@gloom303 Will give it a try over the weekend. 😊

Our BlackValley release rekindled my #demoscene spirit. Hopefully there will be a new msdos demo release next year. Just need to code up some new software rendering ideas.

[Thomas Austad @datsua]

@TrondEndrestol Still hopelessly large for source code. A lot of binary data perhaps?

I don't have clue why. But you can browse the release here.

@TrondEndrestol De prøver å sette seg inn i situasjonen.

@gloom303 Of all the places where LLM usage won't backfire. 🙄

Phon just released their 1st album. It's melodic #jazzrock with some additional spices thrown in.

We recorded it live over two evening sessions in May.

PlayPsyCo and our friends in Desire released Simplex at the Black Valley demo party yesterday.

Had a blast working on this. So there is more demo coding on the horizon.

Borrowed a friends 120MHz 486 for some demo testing. My code ran like a constipated turtle on that machine. Turns out that 50 MHz bus speed wasn't common on 486 DX4 systems.

So I'll hide in my room-of-shame for a bit. #demoscene #retrocoding

[Thomas Austad @datsua]

The 486 demo journey is almost over. The initial "mission" was to rekindle my scene spirit by creating a simple demo. Happy to say that democoding is fun again. The demo itself hasn't balloned into a Zeppelin. Its still as simple as envisioned.

[Thomas Austad @datsua]

Just a small update on project get-in-demoscene-shape-again. Programming the 486 is good fun. Debugging has been interresting.
Thanks to RamonB5 and his connections I have help in the gfx departementet.

What is this Black Valley in Blaker thing? ;)

[Thomas Austad @datsua]

Trying to get back in demoscene shape by doing some retro computing(486 & sb16). Not coding anything big and fancy. Just a few flat shaded polygons.

[Thomas Austad @datsua]

@gloom303 Have they stopped saying "it's so musical"?

[Thomas Austad @datsua]

@TrondEndrestol Depends on their temperamen.

[Thomas Austad @datsua]

@torvild Bordet fanger prinsippet de kjører?

[Thomas Austad @datsua]

@martineh24 Smart valg.

Neste gang skal jeg ha vaskepanda.

A small guitar solo from a gig Phon did earlier this year.
