    │ For compatibility's sake, we included 3 versions of this demo.
    │ For the most part they're identical. Each version is just tweaked so
    │ that you don't have to look at a horribly stretched screen.
    │
    │ anamorphic16x9 - The 64k version for Widescreen monitors.
    │ Werkkzeug has the problem that the 64k files it  generates only support
    │ 4:3 resolutions and this one fixes the problem by having an image that
    │ displays a correct aspect ratio when stretched to 16:9.
    │
    │ letterbox4x3 - The 64k version for 4:3 monitors.
    │ Simply put, the widescreen image is shrunk to fit on a 4:3 screen.
    │
    │ safe - A version that's not 64k, but should work on all computers.
    │ Also, you can choose any aspect ratio and resolution in this one.
    │ It's significantly bigger, but it ensures that you'll be able to
    │ view this demo, since 64k doesn't work with all computers.
    │ Besides that, it's the same demo.

    │ Let me tell you... It was TOUGH for many reasons, but it still was fun.
    │ Personal problems, exported demo being bugged for cryptic reasons and
    │ of course... Lack of energy and/or motivation some days.
    │
    │ Tho yes... WE DID IT! Seriously, if it wasn't for ZanaGB's encouragement
    │ I'd probably give up after seeing how an effect I worked on for like 2
    │ or 3 hours straight breaking all sweats (I'm that kind of a person)
    │ and seriously... export for test... BLANK SCREEN. I debugged it with
    │ use of DirectX Explorer (gotta thank Matt Stentiford for this program!)
    │ and Trial'n'Error with operators. Well, was worth it in the end!
    │
    │ There's a bug that only appears in the 64k versions but... I don't know
    │ how to fix it and well... It still looks good enough for me soo.. :)
    │
    │ I hope you like this rather... different take. Yes, we know not everyone
    │ will like it, but it ain't about pleasing everyone, because that's just
    │ impossible, but it's about pleasing people with something nice to
    │ watch, at least in this case. So, enjoy the show! :)

    ┌──┤something serious├─────────────────────────────────────── ──── ─── ── ─
    │ (TomoAlien Speaking)
    │ This demo wouldn't be possible without ZanaGB's help. In fact, a lot of
    │ things I started working on and FINISHING (I often lost motivation) are
    │ thanks to her. She helps me get over my anxiety and gets me to actually
    │ do things. I can't say how grateful I am for that. I also do my best to
    │ morally support her, even though it's really hard. Too bad I don't have
    │ a job yet (I'm still studying) and therefore can't affort to support
    │ her financially, since she's being restricted from even getting a job
    │ by her abusive parents. So now... I'd be really, REALLY appreciative if
    │ you did what I wanted to do to her, and that is giving her some money
    │ so she'll be able to actually run away from the "home" she's in and
    │ get to live in an environment that's not hostile and dangerous.
    │ How dangerous is her environment? Well, for starters... being set on
    │ fire by her classmates during a school trip to Rome (saved herself
    │ by jumping into a nearby pool) and being harassed on a daily basis.
    │ And yes, those are two of less horrible things she endured through
    │ her lifetime. I know... You might be thinking I'm making this up...
    │ I wish I was making it up, since nobody should go through such things
    │ in their life. The worst part is that she is being terrorized by others
    │ with threat of everything being taken away from her if she does actually
    │ report this to authorities. Basically, she'd be left without any kind
    │ of shelter, contact, clothing and medication.
    │ Her parents are threatening to cut off her supplies if she doesn't
    │ do what they want her to do. For now... I can only think of donating
    │ money to her so she can get a shelter and such quite easily after
    │ things get really bad for her. Of course, legal advice and active forms
    │ of actually aiding her are also appreciated.
    │
    │ Thanks in advance, I appreciate that you read through this and took
    │ your time to read it. I'd be really glad if you could chip in for this
    │ cause, and I'm pretty sure she'd appreciate that too.
    │
    │ So... here's her PayPal address:
    │ tailsko-anita(at)SPAMSUCKSoutlook.com
    │
    │ Of course replace (at) with @, and remove SPAMSUCKS from the address.
    │ If you decided to donate, then I'm really appreciative, and a greeting
    │ will be assured for your support (unless you wanna be anonymous!).
    │ Of course, if you don't have money or just don't wanna donate, it would
    │ be welcome to support her in other ways since every good deed counts.
    │ For example legal advice, motivation, etc. to keep her emotionally
    │ afloat in this harsh environment, give her some moral support and
    │ say some advice regarding the matters described.
    │
    │ Thanks for attention and bothering to read this. :) I'm happy that
    │ you've cared enough to read through this! And well, see you and
    │ have a nice day, night or whatever time it is at where you at! Peace :)
