I must say I am unimpressed by this years Amiga demos at Revision 2012. Last year we had Human Traffic which was the bomb and loads of other good entries to explore all over youtube like Shake off the Dust (with that almost hypnotic soundtrack *thumbs up*) and Swansong to name another - even Boogietown at Revision 2012 was a bit like 'meh'. I do not mean to discredit their hard work, but this year we had had some random 'how to cook with mama' slideshow affair and a completely pointless panda.
I will be interested to see what Viva Amiga got in the way of footage from this years show...
Still one of my favourites from 2010: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FublQwmMYVk and not a cookbook or panda in sight.
you clearly have no/little experience with the amiga demoscene the last 10years.
Kakao by Elude was FILLED with brand new effects. And was a mindblow.
The demos you refer to from last year are nice, but alot of recycling, and nothing near the skillfull coding as this years 2nd place.
I agree that Ikadalawampu is one of the ALL TIME best prods ever made on Classic Amiga. But we can't expect Blueberry to come up with these amazing things every year.
I know there was another Loonies Ghostown coop for Revision 2012, but they could not finish.
Boogietown was a fresh injection to a forgotten platform, Amiga 500, with amazing gfx and some nice effects and a kickass tune.
So I totally disagree your opinion. And who cares about the last placers? Ofcourse there will be "compo fillers" at parties. People just having fun making a prod to contribute to the compos. I think it is a good thing. Better with something than nothing at all.
