Dramatic Pixels by Pers' Wastaiset Produktiot [web]

PWP PRESENTS: DRAMATIC PIXELS

An experiment in dramatic storytelling using only three big pixels.

Code, concept, design, music and coreography by Viznut.

Released for the C-64 4K intro competition of Breakpoint 2010.

As the size was closer to 1K than 4K to begin with, I've included a 1K
version (and the source code thereof) in this package as well. The 1K
version lacks the intro text and has some post-party optimizations.

Everything was made from scratch in about two days, although the idea of an
extremely minimalistic storydemo had been around for much longer, and I
already wrote down the conceptual outline a couple of months ago.

The concept of this demo also connects to my recent philosophical ponderings
about the reductivist approach to computationally minimal art.

Disclaimer: I hadn't even heard about skrju and triebkraft's recent Spectrum
256-byter named "A true story from the life of a lonely cell" before
finishing my prod. All my respect to these guys as well; it seems that great
minds indeed think alike!
