Скачать или смотреть What Is The Matrix II: A Showcase of Elite C64 Craftsmanship

Released on 23 November 2024 at the Mysdata 2024 demoparty, What Is The Matrix II earned a remarkable 2nd place in the C64 demo competition—an accolade that reflects its technical acumen and artistic impact
Spectacular Visual and Musical Synergy

Artistry: The demo features gorgeous, high-resolution, high-color graphics crafted by the talented team of DeeKay and Talent. The artwork ranges from smooth color-cycling patterns to geometric spirals and intricate, array-style sequences that feel almost hyper-real on vintage hardware

Code Wizardry: The programming team—led by Bob, Edhellon, Firehawk, Krikkit, Lavazza, Magnar, Oswald, Peacemaker, and Swallow—unleashes advanced effects like full-border sprite helices, dynamic sprite layering, and D016 chip wobble tricks that show deep command of the VIC-II’s quirks.

Audio Atmosphere: The soundtrack, composed by Magnar Harestad, is both dramatic and immersive. Combined with expertly placed samples, it elevates the demo’s pacing and overall mood, making each transition feel deliberate and emotionally resonant.
