Evoke 2024 demo for Nintendo 3DS
About the music: I did chop a 3 second loop from a track of the music producer Posij and re-shuffled the order.
Please check him out and buy his music on Juno Download if you like.
All other samples are oneshots or classic breaks.
First, apologies for the messy structure, I was sweating crazy to even get the demo done in time as I explored what is even possible. Definitely not an example or good practice to go by.
Since I am a demo-making noob, I re-used existing code from The Demo Effects Collection from W.P. can Paasen.
Namely the plasma effect and the font image.
The original code used SDL but I made it output to a native 16bit framebuffer instead that is sent to the GPU.
Secondly, I copied and re-used a few files from Raccoons ate my ticket from SVatG's Nordlicht invite demo of last year. In fact this demo is what made me decide to come to evoke and re-discover the demo scene that I had forgotten about for some 25 years. Check out my old FT2 chiptunes while you are at it.
Yes, copied the Tools/VectorLibrary and the soundtrack/minivorbis for playing the ogg file.
If you, like me, use linux and qtcreator then you are good to go.
Otherwise you'll have to manage on you own.
Depends on devkitpro.
I saw negative comments about the demo being an add.
So far you would sign up an pay 1 Euro to be able to install the app.
But I have decided to provide a special Evoke release for some limited time that is completely free so people can try it without signing into patreon.
That may take some psychological pressure of my conscience.
I was super stoked to meet some SVatG members on site: PoroCYon, RaccoonViolet and SagaMusix (maintainer of OpenMPT, didn't know that before :D ).
Thanks for your kindness!
