1st PC demo ever, released at Abduction '96
(B) 1986 - 1996, ja stoori vain jatkuu, saatana.The first step to PC platform, Drill Me, Please Me, was instant success and a continuation step on the road of winning democompos with non-finished and bugging productions. The tale behind Drill is true legend.
Originally (B) wanted to step onto PC platform already in 1991/1992, when we were a Amiga group. Back then guys voted against it. Now we had been planning the demo for a long time and started heavily doing it. Everything happened very smoothly: Micron whipped everyone in the party, no sleep no rest, not even smoke breaks. Sivu managed to steal a moment or two and had a illegal smoke break though. At some moment Kraku appeared and saw guys were doing a demo. It was a miracle, a miracle, you hear it? A MIRACLE! Kraku offered to join, was accepted and brought great demoparts that made DRILL good.
Check the Abduction'96 report for more details about the creation of Drill.

As a tradition, Ya'dot Klimon was mixed together during 6 days before christmas eve. This time, drinking beer was not a top priority like it has been so far when making productions - at least we tried to make this show enjoyable and entertaining.
This is the party and the final version. No bugfixes coming.. (No bugs? If something strange appears, they're features :)
This demo shows our growing skills in creating good, even totally excellent PC code and effects. Unfortunately, it falls down in one very important poing: design.
Ya'dot clearly shows how we have lacked an important bit of designing. This was coming up when making the demo, but the decision was made after all to put the demo in the competition. As faintly expected, it didn't work out.
Therefore we are have now taken a challenge: create DESIGN. Our C-64 demo Extremes is in our opinion extremerely (forgive the pun) well designed, balanced and technically awesomely extremerely brilliant. Our next demo should show that same quality in design as well as in the code.
Meantime, enjoy the demo! Even while it didn't get to top3, it remains highly enjoyable show. And actually, we might say, Ya'dot Klimon is maybe one of the most underrated Byterapers demos you can find.
Please note that this demo requires UniVBE. If you don't have it, get Scitech Display Doctor. Unless you have fully VESA 2.0 capable graphics card you may suffer horrible problems running the demo.

Hyperventilation (PC DOS & Windows)
Release: eh....??
Lenght: 3900 kb ZIPped
Code: Mr.Sex & Gurdan
Visuals: Mistral & Mike & Jat
Music: Musical: Yolk & Legend / CNCD
Design: Mistral
Compatibility: ?The 4th demo from Byterapers on the platform of PC demo programming.
This demo was created mainly in a very hectic two week final period before the Swedish party of Remedy'98. Originally it was attempted for Abduction'98, but after winning the Abduction'98 PC demo competition twice in row and getting practically a NIL as prices, it was decided to be delayed for a better opportunity. This came in form of the Remedy, in Stockholm/Sweden. The original design was lavishly improved with the extra time. A bunch of members collected themselves together for brainy finals, and the telecommunication systems burned hot when ideas and new materials were continually exchanged. Special bows must definitely be given to Mistral, who as the youngest (B) member showed mag talent in the design process. He was a whole flood of ideas, and even able to direct his brainies to the coders who in their turn were able to create great results.
Even after all the work put into the demo, it almost never took part in the demo competition. Demo was supposed to be transferred to Mike, the sole (B) member in the party, though Internet but Mike didn't show up in IRC eventhough guys were sitting impatiently with a fresh demo in their hand.... Neither did he answer his mobile, which was either broken or batteries empty. A crash operation was created to contact the (B) members in Stockholm, but by bad luck not one of them was available. The situation was even more dire, since originally it was thought the demo deadline is saturday 2000 - BUT it was saturday 0800. Or something. Finally Mike showed up in IRC though, and explained the damn party had only one computer that had access to the outer world through Internet and he had waited for his turn for 10 hours.
Almost a happy ending. 2nd place it was, but a moral 1st. See Bytenews too.

Design: Mistral
Compatibility: Runs on everything.Competed in Assembly'98. Came 4th. Sucks. Was the best demo in the competition but had back luck with the voters, who liked repeating 3D scenes and really shitty and lousy humour over a good demo.
Please note that there are now three different versions of Sexadelic around.
So which version should I watch I hear you ask. Either the final or Windows version. Final version is the best in visual quality, as some thingies had to be removed during the Windows conversion. Windows version is the easiest to use though, and even more perfectly on all machines. Your choise.
- The first, old one is the demo participating in Assembly'98.
- Second FINAL version (v2.0) has new design, new parts, new graphics, new code, new effects - it's practically a totally new demo.
- Third version if the final converted to Windows from plain DOS product.
Recognizing the versions is pretty easy. Just peek at filename. Archives sexadeli.zip or b-sexadel.zip are partyversions. b-sex.zip is the final. b-sexadelic_windows.zip is for Windows.

Compatibility: requires Windows, runs on everything.Windows conversion of the demo Sexadelic, that originally competed in Assembly'98.
This is the third version of the demo. It is based on the final (V2.0) version, that is converted to Windows platform from plain DOS product.
The only difference between this and the original version is that the mushroom scene doesn't contain any particles and there may be few clipping bugs in some of the 3d scenes. Also Bilinear filtering is disabled because it crashed too often. (It's a bit hard to debug a three years old code you know)
So which version should I watch I hear you ask. Either the final or this Windows version. Final is the best in visual quality, as some thingies had to be removed during the Windows conversion. Windows version is the easiest to use though, and even more perfectly on all machines. Your choise.

