The Amiga demo "Ocean Machine" by The Black Lotus (TBL).

This demo won the Breakpoint05 Amiga Demo compo.

For some reason, the voice in the soundtrack is barely audible. Dunno why, it was ok in the video I uploaded.
The soundtrack can be downloaded here: http://www.crankshaft.fi/mp3/Crankshaft_-_Ocean_Machine.mp3

  • Well the demo was produced on 1992 hardware with no graphics card acceleration and a 50mhz Motorola 68060 CPU which was the limitation imposed upon TBL as per rules of the Demo Scene Competition.

    Do you realise this? If you do realise this then PLEASE make a Demo on the Amiga and then rush over to either Breakpoint in Germany or Assembly in Finland to display your work! We would all love to see it! (and i don't mean this in a sarcastic condescending way)

  • Amiga Rulez !!!!

  • @swapd0 Look into Sparse Voxel Octree's. On more recent hardware you can see them used(look on youtube) in Linger In Shadows which is by another demoscene group, all the animals in that are done using SVO's.

  • This is real coding! Real DEMO!

  • It's sure one of the best demos on Amiga last years. The music is also awesome (pity that video is in so low quality here). I liked especially the parts with those "3d pixels" and the radiosity shaded scene with cubes, which were quite simple to make, but it all gives totally great impression. Great design simply. The Amiga demos have always such a cool spirit :)

    Amiga rulez! :)

  • la moutarde c'est fort, et c'est pour ca que c'est bon...

  • the video rocks. i <3 TBL!

    i just wonder why youtube isnt able to deliver a 240p videp smoothly streaming on my 25mbit line.

  • Every time i watch this it's a bit sad. It's sort of a distorted what could have been for the amiga.

  • @marcinceHH Yes i heard about that and its quite sad :( But this as you say one of the best demo's for the Amiga bar none :) Best regards to you also my friend.

  • Love that demo! Especially greets goin to yolk for awesome music!

    Amiga 4eva!

  • DirectX, OpenGL..pffftt. Developers have never had it so good. This is 100% assembler - 100% raw - 100% hardcore. They just don't make coders like TBL anymore - these days anyone can call themselves a programmer. This is about bending the laws of electronics and squeezing 110% out of the hardware and every last pixel is down to the coders. Utterly sublime skills.
