Final Notes:

We started working on a final version straight after Revision 2012 and we had planned to release it much sooner. However, the unexpected and tragic passing of our good friend and third member, Giles "meaty" Constant, the coder of our synth Mapprox, naturally got in the way of things. We are back now however so expect to see more of us soon! Scenes have been changed and things optimized. Music has been left untouched.

This one is for you Giles, we miss you!

Texture quality setting:

Use low if the intro crashes during startup in order to decrease memory usage. Use high if you experience any graphical glitches. There have been reports of block distortions on some hardware. In particular on text and the strawberry glow effect.

Original Notes:

Cryptic:
One hour of sleep so far at Revision. Deadline approaching rapidly. Some performance issues remain and the intro has not been tested on AMD for a couple of days so there might be some shader issues remaining. Expect a final soon. As usual, bad anti virus software might wrongfully flag anything touched by the kkrunchy packer as a virus. This is a false positive. Just ignore it. Hope you enjoy!

Giles: Hurrah! First outing for the new synth in the first intro from approximate for nearly 3 years! Engine rewrites are now usable, so expect more from this space.. see you all at assembly.. word! ~meaty

Velo: Yes yes yall. Rockin revision like one should. Made the music, got drunk, made some more, woke up, removed some. Right now cryptic is stressed. Meaty is on irc and im boozing. I love not being a coder.
