Hamazing by Desire
------------------
Slightly enhanced post-party 105% version
An Amiga OCS trackmo for the low end demo competition at
68K Inside Party
held at
Hämeenlinna, Finland
5th to 7th May 2023.
It was about time to create a bigger production after all
those little intros. That was fun, too, but you can't do
fancy HAM effects in 64 KB intros. So here you have the
successor to HAM Eager, but this time, real musicians and
graphic artists have been involved!
The project started after GERP 2023 in January, but of
course, the deadline for the party came quicker than
expected. Some details didn't make it into the demo, and
even some planned effects had to be postponed for the
next feature.
We hope you enjoy it, it was again very much fun to work
together as your favourite ocs threesome.
Also, I hope psenough has had a laugh, too, after I took
a short speech sample from one of his demoscene YT videos
(the Revision Amiga Demo hype one). His videos are much
appreciated and you should watch them, if you don't know
them.
Requirements
~~~~~~~~~~~~
MC68000, OCS, 512 KB Chip, 512 KB Slow.
Higher Kickstart versions than 1.3 might need extra RAM
(if you're getting a red screen, that's why)! Disable
external drives and harddisks if you only have 1 MB.
HD-Version
~~~~~~~~~~
The harddisk installable version requires 469 KB of
continuous chipmem available, so a 512 KB chip system will
usually not work. It also requires roughly 1.3 MB of
additional memory. You can exit the demo using the LMB
but it might have killed whatever your CIA chips were
doing before (LSP naughtiness)...
Changes
~~~~~~~
The post party version differs in these aspects:
* Rotation the bulb/lamp/sofa scene is now more accurate.
* Kaleidoscope has the missing fairy dust, wand blast and puff animation.
* Kaleidoscope is interactive if you move the mouse.
* Rubbercube changes rotation slightly.
* End logo is now faded in and out (HAM).
* Endpart is faded in.
* Internal changes, bugfixes.
