It really speaks for the sheer longevity of the Tongquetai set they built for 1994 Three Kingdoms show that I can still see its silhouette in this Age of Empires 2 DLC (and like a bazillion other Chinese media since 1994)

Screenshot of the Age of Empires 2 Three Kingdoms DLC, with a Wei faction building that shares similar features to the Tongquetai.

Age of Empires box art isn't too well credited, so now's probably as good a time as any to share this one. Here's the box art painting for the first AoE expansion Rise of Rome, painted by C. Winston Taylor, an artist known for his movie poster and VHS box art in the 70s and 80s #ageofempires

It’s semi-known that Chris Hopkins illustrated the U.S. NES box art for Dragon Warrior III and IV. But he also illustrated the PC box art for the original Age of Empires (1997) and for Total Annihilation: Kingdoms - The Iron Plague (2000).

Als ich Yannick Süß auf der gamescom kennenlernte, staunte ich SEHR über seine Arbeit - denn er komponiert unter anderem für Paradox, von Crusader Kings bis Europa Universalis. Ich MUSSTE ihn also über seine Arbeit ausquetschen. Gibt's überall und hier: okcool.space/der-crusader...

What got you into #gamedev? Creating maps and modding Age of Empires 25 years ago, when I was 7 or 8. Kinda struck gold, since that got me into making new Age games and DLC professionaly for over 10 years now and tought me the tools to create my own indie game.
