The improvement of your seconds version is good......the music is good as it seem match the demo itself.
The stars that come toward ya is good. Would be nice to have alpha rainbow fonts or rainbow fonts that stand out in crowd but I am not sure....it just suggest(or just idea)

You doing great with those checkboard and with these checkboard....it can create anythings with it on whatever you wish!

cheers

Very fine improvements you made there Shocky.

Maybe it is just me - but I think the text stays too long on the screen. I would reduce
the delay of this. And maybe doing a different and faster way of letting the letters dis-
appear from the screen....

Just my 2cts.

SPS.zip == Very impressive and i must say, i really like it a lot... I like the chippy comic bakery sound, the rotated chessboard (even if i dont know nor understand how it works :P), and my beloved old textwriter like in the intro of the amiga game jumping jack'son *yeah*   *kicking ass! great work!* :goodpost:

Hehe I remember that game! The music sounded like the rolling stones singing Jumping Jack Flash! So cool.
The music was the best part of that game.

And Chris, thank you for your nice comment :) As soon as I get a font from Nuke I will finish this.

No, this one went in the dustbin! It was just one of those things I could never finish.  :)

No worries mate I'll settle on the last version in this thread.Reading this thread from the start gives me an insight on how you go about making demos and how it evolves from a flash of inspiration and ideas from other members.Brilliant stuff

don't drop it! this is f***ing cool! I see some heavy inspiration from the M.A.D. cracktro by Stormlord but that's exactly the kind of stuff I'd like to see these days. Some great old-school FX with some new-school improvements. There is really a lot you can do with these zoom-writers....

I'd just suggest to speed-up the zooming of the letters because it shows some pixel-adjustments when reaching the front plane (I experienced the same when debugging the M.A.D. cracktro). A faster motion would look better. Maybe less delay between chars so it looks like a spray. The "comic bakery" remix is speedy enough to handle as speedy writer.

My last question, when do you plan to release this? ;)
We once had a passion
It all seemed so right
So young and so eager
No end in sight
But now we are prisoners
In our own hearts
Nothing seems real
It's all torn apart

Nick ! Don't drop this mate this is awesome !
my 2 cents

for the moving border with the white zooming letters , wouldn't it be nice if those letters where made of bobs?

the second design i like that one very much too, i think the only change needed in both designs is the font and the coloring of the font.

other than that , both are very very nice ;D
