Cheap, but sweet
Rulez!
Amigaaaa....
great remake
Looks familiar :)
8k seems to be the new platform for reporting classics! (remember second reality 8k)
It's a rules!
But guys, please stick to doing mostly original stuff - that's so much better!

Nice remake in 8Kb.
Fuckings to Lord Helmet :)

Next year Hardwired please. :)
haha, great job!
OK, so the shadercompo ball is what needs the shader compiler ;) Compression knowledge has come together in a very nice way for this remake, I think. :)

Nice remake and quite a lot of content in 8k.
Very cool
Impressive how well this matches the original on Amiga, which is one of the really great demos on that platform. Thus the same design and structure works just as well here, and the sizecoding aspect of the soundtrack and effects of course is a noteworthy achievement. I feel this was a response to the Second Reality "shader port", but unlike that lackluster effort this actually was the more perfectionist approach to the same concept.
Excellent and impressive for 8k
nice idea and remake for 8k!
Amazing
Perfect remake of an Amiga lassic within 8k. Impressive.
Nice one, but for Nexus-7 remakes I prefer Planet Loonies :)
No fuckings to Lord Helmet = auto thumb down. ;)
This is a really great remake of Nexus 7 in just 8k and I'm especially impressed by the excellent rendition of the music, great work everyone involved!
For some reason I'm not awestruck though even though I should, I guess I'll still watch the Amiga original as it just feels "more natural" to watch classic Amiga stuff on the real deal. :)
Anyway, great work with a lot of attention to detail as usual in Loonies productions.

Not bad. Also nice to try attempting in the live shader contest.
Very nice remake.
My personal favourite at Revision this year. Awesome work!
Very impressive that all this fits in 8k. Nice tribute!
I love the original, and I love the remake. Well done guys!
Excellent! And apparently Lord Helmet finally found closure, no more fuckings to him.
yeeeeessssss !! :)
ara, StingRay, but they did!... at the prize giving ceremony. ;)
Hahah! you guys are just mad!
Worthy conversion, fun!
This is super-super cool, expertly done and just a super-nice homage! I love it so much :)

Some of the clap sounds in the synth is so spot on! Incredible
Yeah! what next ? Enigma/Phenomena in 4 kb ? ;)
I checked 1:1 with original, it's amazing work. The attention to detail. 8k is really tight. Hats off guys!
what tomkh said!
Loved it! :)
i cant help but admire the effort and brilliant music conversion
but it lacks the feel of the original, mostly due to the missing pixelgfx-magic :/
not a big fan of remakes but the thumb has to go up

I'm sure it didn't win, because all these effin' newbies at the place didn't even knew the original! ;) (1994 was too long ago, we are old!)
Otherwise - as I said before - a very nice effort, on the very wrong platform! :P

Great
stupidly i didn't catch it yet when reading the beam slide and i heard the first two notes during that galaxy starfield thing and i thought 'oooh, no, they havent!!!' excellent stuff :D
Very good! Also, I'm kinda pleased that a remake didn't win the compo, regardless of how nicely it was pulled off. :)
:D
Despite all the glory I'd like to say that this is not the best remake of all time in every way, because the C64 Second Reality had better music than the original, in some ways. (which was an incredible feat)
Instant amigaist wet dream
Cool effort, especially in this size. A lot more true to the original than 8k Reality too, but that probably also is due to the demo content :)
One of the greatest production of Revision16! Incredible amount of work, I have no idea why it did not win. perhaps Charlie is right.
That rocked. Hard to believe that it all fits into 8kb.
i don't like remakes, but this one is good.
Lord Helmet got fuckings in the prize giving so I guess he still sucks..
Thumb up for the amount of work (and thanks Punqtured for the interesting write-up!), but in the end it's only a remake going for the popularity of the original prod with (almost) no creativity of your own. :-/
Awesome!
Obviously a great amount of skill is needed to achieve something like this, for me that needed a creative approach to make it work as Punqtured just described.
Not only did the coding skills impress me, but the music remake was also brilliantly done. I totally enjoyed watching this, and I take it as a homage to the original while still demonstrating a high level of skill and creativity to realise it in 8k.

Excellent implementation, but conceptually this leaves me pretty cold. I think that even a direct remake should have something that's unique to itself, some improvement or design or own voice or something. I can understand the fact of porting "down" (like the C64 version of Desert Dream) carries a lot of technical difficulty. This? I am not so sure. It doesn't feel that way to me, although of course there are probably lots of technical challenges here. It looks like the amiga demo to me and I've already seen it.
@Punqtured: I realize that you need a lot of technical creativity to pull this off, fighting the constraints imposed by the size-limit. As a coder for an oldschool platform, I know that all too well. But even when redoing a traditional effect, I expect there to be at least a small amount of artistic creativity as well. To me, a demo should be more than just technology, it's about the synergy of technical achievements and artistic decisions, and the latter is what I'm missing here.
It seems I forgot the thumb up that I mentioned in my last comment for the amount of work, so here it is, now also for the technical creativity. :)

I'm not the biggest fan of these kind of remakes, but the love (and sizecoding) you guys put into this one makes it impossible to dislike. Great :)
This was great! Coming this close to the original in 8k must have taken some effort.
In fact, the animation of the character in the "natural motion" part looks so much like the '94 version that I am tempted to ask if you used the original quadratic curve data :)
Thank you very much for this!

so cool :)
You finally made the PC a cool platform by natively being able to run this demo :D
Nice tribute. :)
Forgot to comment on the audio-work, stellar.
After the two parts we saw from Blueberry in the shader showdown, I jokingly asked him how long until he's gonna do the rest of nexus 7. His reply was something along the lines of "I don't think that should take very long".
I didn't expect this at all. You glorious bastards. If I could give this two thumbs, I would.

Unexpected :D
A really nicely done tribute demo!
Hell yes!
@Punqtured: great work in the sound track! Having been on a few byte hunts with blueberry in the past I can say it's a lot of fun.
The rest of the team bloody great job. It is massively creative at a technical level. Its one thing to get that much content in 8k but it's entirely another thing having to recreate something else scene for scene!

nice tribute & in only 8k but Amiga classics must be stay on Amiga, to be watch again & again !!! :-)
A bit disappointed that Lord Helmet was not mentioned in the scroller :-)
But thanks for remembering me at the prizegiving :-)
This is one of my favourite demos of Amiga scene.
RAW - We try Harder!!

Final version calls for more fuckings! ;)
Should have won. Great work guys!
Being the prick I am, I kept waiting for the obvious glaring problem in comparison to the original, but it just never came. (But I might have.)
nice remake
Very good, some sounds was annoying though.
Impressive, especially the sound track conversion!
Wow.
How you have packed the first portrait?

LordHelmet: You are welcome. The most common complaint from people we talked to after the compo was those missing fuckings, so we sought to rectify that omission by mentioning you at the prizegiving. :)
I guess I'll have to show my ignorance by asking this; why did lord helmet get fuckings in the original anyway?
Nice one ;)
unbelievable that you squeezed this classic in 8k!
i still prefer the original version ;-)

Please release the Amiga effects only on Amiga platform.
Incredibly faithful recreation of one of my all time favourite Amiga demos! Well done and of course it looks a bit off / odd in 16:9 and without pixels, but that's to expected imho.
After 5 seconds listening to the pipe organ I had tears in my eyes, I still have.
Iam just speechless and still laughed my ass off
Awsum :)
I strongly dislike these recreation efforts, unless they bring something new to the table and transcend the nostalgia circle jerk of middle-aged computer people who ran out of spirit and ideas decades ago.
Now, this is very well executed, but it certainly does not make any attempt to transcend anything. Old stuff re-iterated, again. I hope we are not stuck in an infinite feedback loop by the time this scene really dies.

Punqtured, thank you for the answer!
And how you make a "custom shading"? Do you render the face to a small texture and then zoom this texture to fill the screen? Or is it a bitmap?

Even though it is "just" a remake, I like this much better than the compo winner.
Maybe its the Luxo Jr. reference that sold me. :)

Rulez of course (and what I had a talk with Blueberry about)
Seems pretty amazing to me.
Would win the Demo Remake Compo and the Most Ballsy Content Reuse In Another Compo Compo fur sure, if those existed ;)
Apart form that I'm a bit torn. Call me a philistine but I never got Nexus 7's appeal in the first place compared to a lot of other Amiga demos of the time so this remake left me pretty cold - on the other hand I can only respect the attention to detail and the sheer amount of content you managed to squeeze into 8K. So yay :)

Thumb of approval. Unbelievable that you could cram the demo into 8k!
How the hell did you do those two faces?
Perfect!
hm don't see a deeper sense in doing a remake on a light years better machine... yes it's 8kb...
tbh i'm no real fan of remakes... :) but but nice work...

Brave, and worthy!
Decent. Not a fan of its music.
Great hommage.
Quite a tour de force to put all the content in 8k.

8k!
A true classic very well squeezed into 8k
Loved it at first sight, loved the remake. Has made my day when I saw it live on the big screen. You guys have my deepest respect. Considering that Blueberry had an masterplan here, starting with his shader codings, finished off at prizegiving with that Lord Helmet ode, I have to say this is really genious stuff. In every way.
Hard work & very good result!
I am not a fan of remakes at all, and I would always prefer stuff in Loonies own unique style. However amazing work for sure and I also think this is the best entry of the compo.
lovely execution and pretty true to the original.
in that aspect way better than last years 2nd reality attempt

Well not sure what to say but some demos, if not All are meant to be Paula and AGA. Nexus 7 looks and sound and sync and flow much better but instead of 800k, 8k is ok.
omg, you are TOTALLY AWESOME boys!
what a show, every parts are so perfectly done, a really really great homage to one of our favourite demo ever!
thank you!
fun point: we listened the Nexus 7 mod file in the car during the trip to the party :D

Awesome
This is really awesome. Splendid work everyone involved!
I am a bit ashamed of having won against this with my 60%-effort (my intro is still totally unfinished and was partycoded!) and want to apology!
I think the effects didn´t work too well in 2016...and maybe some of the voters felt that letting win a remake would only yield more remakes in next years compos...which would be cool somehow, but also ain´t exactly what we invented 8k for!
But for the effort alone you should have won, sorry again! ;)
Music is really well done, sounded even a bit better than the original!
Effects are all ported very nicely and i love the fact you didn´t kill em with newskool-postFX to the max!
Graphics...well, it´s just that one picture, but it looks really good for you having had to cram it inside the 8k somehow!
Timing is perfect!

A big resounding "meh" for the arguments about lack of creativity or artistry. There's nothing wrong with going for the technical challenge rather than the artistic one and it's clear that there's plenty of that right here. Not effects-wise but packing all that faithfully remade content in 8k is impressive in itself.
Like many others here I was blown away by the accuracy of the scenes as well as the music remake. I was chuckling with delight during the entire screening of the prod, and still did afterwards. Easily one of my favourite prods of Revision 2016.

Nice remake, as a musician ofcourse amazed, how close you've got to the original in such a small size. The effects are also proper remake of the original one, big up for that. The Andromeda logo doesn't look authentic though :)
Alpha C: If tech is your art, then the challenges are artistic only. A part of the audience doesn't understand some of the art, but it's their problem.
my favourite 8k from now on! :)))
If it would be not 8k, I'd say it's a mediocre replica. But 8k changes everything.
Wow. Very nice remake!
d3dcompiler_47 error message on win7
nice remake.. !
nice remake.. !
impressive.
The motion blur effect is one of my favorite parts ever in a demo but it looks terrible here, so does the logo picture. Makes the rest hard to enjoy, no matter how impressive it is.
8k, nice, but come on.. something original next time ;)
This rocks. I would like to see that some other very popular DOS demos.
Great cover.
Really nice work guys! I enjoyed it very much :) Amigaaaaaa!! :D
Great achievement
8k!
this is the most liked 8k prod so far
obvious thumb
Good stuff. 8k does seem like the most interesting format to port old demos. Sad that the nice pixel graphics had to be smoothed for compressibility, but them's the breaks.
"limited size" conversions of classics should be a thing...
awesome remix of an "awesome classic demo". rulez \o/
entertaining like 1994!
wow.
huge achievement to create in 8k
Insane
great
Impressive 8k remake of a classic masterpiece!
