- Welcome to Luminati (a.k.a. Ambience 2 (a.k.a. Timeless 3))...
- Main stuff:
- -----------
- Well, I was being my normal lazy self, when suddeny, ye olde inspiration
- monster bit me. After not really doing much on the PC for quite a bit of time,
- I dug out a bunch of stuff and started working on a new demo. I knew exactly
- what I wanted from the start, and pretty much worked consistently to arrive
- at what you have now. It is nothing technically amazing, nor really terribly
- original, but it is (in my opinion) quite pretty. It is intended for Pentium
- class machines, so you have no right to whine if you run it on anything less.
- The demo uses the same high refresh video mode for high color as Ambience.
- There is also stuff from Timeless and Ambience in there. I admit this freely
- because the point of this thing is to look really nice, and after all, I am
- the second laziest person on the face of this universe (mind you, I say only
- THIS universe, I have no idea how lazy people are in other planes of
- existence). There! On the ceiling, do you see them? The cosmic fluffies!

- Wisdom:
- -------
- Fellow traveller in the shadow of life: Upon the gaunt spires of despair,
- let not your spirit be rent, but frolic in those shades of dreams misplaced.
- Blazes a midnight sun of agony sweet, and the morning star of blackest hope.
- Lament not, but embrace these beacons of damnation and accept the illusory
- truth. Partake the nectar of indifferent solice, which ebbs through all the
- darker places of our being, and make your life's blood of pain. For truly,
- who has suffered that has not lived.
- But enough of this serenade to the human condition, gloom and doom do not
- grow on trees. Life sucks, existance is phantasm, and the truth is not. I must
- now get on with my lack of reality. I will do in this text what I have not
- done before. I am after all ... ick ... human (after a fashion), and prey to
- all the vices thereof. So I will give you an address where you can send me a
- nice letter telling me how much you hated this little demo thingy. I do not
- know how long I will be at this particular place, I tend to float where fancy
- leads, but I should be here for at least the immediate future. And remember,
- I do not answer (for the sole purpose of being rude).

- Enough is too much, and this is more than, still. You have come to the end
- of this doc. Enjoy the demo, or don't, or whatever turns you on, I don't care.
- And remember, you're wrong.
- Sincerely...
- Ourself...
