How about a little #MODtober for lunch? Today is the frenetic sprint through uplifting and gnarkly DnB that is Krunk'D. Released at Datastorm 2014 Amiga Muic Compo.

Keep an eye on those patterns!

Early #MODtober today as I'm off out in a bit.

Todays slab of M.K. is from the recent art pack / music disk, Textual Healing Vol. 2. I went for a post-dubstep / ambient garage style this time as it seemed to fit looking at loads of excellent text mode artwork.

Continuing with #MODtober I'l be posting bits from my back catalogue. Today is Berlin Warehouse, a techno track I made for the Tactical Transmissions music disk from last year. Rigid techno rythms paired with Drum n Bass wobble make it all a little unsettling.

Demosceners... please link my good pal hitch your demoscene artwork and give him a big thumbs up to use it for his streams please. In the age of AI slop, let's promote art made by humans!

Hitch @retrostreamers.com · 16d

I'm looking for your art work to feature on a section of my stream backed by @h0ffman.bsky.social and Ram Bank 2 Tony Hart style Gallery. Using ZX Spectrum art, Amiga art done with Deluxe Paint and more, all based on the love for Retro Computers with your name, Artwork and of course, AGE! Fancy it?

It's far from riff in the Amiga demoscene. One release inparticular this year went a overboard on AI graphics and theres a couple of pics here and there, but we ain't gonna see an AI ProTracker tune for a long while I reckon.

Perfect starter would be pick a language then make a graphics converter. Making something which can pull in a png and spit out planar graphics and an amiga palette will be forever useful.

Yep. Some of the Factor 5 games did it. Also WHDLoad patches can enable full CD32 pad support on games which only used on button.
