Second Demo Display [Report In Progress, Part 6 Posted]
A Simple Way by Vantage was another demo to bring up some controversy. Some very much
liked it, some very much didn't. Now if you're one of those who liked it, then we're on the same page. But if you're one of those who didn't, well then I'd like you to enlighten me a bit: What was it about this demo that you didn't like? I do remember some guys saying that they were bored. But that's as much as I could gather. The positive side seemed to have a lot to say though. This demos is....well....simple as the name depicts. An easy going /relaxing design with calming colors, put together with a fantastic sound track and some interesting lyrics, "demonstrating" the concept of beauty within simplicity. So explain to me, why did some of you look like you wanted to shoot me for being a bit 
Vantified? :P
You are going our way now,
Our way is simple,
We like going our way,
Because our way is simple,
It is,
A simple way.
I guess you could say that my fellow Elec Engeez got quite a treat this time around, given that there were at least 3 demos related to their field in this show. The very directly related one was Electric Kool-Aid by Synesthetics. The whole demo is displayed through an oscilloscope tube, what else could we possibly ask for? huh? But this electrifying demo didn't just make the EE posse happy, it actually managed to make everyone happy! The super cool design and general atmosphere of this demo was exciting for the whole crowd. It seems like there are not many Synesthetics demos out there, well I hope that we'll see more from these guys in the future.
Update: Guys I don't have the soundtrack for "A Simple Way" in s seperate file. If it's out there, I'm yet to find it. If you find it, I want it too!

I can't believe it! I can't freakin' believe it! You like the Vantage demo more than electric cool aid? (2 screenies?) :P
You like the simple way because it's blue. I know that. You know that.
A big red :PPPPPPPP for both of you!
Who wants to shoot you? Tell me and I'll take care of them! :P
I really liked the Vantage demo too. I totally get you.
The cool aid was such a cool aid! It rocks hard. The colors and everything were so great. I vote EE! :D
I have to add, simple way was ok-ish.
Ok people confess it right now! I wasn't there for the display since I live in the UK, but I've seen "A Simple Way" and hey it does rule!
Glad you agree! :D
Why didn't you come with Soren anyway?
Ah....I wish I had! Work and alike, you know... but I should have. I think.
Next time dude...next time.
Electrical cool aid made me happy! :D
The Vantage demo made you happy, so I guess I'm happy with that too!
A simple way = The music! It's all about that great music! Is the music file available?
Well I don't have it, and I really do want it too. It doesn't come with the demo. I gotta see if I can get a hold of it elsewhere.
Oh so that's what it was? oscilloscope tube? Well I'm not in EE but the cool aid excited me no less than anyone else in the room. :)
Cool aid it is. Yeppers. :)
wow nice description for "A simple way". You can write dude!
But you can't be Vantified! You're ASDfied!
I'm super-ASDfied. Plus, what's wrong with being both? :P
I also feel the need to add that I LOVE THE COOL AID DEMO! LOVE IT! OK? :D
The synesthetics demo was definitely super. The whole tube this was kick ass. The vantage demo was also great, is the music available separately?
Oh man I loved the cool aid too! Graphics and music and atmosphere and everything. "A simple way" was kind of cute too. I want the sound track too if you have it.
Vantage rules. I remember seeing a couple of other demos from them on your notebook too, great stuff.
Synesthetics demo was marvelous.
I think Aasemoon already said that she doesn't have the soundtrack for simple way.
Still if you manage to find it, I want it too!
ELECTRICAL COOL AID RUUUUUUUULEZ!
Ok the vantage demo was boring as hell! I don't know what you guys see in this demo. But the music was actually good though.
And the electrical thing ruled.
Hell yeah! Electric cool aid was one of the best in the show imao.
A Simple Way was sorta sweet. :)
And what are the chances of anyone finding something that you can't find? :D
LOL Andrew! :P
I think the only part of the "simple way" that I liked was the part in your 2nd screenshot. I also liked the music. I'm also a pretty big fan of the "electric kool-aid". But that didn't have much of a music anyway.
Yeah if electric kool aid had a better music it could be perfect!
I really have to second the anonymous guy above. If I didn't like the Vantage demo before, I certainly do now. Has anyone ever told you that you really really can write? You could easily become a journalist!
She could easily become a fashion model dude.
Thank you guys, but I'm quite happy doing what I'm doing. :>
LOL :D
Hehehe I bet you just felt like your IQ dropped a few points...lol
btw, kool aid rules!
No man! Good journalists are darn smart!
HAHAHAHA "Journalists", no comment on the other part eh? LOL LOL LOL LOL....
:P Bloody......................
Electric Kool_Aid rules,
A Simple Way rules,
LOL stop teasing Aasemoon guys!
A simple way actually was somewhat boring. The color was nice, but it was the same through the whole thing! There were some nice design elements though, and the music was good too.
As for Aasemoon, she rocks @ EE, she's not going anywhere! :P
hey that is cool that our demos are talked about so much :) thank you a lot and keep watching out for more coming from us in future.
Hey there, thx for checking this blog out! :) & yeah we'll certainly be watching.
