Beast Tribute Demo

Finally, I've finished my small tribute demo to the old game publisher 'Psygnosis'.  This demo was written in response to the other various Psygnosis tribute demos that appeared on the 'Dark Bit Factory & Gravity' Purebasic forum during 2018.

My main focus and inspiration for the demo was the Amiga game 'Shadow of the Beast'.



The demo is subtitled 'Old School Demo 2', as it's a follow up to 'Old School Demo 1' (funnily enough) which itself was released by Cosine in April 2018.

Out of respect, it contains some original graphics from the Amiga game (the main sprite and the parallax stone wall/fence), along with brand new graphics pixelled by me in the style of the old game.

The music is also new, composed by me in OpenMPT using the original samples ripped from the game and done in 4 channel MOD format in the style of David Whittaker's original soundtrack. 

The demo has been released by Cosine and is available to download from the Cosine website here...

You can also download the demo (along with PureBasic source and all binaries and work files) here or via GitHub here.
