C64 Pixeling: Hires /Helmposted on: Wed, 02 Aug 2006 11:23:11 +0200
I'd like to see more scene graphician veterans let go of flicker pics and other overpowered modes and try something stylistically different in simple hi-res for once or twice too.
I understand the kick out of coders and graphicians making the c64 do amazing feats of graphical strength, but at some point I think the realization that the c64 has other aesthetic strengths based on it's restrictions more than it's hacked abilities should be in order. The c64 shouldn't try to be an amiga. There are so many awesome coders that it comes pretty darn close, but why try to be something you're not?
mcol with the widepixels and 3+1 colors per character will teach you more about Computer Aesthetics than converting boob photographs in some overpowered flicker mode ever will, and in my recent dabblings in hi-res I've found there's even more to explore aesthetically there.
