• 💁🏻‍♀️The EXPI post-mortem is available, with tons of info and details about how we made EXPI, some of the challenges we faced, esp. with regard to CPU usage and compression.

• demo JavaScript 10 Circles by blinry [web] & winniehell [web]
• Good concept, I like the idea of the visual and musical winks to other prods but with the minimalist style it makes for a very wild/random ride. I feel that a consistent musical style would have served the demo much better.

• Thank you for the nice and more critical comments 🙇🏻
  
  
  @Starchaser: EXPI exhibits real JPG corruption.
  To do that, every few frames we encode the Canvas to JPEG, corrupt some bytes in synch with music, and set the corrupted JPEG as background of the Canvas. This highlights the difference of image codecs between browsers and how they deal with corrupted images in a beautiful/artsy manner or less so.
  
  
  @Navis: Thank you. I see how it can be hard to gauge 1kb vs 256b and 4kb intros. Here's my own impression of the categories. Take this with a handful of salt.
  
  
  
  • 256b is ruthless, and something inevitably has got to give in the visuals, music or direction department.
    
  • 4kb is big enough, and have enough tooling, that one can achieve pretty much any kind of visuals and sound they want with 1-3 different scenes. Not saying it is easy at all. On the contrary. This raises the bar so much higher and gives room for beautiful mini demos, with a story and tons of details calling for a thousand viewing to discover.
    
  • 1kb is the sweet spot where you can start to do something interesting in terms of visuals, sound and direction, but it's hard. There are no tools apart for the packers, yet people expect "hints" of 4kb intros but with far, far less space to achieve.
    
  
  
  Looking at 1kb intros on modern platforms, what we tend to see is:
  
  
  
  • visuals = 900-1400 bytes of GLSL or some simple shapes and/or emojis rendered in a single buffer with 1-2 parameters with linear camera movement or rotation
    
  • music = A drone and some Midi notes for native entries, some byte-beat for JavaScript
    
  • direction = A few scene cuts (same scene, different angle/position) and one surprise/show element
    
  
  They rarely feature any post-processing beside vignetting, more elaborated camera, composed music, text, voices, "story", perfectly synchronized music & visuals, multiple scenes, ...
  
  
  Sorry for the long comment, and I hope I'm not putting my foot too far into my own mouth.
  Happy to read other impressions/opinions about the 1kb category, bar, and expectations, ...

• ✊🏻 Great Pico-8 demo!
  
  Glad my triangle rasterizer is useful. Doesn't have subpixel, but as far as I know it remains the fastest and smallest, which can come handy considering the constraint of the platform.

  The characters did a lot, and the fractured sphere was cool.

• demo JavaScript Mundane Institute by mikucom
• Another great MIKUCOM demo! Smooth, mellow, stylish, nicely nudging late 90s, early 2000's prods from Replay, Blasphemy, ... but going its own direction!
  
  Well done! The music works great! The visuals are really on point (pheewww that blur must be a PITA to pull smoothly... or you guys bake the blured textures).
  
  Love the winks to previous/older prods 🙂
  
  TOP QUALITY MIKUCOM
