Truth be told, we've already started on this intro last year, pre-pandemic, and it's not like we didn't make any progress on it, just... something wasn't clicking yet. The idea kept sitting at the back of our heads, gnawing away, and perhaps deep down we hoped we'd sit out a year and get the chance to show it at a "real" party, but it eventually became apparent that was not to be. So we did it anyway. From the very beginning we knew what we wanted after doing slow dramatic quasi-short-films about the world ending, what can we do that's the exact opposite? So we ended up going back to our roots. In many ways, making this intro brought back a lot of memories from the PG days, the collaboration, the squeezing of single bytes, the amount of content... And then took all of that, and cranked all of those things to proportions that were unprecedented for us until now, which is a fitting denouement to this generation of our 64k tech. The only thing missing will be the catharsis in the hall. But we'll get there soon. Take care of each other. Miss you all. Hope to see you soon. conspiracy.hu twitter.com/conspiracyhu facebook.com/conspiracy.hu #conspiracy​ #demoscene​ #64k​ #intro​ #realtime​ #hungary
