From a series of voxel art tributes to childhood game nostalgia I made in the 2000s.
As there were no voxel editors yet, I made them by extruding polygons in 3ds Max.
Some high-res images from this series are available here…

Maniac Mansion Mania Episode 7 - Right Said Fred!?! by Mister L (2005)
Found out that this game has now playable in English! 
Why do you think Dr. Fred is so on edge?
Inspired clearly by the likes of classic Zelda and the Game Boy Color, Isle of Reveries is one for fans of retro games that want something new and fresh.

Concept and graphics for an isometric iOS racing game in a minimalistic voxel-style, made in 2010.
A friend started coding it, but couldn't find enough time to finish it.
I published the graphics on several showcase sites. Four years later, Crossy Road appeared with a similar isometric voxel style, and was a big hit.
Since I made quite a few people feel guilty with my neglected digital pet, I thought I’d make things worse by sharing my FORGOTTEN digital pet 
It’s okay, we’re all guilty of this 
Adopt the guilt

When I was an Amiga game developer, the German Factor 5 developers were among my heroes.
I was honored when many years later, Factor 5's Lutz Osterkorn ordered my game voxel artworks for his bedroom wall. He sent me these photos.
[Castlevania AGA] - Castlevania for the Commodore Amiga is now Feature complete!
Dev Notes: It's a complete game as of January of 2025. All stages, all bosses, all music tracks and all weapons from the original Castlevania. Pixel art adapted or completely re-designed to highlight Amiga's strengths.

A1200/A4000 versions are available on many formats. (HDF image etc.)
• A1200/A4000 versions at the moment do not run on a stock 2MB (A1200) machine, because of the (memory-expensive) MOD soundtrack (comprised of about a dozen tracks). It ended running on CD32 because the CD music is inexpensive. The CD music was curated from several releases from the series. Removing most MOD tracks, leaving just one that repeats during the whole game (a la Battle Squadron) is also an option for a parallel, cut-down version that runs on stock 2MB A1200.
• 6 main tracks (Vampire Killer, Stalker, Wicked Child, boss theme, intro and stage clear theme) were arranged by Estrayk. The remaining tracks are placeholders that will be replaced by new versions arranged by Martin Eriksson (DJ Metune). When that happens, the game will be a 1.0 release.
• Some bosses, specially 4 and 5, are a bit weak and need to be re-balanced. That's also part of version 1.0. The Dracula fight has been re-balanced as of January 2025 and (IMHO) is quite challenging, worth of its final boss status.
• CD32 version eliminates alternative method for employing special weapons (dagger, axe, cross, holy water), because of its multi-button standard control pad. So, it uses right shoulder button for that, with a backup on green button. A1200/A4000 version also features that if you plug a CD32 pad on it.](https://nerdculture.de/system/media_attachments/files/114/126/874/337/746/647/original/1ec57a0b01f6d58a.png "[ImageSource: Dante Retro Dev]

I gave Windows 3.11 a dark mode. It's practically a modern OS now.
#introduction
New instance same intro. I live in Portugal, old millennial, married, father of 2 young children, work as an Information System consultant, into #FOSS #Linux #Privacy #Art #Cinema #Politics, #Radiohead, #MentalHealth, #RetroGaming, #Retrocomputing and #retro stuff in general
Got Windows 3.11 running in #UTM on my M1 Mac. Sound (WAV playback) is working too after installing the SoundBlaster driver, but I can't seem to get it to play MIDI at all.
I first had to install MS-DOS of course. For that I followed this tutorial specifically written for UTM:

An isometric pixel art splash screen for my mid-2000s website.
Back then, Seven's Heaven was my one-man company name.
