Experimental small things from the workshop.
Prototypes, weird game ideas, unfinished demos, glitch tests.
Experiments
Open viewerArcynia
Five ways to bend, break and worship the Arcynia logo. From razor sliced shutters to molten wax and a wandering magnifying glass.
Inspect ExperimentAurora Borealis
Curtains of northern lights sway over a starfield with falling meteors. Click to send a gust of solar wind through the sky.
Inspect ExperimentBlack Hole
A wireframe singularity warps space. The geometry stretches, breathes, collapses and unfolds.
Inspect ExperimentBoing Ball
The red and white checkered ball that started it all, bouncing forever over a purple grid.
Inspect ExperimentCheckerboard Floor
The infinite floor from a thousand Amiga demos, rolling toward you in perspective. Glowing bobs bounce across the tiles while the horizon rocks and banks.
Inspect ExperimentDot Morph
A cloud of thousands of glowing dots dissolves and reforms between ten shapes, from a sphere and a spiral galaxy to a beating heart and the letter A.
Inspect ExperimentFlow Field Silk
Thousands of particles drift through an invisible flow field and weave glowing threads of silk. Click to unravel the weave and let a new one form.
Inspect ExperimentGlenz Vectors
Transparent glass polyhedra spin like neon jewels, every face glowing through every other.
Inspect ExperimentKefrens Bars
The legendary one line trick from the Amiga scene. Neon bars smear into shimmering curtains, from a single lonely ribbon to wild woven walls of light.
Inspect ExperimentMetaballs
The lava lamp of the demoscene, glowing blobs that flow together and split apart. Push the goo around with your pointer and drop new bubbles with a click.
Inspect ExperimentMobius Tunnel
An endless ride through twisting neon rings, where every click pushes you deeper and faster into the light.
Inspect ExperimentMoire
Rings, lines, grids, rays, spirals and dots drift across each other and weave rippling interference patterns.
Inspect ExperimentNeon Rain
Glowing neon orbs falling like rain, shattering into light as they hit the ground.
Inspect ExperimentOrbital Decay
Hundreds of moons in true n body orbits around a dying star. Click to throw in a rogue planet and watch the cascade.
Inspect ExperimentPixel Storm
Lost pixels gather in the dark, forming signals, symbols and broken arcade dreams.
Inspect ExperimentPlasma
The demo effect above all others. Waves of sine fields melt into psychedelic color that never repeats, with four palettes and a ripple on every click.
Inspect ExperimentReaction-Diffusion Goo
Alien coral that grows, divides and eats itself, painted in neon.
Inspect ExperimentRetro Scroller
Classic demoscene scrolltext in chunky Amiga resolution. Ten scroll styles on buttons, from golden raster text to sine waves and copper bars.
Inspect ExperimentRotozoomer
An endless texture spins and zooms across the whole screen, from neon checkers to the Arcynia logo itself.
Inspect ExperimentShadebobs
Soft orbs of light sweep across the screen on lissajous paths and accumulate glow wherever they pass, painting the canvas into a living artwork.
Inspect ExperimentStarfield
The one effect every cracktro carried, an endless flight through the stars. Ten skies to explore, from hyperspace and black holes to constellations that spell runes.
Inspect ExperimentTerminal Rain
Falling code in a language no one taught you. Somewhere in the noise a familiar word is waiting to be decrypted.
Inspect ExperimentTwister
Pillars twist like licorice sticks, winding several full turns as they spin around their own axis.
Inspect ExperimentVector Balls
Shaded spheres locked in rotating formations, the signature move of the golden Amiga era. Flip on UNLIMITED and the balls are never erased again.
Inspect ExperimentVHS Sunset
An endless drive into a neon sunset. Wireframe grid, striped sun, procedural mountains and VHS glitches that sweep across the tape.
Inspect ExperimentVoxel Landscape
The pride of the late Amiga era, a voxel flight over an endless heightmap. Steer with your pointer and watch four worlds roll by beneath the haze.
Inspect ExperimentWater Ripple
The grand finale of every great demo, a glowing scene mirrored in restless water. Sine waves bend the reflection while ripples roll from your fingertip.
Inspect ExperimentWormhole
Photons fountain outward through neon trails. A singular point opens and the dark fills with light.
