copilot write a silly song in goattracker with an odd groove and then draw 4 women's faces in teletext and one of them is princess diana, the princess of our hearts, and then convert them to petscii badly and then get them to move about a bit and then combine them into a c64 fake demo

Mistigram: this ##PETSCII illustration by @littlebitspace.bsky.social, 'The Last Gambit', presents an existential scene, all of us kings in our games of ##chess, all doomed to ##checkmate. This piece was included in the spooky MIST1024 artpack collection released one year ago

Mistigram: this ##PETSCII portrait of ##HPLovecraft's preeminent Great Old One, ##Cthulhu (who in his house at R'lyeh waits dreaming) was drawn by bnjmnbrgmn aka Bema. It was included in the spooky MIST1021 artpack collection released four years ago.

Mistigram: with a novel approach, this ##PETSCII (yet another) ##skull is formed entirely of diagonal strokes from commas, apostrophes, slashes & shaded blocks. This piece, drawn by @littlebitspace.bsky.social, was included in the spooky MIST1022 artpack collection released three years ago.
The top piece of a human skull sits on a surface, entirely composed of diagonal lines

I haven't posted an update on "PET Invaders" (WIP) for quite a while.
State of affairs: basic gameplay is finished, any progressions based on shot count are still missing, as is sound. But we're getting there…

Mistigram: this creepy #PETSCII illustration, depicting the mad scientist subject of the 1922 #HPLovecraft story #HerbertWestReanimator, was created by bnjmnbrgmn and included in the spooky MIST1021 artpack collection released four years ago this month.
In an underground cave laboratory, a blonde doctor in deep shadow brandishes a hypodermic syringe at an unwholesome protoplasmic mass sitting on a stainless steel countertop in front of colourful tubes of mysterious bubbling fluids.

Got interested in textmode art yesterday.
While trying to doodle something out, I somehow drew Meg from Hades.

After my recent video of the latest test build of #OutRun #PETSCII, someone suggested a dedication to the OutRun arcade team, who eventually became AM2. I've therefore added a new screen to the intro!

Playing one of my favourite Plus/4 games (besides Elite! 🫡). Digiloi. A PETSCII based game that's brilliant!! What's your favourite C16 or Plus/4 game???
