│ (ZanaGB Speaking)
│ If you, or someone you know needs some cute artwork done, for cover
│ arts, posters, mugshots, and the like, please consider taking a look at
│ my dA gallery @ http://zanagb.deviantart.com/ to see if anything catches
│ your interest. I am basically always open for commissions, and, honestly
│ I need to get some income myself. (also I guess this will help me be
│ a tad more visible out there). If you are further interested, you can
│ contact me at Tailsko-Anita@outlook.com

│ (TomoAlien Speaking)
│ This one was designed mostly by ZanaGB. It took quite a long time to
│ put together, mainly because ZanaGB was busy with other things, such as
│ commisions.
│
│ She wanted to make a Sega Mega Drive demo, but since I can't code 68k,
│ we had to go with a different route... faux retro, or retraux.
│
│ With some RT trickery, I managed to make a 320x240 renderer with 512
│ color limit. Yes, no shaders were used to do this and the dither.
│
│ This demo took 4 months to make and clogged my C: partition with backup
│ files of this demo, so I cleaned those out. I was backing the demo up
│ myself, and only used the autobackups once.
│
│ Truth be said, one of the months was spent doing nothing. Well, shucks!
│
│ Anyways, I hope you'll enjoy this demo as much as we enjoyed making it!
│
│ And remember: In Bun We Trust!
│
│ (ZanaGB Speaking)
│ Here are some fun facts about the development of Faux Processing:
│
│ - Before "DZTRT" was done, after talking about what we should do next.
│ we ended up planning most of the demo. In fact. 2 scenes were already
│ made for the then unnamed demo. One of which would be used as a
│ placehholder during the entirety of the demo. I miss the BunCube now.
│
│ - In case you are reading this before opening the file, this demo is a
│ Love / Fuck-You letter to many of the things I adore and used to be
│ trying to work on. As such it's a bit different in comparision to all
│ of our previously released demos. I think that's a good thing.
│
│ - That is also the point. Tom has his particular, quirky style and many
│ people seems to forget that I am on the backstage; looking for things
│ that aren't looking alright, providing suggestions, testing the demos
│ in different crappy hardware, and so on.
│
│ With me taking basically full control over this production, we intend
│ to let everyone know that, indeed, we are two people working on these
│ things. To top it off, our styles vary significantly. So it also helps
│ keep things fresh. I honestly hope this is a welcomed change.
│
│ - This demo was originally scheduled for the 2nd week of August, but it
│ ended up being finished on October 10, as a result of that I spent a
│ lot of the time either doing commissioned art for others, or fighting
│ to get my depressed ass back on track. Tom also had a few weak days
│ ( we all do ), but at the end, I am the only one responsible for being
│ so late. On the bright side of things, now we get the chance to finally
│ submit this demo on DemoSplash 2015. So it worked out after all.
│
│ - Another fun fact is the music. JRedd kindly let us use one of his songs
│ ( ucollective.org/audio/Jredd/limitless+sega+genesis/ ) on our demo. so
│ we tried to take the most of it. However, the original track was 4:26
│ so i mastered it again ant trimmed it down to 2:36 ( The volume was
│ kinda funky on the source so i fixed that too ). Tom removed some
│ potentially headache inducing frequencies later on, too.
│
│ Funnily enough, Tom originally thought that making a sub 3 minute demo
│ would be too short. Back when I made the trim I already planned most
│ of the scenes to fit within that time, but the dubstep part was still
│ missing. So, in retrospective, I feel like I did the right thing on
│ trimming two minutes off the original song.
│
│ - After an argument with a certain cowardly buffoon, I made up a
│ challenge for him, which was successfully accepted.
│
│ Now I'm doing my part, as promised.
