Title: [Halloween] Something Evil
Post by: Shockwave on October 24, 2007: Here is the entry from me and Ampli^ :)

We hope that you enjoy it.

*DON'T SHOW THIS TO SMALL CHILDREN*

*DON'T WATCH THIS IF YOU HAVE EPILEPSY*

It's better to watch this with the lights out.

Please download by clicking the link below...
>>DOWNLOAD HERE<< (http://www.dbfinteractive.com/demos/Something_Evil.zip)

(Sorry for the large file size (1.7mb)

Also this demo needs a while to get started too so have a little patience, it has a lot of packed images.

Post by: taj on October 24, 2007: Very cool. I know exactly the style you were going for here and its really hard to pull it off - so much work to do all those cuts, distortions, noise etc. The rotating pentagram with fire was a superb effect too. Nice work shockie. Very good entry!

Post by: combatking0 on October 24, 2007: I'd best not show this to my brother, who has epilepsy, or to most of my family (for religious reasons)...

...must...kill...interrupting...Barry... :diablo:

I must say, I didn't notice any hidden messages.

...cook...with...blood... :stirrer:

Full screen too, nice!

Post by: Shockwave on October 24, 2007: Thanks for the nice comments :)

I basically coded a video titling kind of thing to sequence the effects, really messy but it got finished :)

Sorry if it offends anyone, the satanic stuff can be taken with a pinch of salt, I am not really a devil worshipper ;) Dunno about Ampli though :diablo:

Post by: rain_storm on October 25, 2007: This is AWESOME but I do have to ask why you have so many disturbing pictures lying around, its not normal! Loved the fire effects and the pentagram. This is an ace demo man well done !

@rain_storm:
Do you think we should worry about shocky :-[
Title: Re: [Halloween] Something Evil
Post by: rain_storm on October 25, 2007: I don't think we need to worry about him per se, it's more the pictures I'm worried about.

But on a serious note lotsa respect for the effort he must've went through to dig up all those freaky pics AND pack 'em all into an exe thats only 1.7MB

Post by: Tetra on October 28, 2007: That must have been quite tedious to make! Some nice looking stuff :) Particularly liked the last bit with the pentagram interacting with the flames would have liked to seen more of that ;D
