RADIANT

Programming: T.M.R
Graphics: T.M.R
Music: 4-Mat
Format: Commodore 264 series
Release date: 1st February 2005

After the first Cosine demo for the 264 series, Ikaruga, proved very popular we had to go back and see what else we could do. Radiant contains a couple of firsts for the Plus/4, the most notable being the logo at the top of the screen; it's in DFLI format and, as far as we're aware, the first ever hand-drawn graphic in that format. To see the other first, keep reading the scroller until the end of the credits.

Trivia: the logo was originally built in Deluxe Paint IV AGA on T.M.R's Amiga 1200, then converted to two colours on an attribute cell by attribute cell basis and finally re-coloured through data tables in the source code; this process took about three days over a two week period. The name sort of comes from the Treasure shoot-em-up Radiant Silvergun, which is the forerunner to Ikaruga.
