Couldn’t stop with Windows 3.11, so I made another for Windows 95 😅👍

Promo image of a sticker sheet with lots of Windows 95 icons tightly packed on the signature muted turquoise background: Recycle bin, Computer with a speaker, window controls, an OK button, a laptop, mouse pointers, a bouncing card from Solitaire, UI elements from MS PAINT, "My Computer" and the Start button.

Spotted today at IKEA: "When they discover their personality" -- that us? 😅
Photo of a wooden wall mount with a horizontal bar. On it are cheap USB headset and a PS3 controller affixed with cable ties and nothing else. On the wall there's the text "Wenn sie ihre Persönlichkeit entdecken".

Couldn’t resist assembling this Windows 3.11 sticker sheet 😅

#retro #windows3x #retrocomputing #stickers
[LLM generated] The image is a collection of pixelated stickers reminiscent of a classic computer interface. The stickers are arranged diagonally across a white background and feature various icons, including a chess piece, a mouse pointer, a calculator, "Yes" and "No" buttons, a Windows logo, a file folder, a notepad, a palette, a CD, a mine sweeper mine, an "OK" button, and an MS-DOS logo. The colors are vibrant and the style is distinctly retro.

Would it kill them to write what's new in the "What's new" section?! 🙄
Screenshot from Goolge Play store updates of YouTube, Discord, Dropbox, and PayPal expanded. Under each "What's new" header they all have a variation of "We’ve been hard at work making this app better for you. This includes bug fixes and performance enhancements. For more detailed information, go to your profile in the app and scroll down to “What’s New”."

In case some of you missed Valve's email a couple ofbweeks back, here's the offical announcement regarding changes to the Store page

https://steamcommunity.com/games/593110/announcements/detail/506217467911081529

#gamedev #steam
Screenshot of the article reading With today's Steam update, you'll now find that many store pages throughout Steam are wider, making better use of your larger monitors and better organizing some of the information on screen. For users opted into the Steam client beta, these set of changes have been visible since late August while we refined the update and gave game developers a chance to prepare for wider store page assets. Today's update officially moves these changes out of beta to be fully public, widening many pages from 940 pixels to now 1200 pixels. If you have been opted into the beta, you've already been using the new wider store pages and won't see much change today. For those of you that haven't been opted into the Steam client beta, read on for a quick overview of the changes. A few upgrades for game store pages The biggest changes can be found on game store pages, where we've also recently updated the video player (you can read about that in our post from July: Steam Trailer Player Upgrades). Overhauled trailer/screenshot carousel The trailer and screenshot carousel now supports three different modes (default, theater mode, full-screen mode) with the same functionality. All modes adhere to your preferences for whether to auto-play trailers and whether audio should be on or off by default.

I got a DOS laptop! And the thing I've been developing in an emulator for months now works without issues on it! 🤯❤️

On a simulated CRT screen the image looks even better! 😅

And here’s today’s progress: My DOS game’s title screen with a neat animation on the title and my EGA fade effect. Maybe I keep tweaking that image, though 🤔

Did some more EGA pixelart today for my DOS fan game (instead of working on the actual game). I fear it’ll become a slide show—but then again my code is so over-engineered, it already is on slower machines 🙈

#ega #pixelart #dos #retrocomputing
Screenshot of the game showing an EGA artwork of Devon Miles on the phone with the caption "Michael, the drug dealers are about to escape! Catch them at once!" And there's a pink ball and a blue mouse pointer in the frame too.

In S1E3 we see Michael playing a game on KITT’s screen, so I thought I modify it slightly and make a GIF for y’all.

Should appear on Giphy and Tenor in the next few hours, just enter @PixelProphecy (with the @-sign) in the GIF search bar

Remember my NES chiptune cover of the #knightrider theme?

Well. Now I made an OPL-2 AdLib cover. 😅✨

Did some more #ega #pixelart on the this classic shot and, most importantly, coded up a fancy EGA fade out effect by first ordering all colors by perceived lightness and swapping to the next-lower during the fade out until all are black. 😊👍

I love the clunky future that Knight Rider predicted even besides the talking, self-driving car: Car phones! Smart watches! Helpful visualizations! 🥰
Still from a first-season episode of that week's bad guy in a car, driving and talking into a rotary phone receiver Still from a first-season episode of a macro shot of Michael's watch showing a simple LCD clock and two labels (Engage and Transmit) and a tiny AM wheel and looks overall very cheap and plasticy Still from a first-season episode of a shot of KITTs screen showing a digital drawing of a black car on a road behind 5 pink cars and a green countdown timer. It looks a bit like an 8 bit take on the Mario Kart title on the SNES with all the garish colors and simple shapes.

I’ve changed some things under the hood and needed a test program so here’s another screensaver for DOS: Select the logo with left/right and the background color with up/down. You’re welcome!

Update on my DOS "game". Mechanically it's still just "click the ball" but I pushed some pixels today for a nice background and there’s now music and sprite animations! Goodnight, nerds!

Meanwhile, I made music! Here's a melodic instrumentalnelectronic piece I call "Message Pump", my attempt at something a bit more "poppy" than my usual stuff. 🕺🎵😎

Sorry for my relative radio silence this week. Lots of stuff and busywork kept me, well, busy. And today I went to our uni reunion and had a splendid time meeting everyone after 15+ years. Also had the joy to share a ride with synth maestro Dorian Concept 😊👍
