new steam controller looks great

Angels in the static snow

Looking forward to that! Me & my brother played the Amiga version a bit after Moon Child/Hoi blew up on Bluesky. Still fun! :)

In 1993, we traveled to Denmark for "The Party", a large demoscene event. We were creating the Amiga version of MC. I made a drawing for our table, showing Moon Child keeping Sonic from running. I don't have the drawing anymore. Maybe one of the cool artists on Bluesky would like to recreate it? 🙂

Trump is the new Fidel Castro in that hundreds of people will throw themselves at him to free us of his reign only for him to survive every single attempt due to pure incompetence

I guess you have to actually make a hit to get more concurrents

We got open source moon child and now we're getting open source hoi These guys really are for the people.

BALLOONS!! (really wish this were a feature on this site too lol)

So the story WAS true after all @seven.eurosky.social #moonchild #wotalab

A little animated mockup of the workers in Hoi level 2, late 1990 or early 1991. 🙂

yesterday me

this took way longer to do than it looks 😭😭😭

In Moon Child’s background story, he travels from the moon to a nearby planet, to save it from an evil techno-virus destroying nature. If there ever will be a sequel, my story will be Moon Child needing to return to the moon to prevent an evil billionaire called Enol Skum from industrialising it. 🤡

My Hoi game intro pic originally used the Amiga's "Half-Brite" mode for 64 colors. But @ramonbraumuller.eurosky.social's 7-channel intro music ate a lot of CPU power, so @reiniervanvliet.eurosky.social asked me to reduce the colors to 32 first, and ultimately to 16 colors, hence the harsh sky. 🥲

"WE ARE THE HOILINGS! PLEASE FEED US!!"

They’re so cute… 🥺

the best part about moon child and hoi becoming a meme to me is that it now just has a genuine fandom full of dorks like me that have an interest in old computer games

The whole "Moon Child" thing just proves what I've been saying for years - bring back club/dance music in videogames! Idk why we collectively abandoned that just because the 90s were over.

It's #MoonChild! Made of le-eg-go! You've got the power to build him, friend @seven.eurosky.social

Everything about the Moon Child Revolution brings me so much joy. European computer games like those are like a macrocosm of what I love about European chiptune, with every aspect of them bursting with beautiful demoscene maximalism. They're the ultimate example of programming as an art form.

Decided to join the other Team Hoi members here on Bluesky! Thanks to Metin, I've seen wonderful Moonchild love from the community. Thank you all! ❤️

Making progress on the Hoi conversion. Hoi is now restored in it's full green glory. We have some objects and some interactions. Still a lot to work on, it glitches and crashes a lot. 🫣 Tomorrow I'll continue on the quest for pixel perfectness.

Started porting our old game Hoi from Amiga code to a more portable format so it can be run 'anywhere'. As you can see, not there yet! 😅 Debugging this stuff is pretty tricky but fun! Hopefully it get's into something playable / useful at some point. 🙏

drew what it looks like to look at the sun for a split second then shut your eyes

Okay okay, we can't do Moon Child on Switch due to some internal disagreements, so how do we feel about HOI? Yay or nay?

The power level is too true, please call the Moon Child

hoi is awesome

has anybody drawn the hoigirl yet

unironically moonchild would be something that'd be turned into a sonic game by bootleggers kinda like that speedy gonzales game

what if you had to power to be that one blue hedgehog's friend instead

BABY ON BOARD

smol :)

love how they subverted the usual species gender swap tropes by literally just making the female Hoi the same as the male Hoi, except wearing a wig and lipstick. No exaggerated body types or anything. Now that's equality
