IT'S ME OPTIMUS ;) AND THIS IS THE NOTER OF MY FIRST DEMO LIVETRO BY ANUBIS ----------------- I AM PREETY HAPPY FOR FINALLY RELEASINGTHIS, FOR IT'S MY 1ST EVER ON THIS PLATFORM. I WAS OBSESSED WITH THE C64 DEMOS, SINCE A LONG TIME, PERHAPS I ALWAYS WISHED TO TRY GETTING INVOLVED IN THE C64 SCENE, IT'S JUST THAT I LATELY CATCHED UP TO MAKE MY DREAM A REALITY. I STARTED LEARNING ALONE DURING FEBRUARY, LATER I JOINED ANUBIS AND SO, ME AND FACTOR6 MADE SOME PLANS FOR A SIMPLE DEMO. JUST TO SHOW UP THAT ANUBIS IS ALIVE. IT WAS A COOL START FOR ME, G - *C64-SPACE, F1-F7* HALLO FREAKS!!!

I WAS OBSESSED WITH THE C64 DEMOS, SINCE A LONG TIME, PERHAPS I ALWAYS WISHED TO TRY GETTING INVOLVED IN THE C64 SCENE, IT'S JUST THAT I LATELY CATCHED UP TO MAKE MY DREAM A REALITY. I STARTED LEARNING ALONE DURING FEBRUARY, LATER I JOINED ANUBIS AND SO, ME AND FACTOR6 MADE SOME PLANS FOR A SIMPLE DEMO. JUST TO SHOW UP THAT ANUBIS IS ALIVE. IT WAS A COOL START FOR ME, GETTING TO LEARN SOME BASIC 6510/VIC CODING (MY PAST IS Z80 AND A BIT OF X86), TOTALLY AMAZED HOW EASY IT IS TO PROGRAMM SOME THINGS ON THE C64 (LIKE THIS PLAIN SIMPLE NOTER, WHICH I CODED JUST FOR FUN IN TWO EVENINGS). ONLY THE DEADLINE WAS A BIT OF STRUGGLE FOR ME, DURING THE LAST 2 WEEKS I WAS WORKING HARDER TO CATCHUP FOR THE PRIMARY STAR DEMO COMPO, SO THERE ARE SOME THINGS IN MY DEMO THAT I WOULD LIKE TO IMPROVE OR CHANGE BUT I LEFT THEM AS THEY ARE. FOR MY NEXT DEMO, I WOULD LIKE TO AVOID DEADLINES AND GIVE ME PLENTY OF TIME.. BECAUSE I'D LIKE TO FINISH THIS FAST, I THINK I WILL JUST GIVE THE CREDITS AND FEW WORDS ABOUT THE PARTS. === THE INTRO === - CODE : OPTIMUS - SPRITES : FROM TURRICAN 2 - MUSIC : FACTOR6 ORIGINALLY FACTOR6'S IDEA, I STARTED CODING SPRITES, MUCH LESS ACTION THAT WHAT YOU SEE NOW, I HAD CODED THE SPACESHIP TAKING THE BONUS, BUT JUST THIS. SO, I DECIDED TO EXTEND IT ONEDAY WITH SOME MORE SPRITES AND AN R-TYPE LIKE BLAST :) === THE MAINTRO === - CODE : OPTIMUS - LOGO : FILIPON - FONTS : FACTOR6 - MUSIC : FACTOR6 I HAD CODED THIS DYCP SCROLLER, BACK IN GERMANY, JUST BEFORE GOING TO BREAKPOINT AND MEETING EXILE. FULL OF BUGS HOWEVER (WHICH I AM GLAD I FOUND OUT) AND A MESSY CODE I DON'T DARE TO TOUCH ANYMORE :P I KNOW THAT THE SCROLLING WHITE STUFF DOWN THE SCREEN MIGHT BE UGLY, BUT I JUST DIDN'T HAD MUCH TIME LEFT TO MAKE SOMETHING ELSE AND SO I DECIDED TO RELEASE IT AS IT IS. YOU CAN SWITCH BETWEEN TWO SCROLLING SPEED WITH THE JOYSTICK. GREETINGS ARE ON THE SCROLLTEXT. - CREDITS FOR THIS NOTER - - CODE : OPTIMUS - FONTS : FACTOR6 - MUSIC : FACTOR6 CAN'T WAIT TO GET RID OF THIS. I'D LOVE TO READ YOU COMMENTS ABOUT THIS DEMO THROUGH SCENE WEBSITES, DISKMAGS OR PERSONAL EMAIL. I HOPE I WILL TAKE MORETIME TO CODE SOMETHING BETTER NEXT TIME. GOTTA LEAVE YOU NOW..
