Around 2001, I worked on an animated children's TV series called TattleToons, featuring digital themes and characters, with names like Browser, Bug and Dotcom. The stories were interactively influenced by kids via a Web interface, which was a novelty.
TattleToons won an EMMA award in Cannes, and was featured in Time magazine, March 2001.

A super-short animation cycle to test my bee animation for the Hoi Amiga game, made back in late 1990 or early 1991. 🙂

Een vriend van me, die ook elektronische muziek maakt, is ooit een hele dag met ze opgetrokken toen ze in Amsterdam waren. Zal rond 1990 / 1991 zijn geweest, toen we nog regelmatig naar de underground House-boot Subtopia uit gingen, achter Amsterdam CS indertijd. Good times. ❤️

Yeah, the GPL license might benefit from being more specific for such cases. The much-used Quad Remesher uses this add-on construction for years now, so I assume it's legit, otherwise the Blender Foundation would have taken action.
Chisel is a single-dev project by a real coder, no vibe coder, and the external module is necessary to retain performance in Blender when working with more than ± 30 SDF shapes and operations.

Gritty old VHS recording of a short pixel animation I made around 1994 for De Bezige Bij, a Dutch book publisher. It was a rush job with a tight deadline, hence the 2D-style turnarounds of the bee. The logo in the book at the end is the publisher's logo.
I created this using Deluxe Paint (a.k.a. "DPaint") on an Amiga. The music was made by my game development partner at the time: Ramon Braumuller, and I made the bee's buzzing sounds. 🙂

Last night I dreamt some guy hijacked a tram, managed to get it off the rails, and started racing through town. So my dad and I ran to the roller coaster train of a local amusement park, jumped into the front cart, which had a steering-wheel, also got it off the rails, and started chasing the tram. 😆

"AI companies are falling over themselves once again, calling for their own regulation because, you know, they could accidentally end all mankind.
If you actually thought your product will kill all humans, then you could, you know, like, just stop building the torment nexus. All by yourself, no government regulations required. Nobody's forcing you to play 'Global Thermonuclear War'. I mean, except your future shareholders and your greed."

The Dutch illustrator Bart Aalbers made a guideline sketch (see top left corner), and I made the statue in Blender using polygon subdivision modeling.

I've included a "Moon Adolescent" variation (I took Moon Child's stylization too far initially 😅).

So… After days of hesitation, I decided to register a Eurosky account, so I can view all the posts surrounding our 1990s Moon Child game on Bluesky.
And wow, it's been a wild ride since I arrived. Moon Child has really gone viral on Bluesky. The memes, fan art, videos etc. are so much fun to read, I'm having a blast!
Here's just one of the many Moon Child themed meme videos over at Bluesky, using samples from Moon Child's amiga demo theme… 😅

🧵 Game dev years, 5/x
My intro picture for our 1992 Hoi platform game.
I initially made this in the Amiga's "Half-Brite" 64 colors mode, but the intro's 7-channel music took so much processing power that the image needed to be reduced to 16 colors, hence the harsh sky shades. 🥲

The Ghouls 'n' Ghosts 'n' Goblins range of Capcom platformers are among my all-time favorite games.
Love the spooky atmosphere, the gorgeous graphics, the soundtracks and the variation in the levels.
The games are very tough to complete. I owned Ghouls 'n' Ghosts for the Sega Megadrive, and painfully discovered that you needed to complete the entire game twice to reach the ultimate end boss: the Devil himself. 😓
