Creating Music with ProTracker?
Creating Music with ProTracker?
Anyone able to point me to some good resources on creating music with ProTracker? I haven't really found much as far as not having any prior music knowledge, and using that particular Amiga program.
Where could I find a CRT Monitor in Eugene?
Is it just me or do a LOT of cats seem to go missing in Eugene?

I just feel bad for all the poor cats 🥺
@punkisundead absolutely opposed to it. From my experiences in the local activist scene which tends to emphasize left unity, it's especially shitty as an anarchist to be talked down because of my issues with tons of hierarchy and abuse in those orgs because "we've gotta have left unity". The only solution I can think of is to split off and commit to anarchist principles, knowing that it will alienate many.
@ICastFist
I would treat every indie game as basically a lottery ticket. Keep making more fun games until you get lucky.
@ICastFist
I would argue that "zero-skill" games can have charm if they're still fun or creative. Perhaps I'm a bit biased though as a beginner gamedev who doesn't have much skill outside of programming though.
@bikesarethefuture
That I'll actually finish it
@Ategon
When you think your game's scope is small, it isn't. Keep scoping as tiny as possible so you could finish your game in a week or two
@Ategon
The most essential personally would be the C programming language and vim. After all, it's what I'm most comfortable with
@Justdaveisfine I would say yeah! Especially send it out to those who specialize in something niche that applies to your game (like linux gaming or retro-style games)
It doesn't hurt to send your game out, especially to independent reviewers.
@nexusnovaz I recommend at-least checking out the official documentation.
@nexusnovaz I generally like SDL, and would personally recommend it
Here have a little preview of The Sun Gem
[Now Released] Here have a little preview of The Sun Gem
an upcoming choose your own adventure game I'm working on for the #Commodore64 as part of a game jam
Some things I learned when making this:
- It's better to make smaller games, as my last game was a more complex one that I couldn't finish
- Developing for a retro computer is easier when you don't use a game engine (luckily I don't really like working with game engines anyways)
Edit: I released the game! Check it out here!

@sirdorius @Ategon I think it's just that discussion about it happens on the fediverse, and it was started by some people on the fediverse. Otherwise there doesn't seem to be anything special about it.
I made a horrible mistake with my first game
I made a horrible mistake with my first game
So for context: I'm a programmer and I like the idea of not using a game engine, but I have no real prior experience with game development specifically.
I thought it was a good idea to make a text adventure game (think Zork) in C, since the language offers great portability, including the ability to run code on the 6502. Also a text adventure game made sense because I can't make art and idk anyone else who wanted to work on a game with me.
This was a terrible idea for a few reasons:
- A text adventure game is impossible to make with a small scope
- My from-scratch engine wasn't really designed with modifying the game data mid-development in mind
- I have no clue what I'm doing.
I just don't know what to do now. Any ideas? @gamedev
@codeisspeech
Odysee kinda sucks ngl. All my fav creators left because of the community there being so toxic.
@ArkyonVeil
Very interesting read!
@LukeSky53
Yeah kinda sus 👀
@CookieJarObserver
If I were to guess, the reason comes down to pseudonymity (or anonymity if it accepts Monero).
@Vitaly
Speaking for myself, I use quad9 for DNS
@Vitaly
Then yeah you're probably good actually.
Nope! The server provider will definitely be monitoring your activity and probably will report you for torrenting. VPNs shift trust, even self-hosted ones. Do you trust Amazon AWS or Google Cloud or whatever provider you're using? I certainly hope not.

Ok so, I have a little Kodi setup which includes a live tv system hooked up to Pluto so I can grab a bunch of channels for free. Turns out, this includes not one, but two whole channels of just Star Trek!
The first one is mostly TNG and the original series, and the other one ("creatively" called More Star Trek) has mainly Voyager and Deep Space Nine. I like these because I don't even have to think about what episode to watch, and can just enjoy some Star Trek!
The only downside to this is well, ads lol
