Swinging in 2007 by Civitas
- - =:8530.+)'%" ^/ZXVUSQPNMKJIHGFEDCBBAA - HI THERE ... THIS IS RICHARD/THE NEW DIMENSION AND NOW JOINED CIVITAS HERE AND PROUD TO PRESENT TO YOU -SWINGING IN 2007-, A NEW DEMO BROUGHT TO YOU COURTESEY WITH CIVITAS ... YES RICHARD HAS REJOINED CIVITAS, ONE OF MY FIRST EVER GROUPS THAT I JOINED WAY BACK IN 2001 ... AFTER A SOLO BREAK I JUST HAD TO REJOIN CIVITAS BECAUSE THE PEOPLE THERE WERE PROBABLY MISSING ME, AND I REALISE HOW MUCH I MISS THOSE PEOPLE TOO, ESPECIALLY MY GOOD BUDDY G.FELLOW ... WHILE I AM TAPPING AWAY ON THIS KEYBOARD, I'M LISTENING TO THE INDEPENDENT GOD LONG VERSION BY G.FELLOW AND BIONIC HANDS, A TUNE WHICH WAS COMPOSED WAY BACK IN 1991, BUT RELEASED IN 2006 ... WHAT A HELL OF A LONG WAIT TO HEAR A TUNE LIKE THIS ... ANYWAY, HERE ARE THE CREDITS FOR THIS DEMO ... PROGRAMMING (OR SHOULD I HAVE SAID CODE) WAS DONE BY RICHARD BAYLISS IN DASM CROSS ASSEMBLER ... THE 2X2 CHARSET WAS ALSO PIXELLED BY RICHARD BAYLISS ... THE LOGO WAS DRAWN BY ZEITGEIST/CIVITAS (I THINK, BUT I COULD BE INCORRECT) ... THE BITMAP PICTURE (UNDERNEATH THE SWINGING LOGO) WAS PIXELLED BY ZEITGEIST, ORIGINALLY ON A PC, BUT WAS CONVERTED INTO A BITMAP BY USING THE GANGED TOOL ... THE MUSIC, WHICH YOU HEAR WAS ARRANGED AND COMPOSED BY A GOOD NEW FRIEND OF MINE, KNOWN AS CRD/SAMAR! (THANKS OWEN) ... BEFORE I TYPE IN SOME MORE TEXT AND THEN SEND OUT THE GREETINGS, I SHALL PASS THE KEYS RIGHT OVER TO CRD/SAMAR TO KEEP YOU SCROLL FANS HAPPY. HEY THERE DEMOFREAKS! CRD/SAMAR ON THE KEYS... RICHARD ALLOWED ME TO ADD SOME TEXT TO THIS DEMO AS A THANKS FOR APPLYING SOME MUSIC. WELL, FIRST I JUST WANNA APOLOGISE FOR NOT BEING AT THIS AWESOME PARTY, BUT U KNOW HOW IT IS FOR A GUY HARD AT WORK NOWADAYS! SECONDLY, I HAVE SENT 2 TUNES FOR THIS MUSIC COMPO, SO I'M REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO THE RESULTS. I MAY AS WELL SEND OUT A FEW GREETINGS... HELLO TO: RICHARD/TND, RAMOS/SAMAR, RAF/VULTURE DESIGN, DEEV/ONSLAUGHT, NE7/TRIAD, RAMBONES, JEFF/VIRUZ, LINUS/TRIAD, KNOEKI/DSS, STEPPE/HVSC, COSINE (AND COWSINE ... CREST, OXYRON, BOOZE DESIGN, NOSTALGIA, INSTINCT, DRAX/MON, LAXITY, JEROEN TEL, CREAMD, AND MANY MANY MORE OUT THERE!... WELL, I'M NOT TOO SURE HOW MUCH MEMORY IS LEFT FOR THIS DEMO, SO I THINK I'LL WRAP HERE! LATER GUYZ! AND STAY TUNED ON RELEASES BY ME SOMETIME IN THE FUTURE! ... ...CRD SIGNING OFF... WELL HELLO AGAIN ... RICHARD IS BACK ON THE KEYS AGAIN, WITH SOME MORE SCROLL TEXT ... WELL, WHAT YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED IS THAT THIS DEMO LOOKS SORT OF RUSHED AND THERE MAY BE THE ODD GLITCH OR SO IN THE DEMO CODE ... I WASN'T BEING LAZY ... MAIN THING WAS THAT I WAS WAITING FOR A PICTURE TO FIT THE MIDDLE OF THE SCREEN, AS IT LOOKED TOO PLAIN WITHOUT SOMETHING IN THE MIDDLE ... I CONTACTED A COUPLE OF C64 SCENERS WHO ORIGINALLY WERE MEMBERS OF CIVITAS, REGARDING PIXELLING GRAPHICS FOR THE MIDDLE OF THE SCREEN, BUT I WAS DISAPPOINTED THAT I HAD NO RESPONSE, EXCEPT FOR ZEITGEIST WHO RESPONDED TO ME THAT DUE TO SHORT SPARE TIME, HE WAS ONLY ABLE TO PIXEL A HIRES PICTURE, RATHER THAN A MULTICOLOUR PIC, AS TIME WAS INDEED SHORT! ESPECIALLY BEING THAT TODAY IS 21ST FEBRUARY 2007 AND I JUST HAD TO RUSH TO GET THIS FINISHED AND RELEASED IN TIME FOR THE OXYRON 15 YEAR PARTY WHICH EMAIL DEADLINES IS TOMORROW ... SO I AM SORRY IF THERE ARE ANY SMALL GLITCHES IN THE DEMO ITSELF ... OK, THEN I HAVE SPOKEN ENOUGH, IT IS NOW TIME FOR ME TO SEND OUT THE C64 GREETS IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER TO THE FOLLOWING: ALLAN B., MERMAN/SEUCKVAULT, ALIFEINHELL/GAMEOVER(VIEW) TEAM, ST0RMFR0NT/EXCESS (I LIKED THAT EXCESS DEMO RELEASED BEFORE CHRISTMAS 2006), JSL/COVENANT, HONESTY/COVENANT, TWR/CRYPT, NADIRA/CHRONIC (HEY, ANY MORE GAMES IN THE WORKS, CAN I SUPPLY MUSIC FOR THEM?), FRANK GASKING, CRONOSOFT, TROUBLEMAKER/CRYPT, MERMAID/COSINE (IS COWSINE A FAKE LABEL :O) ), LORDNIKON, THE OVERKILLER/HOKUTO FORCE, IAN COOG/PAPPOSOFT, ROBERTO/PAPPOSOFT (I LOVE QGAME), ZEITGEIST/CIVITAS (THANKS FOR THE PIC), CREAMD/C64.SK, THE W...ING RABBIT/CRAP'D (THANKS FOR YOUR HELP, REGARDING BOMB CHASE REVIVAL) ...
