Brainstorm - Roadside Picnic

Breakpoint09 ------------ "it's like mfx except boring"

The gear: PC with OpenGL with ps 2.0, no fancy extensions or illegal substances required to enjoy the demo to the fullest. Though, due to trigger happy programming practices used while making it, wussiest gfx cards might not be able to cope with all of it. Sorry about that, next time it will probably be even worse.

Some notes: This demo is 100% open source, 100% free as in beer and as in freedom and 100% Brainstorm. Assistance available if you feel like porting, tweaking, remixing or just plain old complaining about it. Watch out for an upcoming dramatic "making of"-documentary, arriving soon to a newsstand near you. The engine is new, so expect trouble. Making it took a year, of which most wasn't used properly at all.

The band: * Axel - the yet again desperate producer, kicker of ass, motivator * Preacher - programmer, designer, general all-around scapegoat * Bit Arts - musician, the shaker of worlds, the mixer of beats * Ivy - particle artist extraordinaire, inspirator, colorist * Parsec - modeller, 3D transformer of the demo from suck to rule * Mantraz - texture artist, 2D awesomister of the world * Napsa - inspirator, idea scratching post and condemner of suck * The Brainstorm choir - the bestest backing singers on the planet.

Extra thanks to: * FMOD * GLEW * OpenIL

Same thought here.... Amazing video of whatever it is. Just graphical art to the song?

[ACIDIZER69]

One of my "The best demos ever made. Ever."

@Syksyisin I look back now and realize how amazing this visually is. 1:11 looks like it could be an artifact I guess. I have to tell you,I really enjoy this song with the visuals thrown in. Nice work!

[Syksyisin]

Only graphical art to the song, nothing more. I'm the author and took the name for it from the book, because the book has a kind of an eerie mood. There's not much of a honest connection though :) You might imagine these as abstract representations of the alien artifacts if you stretch your imagination.

Like the book, roadside picnic?
