Very happy to have contributed a pair of logos to the amazing Razor 1911's 40th anniversary demo. It’s an honour to play even a tiny part in such an instant classic. Video of the demo here if you haven't seen it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Anb...

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"? Here's an anthology! peertube.fenarinarsa.com/w/24nDZWh5Er... #demoscene

Back when EA was cool, they packaged their software in album-style sleeves and promoted their developers like rock stars. I was a Dan Silva groupie.

Monsta, one of the first games I worked on together with other people over 20 years ago has just been officially ported to the iPhone and iPad. It was originally designed for the PalmPilot if you remember those 🙂 apps.apple.com/rs/app/monst...

We made a Nintendo 64 demo for Revision 2025! 📺 youtu.be/v3wYV6gxJII 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 Some development notes below.

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).

Here's the Atari ST demo we've released at Sommarhack with SMFX. Includes some crazy technical achievements from Tom and Spkr as the demo had to run without writing any data to the screen memory. #demoscene #atari youtu.be/z2Ke-Irp7U8?...

Prosperity, decline, and return of Adobe Flash "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."
