Refix 2017

Hot on heels of 'Koalatro' comes Cosine's second entry into the 2016 CSDb Intro Creation Competition.  As with Koalatro, T.M.R coded everything and pixelled the screen, while I provided the music.


According to T.M.R:

"The general design is based on an intro that Cosine were using in the mid 1990s for various releases, although this new iteration doubles the resolution on the logo, splits the background colour on the text lines and expands into the upper and lower borders."
 
The music is a cover of one of my favourite Amiga modules, 'Macrocosm' by Firefox.  Searching for it on YouTube will find a recording of the original.  My cover was written over the period of a few months using Goattracker.

The demo can be downloaded from the Cosine website here...

By downloading from this blog, as well as a D64 disk image of the demo, you'll get the music as a SID file and the music in it's original Goattracker SNG format, so you can load it into Goattracker and see how it was 'built'.  Also included are a series of 'work-stages' of the tune so you can see how it progressed and how different instruments were experimented with.  Grab the files here...

You can watch and listen to the demo on YouTube.  Hopefully the player will appear below, but if not you can watch it by clicking here...
