The weekly Atari party heartbeat continues. This weekend 68k Inside took place in the woods of Finland, rather Amiga focused, but still brought three new Atari ST/E releases as well.
Marquee Design released a stunning 256 Byte intro named "Ground Zero" for ST.
Amazing what Superogue did there again.
For those interesting in the magic behind the intro, Superogue just published a writeup about the making of this entry on his blog.
Also PO1/Ribbon is Back which is always are reason for excitement. This time he teamed up with HOffman who contributed music sample sequences for the little production "Maximum Joker". This is yet another episode of the cross platform Batman/Joker/Rotozoom battle. In the Atari realm this challenge has been massively pushed by Django the Bastard and here we find another interesting variant. As to expect, the music sounds great, very great actually, and also the new zoomer looks good. But the technical finesse has to be judged elsewhere. The demo ranked a proud second place in the demo compo.
There is a little aftertaste to "Maximum Joker", as the demo is reported to only work on emulators and not work on real hardware (yet).
Furthermore DHS, smfx and Paradox teamed up for a quick Atari STE Sommarhack 2026 reminder featuring a nice new oscilloscope 3D effect. So, if time between BBQ and beergardening allows, sharpen your Atari tools and get ready to bake something for Sommarhack 2026 in July 2026!
Similarly to "Maximum Joker", this is one of these kind of screens that make your STE feel more confident.
Finally, as an honorable mention, a remarkable piece of pixelart has been published on 68k Inside.ย This both expressive and mysterious picture by Jok/Dreamweb just hit.
"No Rest for the Wicked", great pixelart by Jok/Dreamweb
