| | Suddenly presented at
\_| SATURNE PARTY'96! Le miracle arriva! ;-)
1. What happened?
-----------------
Evelred and me (BladeRunner) travelled to the Saturne party taking no
production with. Evelred had a tune that he wanted to present at the module
compo, but the group hadn't anything to bring with. Only an unfinished demo
that with the little time to go from school to the bus station that I had, was
left in Spain.
Until the next day of starting our trip, we didn't meet each other in
Chelles (I went in bus, while the VIP's arrived on a plane to Paris in around
18 hours less than me :D). At the party. during the first day we didn't saw
many people finishing productions, so we though that it would be cool to
present the group's unfinished demo to the compo. Just one problem... we had
left it in Spain. We were looking for a SysOp in Paris that would be able to
help us, but as we found one that could had help us it was too late to start
making calls... so, it's a pitty we though.
But at the evening the miracle happened. I was recording what groups had
come to the party and I saw that TFL-TDV were here. A member of my group had
a good friendship with Magic Fred / TFL-TDV, and it was possible that he had
sent him a preview of the demo. So it was. I called Mikel / Iguana / TLOTB to
tell him that we would present the demo in the compo and that he should call
the other members asking for permission. I don't think it will be any problem
with it, so I think we're going to present it at the compo. :)
So I asked Magic Fred for copy it to me, and now we'll participate in the
compo. :)
2. Who we are?
--------------
We are a Spanish group. :)
We are a Spanish demo group. ;-)
I'm too sleepy to write now down the whole story of how TLOTB. We were
formed 2 years ago, but we've started to do real serious things for about 6
months ago, and this is one of this things. But you have to think that it is
still unfinished, that this is still just a beta version. And really I don't
know if we'll finish it someday. :)
3. Some technical info
----------------------
The demo was developed during a month of work of some members of TLOTB.
The whole code was done by FOG, except the sound code, that was taking from
I don't know where (I think that is made by an american, but I don't know it
for sure). We've our own soundsystem, but due the lack of time FOG had to use
other people system.
If not all the objects, many of them are taken from 3D objects libraries
and the background gfx are made by the coder and other no graphic specialised
members. The graphic of the fish is made by one cool guy it doesn't is of our
group, but as we asked him for a graphic had no problem to let it to us. :)
I really don't know anything more about the demo :) But you can email the
coder asking him for more information. :)))
Please note that this was just a preview of the demo, it isn't finished yet
and it's not bugfree and it hasn't cool graphics. :(
4. Actual memberlist of TLOTB
-----------------------------
I haven't taken the whole official list of members, so the order of joining
it's for sure erroneus, and I hope that I have written down all the members,
because if not, I'll be killed down by the ones that I left. ;-))
