A Murder Of Scrolls by Andromeda [web]


   A murder of scrolls
   Interphace - Hyde - Archmage
   Andromeda
   GERP 2024


This demo was built around Interphace's stellar module
"Starfield Pheromone", which was composed on the piano
in 2019 and arranged in protracker in 2021 shortly
after the release of our demo "Rule 30". A makeover
of the "infinite scroller"-theme was made in 2023. The
module file is 32k on the byte.

The true demoscene classic "X-Large" by Spreadpoint
was an inspiration. It is all the things a demo should
be: Impressive, beautiful, and fun. Also, it is one of
the first demos to successfully implement suspense in
the presentation of effects and timing and cohesion
with the musical score.

Side note: Already past deadline, we submitted an
unpacked executable to the competition not knowing the
actual file size. After running it through  Cranker,
it turned out that this demo is actually a 40k intro.
So, what is it then?  We leave it for those meticulous
about categorization to decide.
