For sharing impressive stuff done with computers - all things demo, intro, cracktro, keygen music, etc.

Algorithmically created art, programming craftsmanship with old and new hardware.

So far the only rules are do not be an arse, posts should be related to the community itself or relevant content - and mark potentially NSFW stuff as such.

ReadMe.txt:

Name: NAPTHA

An OoldSkool demo inspired by a live performance I attended and captured of "NAFT", a Belgian Live Analog Techno band.

The main song is based on "Paroxysm" by Naft.

Creator: Steffest
System: Amiga OCS
Runs on Amiga 500 with a 512kb memory expansion and beyond.
Amiga's with a harddisk can use the exe in the "harddisk" folder directly.

Released at RSYNC Demoparty 2025

Tools Used:

Graphics: 
Based on live footage from the band "NAFT"
Images where first sketched on paper and then produced in PhotoShop, including the Generative Fill tool, so I guess they are not AI free.
Images were finalized and pixel optimised in Dpaint.js: https://www.stef.be/dpaint/
Some chunky-pixel animations were taken from Giphy.

Music:
The main theme and some samples where lifted from the song "Paroxysm" by Naft using various stem-splitting tools.
The mod file was composed by hand using BassoonTracker: https://www.stef.be/bassoontracker/
The disk version of naphta uses a lower-quality compressed mod file to make it fit on a single disk and in 512k chip ram.

Code:
Home-cooked hardware banging C.
Compiled with SAS-C on the Amiga (but written in modern editors)
A big thanks to Wei-ju Wu for his YouTube series "Amiga Hardware Programming in C" which pointed me in a direction i could wrap my head around.
The blitter routines are heavily based on his examples.
Still bloody slow though... but boy, did I have fun.
Now I understand why everybody loves the Amiga Custom chips so much.
