Volume four - Spring 1996
Distributed with the Preview demo "Window to Oblivion"

º Opening words... º
ÈÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍͼ
Craw productions is a Canadian software duo from Ottawa, composed of
LakEEE and PsychoMan. We are big fans and supporters of computer graphical
and tracked musical demonstrations all over the world, and have made a few
ourselves. In essence, one can call us a demo group, although we do dabble
in game and utility coding.
Both LakEEE and PsychoMan were part of the demo group called
"Axidental" back in 1994, but that is no more. The other members of the old
group have gone separate ways, whether on or off the demo scene, and these
people are: Cyclone, Biocide, Mental Floss and Dark Spy. Our only production
with these four was "The Accident", which competed at ASM '94.

º Window to Oblivion º
ÈÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍͼ
Here's our second ever preview demo release, and this time it shows
snapshots of our soon-to-be NAID '96 demo contender, Infinity. The purpose
of this advertissement is to simply raise hype and "commotion" about Craw
Productions' next demo at NAID... Hopefully it has increased your appetite
for more. :) The snapshot graphics are of an early prototype of the actual
demo, so the final release may look different, and hopefully better!

º Group statistics º
ÈÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍͼ
Our group is made up of only two people, and it will probably stay
that way for a while. Both are from Canada, their native country, although
we do have family ties elsewhere...
-Kenji Toyooka, "LakEEE" - (Born in 1976)
is one of the main coders of Craw, as well as its only
musician and graphics artist.
-Michael Anttila, "PsychoMan" - (Born in 1976)
is the other coder and handles most of the very low
level assembly code and sound playing routines.

º Our productions º
ÈÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍͼ
So far we have released only three productions, but indeed we are
planning a lot more. The list includes demos, intros, utilities and games,
either freeware or shareware.
Mar 1995 "Optica" - Advertisement for Opticron
Apr 1995 "Opticron" - Our first demo (6.5 minutes)
Jul 1995 "Vortex" - A dual music disk by LakEEE (16 songs)
Feb 1996 "Eternal Gardens" - Another music disk by LakEEE (9 songs)
May 1996 "Window to Oblivion" - Preview demo for Infinity (1.5 minutes)
Upcoming "Introspectator" - Yet another music disk by LakEEE (5 songs)
This will be released together with Window to Oblivion.
"Infinity" - Our demo for Naid 1996. Once again, true to
our group ideals, this production has a strong
theme and highly synchronized music.
"CrawDraw" - An MCGA motivated graphics drawing program
with many practical, efficient options and an
extensive "shape grabbing" interface with special
effects.
"CrawDir" - A fast and useful directory program that
has sorting, searching and viewing options.
"Dreaming" - A shareware game; a horizontal shoot 'em
up with a unique weapons system and fantastic enemies
accompanied by 8 channel music and 4 channel sound
effects. Seven levels in total.
"PsychoPlayer" - Our S3M / MOD music file player with
file menu options and a playlist ability.
"Release Me" - A new demo which bases itself around a
robot and its existence. Lots of plot and storyline
involved.
"CrawWorlds" - New 3D system that will feature many effects
ideal for movies and presentations, this nice utility
may become shareware...
