Armitage by Straylight
- April 2, 2010
Week 2 of my demo-a-week project is upon us. I tend to think this is a much
better demo than the last one, even if it is short. It has known compatibility
issues (older ATI cards, like the one in my desktop, seem to dislike my vertex
shaders...) and it'ss fairly short, but I like it a lot more than Waveride.
I was planning on making this one cross-platform, but after dealing with tons
of compatibility issues, I figure it's better for my mental health if I didn't.
The source will be made available in case anyone feels like doing something fun
with it.
Waveride used Miriel by Nightbeat as its music, on suggestion from a friend of
mine. Oddly enough, Nightbeat produced a song called Straylight -- I got the
name from Neuromancer, but I can only take that as a good sign. Anyway, enough
rambling.
Compatibility:
Tested on a GeForce 9400M, but should work with most modern cards. Requires
SM3.0 (I believe) and rendering to a floating point framebuffer object. If it
dies on start or you don't see the pretty spheres, one of those things is
likely the issue.
