yawning_angelI was incredibly humbled to be invited to take part in this by @RobSmithDev
Interviewing the amazing AMOS creator Francois Lionet was an incredible experience.

Judeau (EatTheRich)@yawning_angel @RobSmithDev This is awesome! I can't wait to watch this.
I was a huge user of Klik and Play and Multi Media Fusion. I never got a copy of STOS but I always dreamed of making something with it on my Atari STe.
It wasn't until years later that I learned who François Lionet was and just how many products I used or wanted that were developed by him.
Dude is an absolute legend!
@Judeau
Hope you enjoy the video. He was a delight to talk to. 😎

avmakt@yawning_angel @RobSmithDev Thanks for the excellent video, François is such a great personality!
Spent quite a few nights and weekends with the marvels that were #AMOS and AMOS Pro, as well as gems like #OctaMED and #DeluxePaint. Good times!
Metin Seven 🎨@yawning_angel @RobSmithDev @Judeau Cool. I once met him during an Amiga game developers weekend in Belgium in 1993.
Wrote a diary of that for the only Dutch paper Amiga magazine at the time. 🙂
You can see him on page 63…

woodycool@yawning_angel @RobSmithDev this was a really good video, I proper enjoyed it
AMOS (and STOS before hand) were both really good environments - and although they're targetted as "games creators", they're not limited to that, and I found that I created many little utilities to make life working with a single drive A500+ and 1MB more bareable - and the AMOS Pro coverdisk (AF67a) was where it all started for me.
@woodycool @RobSmithDev So glad you liked it. Yes, AMOS isn’t just about games - I always take it as a creation tool. What people choose to create with it is up to them, but it’s the tool that gives the ability to create which is key. 😎
@yawning_angel @RobSmithDev tbf, I did find that the the Sprite/Icon editor helps with making some lovely GUIs for pretty much any application (or game) you could want
