====================================================================== M Y T H W E A V E R TRIUMPH An Amiga OCS demo ====================================================================== Release date: [2026-09-29] An ancient myth. A distant future. One Amiga floppy. Following Rasterfable, Triumph's journey continues among the stars. Mythweaver revisits Ulysses and Circe through footage from Ulysses 31, reauthored shot by shot for the Amiga. Stay for the credits: our spider has a few words to climb. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CREDITS ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ALFADRON Design and code Film reauthoring Intro and loader fonts Spider animation Warhead remix HACKSAW Intro logo COBOLT Background art Outro font Music: Tivoli (intro and outro) XERXES Music: Give It a Try (loader and outro) MICHAEL POWELL Original music from the game Warhead FRANK WILLE ptplayer 6.4 Original film material: Ulysses 31, the story of Ulysses and Circe. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- THE DEMO ---------------------------------------------------------------------- A complete journey on one 880 KiB disk: opening logo and scroller, a 23-scene film sequence, and scrolling credits with an animated spider that walks, climbs and swings between the actual letters. The film combines planar artwork, filled vector cels, static depth layers, hardware sprites, camera tracks and Copper zoom. Intro and film music use compressed sample data to fit the disk. The outro combines two playfields, a Copper colour gradient and sprites. The credits scroll once, then the music playlist continues. After returning to the moon, the spider moves gently to the music. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MUSIC COMPRESSION ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Current floppy edition, compared with reconstructed full-size MODs: Track MOD bytes Packed bytes Reduction Ratio Tivoli 66,160 9,939 85.0% 6.66:1 Warhead 287,572 51,542 82.1% 5.58:1 Combined 353,732 61,481 82.6% 5.75:1 These figures cover the packed music payloads. Warhead's payload includes its decoder and relocation table. Together they occupy 61,952 bytes after disk-sector padding; shared player code is extra. Lossy sample compression is combined with lossless packing. The notes and arrangement are retained. Give It a Try does not use lossy sample compression and is not included in these figures. The compressed Tivoli and Warhead modules sound best with the Amiga 500 audio filter. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- DOWNLOADS AND VIDEO ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Floppy / ADF: https://kirkhaug.net/demo/amiga/Triumph_Mythweaver.adf WHDLoad: https://kirkhaug.net/demo/amiga/Triumph_Mythweaver_WHDLoad.lha Video: https://rumble.com/v7g50zy-mythweaver-by-triumph-amiga-ocsecs-demo-2026.html Web emulator: https://kirkhaug.net/demo/amiga/pwa/Mythweaver ---------------------------------------------------------------------- FLOPPY / ADF EDITION ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Platform: Amiga OCS/ECS, PAL CPU: Motorola 68000 or compatible Base target: A500 with 512 KiB Chip + 512 KiB Slow RAM Disk: One bootable 880 KiB Amiga floppy / ADF ---------------------------------------------------------------------- https://triumph.no/ THANKS FOR WATCHING UNTIL THE NEXT MYTH IS WOVEN ======================================================================
