56 of 56 · most liked firstI 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. Play Moon Child online: proofofconcept.nl/portfolio/mo... Moon Child Archive: archive.org/details/Moon...
unlabelledView post →Having received so much love for our good old #MoonChild game, we are happy to give love back to the game community by releasing the Moon Child source files + assets. Details can be read in the ReadMe text. We're looking forward to see what you're going to create! 💚 bitbucket.org/rhinoid/moon...

unlabelledView post →I've extracted a #MoonChild head icon I made for a Flash 1.0 site in 1997, when the Windows game was about to be released. The isolated and upscaled icon comes from a low-res screenshot, but I think it makes a nice Moon Child logo. 🙂 I've uploaded it to the MC Archive: archive.org/details/Moon...

unlabelledView post →In 2017, #MoonChild was displayed on a giant screen in front of Hilversum Central Station in the Netherlands, as a project of media students. I made a short video, showing my wife playing the game. 💚 The game display quality was better in real life, and the audio is mainly wind noise. 😅
unlabelledView post →Back in the mid-1990s, between working on #MoonChild, I made this concept mockup for a Breakout-type OMO laundry detergent advergame. 🙂 The project was not executed, but I kept the mockup.
unlabelledView post →Captain Hoi, 1992. 😆 Hoi's publisher had produced Hoi-shaped pins, and I had pinned one of those on a cap. 😁 #hoi #TeamHoi #RetroGaming #GameDev #MoonChild

unlabelledView post →Woke up with the #MoonChild tune in my head again. Thanks for (re)discovering our game, Bluesky friends. Now I have to get that ear worm out of my head again, decades after I finally succeeded in that. 😅 😉 In case you don't know what I'm talking about… mors-games.itch.io/moon-child-fe
unlabelledView post →I made some #MoonChild Steam assets for the port made by @mors.games on my Steam library! I'm planning to upload it to SteamGridDB, but I'm waiting for them to accept the request for the game, so for now feel free to grab it from here! The logo is an HD recreation made by me. It's not perfect tho!
unlabelledView post →doodle - Moon Child I’ve been seeing this bald, green-skinned alien in a red bodysuit all over my timeline lately. What kind of game is "Moon Child", and why did it become such a meme? #moonchild

Each image includes the artist in the filename. archive.org/details/Moon... #MoonChild #art #FanArt #character #game #RetroGaming
unlabelledView post →The Assembly source files + assets of the #MoonChild Amiga game demo are now also available in the repository. It is purely the game, no intros or title sequence, but you now have the power to access the game's internals. 😃 bitbucket.org/rhinoid/hoi2...

unlabelledView post →If you like #MoonChild, be sure to check out our preceding Amiga platform game (1992), where Moon Child's sidekick Hoi is the protagonist. Recently, the fiendishly difficult original release of Hoi was played with impressive perseverance by Twitch streamer BillBull: www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7oN...

unlabelledView post →Preparing the 3D animations surrounding the game in the original 1997 CD-ROM version of #MoonChild. The original videos are only 320 x 240 pixels, and were heavily compressed. I tried to restore them a bit, but we'll also include the originals. I directed the videos, Ramon made the soundtrack.
unlabelledView post →#MoonChild It is with great pleasure I announce... Moon Child '95. This is a mod that seeks to tweak the original game to play and look more like its Amiga demo counterpart, adding scrapped content from both iterations (such as the gothic theming, and Hoi!) Footage is extremely early.

unlabelledView post →To super obscure character to memes to geniune fandom to a actual crossover with a indie game. Moonchild is the craziest most insane sucess stories in the modern day. Genuinely.
unlabelledView post →I feel a little like his body is too big for this head. Moonchild looks a little closer to 3 or 4 heads tall in the game source, and here he's about 5.
unlabelledView post →hey #speedrun sky should I make the maze at the second-to-last level of #MoonChild a fixed seed when speedrunning? bad maze luck can completely derail a good run, and it's right at the end of the game, so I'm convinced it would be healthier to just use a fixed layout here.
