│ --──── Back to the Roots : Holy Writtings │
│ │
│ - Genesia │
│ │
│ " I will Harras with Misfortune those who try to set │
│ up a logo of themselves. But if Thy is MWB, I will │
│ make it implode with a Gouraud Mapping appearance." │
│ │
│ " Blessed are the Pixels that let the Shadding pass │
│ through them ; the Fury of The Lord may crush the │
│ ones that blink for the vainglorious purpose of │
│ drawing attention." │
│ │
│ - The Tale of the Journey 22:16 │
│ │
│ " And if a Quiche Eater wants to violate the VistaPro │
│ Valley, May the Lord turns him into a sheep and send │
│ a Dragon made of 1100 gouro mapped animated facets to │
│ burn his soul." │
│ │
│ " Vectors that rotate properly, without loosing their │
│ normals, are the ones that are ready for the garden │
│ of Eden. The others will divide overflow till the End │
│ of Eternity." │
│ │
│ " He doeth great wonders so that he can generate an │
│ infinite 16384^2 fractal landscape in realtime, while │
│ he maketh 20000 facets fall down from heaven onto the │
│ vistapro ground, covering the 10000 vertex with a │
│ chaste cloak of gouro mapping." │
│ │
│ - Morbid Ceremony 12:07 │
│ │
│ " Thee who profaned the Losts soul's last retreat, I │
│ will unleash all the Thunder of Hell and shed all │
│ the Flash of Lightning upon thee, and I will unchain │
│ all the Night Forces that will strike you in your │
│ back." │
│ │
│ " And if you find a way out of all these classical │
│ mystical enjoyments, I will send you into a universe │
│ with an inversed Z axis and were the 8200 facets │
│ (twice more if you consider the realtime casted │
│ shaddows) are not always sorted with respect to the │
│ common sense." │
│ │
│ " Know that it's the will of Rixed to makes a Piano │
│ hearable during the Graveyard Sequence. The sky shall │
│ fall upon thee and hammer thee down to Pandemonium, │
│ those who blame Ghost for this Tune." │
│ │
│ - Armageddon myths │
│ │
│ "The path of the vertous demo addict will be beaconed │
│ with donnuts. And you will know your Hedonist Quest │
│ is close at end when the Gargoyle will spat his Blood │
│ onto a Holy Graal." │
│ │
│ │
│ │
│ -───── All About It │
│ │
│ All didn't start as a demo. First were two routines, │
│ a vistapro-like voxel and a 3d shaddowed world. We │
│ decided to merge the two into a mystical │
│ little demo, added an introduction and an end, then │
│ release everything as a whole. The result is not a │
│ demo. I mean : the number of sequence is unusual for │
│ a demo (even for an intro), since the size of the │
│ file is still huge (due to the numerous 3d objects), │
│ the tune is not of those that one can listen to in a │
│ usual demo, the effects are not the ones that a demo │
│ addict expects theses days (PC's bitmap sux, vectors │
│ are our friends), and, worst of all, you won't be │
│ able to find a single donnut in it ! In a word, this │
│ demo is not really scene-related, but we are still │
│ proud of what we've done. │
│ │
│ About the technical requirements... Well, you │
│ already knew that you needed a GUS, but you were │
│ perhaps amazed when you discovered that your Dx2-66 │
│ was on his knees trying to run the demo. This demo │
│ was NOT coded for slow computers, but for pentiums │
│ (P166 the better, of course). Do not complain : our │
│ former megademo (Escape) failed to be a good one │
│ cause we paid too much attention to what an old 386 │
│ could handle. Thus, this time, we decided to forget │
│ all about technical restrictions. The algorithmes │
│ are optimised, it's not the matter. The code is │
│ somewhat ugly, but we ran out of time. │
│ │
│ Next time... Next demo from MWB is on its way yet. │
│ It should be very scene-related, should run on every │
│ pentiums (486 will be definitively out by that time) │
│ and should provide new effect and the likes. │
│ │
│ So... Kiss your arse before we Kick it ! │
