An HTML game that implements the addictive features of Gacha games very well!

It seems that the Steam Frame VR headset is still alive and they actually distribute early hardware of it:

This makes me happy!

Update: Seems that the video got deleted. Maybe this is a good sign.

Revision 2026 - Compo - PC 64K Intro

2nd place, Squidopus Famelica, a very nice story-driven 64K intro:

And third place - what is it with the Amiga balls ?

Descent by Hork

8K intro competition

If 64K is too large, the 8K intros pack more music than a 4K intro.

LIA - Aenigma

Live Shader Showdown

I like (watching) live shader programming as a form of interactive programming. These showdowns aren't that great for displaying the craft IMO because there is no interaction with the music. But obviously the results still are quite impressive. The live shader programming mildly is what 4K PC intros are nowadays anyway, except that the 4K PC intros are not created in front of a live audience.

The Revision 2026 demo party ended, and they've already released the videos. From the main demo competition, there is one long video, even with commentary. My two favourites are

Golden Egg by Gaspode - technically maybe not that challenging, but very nice composition and design

Razor1911 - Razor1911 - Depeche Mode casts a long shadow, but still a great demo

I always thought Teenage Engineering were expensive toys, with their (super shiny) OP-1 and OP-XY , but the EP-40 series seems comparably cheap at € 400.

Of course, I wouldn't do much more with an EP-40 over an OP-1, but at €400 compared to €1200 , the expense is lower. Not buying either is still cheaper and my rule of not buying a toy unless I have a concrete plan on when I'm going to use it and what I'm going to do with it is still a money-saving rule.
