@^@f00@t1 CAT demo by Silents/Crionics @t4 This is the first real demo I've seen which was made for money. It is no surprise that CCK wanted the creators of the best demo ever to make an advert demo for them. It's easy to see that this demo was made for money. Even though the design is great (as usual!), and the coding is OK aswell, you can see that SI/CR haven't been as enthusiastic about this, as they where about HARDWIRED. I think that The Spy has taken some of his old source disks (beginning from 1990) and used a few of the medium good routines. Some of the new people on the scene might think, that e.g the dotcarpet is a new idea. Actually it was done the first time back in the autumn 1990. Most of the other routines have seen their first light ages ago aswell. It is quite obvious that this is far below what The @^Spy can do when he really puts his mind to it, but you can not expect him to be too enthusiastic when he's not coding for any reason but the money (I would certainly show the same amount of energy). The design is ofcourse what lifts this demo above the deep stinking swamp called average. What ever Mikael Balle and Jesper Kyd touches, it turns to gold. At least it always turn out looking great. The music is very good, even though it's a bit boring. There aren't many new ideas in this demo, but the design once again contains some new style ideas which should also be rewarded in the ideas category. @ta--------------- Ratings -------------- Coding: 72% Graphics: 60% Music: 75% Idea: 60% Design: 94% Overall: 88% --------------- Ratings --------------
