Can you please add Jummbox? Hasn't been in a major since it was introduced iirc. I'd ask for s3xmodit but that's probably not going to happen

157236

Oh yes, jummbox would be great, not that I expect it to be here. I have quite the proficiency with it. I'm probs gonna tackle Adlib or TG16 first then move from there

(turns out it didn't quite go that way but whatevs)

157237

WOOO!!!! WOO ! WOO!

157239

157246

alright, can't promise I'll do every format this time, but these are on my mind right now

[

] ted
[] tia
[

] chipbattle_art
[] ansi

157247

Are you exited for summer chip or is that a jellyfish in yer pants?

157248

The Goals:

- Atari Pokey x2
- maybe Wild Chip if I have the time, 2 months should be plenty and i'm almost done with my finals

157253

Okay, time to make commitments...

[ ] Genesis
[ ] NSFPlus

[ ] Gameboy?
[ ] AY-3?
[ ] Battle art?

[ ] C64???
[ ] PCE???
[ ] ASCII/ANSI???

157262

[] spitting words in comments

157263

Aside from Jummbox, XG would be nice, too.

157265

I would love to have bytebeat again. It is my super favorite and I have a toolbox of methods that make it actually a very nice creative medium. I really wanted to share some of those and see if anyone else would be able to recycle them into something cool.

157266

Hmmm… 🤔
Okay!!

[👍🏻] NSF+
[👍🏻] TIA
[👍🏻] Gameboyd
[👍🏻] PCE/TurboGrafx 16

Gonna have to stop there unfortunately, but I’m happy with what I’ve accomplished!

157295

I'm going to make this major the major of learning where I try and tackle a bunch of formats I've never done or was too afraid to do like NSF / Gameboy etc.

Should be an interesting time.

My laundry list of formats to attempt (don't expect to do them all but let's just see)

In Progress:
Adlib
Sega

Done:
AYM-3
Gameboy
MT32
NSF (Collab)
64K

Considering:
PC-98

Not Doing (due to time and burnout approaching):
PC Engine
Fakebit
Wildchip

157306

>:)

157307

man i have to get my brain going again 😔

157311

the placing above me too

157323

hmmm for summer chip i think i will make music for summer chip. i think that would be prudent

157331

( ) sap x 2
then
( ) probably something I haven't done a major maybe?

edit: well dang

157363

Time to not plagiarize as much

FakeButt [B]
NES+ [+]
SNES [ ]
Wild_Things [w]

157371

NSF+ [ ] gotta explore

157376

[x]something

157440

NSF quickly done. Actually taking vacation to find inspiration

[x] Nes
[] SMS
[] NeoGeo
[] Try something new

157514

In progress:
[X] Megadrive -- doin' something dark and edm-ish based on an unfinished ohb
[ ] Gameboy -- got some fast WIP going.
[ ] Wildchip -- 8 BIT SYMPHONY!
[ ] SID -- Sad w/ hpf?
[ ] Adlib -- Dat bass! Currently too much pipe organ?

Maybe:
[ ] NSF -- maybe?

157583

wishlish rn:
aym
mt-32
nsf+
and sgen
at the least i will try have one of the formats submitted as im really busy at the moment :(

157749

~~yo, i probably should've offered this earlier but if anyone wants a hardware render for their SNES entry, let me know and i'll add one!~~

edit: well crap, maybe not, i can't get my everdrive to recognize any SD card anymore???

157869

anymoredrive to recognize SD card ever

158360

maybe will do one of these: adlib, snes, fakebit, pcx, 64/48k, pxtobe

158449

why can't i submit bytebeat format

158450

neither bytebeat nor bytebeat1k are currently allowed formats for this major compo :3 although formats might be added to a compo mid-compo :O

158451

why cant i submit channelf format

158593

let me be the first to say that a 1week+ extension would be highly welcome... i have many irons in the fire, most of which i'm excited about and really want to finish in time

climate's changing, summers are only getting longer! #ExtendSummerChipXII

also, since it didn't get mentioned already, 4 new formats were added: bytebeat, s3xmodit, vic20, and channel f

they deserve their time in the hot summer sun! #ExtendSummerChipXII

... plz : )

