-
- This is only an old demo version (completed in February 1995) of the
- texture mapping 3d engine we developed for Amiga. With this engine we
- done a game named "Breathless" that is nearly finished.
- As you can see, our engine is at least as fast as other engines, but
- looks better and, obviously, take advantage of faster processor.
- Moreover, the user can adjust window and pixel size to obtain the
- better FPS rate.
-
- The complete game includes many features not implemented in this demo.
-
- Please, rememember that this is a VERY OLD DEMO of the 3D engine, and
- that the last version is much better. The graphic is not the one used
- in the game, there aren't sound effects, enemies are totally stupid,
- etc., etc., etc. Practically this isn't the game, but only an old
- version of the 3D engine.
- Since the code is totally changed, please don't send us any bug
- reports or complaints.
-
- So, please, avoid every useless criticism.
-
- In this archive you can found some pictures of the game so you can
- easily notice the differences between this old demo and the game.
-
-
- A fully playable demo of Breathless (the game) will be available soon!
-
- Breathless will be out before Xmas.
