ITs History!

The ZX Spectrum was launched 1983 as #Timex Sinclair 2068 computer on the US market. With a #Z80A CPU running on 3.5 MHz this beautiful #homecomputer was capable to draw electric images on a regular telly. With a resolution of 256×192 #pixels even limited to 15 colours it was great for the budget.

Print'n'Plotter sold their #graphics software under the same product name #Paintbox like #Quantel, but for #Sinclair #homecomputers. While #colourClash was a serious limitation in the 80s, it's a #8bit #cgi #glitch effect today available in smartphone camera apps.

Our #vector #graphic #illustration of this legendary #retrocomputer is a form of #digital #lithography. #IT's made in #svg tech and created with #Inkscape, not #Adobe #Illustrator #Ai

Did another Inkscape vs. Illustrator test and while for me Potrace (which is what Inkscape uses) outperforms Illustrator on b&w / lineart drawings, Illustrator does win the full-colour battle.

Basically Illustrator is more accurate, better capturing the details, while Inkscape is a bit glitchy and looses some destails.

This is made using 16 colours for both pieces of software, tweaking the settings to get the best possible result.

Succesfully completed the #7DRL challenge.

I made a weird *takes deep tag-breath* #abstract #vector #roguelike #psychedelic #puzzle #arcade #game that feels all #trippy and Jeff Minteresque. So far people have been calling it "puzzling but strangely addictive".

I'm very proud of the way it looks, sounds and feels, and I really feel I've leveled up as a #gamedev in the process.

Might also be nice to mention I made it in #panda3d , the best game engine in the world.

Illustrator vs. Inkscape
Image tracing match

I had to vectorize an illustration I have made for a client, and first tried Illustrator, with really poor results (as you can see below), and this despite trying every possible combination of settings. I just never looked even halfway decent.
Then I tried #inkscape and to my surprise it produced an excellent result, even with the default settings!
Ok… I shouldn't be surprised actually 😀

I love watching other artist's #process videos and I finally managed to do something similar for „Wolf Witch“, that I posted last week!

It's just a video (made in #Blender because I know how 😹) of the different versions I saved while working on it.

Do you enjoy watching videos like this? Anything you'd change?
