🧵 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.

My 640 x 480 pixels title picture for the 1997 Moon Child Windows game.

I was in a transition from Deluxe Paint (Amiga) to Photoshop (Windows 95).

I made a different title image for the final release, but this is still my favorite.

My graphics for the Venom Wing Amiga shoot-em-up game, released in 1990 by the British Thalamus game publisher.

I've always recognized a caricature of Margaret Thatcher in the bottom left of the cliff. 😃

🧵 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. 😉

🧵 Pixel art icons I made in the mid-1990s.

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.
