It has been a long time since my last release (sorry about that) because I
haven't had the time to assemble routines into an intro/demo and I missed
some party's because of an assignment abroad. 
Anyway ... I'm back and I hope you've enjoyed watching 'NAMELESS'.

Info about 'NAMELESS'-the third one man project.
════════════════════════════════════════════════

'NAMELESS' is a 100% assembler program.
It requires a 386+ processor and only about 370Kb of free base memory.
If you have a soundcard that supports Adlib you should be able to listen to
some tunes.
'NAMELESS' doesn't like to be started from Norton Commander :(

The name is ofcourse stupid and was meant as a test-name for the morf-routines
since I didn't know an original name at the time. Later on I decided this was 
an original name so I thought 'What the hell ...' and just left it that way.

All tunes were composed using HSC-tracker (as usual) and replayed using the 
HSC-player by Chicken and Zwerg Zwack. So thanks again guys ....

tune1: This tune comes from T.H.Express and is called '(I'm) on your side' ... 
       thanks to Farina/Crivellente for making great music !!

tune2: A little of dr.Alban and a little of Brian Ice ...

tune3: Finally one made totally out of my own imagination ...

The different intro-parts are glued together using ResLib v3.0 (Resource
Manager) by Phalanger/Agony. I don't think I could have done it without 
ResLib so a million thanks fly out to you !!

the parts:
══════════

Shaded 3D world - I created this 3D-shade engine just a few weeks before the
                  competition so that's why the world you're flying trough is
                  not so advanced (yet).

Dot-O-mania     - As you might know the objects are imported straight from
                  3D-studio, and even if these dot-routines are not so
                  difficult to program I don't think I've ever seen this
                  gouraud-use in any intro/demo yet (correct me if I'm wrong).

Plasma          - Is it Lame to use a plasma in an intro ???
                  If so I would have called the intro 'LAMENESS' :)
                  But I think it's nice to morf plasma's .....

Gouraud etc.    - I decided it was time to show some of the gouraud stuff I
                  made a long time ago (even before everybody claimed to
                  make it) because if you don't release some of your routines
                  they always loose their originality. I think the translucent
                  vectors are new though (right?).

Blue-Rain       - This effect is taken from a Bizarre intro (by Supreme). Only
                  this time I let the water drop off the screen at the start
                  which was the most difficult part of the whole routine.
                  Try it if you don't believe me ;)


OK, that's about all the info on the intro .... now here come the greets ....

If you have received the party-package of 'NAMELESS' the ranking of the intro
will (of course) not be filled in yet ..... At this moment (a few days before 
the competition) I can only hope that at the party people won't just vote for 
their friends but for quality. Afterall ... it's only painfull to loose if 
the winner delivers a bad product (like at Wired'94).

LaSerDance out .........
