Motus Atari ST demo - final 1 MB version released

Theย  Atari ST demo "Motus" was released in 2019 by SMFX. Back thenย  it required 2 MB of RAM to run the demo.

spkr has reworked the code and memory handling so the demo is now working on a bog-standard Atari ST with 1 MB of RAM from a floppy disk.

Rumours say a couple of floppy disks with the demo on it are available on demand.

Quoting Cyprian:

Better compressor and loading data from disk throughout the demo are my guesses, oh and maybe symfx music driver?

If you want a physical disk version of this release, hit me up on the usual channels and I send over one.
