Gettiing back in the saddle

By CatchinAshes on April 7, 2024 1:25 am

This quarter marks a return to my chiptune origins, sparking anew the flame of my 8-bit creativity.

It’s been a while since I’ve deeply immersed myself in the world of chiptunes sticking to my little bubble of the version I was comfortable with and I must admit, I’m feeling a touch out of practice. The landscape of the software has evolved, and I’ve yet to catch up with the latest versions and tools. But, there’s a certain charm in returning to one’s roots, and that’s precisely my plan for this quarter—rekindling my passion for chiptune creation.
With two fresh cartridges at the ready, my cherished projects stand by, preserved and playable, bridging the gap between legacy and innovation.

On the development front, I’m putting the finishing touches on some exciting tools. Admittedly, the hustle of work has kept me from dedicating as much time as I’d like, but progress is progress. I’ve managed to compile temporary builds for both Linux and Mac, and I’m eagerly awaiting to see them in action—here’s hoping they run smoothly!

Stay tuned for updates, and wish me luck as I dive back into the chiptune fray!

Nice to see you're getting back into chiptune! A good chiptune with groove and a fun lead.