158594

expand

158604

I've got a great track brewing but I'm also playing Gameboy music in a community theatre
production this week (Philadelphia if you're local!) and it could be a little hairy! an extra week would be *chef's kiss*

158620

i make an entry

maybe makeding more

158630

nsf and sgen done time for me til fill in the aym :D

158719

made little progress, i guess i could use an exntendog

158729

this compo needs expansion chips aaaaaaaaaaa

158731

upgrade the compo to autumn

158740

i didn't want to extend the end of the battle

but i did finally figure out how to allow voting during an entry period

so once a major hits 56 entries you can vort now

so HERE'S ANOTHER WEEK of ENTRY

so start vorting

or keep working on your entries

\:D/

158763

this is an amazing feature. thank you so much

158764

thank you very much puke!!~~
to celebrate now i am listening to melt-banana and writing a PCE hmmm....

158765

very lovely QoL puke :D
also my expectation exceeded i made a PCE track lmao

just gonna wait for myself to get a lighter and light my inspirational power on fire again >:)

158791

Ahhhh fantastic!! Thanks a lot puke!!

159167

this is an unpopular opinion but i need another extension lol

159168

voting against one, even tho i need more time hehehe

159171

We've had 60 days.... I think that's already way too generous lol.
Even with all that time, I was only able to do one entry, RIP

159173

another week lol?
this would leave 2 weeks for vorting?

159174

we can vort right now!!

159181

I like extension cuz im finally not working/playing shows or food poisoned, whatever that's worth lol

159182

[☀️] 64k
[☀️] 48k
[☀️] pc98
[☀️] s3xmodit
[☀️] adlib
[❌] snes
[❌] aym

159210

lol I was happy with my first entry and then realized when I went to submit it the first time that there was no bytebeat. Then I went and shared it somewhere so it was DQ'd when bytebeat was finally added.

I was going to say I wouldn't mind an extension but I just now listened to kleeder's incredibly awesome entry and that has cured me of all competitiveness

I guess the point of 1k is to make people write actual formulas, which is what I am best at, so I'm sure I will have fun with winter chip.

159217

am i the only completionist this time? wow...

159224

Finally couldn't make it on time. Guess I'll keep the entry in progress for next year, maybe.

159241

Just realized, this is the highest number of entries in a Summer Chip compo, beating SCXI by 23(!!)
idk I thought that was cool!

159246

https://battleofthebits.com/lyceum/View/Battle#Stats

by 22. the battle now displays a wrong number of entries due to hidden accs, it had 300 entries total

159398

christ x____x thats so many entries

159541

my entry might not have much votes because it's on the very bottom of the entry list.

159542

entries which you cannot vote on (either bc they're yours, or because you already voted on them yourself) all appear at the bottom for you specifically, not for everyone though

159544

good advice

159546

I forgot this comment section existed

159823

6 DAYS left! @ Major Battol!!! I suggest you R teh V0rting !!!! :: SUMMER CHIP XII ::

159824

having finished processing my raw harvested late-summer vortium a couple days ago, i gotta say this is one insanely stacked compo and i look forward to seeing the results on stream soon!

159826

I moved the results to Sunday.

There will be a stream! :D/

160290

Bruh seeing y’all with your big checklists intimidates me lol.
I just did Fakebit and wildchip because too lazy

160296

i am scared

160360

@NardInYourYard mine one was for motivating, not intimidating! ;D (see how small it is, just one line! ;) )
@A64 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AU1wIOzbiOo

160377

where mine at in the stream?

160381

Average Score: 22.886

160382

æ

160383

I was amazed how many BotBrs were on the website earlier, which I remember counting as 37 or 38, and suspected was due to everyone checking their results.

160404

damn i wasnt expecting this good of a feedback from yall here on my stuffs
im happy with dem results and looking forward to winter chip!! >:0

160413

I am surprised with the loss of World Incinerator and the win of Escape From Proprietary

163579

the black week has nearly ended and the dark gods of commerce have yet to be sated. you know what to do
