Welcome back! 😎
I decided to re-register an account to enjoy the memes of our 1990s #MoonChild game. 😁👍
I designed Hoi and Moon Child. Reinier van Vliet coded it, and Ramon Braumuller made the soundtrack.

Big update for Moon Child. Metin found some of his original sketches and drawings. They'll be added to the full archive on the internet archive but you can check some of them out on Metin's socials

Wonderful exhibit with original cells, drawings and background paintings from The Secret of Nimph at The Art Department.
Very excited to be back at TAD Playgrounds in Eindhoven tomorrow. Always such a delight to see amazing digital artists, animators and designers and the wonderful talks. If you're attending come say hi at our Sound & Vision stand to play some games and chat about archived materials in your own work!

My written review for PRAGMATA for those who prefer that sort of thing.

PRAGMATA is so fresh. A throwback to the era when experimentation reigned in AAA game development. The combat never gets dull with plenty of variety in both your options and interaction. I had a great time with the game on Switch 2. My review for @nintendonwr.bsky.social :

I was asked by Metin, one of the devs of Moon Child, to share a link to the full game playable in Browser with the finalized music:

Additionally here is a link to the full Archive with all downloads, videos and the music files.

Team Hoi also worked on the oft forgotten Calvé Peanut Butter Power Game. Which was used as a gameshow title for Telekids where if you won you would win your length in jars of Peanut Butter. Currently lost media, aside from this commercial with Lieke van Lexmond: youtu.be/l_dRFtWq3uo
Metin did a great thread on Moon Child over on Mastodon if you're interested:

Such fun to see Moon Child go viral. It was developed by Team Hoi, based in the Netherlands. Metin Seven, one of the founders of published almost all of his archive online a few years back. He's been such a great help for our games archive at Sound & Vision as well:

Via deze route ben ik ook blij om aan te kondigen dat ik sinds vorig jaar ben toegetreden als extern bestuurslid voor de stichting @vierkante-ogen.nl . Ik hoop met mijn culturele expertise en netwerk de stichting te kunnen helpen om orde te scheppen in de digitale chaos!

Can't say enough lovely things about the wonderful photos @tomkauw.nl made. So don't be shocked that my profile looks a tad different, but it was really time to update my photo.
Correct! Had to use EQ twice in a row since my Gliscor didn't have any other attacking moves.
