Leonard Ritter is a very talented guy. Looking forward to NOWHERE. He's known as paniq in the demoscene and did the music, 2d engine and graphics for the awesome Masagin: [VIDEO]

The one for NVScene 2008 kicked ass. It's about as close as you can get to color intoxication (which is the rough translation of "farbrausch"). [VIDEO]

Farbrausch's "debris." shows just how much you can pack into 200k (including the audio, btw). [LINK] For the webby crowd: "Masagin" features animated, recursive SVGs with antialiasing and motion blur at high rez and high frame rate. [VIDEO] Or, you could download both demos from [LINK] and run them on your own PC.
