Great project. How many weeks are you committing to the 1-a-week learning process? You get better results in personal challenges like this with a concrete end date.
Don't let the peeps on the demoscene board discourage you - their expectations are deeply imbalanced ;)
I think you'd get a lot more feedback if you screencapped the demos and posted youtube/vimeo videos on your blog. The default viewing process isn't the most inviting.
I'm planning on doing it until I feel I can build something large, but I may well continue doing these demos for a long time afterwards -- after all, you can do a lot in a very short period of time, especially once you've built up your base toolkit. I built this one in about 7 hours from scratch, with no prior knowledge of FMOD, so I don't think it's too bad.
As for the pouet guys, I'm not too worried about them -- I'm doing this for myself, but I've received a lot of great feedback already and really appreciate that.
I'm going to screencap it and throw it up on youtube later tonight, but it's now 11am and bed is calling. I'll likely release the next one with a video out the gate, but I was just too excited to not throw this one up as soon as I got the greets in.
Oh man, after watcher waveride, the constant rotation really messed with my mind for a few seconds there. totality awesome, great job. now release the hounds... i mean code
