The vibe is: Analog Memory Sticky

The (optional) inspirational vibe for Falling Block Jam 2025 is:

📼Analog Memory📸

Pop in your favorite mixtape because we're taking a nostalgia trip to the pre-digital era. Tune in to the frequencies of the analog past and put your own spin on it, or invent a future where the cathode ray tube never died. Send us a snapshot of what the phrase "Analog Memory" means to you.

What would be some examples of analog (I immediately think of analog horror games, but I think there is more)? 

Host

Examples of analog media are vinyl records, cassette tapes, VHS tapes, photos and movies shot on film, traditional radio and TV broadcasts, and even things like printed books and newspapers. You don't necessarily have to go with horror unless that appeals to you! The idea is to be inspired by a technological past before digital media while working in a digital medium.

Showing my age here, but “Analog Memories” makes me think about those 70s and 80s anime cartoons. There were loads, and most of them had spaceships and robots.

I always liked how they incorporated those lighting effects, like the eyes glowing and the “anime gleam”. I think that was all analog, like they used cutouts and actual backlighting on film (I think?). In the end they’re just silly saturday morning cartoons, but clearly quite some effort went into these animations. And they just looked so cool 😎
