#BuxtonBytes was a great meet. Lots of fun (and funny) productions, which I'm sure will be submitted in no time at all to Demozoo/Pouet.
So nice to attend something more akin to a gathering than a hardcore coding convention.
I'll be putting a direct download link on my own site in the next couple of days for my stuff.
A massive thanks to the organisers for a fun event - really enjoyed meeting so many Atari legends in the flesh!

Today I finished my second entry for the #BuxtonBytes demo meet this coming weekend. I'm gonna pop both on a floppy together for everyone to download, with a little menu to go with it.
My second entry is truly awful (just like the first). I actually coded 90% of it when I was about 18, 35+ years ago and dug it out from some old discs of source code...It truly fits the Buxton Bytes ethos, with all of its "borrowed" content.
I look at it and think about how different I was at 18. I was mostly an arsehole (like most teenagers are at that age), but it'a fitting memory for the 80s/90s and definitely worth watching for a little while, just for the nostalgia.
I post so infrequently these days. Back in my Twitter days (15+ years ago), I'd tweet four or five times a day. Now weeks pass.
Just me? Or are we all just starting to disengage from social media?
Anyway, I'm still coding away. I have an #atarist production in the works, which will be presented in a similar way to #FrankenSTOS, but around a very personal subject. As before I'll be using my #STOS extension, which I keep adding to (and seemingly, never releasing).
I'd like it finished for #BuxtonBytes, but I suspect it won't be. I seem to go through creative peaks and troughs.
It's very much a proof of concept production at present and I hope to get another awesome artist involved as I near completion.
Anyway, I'll go back to lurking now.
