In July, I made an ambitious parallax based ASCII interactive artwork as a commission for https://x.com/danywander. It is online since a few weeks now on https://of.domains/. I made a standalone version with a background music on https://adelfaure.net/artware/ascii_might_fly/. Source code is available on https://gitlab.com/adelfaure/openfield-ascii-landing
@adelfaure Fantastic! 🤩 How much more difficult would it be if you used a limited palette (16 colors or less) and a ink & paper approach by each character?
@dmian Thanks ! You mean like bitmap render with photos of hand drawn characters ?
@adelfaure No, I mean using color, in a similar way to a Spectrum or something like that, where each 8x8 character can only have an ink color and a paper color. Would it be too complicated and time consuming to color the whole scene like that?
@dmian ah yes its totally feasible ! And its actually more performant than web font rendering. Im actually working on that :D. I mostly did some still artworks for now but Im preparing animated/interactive stuff. It is a bit long because I recently switched to cpp and I need to redo my editor for making cool sprites. Do you got experiments in stuff like that ? You use legacy computing stuff if Im correct
@adelfaure For a time I took the ZX graphic characters and modernized it: https://dribbble.com/shots/624181-Blocks I then used that to create the logo for a game studio I was planning at that time: https://dribbble.com/shots/625820-Robot-String-Final But I never explored the idea further or in a more artistic way. But I love the esthetic and followed a few ASCII artists that used it, especially PETSCII artists.
@adelfaure That's pretty amazing! So, glancing at the source code, it's procedurally generated too?
@adelfaure amazing, really cool! 😻

@adelfaure l'animation (comme l'ensemble de ton oeuvre) est vraiment incroyable

Mais j'ai vraiment du mal à comprendre la nature du service que propose OpenField

@copy @adelfaure La réservation de nom de domaine. C’est un marché d’internet qui malheureusement est extrêment hard. OpenField réserve des noms de domaine et loue leur utilisation
@QuentinJuhel @copy merci Martin :). Oui c'est pas du joli. C'est un concept un peu étrange de vente de noms de domaine. Si j'ai bien compris tu leur pitch un projet (type startup) paye pas jusqu'à que tu gagnes de l'argent avec ton projet et commence a payer après. C'était un travail de commande, j'ai été correctement payé la relation était vraiment ok et j'ai pu partager les sources en libre. Après j'aimerais bien avoir plus de commandes comme ça mais pour des projets qui ont plus de sens !
@copy mais je crois que le robinet monétaire est coupé pour les projets utiles a la société
