That's right! We pushed towards new horizons with this new PC-9801 demo for the oldschool demo compo. I've been wanting to make it for years to explore its unique hardware not found in IBM PCs and now I finally had a chance! #otomatalabs

Sorry for no drawtober right away this year. I'm still crunching lots of code before the Deadline this weekend 😫

October is coming... Time to refresh my tablet surface I guess

Please check this advanced 9ch(!) OPL3 tune out. It really doesn't deserved to be placed 7th at the compo 🙏

Implemented switching between the score and the textbox. Also I found the way to reduce the latency enough that I can have all the sprites intact! #nesdev #gamedev

One more thing! I also made this #LSDJ tune for an oldschool music compo! It's been so long since I last used this program. Despite being against all big samples and OPL3 entries, it did really well! Full video at my channel youtu.be/G1V3H2zMx8c

Two new videos! The second one is my tiny 128-byte intro compo entry. I made this SNES demo effect in only 128 bytes of ROM! Full video at my channel youtu.be/OPPusr1aoC0

That's right! I'll be assembling and installing my custom flash mod board that I recently ordered!

Got an another MMC5 board and desoldered some components for the next step...

I'm back to circuit board designing again 👍

I originally didn't plan to use my e-ink tablet to do this but I can finally replicate my main drawing setup everywhere now thanks to KDE Connect's recent "use as drawing tablet" feature 😮

The setup, I still use my keyboard for shortcut buttons

The drawing, I remade all my brushes and erasers in Krita too!

Alright, back to working on my NES game (Project Ozone) it is. Can't wait to fight with the weird assembler, linker and build tools again 😔

That's right! We went beyond the LCD pixels of the GBA for the wild compo! My recently bought DS Lite finally had a good use. Full video at my channel youtu.be/FyxlM9oJMIU

That's right! We destroyed the oldschool demo compo with my most advanced 6502 code to date. This is really running in a stock Atari 2600 with no expansions! (except 32k ROM bank switching) Full video at my channel youtu.be/aEJ0A8Wvdxs

Don't expect jokes much this April I'm still too busy finishing our Revision 2026 prods. That being said, please check out the event and expect some uploads to my channel this weekend!

Ah nothing I just wanted to post a photo of my DS

Hello! Is this working? Alright then, I'm finally back with a new design! You guys are definitely going to like this cuter me~ Revealing this March 25!

Natt Akuma (ナット) 🛠 @akumanatt.bsky.social · 15/03/2026

Got a new gear to record something for Revision 2026 this April 😉

lol sorry for the confession last night. I had been not liking the current state of my channel and my model. I want to be cuter...

I admit I thought I enjoyed doing livestreams. In fact, I didn't find it fun and I kept thinking too much of how others will judge me. I stopped streaming for years now and still lied to myself that I'm a Vtuber. It's about time to move on and actually be myself...

Sketch 5 I suddenly wanted to give her an another design iteration but currently don't have an access to my PC. So editing my last sketch with a mouse it is 🥴

Natt Akuma (ナット) 🛠 @akumanatt.bsky.social · 30/01/2026

Damn Revision 2026 is soon and I have an another big Otomata Labs entry to finish for it. Probably not going to touch Project Ozone for quite a while 😦

I guess this will be the year I actually start submitting my drawings for demoparty gfx compos 🤔

Natt Akuma (ナット) 🛠 @akumanatt.bsky.social · 31/12/2025

Dammit I had the worst year for my career but at least I finally decided to start over and realize what I want to do the most 🥲 So my goal for 2026 is to just nicely finish everything I started off

Putting this cartridge mod project on hold for now since I need to save up for something else

Natt Akuma (ナット) 🛠 @akumanatt.bsky.social · 18/12/2025

TIL you can do polygon clipping in KiCad. I did this entirely in the PCB editor

Natt Akuma (ナット) 🛠 @akumanatt.bsky.social · 17/12/2025

That EPROM mod was still too unwieldy, so I decided to do a more modern approach. Which is why I bought an another donor cartridge 😅 #nesdev

Damn, with Furnace recently removing old pitch slides, the module is no longer accurate to these videos 😔

I ported @64abstract.bsky.social's Carve Your Own Path to MMC5, totally not going to use this to test something 😉 #nesdev

When you declared the type wrong so the last tick value keeps getting truncated within 8 bits 😵‍💫

This would take days to play with all those wait commands

.vgm export of this takes about 7 million bits of command by the way 😉
