We are big fans and supporters of computer graphical and tracked musical demonstrations all over the world, and have made a few ourselves. In essence, one can call us a demo group, although we do dabble in game and utility coding. Both LakEEE and PsychoMan were part of the demo group called "Axidental" back in 1994, but that is no more. The other members of the old group have gone separate ways, whether on or off the demo scene, and these people are: Cyclone, Biocide, Mental Floss and Dark Spy. Our only production with these four was "The Accident", which competed at ASM '94. ÉÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ º Window to Oblivion º ÈÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍͼ Here's our second ever preview demo release, and this time it shows snapshots of our soon-to-be NAID '96 demo contender, Infinity. The purpose of this advertissement is to simply raise hype and "commotion" about Craw Productions' next demo at NAID... Hopefully it has increased your appetite for more. :) The snapshot graphics are of an early prototype of the actual demo, so the final release may look different, and hopefully better! ÉÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ º Group statistics º ÈÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍͼ Our group is made up of only two people, and it will probably stay that way for a while. Both are from Canada, their native country, although we do have family ties elsewhere... -Kenji Toyooka, "LakEEE" - (Born in 1976) is one of the main coders of Craw, as well as its only musician and graphics artist. -Michael Anttila, "PsychoMan" - (Born in 1976) is the other coder and handles most of the very low level assembly code and sound playing routines. ÉÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ º Our productions º ÈÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍͼ So far we have released only three productions, but indeed we are planning a lot more. The list includes demos, intros, utilities and games, either freeware or shareware. Mar 1995 "Optica" - Advertisement for Opticron Apr 1995 "Opticron" - Our first demo (6.5 minutes) Jul 1995 "Vortex" - A dual music disk by LakEEE (16 songs) Feb 1996 "Eternal Gardens" - Another music disk by LakEEE (9 songs) May 1996 "Window to Oblivion" - Preview demo for Infinity (1.5 minutes) Upcoming "Introspectator" - Yet another music disk by LakEEE (5 songs) This will be released together with Window to Oblivion. "Infinity" - Our demo for Naid 1996. Once again, true to our group ideals, this production has a strong theme and highly synchronized music. "CrawDraw" - An MCGA motivated graphics drawing program with many practical, efficient options and an extensive "shape grabbing" interface with special effects. "CrawDir" - A fast and useful directory program that has sorting, searching and viewing options. "Dreaming" - A shareware game; a horizontal shoot 'em up with a unique weapons system and fantastic enemies accompanied by 8 channel music and 4 channel sound effects. Seven levels in total. "PsychoPlayer" - Our S3M / MOD music file player with file menu options and a playlist ability. "Release Me" - A new demo which bases itself around a robot and its existence. Lots of plot and storyline involved. "CrawWorlds" - New 3D system that will feature many effects ideal for movies and presentations, this nice utility may become shareware...
