[Demo Scene] Memento Mori / Commodore 64 [MiSTer FPGA]
0Demo by Genesis Project. (Link below) This won 1st place in the mixed competition @ Function 2020 Demo scene party. Make sure you're watching at 1080p60 to fully enjoy this work of art. Original demo is PAL so there is a bit of stutter, but its not very distracting here. Dim the lights, crank the volume and enjoy.

This demo is about the Coronavirus pandemic; a message of love for the departed, and those still feeling the effects every day. It feels like we're so close to the end, but it's still not time to let our guard down yet. It's been over a year of sacrifice to mitigate the spread of the pandemic, but we will make it through. Just move forward with love, and don't let the political forces/zealots sway your resolve to act in mutual respect for all going through this. We are in this together.

The Commodore 64 core has seen tremendous improvements lately, and just yesterday had a bug report fixed, that I had put in many months back regarding a certain graphical bug in this demo. It's been resolved now, and the SID sound chips have seen significant upgrades as well, so I figured it was time to finally make a video for this awesome demo.
Note: I'm using 5x integer scaling for this video to fill the screen better. Originally I was going to record the entire thing with a 216p 5x integer crop, but I found a couple sections of the first two disks were slightly cut off, so I recorded both of those with a 270p crop and switched to 216p for the final disk's lovely scroller.
