Our text-mode demo Dansa In is showing today at the UCLA Game Art Festival in Los Angeles. 44 kilobytes is enough to tell a good story, aiit?
A story with pirates, sloths and sex told completely in text graphics. A blocky and brutal visual aesthetic synchronized with explosives, drunken funk and computer screams. All made in 44 kilobytes, to be executed by a Commodore 64 and its colourful ASCII-alternative called PETSCII. Visuals by Raquel Meyers, audio by Goto80 and coding by Johan Kotlinski.

Fax & Frankering for Folket by Jacob Sikker Remin, Raquel Meyers, and Goto80 (2011, DEMOTEKET). Otherworldly transmissions with genuine, 20th-century technology defects.
Most images were made by Raquel Meyers using Commodore 64 text graphics. Others were sent in via the open fax line, mostly by anonymous senders. Jacob Sikker Remin and Goto80 worked on the project with music and other fax aspects. The music was improvised live on C64. The collection is available as a 65-page book and viewable on Tumblr / Flickr.
