The digital messiah, things you never wanted to know but i'm answering

Maybe you want to know : 'Hmmm, digital messiah... what's that? Kind of a new religion? Do i have to pray for Jesus 2.0?'.
Although you will obey it after you played it because it will do some mindsweeping and reprogramming of your logic, it is not a religion. If you plan to create a sort of shrine for it, where you place printed screenshots, it is your thing.

'The digital messiah' started years ago, even before Tron2.0 was released (but which initially lead me to create a game-project like this). I had tons of ideas and a lot of imaginations. As i'm not drinking and not taking drugs (i'm boring, i know) there were just the options that i must be insane (could be) or having an intresting idea that i should follow. So i started the game-project 2 years ago with the target to create a complete game by myself (proof of my insanity).

Facts, facts, facts...
Now these things a pretty important for you to know:

--TDM is not Tron... huh?--
It doesn't smell like Tron, walk like Tron, it is not Tron, got it? But it plays in a digital universe and a few points were taking from the Tron-universe. Does that mean i have to less phantasy, that i need to steal? Well, the point is : Tron is cool! Was it, is and will be, for all times, 'nuff said.
I don't want to destroy the whole construction called 'Tron', i have massive respect about that idea and concept. But on the other side i had a lot of ideas and concept that won't fit into the concept of Tron. So - press reset - start again.
Another fact is i don't want to give away my ideas to Diznay, you know. They are not the same innovative company they were in the 80's where they created films like Tron. Today all is about making money, not to entertain people really anymore. And i didn't spend my time to create my stuff, just to see some lawyers stands in front of my door saying 'the nose of Tron was seen in your game, so we own it, period'.
If Diznay would be clever they would have worked together with pps in the Tron-Community as today communities are the future of everything, you cannot avoid it. But we know how Diznay acts these days.

--TDM is just the peak of the iceberg--
'TDM / programmed destiny' might be just one story out of a set of stories. Depending on the time i have (which i don't) i'll make some more stories. And TDM itself is created out of a whole world-concept called 'Diu'. So there might be other projects coming along related to this. We'll see.

--TDM should be a homage to Tron--
Although that TDM is not related to the story or characters of Tron, it is dedicated to it, that said it should praise the innovative, unique idea and style of the film. I'm just a worthless pile of mud trying to reach just a quarter of the style this film has. Ment seriously.

--TDM will cost sooo much, no one could pay, so in the end i take nothing for it--
Seriously, i believe in entertain pps and not to make so much money that i have to build myself a big swimming-pool so i can swim in that money. Does it mean i'll have to live under a bridge like a troll? For sure, but as i'm already look like a troll, no one would be surprised.
No, TDM is freeware, everyone should play it if possible. Another reason why i don't offer it related to Tron, 'cuz companies like Diznay only send the lawyers to grab your ideas so they can make money without spending time to develop it. And that way people have to pay again, that is against my believe.
