           :            over five years. Yes, it's been far far :
           :            too long. Hopefully the next one will   :
           :            not take that long. The demo was mainly :
           :            made during July 2006, after resting a  :
           :            bit from the Outline releases (invit    :
           :            and 96k).                               :

           :            We had many more ideas which has been   :
           :            put aside due to deadline reasons, yes  :
           :            isn't that the thing every damn time?   :
           :            Some of the screens have material photo-:

           :            bit since then. Although a bit scary    :
           :            to enter, it had a great impact and     :
           :            helped doing a few of the screens.      :

           :            clean feeling. Where the second part    :
           :            has mentally gone right to hell. It was :
           :            harder to illustrate than expected.     :

           :            On a technical note, this demo is using :

           :            which features certain things we havn't :

           :            engine should be easy to port to other  :
