(5) Grid Box Demo ... All about it

In the beginning we sarted out to modify a Level of the Scify-Demo.

That were the days of A6. Through the years we kept on working, going through big change of the *.wdl-code. We had to adjust the whole project several times, according to the different engine updates. Finally we changed it to Lite-C. Once a modyfied Scify-Demo, it became its own "face" and Level-Arcitecture and what all belongs to it.
Keeping on developing, there are now lots of folders of content for models, grafix, sounds and code.

Today the latest Releasae Built runns under A8.30 PRo and uses a Depth Of Field (DoF) -shader, taken from Shade-C collection.

Because of all the particle effects, the framerate of some Level-Parts went down intensly.
To get enough frames (25fps) for FRAPS recording, I used our Notebook (Core2Duo CPU@2.1Ghz with a Nvidia GeForce 8600MGs).

Now there was the time to come to an end, to release the first Trailer. Otherwise it might have been never ended, since there always come up new ideas. And one day, after some years it has to be done.
