This time it is our music player Mugician with which Ramon made his now infamous: ‘It’s moon Child wooho-ho-ho’ track, and all the music for Hoi. Have a lot of listening pleasure. 💚 bitbucket.org/rhinoid/mugi... 34826

Reposted by Albert Hamik, P.I.Reinier van Vliet @reiniervanvliet.eurosky.social · 29/05/2026Very very soon now, we will release our 3'rd portable old game as open source title. Just like Moon Child and Hoi! before it. This time, like Hoi!, it's converted from the Amiga by the tool we made (Also released) and a lot of manual fixing/tweaking. 26214
Reposted by Albert Hamik, P.I.Reinier van Vliet @reiniervanvliet.eurosky.social · 15/05/2026The wait is over: The version of our old game Hoi! from the Amiga, now running on Mac, Linux and PC. The repo also contains pre-build versions for both Mac and PC. You can find it here: bitbucket.org/rhinoid/hoi_... 320390

Reposted by Albert Hamik, P.I.Metin Seven, Moon Child's dad 🌝 @seven.eurosky.social · 07/05/2026In 1991, I made an Xmas greeting animation that was sent to family, friends and clients on VHS video tape. For fun I digitized and inserted myself, Hoi and Moon Child in a 32-color low-resolution scene from the Amiga animation. 🙂 You can view the animation here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=aF-3... 7803161

Reposted by Albert Hamik, P.I.Metin Seven, Moon Child's dad 🌝 @seven.eurosky.social · 25/04/2026I've added Moon Child's tiles and backgrounds to the Archive file directory. Fun fact: the backgrounds are also tileable. We planned to make those move in parallax style, at half the speed of the foreground. I don't remember why that didn't make it into the game. 😅 archive.org/download/Moo... 520049
Reposted by Albert Hamik, P.I.Reinier van Vliet @reiniervanvliet.eurosky.social · 25/04/2026Started porting our old game Hoi from Amiga code to a more portable format so it can be run 'anywhere'. As you can see, not there yet! 😅 Debugging this stuff is pretty tricky but fun! Hopefully it get's into something playable / useful at some point. 🙏 1022548

Albert Hamik, P.I. @cookedmonty.bsky.social · 24/04/2026Exciting news on the Moon Child PocketPC front. @wafflenet.com, who is in our Discord, got the game installed onto their iPAQ, retrieved the files and found an old PC version of the Syntrax software to get us this, the title track of Moon Child PPC, which hasn't been heard in possibly over a decade: 37433

Reposted by Albert Hamik, P.I.Lenna 💛🩸 @lenna.gay · 21/04/2026I'm going to polish it up a little more before I probably post the file itself, but I was working on some other project stuff last night and alongside that I recreated the Moon Child logo from the boxart in SVG :P The font is just a modified Black Chancery but I did match it, weird angles and all 4309
Reposted by Albert Hamik, P.I.Metin Seven, Moon Child's dad 🌝 @seven.eurosky.social · 20/04/2026When my wife and I had just married, she crafted this Hoi plushie for me. 😊💚 As we married uhm… a 'few' years ago, the condition of the plushie has declined, but I thought it's fun to post here. My wife wants me to emphasize that it was a quick prototype, not a finalized creation. 🙂 222468691
Albert Hamik, P.I. @cookedmonty.bsky.social · 21/04/2026Moon Child stuff: Not sure if it's been mentioned anywhere, but at least in the texture container for the original PC release, is animation frames of Hoi able to walk left and right (quickly made the frames into expanded GIFs for reference). 15513
Albert Hamik, P.I. @cookedmonty.bsky.social · 21/04/2026@seven.eurosky.social This only sorta relates to Moon Child, but have you by chance ever heard Supersempfft?

Albert Hamik, P.I. @cookedmonty.bsky.social · 20/04/2026Moon Child now has a SR.C leaderboard, in anticipation of runs for the sourceports in development (kind of leaning towards the port worked on by Reinier and @eidolon.photon.institute, unless the other one catches on for runs; we'll debate it). Anyone interested in a mod role, and will be running it? 295

Reposted by Albert Hamik, P.I.Metin Seven, Moon Child's dad 🌝 @seven.eurosky.social · 19/04/2026🧵 1/x I'll explain the weird "Hoi" game name… 🙂 "Hoi" means "Hi" in Dutch. Back in the 1980s and 1990s I used to have a cat named Mickey. When the cat entered my room, I always greeted the cat by saying "Hoi Mickey!" 🙂 [Continued in next post…] 943188
Albert Hamik, P.I. @cookedmonty.bsky.social · 20/04/2026Funny enough, it's the anniversary of me actually playing Moon Child (give or take a time zone). I had downloaded it some time prior but couldn't get it working. Then I dropped in a wrapper or something and finally got it to run. Can't wait for a sourceport release, whoever can pull that off soon. 110

Albert Hamik, P.I. @cookedmonty.bsky.social · 19/04/2026Just boredly throwing this out there but one particular europlatformer I tripped over in the past is the German game Tailchaser, released the same year as Moon Child.

Albert Hamik, P.I. @cookedmonty.bsky.social · 18/04/2026I found the Pocket PC version of Moon Child, but I can't install it as it wants the drivers present for a compatible Pocket PC device, and I don't have any of those around (it probably won't work in Windows 11). Apparently it has different music, so it'd be cool to hear that. mega.nz/file/VJMRVBY...mega.nz6.73 MB file on MEGA 1126
Albert Hamik, P.I. @cookedmonty.bsky.social · 18/04/2026If you hold crouch down in Moon Child, after a number of seconds he will fart. Amazing easter egg I was able to properly figure out after looking at the source code (I forgot how I originally got it to happen): 42111
Reposted by Albert Hamik, P.I.Metin Seven, Moon Child's dad 🌝 @seven.eurosky.social · 18/04/2026Back in the mid-1990s, I made all Moon Child's graphics using DPaint on an Amiga, but I wasn't skilled in 3D creation yet. So I designed and printed a storyboard template, drew storyboards with pencil and directed 3D animators to realize cinematic videos that surround the game in the CD-ROM version. 4506127
