- ==[INTRODUCTION]=============================================================
-
- This file informs you about LEGENd DESIGN, from the very beginning,
- foundation, members and projects, ways to get in touch, up to last min-
- ute notes.
-
- Well, LEGEND DESIGN is a german group dedicated to making demos, and
- intros, actually all these things, you hopefully appreciate. Further we
- do not deny to take on commercial projects, just the way most other
- demogroups do.
- Currently the group consists of thirteen people ageing from 19 to 23
- years.
- Our occupation, besides the notorious computer works, vary from going
- to school, to studying.
- Anyway, this is not a matter to be discussed here, so we will concen-
- trate on more important matters and topics concerning the group itself.
-
-
- ==[3]===================================================================[3]==
- ==[FOUNDATION, STORY SO FAR]=================================================
-
- Founded in the summer '92 by Pit Bull, Centauri and alpha, who left
- the group some time later, we emerged from a former PC demogroup called
- THE CULT. Shortly after this, the first release was done. Nothing spec-
- tacular, nevertheless a step in the right direction. The CHROMA DYNAMIX
- has been a dentro for the next production. This dentro featured some
- nice texts, shadebobs and soundblaster support. Actually this were our
- first tries doing some VGA and Soundblaster programming.
- A friend of Pit Bull, Steam, joined some time after, dragging Stain-
- less Steel and Endless Creation with him.
- Being reinforced with these members, we were able to start the next
- production.
- The DIGITAL MATRIX megademo has been released in late 93. The release
- had to be delayed for quite some time due to Pit Bull's and Centauri's
- military services by that time. This demo, nevertheless, became quite
- popular. It featured some more advanced technics, like landscape scrol-
- lers, nice graphics and fine music for soundblaster owners.
- After the Party III in Denmark, Avatar and Nomad joined the group.
- Following the megademo was a BBSTRO for our board, the Golden Image.
- Not being a real big thing, it nevertheless contained some nice shaded
- 3d objects. This project was not supposed to earn prices, it served its
- purpose well, though.
- The next big project, a GUS replay routine has been published through a
- modplayer called TRIPLE-S. The modplayer presented some features really
- new by that time. It contained shuffle and introduction play of several
- modfiles as well as a multifunctional file door.
- A nice friendship resulted in one more member, called Sir Ozzy.
- The current production, WARP, took hold of nearly all members, being
- the most complex production up to date.
- The WARP megademo features gouraud and phong shading, a vector world,
- texture mapping , hicolor plasma and Gravis Ultrasound support. This
- project has been a big step forward, compared to the releases in the
- past.
- Shortly after releasing the WARP demonstration, Necros and Oman, former
- Psychic Monks, joined Legend Design as musician, respectively grafics
- artist.
- In december, 1994 we released a bugfix for the WARP demonstration. It
- proved to be a bit incooperating on some systems. Especially the new
- configuration program caused some trouble on some systems.
- Lasting nice relations to The Keen Like Frogs (K.L.F.) resulted in the
- next production, a Party 1994 report. Unusual design and neat graphics
- made this one a little "different" from all the other party reports.
- Unfortunately, Endless Creation left Legend Design shortly after. He
- had to quit because of his studies. Anyway, we wish him good luck !!!
- In dire need of a graphician, we signed up Dawnrazor, a really talented
- pixel artist. In addition to this, Sky of Xography asked, wether he
- could join as well. In the past we did not accept double group member-
- ships. This situation, on the other hand, somehow forced us to do it,
- because we did come to know each other very well. He nevertheless con-
- tinues to work for Xography. In the mid' of 1995 we proudly introduce a
- new coder in our ranks. Step has been active on Atari ST systems for
- quite some time, switched systems recently, and joined Legend Design.
- That's the way it goes !
