In the light of #amigapril I'm honored with @gamesthatwerent's coverage of the cancelled initial version of our Moon Child platform game (and what happened with the project after that)… 😊🙏

Moon Child (Commodore Amiga) - Games That Weren't

Moon Child is an interesting project that started life on the Commodore Amiga, but ultimately ended up being completed and released on PC instead. The game was developed by Dutch team Team Hoi, made up of Reinier van Vliet, Metin Seven and Ramon Braumuller, who had previously worked together on titles such as Hoi and Clockwiser.

Cool, a retro YouTuber has made a technical analysis of the #Amiga demo version of our Moon Child game… 😃

After the Amiga demo, we reinitiated and completed Moon Child for Windows, because Commodore had gone bankrupt and the Amiga's future became uncertain.

Apparently, our 1990s Moon Child Amiga / Windows game is going viral on Bluesky. 😆

This is the first time I regret not having a Bluesky account anymore. 🙂

Motivated by the renewed attention surrounding our 1990s Moon Child game on Bluesky, I did a search on my HDD, and found back some pencil-on-paper concept sketches I made for the game at the time. 🙂

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… 😆

Oh, and here's my account:
