I saw this on r/tipofmytongue:

Hello. I am looking for a 3D animation with a relatively realistic style that shows a girl throughout stages in her life looking at various era appropriate graphic demos from the demoscene on her different computers, starting with a C64, then an Amiga and finally a PC. I must've seen this video before 2015 and from its rendering style with realistic lighting it can't be older than 2000 (probably more like 2005 onwards).

The video didn't have a lot of animation outside the demos showing up on her computer screens, and I think the video showed her programming the demos, teaching herself more advanced techniques as time and technology progressed. There was no dialogue or voiceover and the animation was accompanied with a touching soundtrack that was electronic but cinematic, not with a driving beat.

It was probably pre-rendered but I wouldn't rule it out that it was a screen recording from a live PC demo.

There were no suggestions, and looking through the OP's post history it doesn't look like they ever tried this subreddit - so I thought I'd ask here because now I'm curious! Especially about the Amiga demo, because I want to know which one it was!

Hope someone can help.

Cheers,

Amy M.

Hi, I am new here.

I had a demo for windows and I have

been attempting to find the name of the demo. (Didnt think itd matter later).

Parts include a ufo chase over water but in a small valley, and also multicolored twist rope for. Brief moment.

Demo came shortly after the 2060s if i can recall correctly.

I'm a 42yo dude that grew up admiring the demoscene every inch of its way. The amount of inspiration and direction I took from all these amazing people is hard to overstate.

One aspect being, that the scene has always been on top of tech, and made exceptional use of the hardware avialable at the time.

Almost 2y ago I called the shot to buy my first VR headset - the Quest 3. Had a bunch of fun with it, but am inreasingly let down by the graphical fidelity of games released with VR in mind. I went mostly in with PCVR in mind, yet developers tend to aim for the lowest common denomniator for graphics - the mobile kind, that runs natively on glasses. Massive bummer.

So here I am, wondering if the scene has taken to this "new" realm of possibilities. And kindly asking for directions to find ways of experiencing them, if they do indeed exist.

Many thanks in advance and the kindest of regards!

What is the name of this demo shown at 00:20 https://youtu.be/VFQ9BwfQJRA?si=kqEBuzMM-_VQ0Zxd

Hello there!

30 years ago I was in a group called Dual 4mat. We had a few demos released, most of which have now disappeared into the digital ether. Our biggest production was a demo called WOO! Just a simple prod with a catchy tune.

30 years later I decided to revisit WOO and remade it in Scratch, which is perfect for it (I wish it had been around back then as 68k ASM was probably not the best thing to code this kind of prod in.)

2024's version can be found here: https://megamitts.itch.io/woo-2024

1994's version can be found here: http://janeway.exotica.org.uk/release.php?id=104560

If you want to run WOO94 then you'll need to run WinUAE/UAE as a 500+ with 1mb chip.

I hope you enjoy it. See you on Pouet!

Edit: Thanks for the upvotes 😁

Looking back with wiser eyes I think this demo would have been better coded in AMOS back in 1994 but it was looked down upon to use it in the Amiga scene. However it would have been a lot better to use. These days I think I'll just use whatever gets me the result I want. A 48 year olds view compared to an 18 year olds.

When i decide to make a demo with my group for a compo, when can i start working on it? Is it when the compo's announced?

Not sure if this is the right place to ask for it, but I am looking for a demo from the early 90s, that was called "Dive". I know among others there was a spinning "key-like" symbol in it and the text Join the Dive was appearing repeatedly. Is there an archive of old demos where I could try to look it up?
