Naphta
Name: NAPTHA An OldSkool demo inspired by a live performance I attended and captured of "NAFT", a Belgian Live Analog Techno band. The music is based on / HEAVILY inspired by "Paroxysm" by Naft. Creator: Steffest System: Amiga OCS Runs on Amiga 500 with a 512kb memory expansion and beyond. Amiga's with a harddisk can use the exe in the "harddisk" folder directly. Released at RSYNC Demoparty 2025 Tools Used: Graphics: Based on live footage from the band "NAFT" Images where first sketched on paper and then produced in PhotoShop, including the Generative Fill tool, so I guess they are not AI free. Images were finalized and pixel optimised in Dpaint.js: https://www.stef.be/dpaint/ Some chunky-pixel animations were taken from Giphy. Music: The main theme and some samples where lifted from the song "Paroxysm" by Naft using various stem-splitting tools. The mod file was composed by hand using BassoonTracker: https://www.stef.be/bassoontracker/ The disk version of naphta uses a lower-quality compressed mod file to make it fit on a single disk and in 512k chip ram. Code: Home-cooked hardware banging C. Compiled with SAS-C on the Amiga (but written in modern editors) A big thanks to Wei-ju Wu for his YouTube series "Amiga Hardware Programming in C" which pointed me in a direction i could wrap my head around. The blitter routines are heavily based on his examples. Still bloody slow though... but boy, did I have fun. Now I understand why everybody loves the Amiga Custom chips so much.
