📰 C64GFX Newsletter — May 2025
Welcome back, pixel fans! As the summer scene action heats up, here’s what’s going on at C64GFX this month...
Behind the scenes, a lot of improvements being made to both the offline and online code for the site.
I've also been focusing on SIDBlaster (name change pending), a new tool under development for adding visualisers to SID tunes - and for relocating them.

🎨 Just 6 Weeks Left — CharSet Logo Compo!
Our CharSet Logo Compo is still live — but we’re down to the final 6 weeks! If you've been thinking about entering, now’s the time to start sketching. Rules, details, and entries so far are all over on the compo page.
💰 Huge Thanks to “astaroth”
A quick shoutout to astaroth for the recent donation! Keeping C64GFX running takes time and cake money, so every coin tossed our way is hugely appreciated. If you'd like to support the site, just click the little “Insert Coin” button on any page ❤️
🛠 Help Us Improve
🔧 Suggest Fixes:
Spot a missing artist credit, a mistagged image, or a dodgy screenshot? Hit the “Suggest Changes” button! You can even attach an image. These go straight into our inbox and usually get addressed the same day.
📈 Grow the Database:
Know a demo or production we’re missing? Have local art files you'd love to share? Drop us a line — we’re always on the lookout for more amazing content to archive and showcase.
💻 Help With Development:
I'm not a web developer by trade — more of a C++ and assembler kind of guy. If you're a front-end or full-stack dev with time and curiosity, let’s chat! We could use your help improving site features and fixing the rough edges.
💸 Support the Site:
We’ve added a donation system to help keep things running. Hosting, storage, and several key features rely on paid services:
Netlify, AWS, Clerk, MongoDB, Web3Forms, Font Awesome — the list goes on. If you’re enjoying the site, even a small donation makes a big difference. Thank you! 🙏
📬 Until Next Time
We’re aiming to send out a new newsletter every month or so. If you’ve got feedback, ideas, or pixel-art news to share — just reply!
Thanks again for being part of the scene 💾
