Hi all,
This is Tim F who drew graphics back in the early days of BOE! I was just a 14 year old kid and really loved the community and the game. Sharing scenarios and tile sets over slow dial-up internet from my rural town.
I was wondering if anyone has some of my old graphics saved? I lost them over the years. The Almighty Doer Of Stuff contacted me on linkedin some years ago saying he wanted to use them.
I ended up getting a Fine Arts degree, then becoming a professional programmer (business stuff, not games). I'm a middle-aged man now. My only creative outlet is making synthesizer music. I don't play games much, but still have fond memories. I reckon BOE could be a web-based game these days. Modern tech makes things a lot easier. Would you play something like that? Could probably have multiplayer aspects, too.
What happened to Luz P? - that was another sprite artist around in the early days. Amazing work.
How are you all doing? Anyone here from back in the day? Must be more than 20 years ago!
