Fr-087: Snake Charmer PC Demo
- DiabloD3 9y agoFarbrausch has made some of the coolest demos I've ever seen.
- eterm 9y agoThey have (fr08 completely blew my mind when I ran it at the time), but this isn't one of them. Far cooler from the same competition alone is fr-minus-019 (a 64k intro) https://demozoo.org/productions/173267/ https://demozoo.org/productions/173267/
- hansjorg 9y agoSummary of the pouet.net comments: Proof of concept DX12 engine by chaos. One effect, no post processing. Still pretty cool though.
- ToJans 9y agoWhile it has a nice atmosphere, I don't see what makes it special enough to be featured on hacker news? It looks just like a simple vertex shader to me TBH, or an I missing something blatantly obvious here?
- abstractbeliefs 9y agoIt's a cute little demo that's only basically 1MB all in. That said, I don't think it's the best for this group - they've done more in far less before. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqu_IpkOYBg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqu_IpkOYBg for example, is an executable only 177KB big.
- lph 9y agoNot following the demo scene, and not being current on the capabilities of graphics cards these days, I have no idea if this is impressive. Wish it came with some explanation.
- AceJohnny2 9y agoPouet.net is the more popular information repository for demos. Here's their link for the same demo: http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=70418 http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=70418
- ranza 9y agoStill remember seeing fr-08 live at The Party here in Denmark 17 years ago. It has to be one of the most impressive things ive seen and it was what got me into demos.
