🧵 My 320 x 256 pixels intro artwork for the 1992 Amiga game Hoi.

The image was accompanied by a seven-channel tune, made in our own music editor called Digital Mugician. The seven-voice tune needed so much processor speed that my picture had to be reduced to 16 colors. 😅

You can listen to the great tune here:

Intro pixel artwork for the 1992 Amiga game Hoi, featuring the cute green main character in shallow water, looking at the viewer with an appeasing smile. He is surrounded by rocky cliffs, and the water continues to the background, which also contains far-away mountains and a stylized blue sky.

🧵 In 1992, my two dev partners and I made the first "advergame" in the Netherlands, for a 75-second national TV commercial.

In the commercial, a boy jumps into the game to get a Calvé peanut-butter jar for his girlfriend.

This is my 16-color isometric background.

A video follows in the next post.

🧵 In 1992, my two dev partners and I made the first "advergame" in the Netherlands, for a 75-second national TV commercial, and a TV show called Telekids.

In the TV show, kids could play the game to win their height in stacked Calvé peanut-butter jars. 🙂

🧵 #PixelArt for a Radarsoft point-and-click adventure, early 1990s.

Radarsoft was an early game developer in the Netherlands. The game had to run on MS-DOS PCs with CGA graphics, limited to a resolution of 320 x 200 pixels and 16 fixed colors. I used pixel patterns for the illusion of mixed colors.

Connaisseurs will recognize the #Amiga 1000 computers I depicted in some locations. 😎

Nice screenshots of locations in a point-and-click game for PCs, developed in the early 1990s. The pixel graphics are made in a low resolution and 16 colors, and depict various locations in an office building.

🧵 Proposal for an Omo laundry detergent advergame, with a fabric weave background pattern.

Made this around 1996, using Deluxe Paint (DPaint) on an Amiga 4000.

🧵 My end-of-game artwork for the 1997 Moon Child game.

I was in a transition from Deluxe Paint (Amiga) to Photoshop (Windows 95), hence the mix between dithering and actual smoothing. It looked better on a CRT screen. 😅

The image didn't make it into the game, because we decided to go for 3D animation.

🧵 A terminal I made for our 1997 Windows game Moon Child. Back then, having 256 colors at your disposal for a game was still relatively luxurious, so I had to make use of the smooth gradients that were possible. 🙂

As you can see, I used Deluxe Paint ("DPaint") on an Amiga to create this.

🧵 The last game I made with a fellow Team Hoi game developer was a China-themed 2003 platform game called Yin Hung for the Symbian mobile OS, used by several Nokia mobile phones, such as the N-Gage.

I had shifted from pixel art to 3D creation in the late 1990s, and used 3ds Max to create Yin Hung's graphics.

Four pixel art logos I made as intros to our Amiga games and demos in the early 1990s.

Some of the logos have a restricted amount of colors, to allow a visual effect behind it.

And yes, the castle logo is an obvious wink to Disney. 😉

Back then a coder and me were "The Games Department," a semi-autonomous game dev department of a Dutch media company. We created our Windows game Moon Child there.
