#evoke #macos Try to Download a macOS #sizecoding toochain. Good luck. It does not exist. We are probably the first group having mastered it. On the intel platform we used the upx compressor. If you run it on mac arm it says: „upx: DDE: CantPackException: macOS is currently not supported (try --force-macos)“

There is no demotools for that platform available! We did the whole tooling by ourselfes.

Evoke could have had three firsts. Drones, Copper, MacOS sizecoding. It’s a pitty.

2 Weeks until #PICO1K Jam 2025!

"Dark Ages"
The first couple of nights after they cut the power were just scary. Then the looting and burning began. Streets in flames. And that smell. You didn’t have to die to go to hell.

not the most creative effect, but I had fun making this pseudo-voronoi diagram thingy. haven't touched PICO-8 or sizecoding properly in around a year so it's good to get back to it. 299 bytes postcart, excluding the header comments for the cart image

"Spring"
The problem with synthoids was that they simply thought too much, overly fixated on optimization. The organics played the long game, dancing patiently since the dawn of time.

Another lovely day, another special invitation! This tiny yet magical 256 byte intro by GeirS was lovingly crafted for the legendary Commodore 64. Yes, really! The C64 may not be the first thought for tiny intros, but oh, how beautifully 256 bytes can shine. Made with care - just for you! Come celebrate tiny intros with us. Next weekend!

"Neo-Tokyo Circular Route"
He could hear the highway, but his visor was cracked, and all he could see was a kaleidoscope of lights and the shadows of passing cars.

#genuary Pure black and white. No gray.

Wow. I didn't expect the amount of resonance my writeup is getting. Thank you very much.

I did a lot of changes, split the document. Hopefully providing alternative, practical strategies for synthesizing sounds in a size-coding context:

May also be generally relevant for folks struggling/are bored with their bassdrums.
