Dear Iris,

I am old and broken.

When we were young it felt like the words came easily. Now I find the ink has long dried on the pen and I'm as wanting for words as coin in my purse.

I can tell we are nearing the end of the tale; time enough for one more job before the curtain call...

==============

WITH LASTING GRATITUDE:

OBSTORTTE - Whose gameplay scripts from his thread laid the foundation which made the mission seem like something I could even pull off at all. Also fantastic tutorial videos!

DRAGOFER - Who built upon that foundation and made it shine even brighter! And whom also provided immeasurable quantities of help and encouragement the past couple years on the TDM discord.

ORBWEAVER & GIGAGOOGA - For generously offering their ambient music up for use.

EPIFIRE - Who lent me his fine trash and trash receptacle models.

AMADEUS - Who was the first person who wasn't me to play the damn thing and provided his excellent editorial services to improving the readers experience playing

TESTERS AND TROUBLESHOOTERS:

AMADEUS * DATISWOUS * SPOOKS * ALUMINUMHASTE * JAXA * JACKFARMER * WESP5 * ATE0ATE * MADTAFFER * STGATILOV * DRAGOFER * KINGSAL

- What can I possibly say? Playing this thing over and over again could not have been easy. Deepest thanks and all apologies.

-=THANKS TO ALL ON THE TDM DISCORD AND FORUM=-
==SEE README.TXT FOR ADDITIONAL ATTRIBUTIONS & INFORMATION==

HONORABLE MENTION:

GOLDWELL - If I hadn't by chance stumbled into Northdale back in 2018/2019 I would probably still be trying to get this thing to work in TDS, which means it probably would not exist - though more details on that in readme.

==============

Boring Technical Information:

*This mission makes use of volumetric lighting in several scenes. While optional if you wish to see this feature enable the "maps" lighting model and I recommend you also disable image sharpening. If you do not like the effect or are concerned about performance use stencil shadows*
*Iris is a performance intensive mission and I recommend a GTX 1060 or equivalent. I find the performance similar to other demanding TDM missions on my machine, but mileage may vary and my apologies if this prevents anyone from enjoying the mission.*
*Iris heavily modifies the behavior of AI in the game, how they relate/respond to each other and the player. So they may act even stranger than they do typically in TDM. Feedback on this is useful - as it can potentially be improved and expanded upon in future patches.*
