isaac2

Released in Evoke 2024 in Köln (Germany) this is the first demo we completed with Phoenix, the flamant, new and updated demoengine created by Xphere in the scarce time he could gather at night after putting the kids to sleep.

Many years passed since our last production. Life has kept us busy, but this does not mean that we are still dead. Let's call it an active half-zombie state. Anyway, here is the last excretion of our brains: electroscopia, a 203 second endless demo.

The concept behind this production is a bit diffuse. It started as a elucubration of several space scenes in which there were some physical laws that were distorted, but then was slightly moved to a concept involucrating the mind and the creative process.

We changed our demomaking process with this one. We tried to put everything together telling kind of a story or heading somewhere at least.

This demo started like a small project to teach isaac2 how to use our demo editor, but the result was visually appealing enough to present it to the contest.

Particles! This is the merlucin´s favourite theme for a demo. This production was done basically because AMB provided pizza enough to merlucin and isaac2 was coming to BCN Party 111.

After the second part of Die Änderung, we made a promise to ourselves: no more demos until the engine had a realtime preview. We stuck to that promise for almost an entire year, working on the engine and trying to get everything into shape. And here it is: the demo that came out of all that work.

This version of the demo editor is focused in bug fixing. As the new version will be a major rewriting, we want to leave this one as clean as possible. We got rid of the annoying tools window, integrating the working tools in the main edition area, added additional support for modern OpenGL graphics, created a new demo project with a complex scene, increased the number of simultaneous layers available and cleaned lots of dead code from the engine.
