--────    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 !