Vantage?
Apparently!
btw. you may ask genox for the soundtrack. i am sure he has got it laying around somewhere.
Yeah actually I was gonna say that, if A Simple Way didn't have that section with that ...uummm.... spinning odd-shaped semi-square thingie (inside the sphere, if anyone knows what I'm talking about and can describe it better, please go ahead!)it would have been better. That was the only boring part.
Andrew: I totally agree with ya!
[I have no better way of putting that though! :P]
Triztan: [Pardon, I didn't even see the 2nd comment before!] I will, thanks for the tip. :)
Ah super, please do, some of us really want it! :P
Whoa...did I mention that I really like this place? :D
This is getting interesting. I wanna go ahead and watch another Vantage demo. Which one would you suggest?
Seamus: EYE-BLEEDING [or something], here it is:
http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=7279
I like this plenty. :)
Go for it.
Ouch...I feel like my eyes are bleeding!
Aasemoon: Thanks!
Mmmm the music could have been a loooooot better.
The graphics were definitely cool, specially those red nail thingies. The butterfly thingies were cute.
Have you noticed how things are "transparent" somehow in the Vantage demos? :)
I like EyeBleeding.
I like A Simple Way.
I like the transparent stuff.
Looks like I like Vantage.
Ok how the hell did this demo end up with 2 ups and 1 down? I'd thumb it up if I were a member.
On one hand you like ASD, on the other you like Satori and Vantage. That's what I call a complex taste.
Dino: The 3 groups that you just mentioned, each have a very different style. I guess it's pretty much similar to my music taste, completely open! :)
Speaking of music, Simple Way soundtrack please? (this is how you annoy the host! :P )
Speaking of music, this:
http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=15114
[Pretty neat design as well.]
Oh man! Now that's music! :O :)
Hey this demo is so cute altogether, hehe very different from everything I had seen thus far.
here you will find pretty much all of our releases: http://www.pouet.net/groups.php?which=40
check out kaffepaus for some 1337 stuff ;)
What exactly is "1337 stuff" ? :) Somehow I don't think that could be the release year.
Got it Got it Got it....
Watched Kaffepause.
Cute Demo.
So very 1337.
Such an unconditional love for caffeine!
:)
Aasemoon: HAHAHAHAHA give it up... you're now officially surrounded by Caffeine lovers! :D
Aase: I know you've been sitting there coding for hours now. you could use some caffeine. ;)
Make all your Caffeine jokes but I still like that demo! It's cute.
In caffeine we trust! =D
This demo speaks to my heart! =D
Music. Again there's the good music.
3 cows ahead ruuuuuuuuuuuuuules! :D
Simple Way sound track please. :)
Ok Kian you might want to wait a little. I think Aasemoon just posted a request for it.
Kaffepause is FANTASTIC. :)
LOL Aasemoon how ironic that you actually like Kaffepause! =P
Why is it ironic? Why do you guys make caffeine jokes?
Because she hates coffee (and so do I)! :P
Gotta love that flying coffee mug! ;)
3 cows ahead is some sort of an invitation isn't it? I guess we're all a bit late for that one anyway! ;P Looks cool though, and the music is fantastic.
btw, what's wrong with your ICQ? I can't add you to my new list.
135318814?
I don't know! Anyone else having trouble with my ICQ?
But ICQ's kind of dead anyways!:P MSN? Yahoo?
Yeah it's an invitaion, and we're about a year or 2 late. :P
No problem with your ICQ!
So what's with all the Atari demos?
Watch them with an Atari emulator!?
There's no "all the atari..." unless you meant in general. There's just 1 Vantage Atari demo as far as I can see.
Which one's that?
This:
http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=13900
As in here:
http://www.pouet.net/groups.php?which=40
It's a cute one by the way. :)
I see.. and just out of curiosity, where are these guys from?
the most of us are from switzerland and some members are from germany and sweden
Cool stuff. :)
Ah, Aasemoon does this have anything to do with your Swatchism? ^_-
lol :D
Hehehehehehe...Swatchism... this is a new one!
No connection though I'm afraid, I've been a bad case of "Swatchism" for just about too long now. :D
OMG 3 cows ahead is so cool! It's got such a great style and such a cool soundtrack. Love it!
Haha go coffee demo! :-)
Hmmm so how come you didn't rate this one? :>
http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=2506
Ehm...yeah...the Cube Trauma :)
And my answer please? ;)
D'oh...
Well Ok!
I totally digg the way it starts,
I like the music,
I like most of the gfx,
But those semi-goth drawings are just soooooooooooo not my cup of tea.
Well it doesn't seem like there's a lot of those in the rest of the Vantage demos anyway.
Yeah everything else about that demo is cool. But that guy with tha..ahh..."face" ... aaa... freaked me out!
Ok if these guys don't make some new demos, pretty soon we're gonna run out of Vantage demos to discuss. :P
yyyeah that could be a problem.
I think ASD, Satori, Vantage, and Synesthetics should produce more often. :>
I second Aasemoon on the Trauma demo.
