You might need to register, or if the file comes down as a html file, just rename it to a .zip extension and you'll be able to extract :)

The artwork is brilliant, DaXX is in my opinion one of the best gfx artists in the scene :) It's better than my code, that's for sure!

Thanks Benny, seriously you would not believe how many hours I've spent on this just changing little details here and there.

Renaming the file did the trick. You sure got a lot of stuff going on in this intro. The circle scroller is a bit difficult to keep up with, probably because its somewhat transparent, but other than that, it looks great and the tune is rather nice as well. Great work.

Hey Nick!

Great stuff, I really like that circular scroller, especially the way it interacts with the stuff going on in the background :)

Seriously guys, it got to the point tonight where I'd obsessed over everything so much that I didn't really want to release it! I feel most sorry for Nuke, I rejected 2 tunes and gave him a lot of headaches trying to get a suitable song. In the end I was lucky that DaXX made this song.

I just had this on my hard drive in virtually the same state you see it now for probably 2 weeks. Every day I'd load it and change something.. I changed the colour scheme at least 8 times, I spent even longer on this than any other demo I've ever made. Now I am glad it's out!

I tried to remember everyone in my greetings btw, If I've forgotten anyone it's not on purpose and I am sorry.

Nice one Shockwave!  By far your best one!

Image looks good, download link on IntroInferno doesn't seem to work for me though.

=> that is fixed, it was linked to file name and only under firefox.

Post by: Shockwave on March 12, 2007
Thank you everyone for your excellent feedback :) Appreciated.
Emil, lol it's up to you if you try and port this.. Using the source is the easy way around, if you fresh coded it, it would be much more fun for you :D It was fun for me!

Better late then never..

Awesome work Shockwave! :clap:

I'm curious it what coding language you coded it.
PureBasic ?

Cheers,

Post by: Stonemonkey on July 14, 2007
I'm pretty sure this was made using freebasic.
Title: Re: S!P Dark Wave Intro.
Post by: Shockwave on July 14, 2007
Yip, it was made with nearly 100% Freebasic and one small bit of asm that was just used for rasterising things :) Glad you liked it DeXtro.

Very nice intro shockwave and a good demonstration of Freebasic Possibilities.

I am working on something for S!P now that could use some of your magic pixels, thing is that I am not sure what resolution it will be in finally, but I will know soon :) It depends how much stuff I am going to add, it will be a sequel to "Dutch Colourz" but with brightly coloured chessfields, zooming typers and cute stars and stuff.
