hi hi hello, i've been busy with things!! i'm here to inform you about the things.
STREAMS...
for the next two weeks (until the end of the month), i'll be streaming on monday, wednesday, and friday at 6PM EST with a variety of spooky games and other things. please tune in for my Terror Variety Stream Broadcast!! tomorrow (monday), we're playing splatterhouse 1-3. also, i'm haunted. as always, i'm at https://www.twitch.tv/msx2plus
MUSIC...
along with that, i've been working on my next record, "prolix twist & the airsick trip" under the alias "phs-spc.pctr" (phase space picture). it will be released on allsop-lancaster and is a musicdisk - meaning, it's a disk you can play music from. i'm not distributing any disks, but it will come as a very portable executable that works as far back as win98 (i don't have a 95 machine set up for testing, but it should work). there's a variety of genres on here - the guiding light is it just being a bunch of impulse tracker tunes. of course, it will also be available in modern music formats. please look forwards to it!
PROGRAMMING...
because of the musicdisk project, i've gotten pretty stuck in with c++ and the win32 api, and i'm enjoying it quite a lot. i've been taking a few hours out of every day to chug away at little side test projects and useful everyday things for myself. currently, my "big" pet project is a chiptune sample generator (pictured above). i've been very happy that so much of the knowledge i picked up working on eos has been applicable for something like this... i'd like to get this one wrapped up soon and move on to something bigger! maybe a rhythm sequencer of some kind. for all the stupid bullshit microsoft pulls, the win32 api is really a crown jewel i think... it's awesome what you can do with just a few kb of compiled code on win9x and have it still be completely compatible on current verisons of windows.
as always, thank you for the support and for tagging along! more stuff SOON!
P.S. apologies for the lack of additional DIY print pattern updates as well, i've been feeling a creative streak in other fields and need to chase that while it's here! <3
