That's my favorite C64 work, I think. I drew everything by hand, though the reviews I read just assumed they were scanned. Fact is we had the original bitmaps but to make them work on the C64 would have been MORE work than just drawing them from scratch. Yeah, very pleased with how that turned out
There's no overlap at all. The Remix album features artists who worked with Jeff in the past, plus some Tony Longworth HoN stuff, while the Soundtrack is what you'd expect - 74 mins of music from the movie.

Photograph of Jeff Minter with text superimposed: “...what I love about working with Jeff is that he does it for the pure love of doing it. And that comes across in any interaction that you have with him. It always comes down to the core of what's being made and the artistic vision of it. ….that's just a great skill to have in this industry... to not be distracted by all the superfluous things, all the artifice ” Wade Rosen, CEO of Atari HEART OF NEON A Film About A Life In Video Games.

A photo of Jeff Minter with text superimposed: "'the thing about Jeff that I admire most is his singular voice and no compromise for that. He did what he wanted to do for four decades. He didn't do it for anybody else. He'd occasionally do something for Atari and do whatever, but it was still on his terms. And that's unprecedented, especially for this long.

You just can't say, I'm doing this for the business and the business is great and that's all I care about. You really have to care about raising the bar each time. I think Jeff does that.'

A photo of Jeff Minter with superimposed text: “ a lot of people consider ...video games should be free. And so developers have to resort to either chucking ads in everything or making it so that it's all constantly trying to milk the player for more and more consumables. You've got to keep paying and paying and paying to play the game. And to me, that is abomination. I'll never go down that route.” HEART OF NEON A Film About A Life In Video Games.

I've followed the making of this film for over a year - so excited to see it. You don't need to know about #jeffminter or his games to get something from this - his legend is about being a hippy in a corporate world, and getting to do something he loves.
![Photo of Jeff Minter at his desk, with superimposed text: “He's never given up on game design as a discipline, as a vocation. It's all very much work, but it is this peaceful kind of compromise.
[Jeff’s attitude is] this is going to be the work, but I'm only going to agree to do this amount of work for something that I really love.
I mean, to me, that's the ideal expression of what video games are ...turning mathematics into something you can feel.”
