Forever Dreaming by Acme & quad [web]
The Story:
~~~~~~~~~~
The production of this demo started on the 25th of december 1997 with
me (aap/acme) crying out for help with doing a demo on #NLcoders.
With those friendly Quad people responding to Aap's distress call things got
rolling, pictures were drawn, music was selected and a 'design' was put out
on the email to Sagacity/Quad the following morning around 10:00.
First response came in at 21:30 on friday the 26th, a beta version of the
final product was delivered via email.
The rest of the evening and night was spent tweaking the textures
and finalizing design.
Emailed everything on saturday morning 9:50 to Sagacity/Quad, who had to work
at this time.
Sarix/Quad kicked in and things are blurry after that.
Second response arrived saturday evening around 20:30 in the form of a final
beta version for tweaking which was concluded around 0:30 that night.
Writing of this textfile took another year off my life, but was concluded
around 1:00 am the 28th of december 1997.
Task at hand: getting the demo in time for deadlines in denmark for TheParty97
Did we succeed? read all about it at a #Pixel or #NLcoders channel near you.
