History
Remorse was established in late 1994 by two IBM-PC scene ASCII artists from San José, California who went by the pseudonyms Necromancer and Necronite.
After releasing five artpacks between 1994–1995, Remorse temporarily disbanded. Prominent members each went their separate ways; some created their own groups (such as Trank) and another joined ANSI Creators in Demand to assist with their ASCII division.
In 1996, it was decided by the leaders of Trank, ACiD proper, and the newly formed ACiD ASCII division (not yet named Remorse) that they should consolidate (and in some ways reunite) as a single group. Like pHluid, the music sublabel of ACiD, the leaders of these three organizations merged under the new name of Remorse/ACiD ASCII, and became an official extension of ACiD Productions. This is the Remorse which continues to exist to this day (1996–present).
Present day
Remorse continues to release ASCII in the same traditional artpack format that it started with. These packs are now distributed via the internet on IRC and FTP servers; decorating FTP sites, telnet BBSes, NFO files or art for the sake of art.
