'And a merry bloody xmas to you!' by disaster area

... made for the .au xmascompo 2002!


some system requirements:

a windoze with direct draw
a soundcard, and at least a 500mhz cpu (tried it on a 400, bit slow, but ok in low res)

not sure of the minimum speed you need to enjoy 'high res'...

we recommend using a 1223123ghz cpu. if you can find one, let us know where.

as usual, no time left to optimize (honest!)



some credits:

code & modelling by (null)
code & shitty graphics & music by ript.

not to mention:

the fmod sound library (http://www.fmod.org/)
UPX (http://upx.sourceforge.net/)



some facts:

it's pretty darn slow.

it looks a lot nicer in 'high res'.

you can run just the end part from the command-line, like so:

C:\Shite>aambx2u s

we originally wanted this demo to be themed 'inside a church', but something went wrong.
the fact that we don't really know what it's like inside one didn't help.

in case you couldn't tell, the ballthingo at the start is supposed to be one of those
baubles that people hang from their xmas trees.

the 'new york, new york' part in the first tune is a reference to Frank Sinatra, and not
terrorism.

the reference to 'satan' was, in fact, a 'vocal typo' of 'santa', and wasn't noticed until
it was too late to change.

yes, megaphoneman's hips and legs are completely fucked.

yes, the end part is supposed to be in low-res regardless of your choice at startup



blah:

we wish you a merry xmas, and we hope you stimulate your local economy by increasing your
retail expenditure.

if it's not too late, don't forget to vote in the competition!
