I don't often finish games, but I felt I had to make an exception for Stray. Lovely game - looks great, plays well, and just the right length for me (8 hours with plenty of time to goof around).
Here's the Atari ST demo we've released at Sommarhack with SMFX. Includes some crazy technical achievements from Tom and Spkr as the demo had to run without writing any data to the screen memory. #demoscene #atari youtu.be/z2Ke-Irp7U8?...

"The Commodore Amiga and its Undying Adoration by Anarchist Creatives" - interesting read about the (mostly Amiga, but not only) demoscene: marincomics.com/amiga-demosc... I liked the quote below about seeing technical limitations as a motivation.
Prosperity, decline, and return of Adobe Flash "When you separate the animation from the code, you are pushing away the art from the technique, and this is a problem. Flash provided the bridge: code that can work beautifully and art that can be functional."
