┌──┤what file to run├──────────────────────────────────────── ──── ─── ── ─
│ 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 :)
