Another game from Twilight duo, Harold Klink and Martijn Althuizen.
This time we have a set of very promising space SEU demos which were a new development by Twilight which sadly were cancelled early on. These were given a game title of "Firethorn", which was actually thought up and coined by Jeroen Tel at the time.
There are 3 demos in total, showing various techniques which were picked up at the time. Harold had recently picked up the technique of producing parallax scrolling on the C64 and these were the results.
The games didn't get very far, and this was pretty much it. However, Jeroen Tel apparently gave the guys some unreleased music to use in the game, which doesn't seem to be in any of the demos unfortunately. There might be another version out there somewhere which has this music in. We'll certainly be taking another look through the disks to see if we can find a version with the music.
Check out the demos and also some extra bonus goodies from the guys which were also found on their work disks. Various intros unused and music demos.
Overall the demos show some promising ideas, but sadly they never got far enough to make anything really playable. They are certainly worth a look though!
More soon from the developers on these demos...
Frank.
