Kodiak64 Newsletter: December 2020

1 December 2020 · Updated 26 February 2026

The December 2020 Kodiak64 Newsletter is ready and waiting for you. If you’re already a subscriber, check your inbox — the download link should be sitting there.

This issue is packed with exclusive Parallaxian development content that won’t appear anywhere else: behind-the-scenes progress on the engine, coding techniques I’ve been using to squeeze every last cycle out of the VIC-II, and a few musings on the C64 scene as we head into the new year.

Why Subscribe?

The newsletter is the one place where I can go deep on topics without worrying about word count or whether it fits the format of a blog post. Think of it as the development diary I’d keep anyway, except I’ve cleaned it up enough that other people can actually follow along. Each issue typically covers:

Parallaxian WIP details — the gritty, technical stuff: what I’m working on, what went wrong, what worked out better than expected
6502 coding tips — practical techniques from the trenches, not textbook theory
Scene news and commentary — what’s caught my attention in the C64 world
Exclusive previews — screenshots and content you won’t see on the main site until much later, if at all

If you haven’t signed up yet, now’s a good time. The subscriber list is the only way to get these newsletters — I don’t post them publicly. Head over to the main site and drop your email in. No spam, no nonsense, just C64 content.
