I started working on Bazik in 2014 because I couldn’t find software that was simple and accessible to bring my video mappings to life with a nice audio reactive.
For 2 years, driven by enthusiastic users feedbacks, I improved the software to the point where I “got the job done”. You should know that developing PC & MAC software alone is a hell of a job, and I was satisfied with the result. A simple and powerful tool, with its own style.
Seeing over the years new talented developers and new teams coming up with software, I told myself that Bazik had inspired people, and that others would do better soon.
The only thing I regretted about the technology I was using was the difficulty in integrating user-created content and update the software. Indeed, C ++ is very powerful, but it is a compiled language, so it is complicated to load external files. I had found a solution with GLSL Shaders but it must be admitted that it is not at all intuitive to use, even with a good technical skill.
Now in 2021, I realize that Bazik is still in use, and that there is no convincing alternative. So to take up the project as a challenge, I’m going to try a new approach, with a new language. I hope that it will give a new relevant tool, in the same philosophy, but in a renewed style and with the possibility of easily adding content.
After one year far of the project, it’s time to work again on this fantastic software.
After one year far from the project, it is with pleasure that I am going to rededicate time to this great software. Thanks to all those who help me, thanks to them returns and thanks to every happy users of Bazik.
I try hard to answer all the questions and to propose the best possible experience.
It is time to work on improvements to Bazik, and work will start soon.
Users can not imagine how Bazik has evolved with this new version. A totally new architecture to be fully cross-compatible.
Yes, now it’s done, Bazik is running on Windows. And the new version 1.10 is available for Mac & Pc, direct to the homepage. No demo version, with this version you can activate directly after buy by enter the license key. Copy & Paste key has been added to be more friendly.
