New games every week!
Aminet Quirk Blog
21st May 2022
Over the last couple of months I noticed that Aminet only seems to pick up new uploads the next day, so at midnight last night I uploaded Blockman Gets, giving myself the rest of today to organise the Youtube video and do all the uploading here, itch.io, and otherwise.

Uhoh!!!

Looks like Aminet does a periodical upload check!
Blockman Gets is already live on their server, so now I have to rush about capturing that video footage.

The past couple of games I used WinUAE on the "Mac Mini that pretends to be Windows", but it's incredibly dumb having to sit at the PC just to record footage of an Amiga game, that can then be edited on the Mac.
Especially since it's always in an .avi format that the Mac can't cope with, so I also need to convert it along the way, too.

Instead, I figured I'd use the Mac with an Amiga Emulator to record the footage.

But, NO... It's not having that.
I can capture video, but not audio.
Because ... Mac!!

Last night I fiddle with various dongles.
I have a tiny little USB mic connector, and a few Stereo-To-Stereo headphone connector things, and with wires wrapping from one side of the MacBook Air to the other, I can now capture audio from the system.
.. Albeit delayed a few frames.

But it's close enough.

Today, then, I'll be capturing that video properly, making the YouTube thing, uploading that, then uploading all the other stuff here and to itch.io and so on.

|The SmileBASIC game for this week will be delayed until Sunday. It's meant to be a "Happy 3rd birthday : SmileBASIC" game, and that's not until Monday, so..
.. yeah..

Right, hop to it, Jay!
