1 - Ceremonial Opening

If  you  are  interested  in  the  demo group Remal, this file will tell
you  most  of  the  information  you might need. Everything stated in this
file is true, unless it turns out not too be. ;-)

We  are  mainly  interested  in  making  demos,  intros and other scene-
related  productions,  but  developing  games or other commercial software
is, of course, always possible.

There is something else important to be announced here:
We  think  that  the  demo  scene, the parties and all this stuff is for
friendship,  fun,  and  are  one  of  your spare-time activities. We don't
develop  something  to  get  a  huge  pile  of money at a party. Of course
winning is not too bad, morally... ;-)
By  the  way,  parties  almost  never  show  the  real  scene situation.
Voting  has  nothing  to do with objective decision, it's usually much the
result of momentary impressions.
(The  above  paragraphs  are  dedicated  to  Cyberdancer/Phantom Dezign.
No hard feelings, mate!)

2 - The Past

Remal  was  formed  at  the  beginning  of 1994, but none of us remember
the  exact  date.  Three  of  us  have  been going to the same class for 4
years,  and  were  trying  to  start  a  group,  but  lack of skill caused
problems of all kinds. We also met Epton Gwedik back in 1993.

At  the  beginning  5  guys  built  up  the  group:  Bana,  Cimo,  Epton
Gwedik,  SB  and  Zed. Then in April 1994 we managed to finish a demo more
or  less,  that's  what  became  The Spinning Wheel. It featured pieces of
all  5  people's  works.  We  competed  at  the  Hammering  party, so that
should be considered our 'release date'.

During  the  summer  of  1994  both  coders  contributed  a  4k-intro to
Assembly'94  and  Cimo  presented  a picture. At the party ATX/MFC agreed,
and  we  had  a  distribution  site, Experimental Connection, later called
E-Connect.  We  met  Netron  in  Finland  and  he joined us as a composer.
After  the  party  Bisounours/Nuage  also  offered  his Dune BBS as distro
site. Epton Gwedik's friend, Illegal joined us later as a composer.

The  fall  of  1994  was  spent  presenting  nothing,  but some projects
started, like a moduleplayer, intro/demo ideas showed up, etc.
At  the  moment  we  are working on many projects simoultaneously, which
might be a bad step to take, but time will show.