B-plugin is a standard Winamp visualization plugin released at Assembly 2001 Winamp plugin compo.
Installing: Copy vis_b.dll to your winamp\plugins directory. If Winamp doesnt find plugin, try changing plugin directory even if it looks like correct. I noticed that Winamp sometimes didn't find any plugins even if the path looked correct to me. Changing path fixed the problem. If there is a problem with creating direct3D objects, try to restart your winamp or your computer :) Hehe

Compatibility: Windows - runs on everything.This demo participated at Assembly 2001 party combined demo competition, and placed 3rd.
Nonaccelerated!
It was made in cooperation between Byterapers and Doomsday. Wode / Doomsday was the chief architect putting the demo together, many thanks. He spent the last days before party making the demo round the clock, and process continued during the party itself. We pulled some strings and got him a cozy corner in the partyplace, away from the party chaos, and the guys then made awesome work putting the demo together.
Actually there was a very hard and still classified operation getting the demo to the competition at all. This competition version was submitted only slightly before the competition entries were recorded for showing. Demo changed much during the last 24 hours and many who had seen the earlier "jury version" were positively surprised. Unfortunately all things didn't still didn't fit together. One of the best parts in the demo started crashing just before the final version had to be submitted, so it had to be left out alltogether. Shucks.
And it wasn't quite easy during the last 2 weeks before party either. In total four (4!) musicians failed to produce us a soundtrack. True! First three musicians just failed to show up with a tune, even though they had promised one. One week before the party we were desparate about whole soundtrack issue, and suddenly remembered we got one musician in the group we still haven't asked - and he started working on music right away. That was wednesday. And in the next monday he informed that he had lost inspiration and couldn't continue with the soundtrack, so there we were again. Good thing that we still had Firestorm in the back pocket, and just slammed the tune in so the finishing round could be started.
The competition version doesn't still work completely. It actually crashes during the credits, thats why it ends so suddenly. But no time to fix that bug in the party...
Final version of the demo shoud be available during August. It should be much better still, with new material and real oldskool style scroller ;-)

Hyperventilation for Windows (PC Windows)
Lenght: kb ZIPped

Windows version: Sivu
Visuals: Mistral & Mike & Jat
Music: Musical: Yolk & Legend / CNCD
Design: Mistral
Compatibility: requires Windows, runs on everythingWindows conversion of the DOS demo Hyperventilation, that originally competed in Remedy'98.
The original demo was the 4th release by Byterapers on the PC platform. It was created mainly in a very hectic two week final period before the Swedish party of Remedy'98. To see whole whole story about the creation process please see the story about original Hyperventilation.
Since its release Hyperventilation has been the favourite (B) release on PC, both in the eyes of the creators and the fans. The demo combines great visuals to amazing style and classic, melodic music. But as times change, the PC machines change too. And came a sad day when Hyperventilation just didn't work anymore.
Suddenly the boys started thinking about a demo for Assembly'2001 party. And the old demoengine was fast converted from pure DOS application to Windows. After working very hard with the demo "Recycled" mr. Sivu started wondering along following lines:
And one day in August 2001 there was suddenly "Sexadelic for Windows".
- (B) demoengine is now Windows based
- our old demos are DOS based
- they can be easily converted to Windows with the converted engine
And so fan feedback flooded in requesting conversion of Hyperventilation. But it was not to come, as the source codes of the demo had been lost long ago. Or so we thought. Suddenly Gurdan showed up and shoveled the sources at our faces. "Why you didn't ask from me" he asked - and the others just stared at the code pieces dumbfounded. "Errrrr."
And so Hyperventilation for Windows came into existence. It is not based on the absolutely final release version of Hyperventilation, as there is about 10 hours difference between this source and the final version's final source. And as you can imagine - 10 hours is almost like infinity when finishing demo for a competition. But we've done what we could to update the demo and make it run as good as possible.
Enjoy! You are in for a great show!

Third place at the Assembly 2006 mobile demo compo.This demo had quite a bit unfortunes on it, while in making. In total, the demo was made in five days, starting on the Monday of the Assembly 2006 week. The event started on Thursday and demo was finished on Saturday. Or "finished". Some unlucky stuff happened. Couple scenes, of course the most important ones, were wrecked beyond any repair and had to be kicked out of the demo. Now, we got the demo into a working condition barely before the absolutely final deadlines. It ran nicely, then horribly died in middle of the recording for the competition. Major disaster. It worked no more. So barely one hour before the demo competition a new version bad to be compiled, with yet more removed features and textures reduced to 50% resolution. Finally, the demo ran ok but it was far away from the original plan.
The competition came, demo did run nicely but well, it was just a shadow. Follow The Sign 4 - The Crippled Code.
The final version was released after the competition. It actually works, with fullres textures.
More Making of FTS4 will follow, with a video and screenshots.
