NEVER FORGET

Yesterday Mirage / Lars released one part he did on c64.
(that mountain animation was done by him, and the code ofcourse).

See it here: http://csdb.dk/release/?id=93278&show=review

Truly beautiful, just oozing with style. One of the best utilizations of the C64 palette I've ever seen. I really really enjoy the title design as well. Shame the project stopped...

I have to agree here 100%. Simply amazing.

I hate to be the party-pooper, but... The palettes are correct, but I think some of the animation would be impossible to achieve.

Uhm, this is just a "proof of concept", or rather, an animatic, where Sander is giving the artistic direction to the concept he created in an easy, edible form for the coders to know where they are going exactly without lots of trial and error. If you have a big picture like this where you can see how everything fits, it is much easier to lay out the routines. Sander is an excellent art director (should get a Scene.org award ). The actual implementation would of course be modified depending on restrictions of the hardware but the essence is to be kept.

Then again, "impossible to achieve" is something I wouldn't dare say around the C64 demo scene.

Np, good point - i heard that before. But i had this storyboard signed off by the programmers - they were able to do it, some minor adaptions here and there ofcourse. And yes - they are quite good
