It's crazy what they can get this 40 year old machine to do now.

[@DenizTurkmen]

A C64 demo that keeps giving. Props to all the coders and artists involved. Excellent music, great graphics, and impressive performace. S tier.

C64 demos are so much better in general than Amiga demos.

[@AmigaMaster]

Most often, yes they are. But the X'2023 also was an exceptional great demo event and all op three demos are outstanding creations. On the Amiga the best demo from the recent years is the Batman Rises demo from Batman Group (www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=93011). The proved that an uaccelerated A500 can do something jaw dropping when you have have time and leisure.

Actually, amiga demos are better in terms of 16-bit, or (32-bit I'm assuming...), and yeah, C64 may be nostalgic and enjoyable, but Amiga may be enjoyable as well, especially the 4 channel Paula. And what you're hearing on the C64 is the reverse engineering of Amiga Pro tracker .mod files, thanks to THCM.

I bet making this demo did take a while 🙂

[@AmigaMaster]

On my discord, one of the graphic artists wrote, that the development began as early as 2018, but the team was not active throughout and there was already a draft for the end part animation in 2016.

[@bbtund81]

I love how the demos showcase many c64 games in one file. :)

[@henrikhyrup3995]

All that wizardry going on around the 5-minute mark....so many different things PUT TOGETHER?? Absolutely bonkers!

[@iliasfog8857]

[@HuntersMoon78]
