         NIKAD

Requirements:

	PLEASE SET YOUR MONITOR TO 640x480. ALTHOUGH THE DEMO HAS BEEN MADE TO WORK AT OTHER RESOLUTIONS, IT WAS NOT TESTED AT ANYTHING BUT 640x480.

ALSO, NIKAD CANNOT work from read-only volume, becuase of cruncher temp files.

	•  PowerPC, 601/66 minimum
	•  10 Megs of free RAM (if you don't have it, try turning Virtual Memory ON)
			This is MINIMUM , don't try to decrease the Minimum partition size
	•  At least 4 Megs of free hard drive space
	•  QuickTime 2.x or higher (picture decompacting), SoundManager 3.x (for PPro,etc.)
	•  640x480 with 16-bit color (thousands of colors mode)


	• If possible, choose 67 Hz monitor frequency.

Ok, sorry to be so rude, but it is really important to follow the instructions carefully.

Now..
Who are we?

My brother, Frane Saric (a.k.a Brain/Galactic Dreams Software) is 15 years old.
He did all the 3D-code + bump-mapper and zoomer. He also did most of the
3D modelling. I think he's one of the best 3D coders for Mac (and he's only 15).

I, Marin Saric (!ZAJC!/GDS) am 16. I did the voxelspace (that landscape on the beginning), roto-zoomers, faders, scrollers, 3D file formats (ZAJC ƒanatik binary),
demo design, 2D gfx, low-level stuff, etc.

We are both from Zagreb,  Croatia. Croatia is a beautiful country, as you can see from the picture of the Dubrovnik at the end of the demo (spoiler, spoiler :) )

I asked Nikola Fox (Juice/Phase Distortion) to make music for our megademo. He kindly made no requests and did the whole music for Nikad. The song is called "Azazelitis". We are very grateful for that. Nikola is also from Croatia.

Why?

We made this megademo because it was our opportunity to demonstrate our programming skills (in other words, to show off :) ) and also to make the first real powermac megademo.

BTW, NIKAD means "never" on Croatian.

It took us approximately 7 months to complete the demo.
