Did you know that from 1991 to 1995, more than 200 demos were featured on national French TV in the show named "Micro Kid's"?

We made a Nintendo 64 demo for Revision 2025!

It has baked lighting with normal mapping, specular shading (at the end), and of course bloom. The beautiful song was made by @prismbeings.com with guitar performed by soundcloud.com/sou_andrade

100% of the 'top of the month' on pouet.net is now made of Atari ST releases. I don't think that has ever happened before! 💪

I don't often finish games, but I felt I had to make an exception for Stray.
Lovely game - looks great, plays well, and just the right length for me (8 hours with plenty of time to goof around).

Cluster? I hardly know her! #pixelart

Thank you, that means a lot ❤️

Everything you see here is only achieved by switching the background colour for each individual line at the exact right time.

Atari ST demo without using pixel graphics, entirely made from background colour raster splits. Released at Sommarhack 2024 Zero Bitplane Compo. Demozoo: https://demozoo.org/productions/352741/ A Series of Raster Effects by SMFX (Zero Bitplane Atari ST demo)

Here's the Atari ST demo we've released at Sommarhack with SMFX.

I liked the quote below about seeing technical limitations as a motivation.

"When you separate the animation from the code, you are pushing away the art from the technique, and this is a problem. Flash provided the bridge: code that can work beautifully and art that can be functional."
