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. As some of you may be wondering, both LakEEE and PsychoMan were indeed part of the demo group called "Axidental" back in 1994, but that is no more. Due to some internal problems, the two have quit the group to form the new "Craw Productions" and continue with programming as a two-man crew. Please don't get the wrong idea; we're not snobby and nor are the other members of Axidental at fault. It's just that we found the organization in Axidental difficult and things did not always run smoothly to suit everyone's desires. But let that issue pass, for this is a text file on Craw and its future goals, aspirations and decisions! As I said, we are interested very much in demo coding and plan to attend most major competitions to our availability, but we are also hoping to release a few other programs, such as a game and a graphical drawing utility. �袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴� � Group statistics � 훤袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴暠 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" - AGE 18 (Born in 1976) is one of the main coders of Craw, as well as its only musician and graphics artist. -Michael Anttila, "PsychoMan" - AGE 18 (Born in 1976) is the other coder and handles most of the very low level assembly code and sound playing routines. �袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴� � Our productions � 훤袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴暠 We have not yet distributed many (or any) pieces of software, but we intend to release a fair line of products. The advertisement in which this text was included, Optica, is simply the beginning. Here is a list and some brief descriptions of what we are planning in the present and near future: "Optica" - This is a medium sized advertisement for the upcoming demo Opticron, which will make its appearance at the NAID '95 demo party. "Opticron" - Our first demo, a 6.5 minute long thematic fantasy presentation. This one will hopefully catch some people's attention. "Vortex" - A music disk by LakEEE, with seven of his songs and a single changing tunnel feature effect. "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. �袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴� � Greetings! � 훤袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴暠 Here it is, the inevitable greetings part.
