I tried several encoding schemes for the read.me, but none really seemed to produce "proper" ASCII art, mirroring sites also had no clues, I wonder if something is hidden there, or this is just funky as intended.

From Wikipedia:

.kkrieger (from Krieger, German for warrior) is a first-person shooter video game created by German demogroup .theprodukkt (a former subdivision of Farbrausch), which won first place in the 96k game competition at Breakpoint in April 2004. The game has never been fully released, remaining instead in the beta stage of development as of 2025, which renders it a perpetual beta.

ReadMe.txt:

Name: NAPTHA

An OoldSkool demo inspired by a live performance I attended and captured of "NAFT", a Belgian Live Analog Techno band.

The main song is based on "Paroxysm" by Naft.

Creator: Steffest
System: Amiga OCS
Runs on Amiga 500 with a 512kb memory expansion and beyond.
Amiga's with a harddisk can use the exe in the "harddisk" folder directly.

Released at RSYNC Demoparty 2025

Tools Used:

Graphics: 
Based on live footage from the band "NAFT"
Images where first sketched on paper and then produced in PhotoShop, including the Generative Fill tool, so I guess they are not AI free.
Images were finalized and pixel optimised in Dpaint.js: https://www.stef.be/dpaint/
Some chunky-pixel animations were taken from Giphy.

Music:
The main theme and some samples where lifted from the song "Paroxysm" by Naft using various stem-splitting tools.
The mod file was composed by hand using BassoonTracker: https://www.stef.be/bassoontracker/
The disk version of naphta uses a lower-quality compressed mod file to make it fit on a single disk and in 512k chip ram.

Code:
Home-cooked hardware banging C.
Compiled with SAS-C on the Amiga (but written in modern editors)
A big thanks to Wei-ju Wu for his YouTube series "Amiga Hardware Programming in C" which pointed me in a direction i could wrap my head around.
The blitter routines are heavily based on his examples.
Still bloody slow though... but boy, did I have fun.
Now I understand why everybody loves the Amiga Custom chips so much.

The Source Code for NAPTHA is available from https://github.com/steffest/naphta

Emergency by Disaster Area
*Final version*

It's 2123 and the Early AI Detection and Protection Agency has just detected a
strange, powerful signal from DEEP SPACE!

Beeps and boops and childhood dreams. Bringing back those memories from your
DOS filled days. Protected mode, 320x200x256 to cover your spectrum and GUS/SB
support for your aural pleasure.

Small bugs fixed and performance tweaks for a smoother experience.
Pentium 100, 10MB RAM minimum.

1st place for the Oldskool demo category at Syntax 2023.

Keeping the flame alive.

The demo supports the following command-line arguments:

-60hz
Use a tweaked 320x200 256 colour mode derived from mode 13h but running at
60hz instead of the usual 70hz. Greetz and thanks to wbc\\bz7 for the code!

-novsync
Don't wait for vsync when copying the main memory backbuffer to VGA memory.
