yeah, that's pretty sick honestly

just a retro computer with a good sound chip that has support for homebrew games music and art. the original creator's pc
avatar
people still make games for the c64. there's a magazine that reviews and features them still

avatar
c64 is pretty nice, idk much about it
avatar
oh neato
avatar
the botb guy coded it himself i think i read. and yeah agree about chiptune, it's a mood but i wish it did more. i think the c64 SID chip is probably the most interesting of them all.
avatar
this website actually seems pretty cool, chiptune is interesting, idk about sound wise but, it's still interesting
avatar
but ahh, okay I think I remember microtones, interesting stuff for sure
avatar
uhhh, not off the top of my head, but I'll keep thinking
avatar
oh cool, that other music competition thing is super interesting
avatar
know anything else cool like black midi, i'm always hungry for inspiration
avatar
i used to be really into chiptunes too, like making them but it's a lot of work just to make a melody with square waves
avatar
it's not exactly like black midi but there used to be a scene there
avatar
they have competitions where they have to make a song that's a few kilobytes or uses specific samples, etc

this is why i like a2b2
avatar
i love alternate scales and stuff but it's so lacking i think

to me the synths sound less like instruments and more like an alien NES
