Quote: I think it's that "wow" factor -- not the aesthetic, itself -- that people are looking for.
Yes, but somehow practically all of the demoscene demos have this wow factor. It's because they use their (artistic) creativity in the right places to create a real style. Every game should have a style, there are lot's and lot's of games that lack style all together. -Not saying getting a style just right is easy, but looking at the demoscene, even small (one man) teams should be able to achieve a style with a wow factor.-
