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).

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.

I've been making games since I was 17! I made my first game back then (a really janky VN w me & my friends OCs LOL) as a way to tell a longform story in an interactive way. Now I have the same idea--I want to tell interactive stories in a method I can finish by myself

Pokemon Essentials. It had little me trying to crack RPG Maker XP in order to play with the alternative to ROM hacking my favorite games in an attempt to make my own.
I got addicted to the tile editor. Then I realized I could make my own Dark Cloud. The rest is history!
