  1. These interviews are so good! But since they are really long as well, is there any chance for you to add timestamps to the YouTube description, so that it's easier to jump to a specific topic discussed?
  2. I've finally added my new restoration of Mark Ferrari's LOOM artwork to the thread, plus the FM Towns cover artwork as a brand-new addition (both in several different versions). Does anybody here know who painted the FM Towns art?
  3. Why the hell is that in this thread though?
  4. About that, you should know that the pixels in the original games weren't square (because many old games had a resolution of 320x200 pixels, but were supposed to be displayed on monitors with a 4:3 aspect ratio - thus the image needed to be stretched vertically by a factor of 1.2, which the CRT screens from back then would take care of). So if you want to preserve the original shape of the Guybrush sprite, a regular 1x1 LEGO brick would in fact be almost the perfect size.
  5. That's an excellent set of questions, but I think too many of those would have been answered with either "we can't talk about that" or "we don't know". FYI, I did offer them to clean up the T-shirt artwork for the Maniac Mansion release, but ultimately it wasn't picked. I sent them my WIP to decide (cleanup on the right, still missing some shading here and there):
  6. Yeah, it was just a quick one-off. A German photo printing service ran a deal last week for 100-page photo books on the cheap, so I quickly cobbled some stuff together that I always wanted to have in book form. That's why it's just dumped in there, without a proper layout. I've also ordered one with all the DOTT backgrounds (from the Remaster's concept art gallery) and one with the background paintings from MI2 and my upscales of MI3, but those haven't arrived yet.
  7. Would love to see this as a real art book, with interviews and stuff (via a Kickstarter, maybe?). Basically what Rogue Leaders did, but focusing on the box art. Also, if anybody, it should be the original artists to sign this.
  8. Let's just say that LRG struck a very fair deal with me when it comes to using my restorations.
  9. I tried having ChatGPT write a script for either Photoshop, ImageMagick or ffmpeg, to take care of the stitching, but nothing worked.
  10. Bringing this back up, I was wondering if you could add a functionality to the DoubleFine Explorer that, when extracting tile-based images, correctly stitches them together. I am especially looking for a way to get a full rip of the DOTT:R concept art gallery. The filenames themselves contain the coordinates of each tile (to make thing unnecessarily difficult, they overlap by 4 pixels), but I don't know enough about coding to use the info myself.
  11. It looks like LRG will be bringing their non-box versions of RtMI (at least on Switch, PS5 and Xbox) to Amazon as well, with a release date of July 25th. https://twitter.com/IGNDeals/status/1633916881038983169?s=20
  12. Yeah, we haven't found the exact edition of the atlas that has the 88 in it. Sure, the atlas you found has the 88, but it's a completely different design.
  13. Are you kidding me? HERE you are offering a pre-order form for your Zak boxes. Which part of "don't sell boxes with my restorations on it" did you have trouble with?
  14. I have to agree here. Of course, finally proper Williams music (sounds like it could be from the new score) helps a ton. But my god, Ford's "Are you still a Nazi?" is SO well delivered. How can this short spot hype me so much more than the teaser did?
  15. I would love to see some kind of CRT filter added to DREAMM. Not the usual black-line overlay, but something that has the same effect CRT screens had on dithering in games like Loom. But it's probably out of scope.
  16. As have most of their Star Wars and Marvel shows.
  17. James Woodcock of Pixel Refresh interviewed me about the poster project, and for the first time I'll show a more in-depth look at my restoration processes. Also, this was my first appearance on a podcast, so I stumble over the English languange a lot. Still, I hope it's enjoyable! https://www.pixelrefresh.com/game-gadget-podcast-25-restoring-retro-game-posters-with-jan-hofmeister/
  18. I firmly expect some key-less Collector's Editions to show up on eBay after they've been shipped.
  19. The "sold out" is just a bug in their site that happens on all pre-orders that haven't started yet. And the date on the image is just an error, which was probably an earlier date they wanted to hit and forgot to update. Easy.
  20. Ah okay, I guess it's easier to just repaint the windows if I want to clean up that poster. Thanks for digging those out!
