AND HERE IT SHALL END, SO LET'S HAVE THE CREDITS AGAIN: CODE BY TOUCHSTONE AND ROMAN, GFX BY GROO*RUFFERTO, MUSIC BY DASCON AND WOTW. GOTT ZUM GRUSSE IHR KRIECHER - GROO AND RUFFERTO ONLINE TO SAY SOME VERY IMPORTANT THINGS. THE SUBJECT IS SOME STRANGE RUMOURS ABOUT US AND ESPECIALLY ABOUT OUR PICTURE, WHICH WON THE THIRD PRIZE AT THE PARTY 2. SEVERAL PEOPLE CLAIMED, THAT THEY HAD DISCOVERED SO CALLED "DIGITIZER BUGS" IN THE PICTURE AND SO THEY ACCUSED US OF HAVING SCANNED IT. BUT THESE BUGS WERE NOT CAUSED BY ANY SCANNER, BUT BY LACK OF TIME TO FINISH THE PIC BEFORE THE DEADLINE. FOR EXAMPLE WE EVEN HAD TO USE THE SPRAY FUNCTION TO DO SOME PARTS INSTEAD OF TIME RIPPING DITHERING BY HAND. SO YOU SEE THAT WE JUST HAD NO TIME TO CARE WHETHER EVERY PIXEL GOT ITS RIGHT POSITION OR NOT, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE THAT'S NOT THE WAY TO WIN A COMPETITION. IN A COMPO JUST THE FIRST IMPRESSION OF A PICTURE COUNTS, NOTHING ELSE! AND AS THE MOTIVE OF THE PIC IS REALLY AMAZING 'AS MOST PEOPLE SAY', IT GOT HIGHLY RANKED! YOU HAVE TO KNOW, THAT WE ARE NOT ANY PROUD OF THIS PIECE, BECAUSE THE QUALITY IS DAMN LOW, BUT AS WE SAID, THE MOTIVE AND ESPECIALLY THE INTERLACE 64 COL MODE RAISES THE STANDARD. FURTHERMORE IT SEEMS, THAT CERTAIN PEOPLE WERE TOO STUPID TO UNDERSTAND SOME TECHNIQUES WHICH ARE USED 'HEY MOUNT! WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU HAVE GOT A GREEN AND A RED PALETTE, BUT YOU ALSO NEED A MIX PALETTE BETWEEN GREEN AND RED FOR SOME PARTS? THOUGH WE ARE CLEVER, WE USED BOTH THE GREEN AND THE RED PALETTE FOR THESE PARTS. TOO HARD TO UNDERSTAND FOR YOU, EH?'. WELL, WE ALSO THINK THAT NONE OF THESE RUMOURS WOULD HAVE BEEN SPREAD IF THE PICTURE WAS DONE BY A FAMOUS GRAPHIST. PROBABLY 99 PERCENT OF YOU HADN'T EVER HEARD ANYTHING OF US AT THAT TIME AND SO SOME PEOPLE WERE UNABLE TO ACCEPT, THAT TWO SO CALLED 'NEWCOMERS' GET SUCH A HIGH RANK AT THE BIGGEST PARTY EVER. HOPEFULLY THIS DEMO MADE YOU DISCOVER, THAT WE ARE NOT TWO LAME BASTARDS WHO QUICKLY SCANNED A PICTURE IN ORDER TO MAKE SOME MONEY 'DIE SCHNELLE MARK'. WE REALLY DON'T WANT TO PRAISE OURSELVES, BUT ONE COULD SAY, THAT THE GFX IN THIS DEMO HAVE QUITE A GOOD STANDARD AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT NOBODY CAN DENY. SO YOU COULD ASK YOURSELVES, IF IT IS NECESSARY FOR US TO SCAN OUR PICTURES IN ORDER TO TAKE PART IN A COMPETITION. A SPECIAL MESSAGE IS HEREBY GOING TO MOUNT OF PARASITE: YOU CAN SUCK OUR MOTHERFOCKEN DICKS! PROBABLY YOU THINK WINNING A RIDICULOUS EUROCHART GFX COMPO IS A REASON FOR YOU TO GET BIGMOUTHED AND STARTING TO CONSIDER YOURSELF AS THE BEST GUY IN THE WORLD, WHO MAY PULL OTHER PEOPLE THROUGH THE DIRT WITH HIS SPECULATIONS. WHAT ABOUT TELLING YOUR LAME RUMOURS TO YOUR MOMMY NEXT TIME? PROBABLY SHE WILL GIVE YOU A LOLLY, BUT RAW DOESN'T! MAYBE JUST ONE MORE SENTENCE ABOUT THIS SUBJECT... A GERMAN GRAPHIST ALSO THOUGHT TO BE SURE, THAT THE PICTURE IS SCANNED AND HE TOLD US ABOUT HIS OWN METHOD HOW TO PROOF, THAT SOMETHING IS SCANNED. HE TRIED HARD, BUT LATER HE HAD TO ADMIT, THAT HE WAS UNABLE TO PROOF IT ON OUR PICTURE, SO THINK ABOUT IT... ENOUGH! MAYBE YOU ARE INTERESTED IN SOME MORE DETAILED CREDITS CONCERNING MUSIC AND ROUTINES: THE MAIN PART MUSIC WAS ARRANGED BY WOTW! THIS TUNE MADE BY DASCON! AND THE MUSIC DURING THE TITLE SEQUENCE IS A COOPERATION BETWEEN BOTH GUYS! ABOUT THE CODE...
