Ten years ago, I made my first parallax-scrolling ANSI art animation. Today I cleaned it up, made it smoother and added titles and credits.

The original was a user-controllable tech demo I made for my late daughter Jadzia on our BBS, "Guardian of Forever."

tinkering with an image to #textmode filter

as much as possible im trying to follow ANSI rules. Its an interesting process, so im having to get smarter with how characters are chosen for each tile to preserve edges.

Making artwork for my fantasy console. This will be the screen where you load a game cassette. It shows a textmode image of the console with a mini version of the splash screen. #screenshotstaurday #indiegame #gamedev #javascript
A retro style console. Reminiscent of the og gameboy with a vertical screen like a phone and a pink lower half where the controls are. The screen shows a blue scene with the console name in white and yellow reading Beep Mini

not sure why this in particular gave me the thought, but i'm suddenly imagining a textmode game (roguelike? something else?) with extremely abstracted and stylized worlds, not even remotely trying to present itself as a tangible constructed space
