Video recording of Regenesis , a 64 KByte realtime short film by Conspiracy. First presented at the Function 2023 demoparty. • Download the realtime version from our website: https://conspiracy.hu/ • Comment on Pouët at https://www.pouet.net/prod_nfo.php?wh... • Engine code and graphics by • BOYC • Visuals and direction by • ZOOM • Synth, music, graphics and editing by • GARGAJ • This tiny little release is almost 3 years in the making. • Writing a demotool is a shiny endevour. It's an enticing project to show off on twitter's • current equivalent in screenshots or short videos without having to actually produce • something in the end. It can also be very seductive when watching people use their • tools at a party to make their releases to go yeah i'll write a tool, THEN I'll make • releases so much faster! . It's also usually not a good idea and the hard drives of • demosceners are littered with failed and abandoned tool projects everywhere. • I've been writing demotools for over 20 years now. I'm one of the lucky few who have had • people work with them, which resulted in over 75 releases by various groups and people, • all of which I personally compiled and tested. I started writing the last generation of • my demotools in August of 2010. apEx, as it was called (short for Another Programming • EXperiment - there's a story of a failed previous generation demotool in that name, btw) • has served us well and was responsible for acclaimed releases such as Offscreen Colonies, • Darkness Lay Your Eyes Upon Me and Clean Slate. • With Clean Slate we pushed apEx to its breaking point. We hacked and squeezed every last • bit (literally) out of what it could do. It was a swan song on purpose, because we hoped • that today would come: Before Clean Slate I started working on my newest demotool on • January 1st, 2021, starting off fresh literally with void main() , building even a UI • engine from scratch and pouring 20 years of experience into what the pinnacle of our • brand of demo tools could be. • Close to 3 years later we have the debut release created with Archon, called Regenesis. • It's not much as it was created in 2 days at the end of a very hectic 2 week rush to • create the standalone demo engine. In many ways it's the complete opposite of Clean Slate: • It's completely unoptimized, with zero thoughts on what should be left out of the engine • or what should be removed from the release to make it fit better. Heck, not even the • shaders are minified, even the comments were kept in there. It's a proof of concept, and • it shows one thing: • Archon is ready for action. • (ps. we have undo now! :D) • https://www.conspiracy.hu • / conspiracyhu • / conspiracy.hu
