Monolith

I've been meaning to add this for a while, since it's release predates this blog and I thought that the 10th anniversary of the release might be a good time!

Back in 2004, I was a member of a C64 group called 'FunkScientist Productions' with MTR1975.  Monolith was the third (and final) release of this group.

This one-file demo had a gestation period of at least a year as far as I remember, with date stamps on some of my archived pre-release builds dating to August 2003.  Work was held up on the 'Fletch' game to work on this demo and unfortunately the game was never resumed.

From memory, the sprites were pixelled in Spr-Eddi V1.3, the mountains and logo in Advanced Art Studio and the charset font in Ultrafont.

The demo can be downloaded from CSDb here...

However, a direct download here will also bag you around 30 odd pre-release builds showing the demo from it's very early stages, the graphics in their original formats and the source code.  The pre-release builds are quite interesting to run because they feature early versions of MTR1975's excellent tune that accompanied the demo.
