Title-Designer



I made a demo screen!

By sheer chance, I found a demo/intro maker the other day, which is also something I've never actually seen before. It was released in 1987/89 for the Atari ST by Hans-Conrad Stamm. That's right, The Blade Runners! Just when you think you know your ST stuff, something appears out of the blue. Well, new to me!

Creating your demo screen is a cinch because this is a remarkably easy program to use. The intro can feature scrollers, colourful rasters, music, etc. It's up to you to decide what and how to make your screen appear. Those with the skills to make their own images/sampled music will get the most from Title Designer.

( Note, there are minor visual issues on anything other than the original Atari ST )

Over the last few days, I have made several intros and what's immediately impressive is how effortlessly I could make screens bursting with colour - I only wish it supported traditional YM tunes with samples utilizing the STe DMA hardware. Regardless, this is a belting program stuffed with loads of features and I love it.

Come on ST folk, get the program downloaded as I would love to see your creations - let me know in the comments below. I'll upload my demo screen to Demozoo for those wanting to download it!

Okay, here are a few cool Title-Designer screenshots to check out...

Remember reading those menu disk scrollers? Well, now you can write your own!


Chose their colours. Yes, that is colours rather than one single colour.


Why not add a couple of visual effects to your drawings?


I thought this was a powerful feature to have before loading another program or ST desktop.


And here's the result after mere minutes. Yes, minutes! (credit to unknown for the superb image)



I personally think this is a great piece of software. Try it!!
