[VDSC]

Too many questions.

18. It is possible and likely will be added someday.
19. They announced subway, so probably yes.
23. He helped with TheoTown.
26. It will destroy his city
30. See 18
31. It is.

Woops, I doubled the question

[theotheoderich]

1.How did you learn pixel art?

Practice, practice, practice
On my first Amiga 500 with DeluxePaint II - IV.
I startet with logos and tried to "copy" some ingame screenshots from some magazines.
Doing my own graphics was much more fun for me rather than playing commercial games.
I have always had a lively imagination in my head.


2.How did you find your partnership with Lobby?

I did not find him. He found me
Since 2003 I have worked several times on simple city simulations.
Here you can see some screenshots, but they were never really playable:





This is how TheoTown starts in 2008 and Lobby wanted to help doing some graphics while i was coding the "game".



3.About what is the average hours a day did you spend making pixel art?

This changes extremely strongly. Sometimes i can work four to five hours a day, and sometimes i can´t work on buildings for over a week.
I have a family and a real life job.
Normally I can only do some pixel work when the children and my wife are in bed in the evening. But i also have friends in other cities and sometimes i am doing some sports in the evening.


4.When all the IAPs are done, will you create FREE buildings again?

Yes, that is the plan


5. Which of the IAPs did you like most?

The service package, because of the style of the buildings.
Was really a lot of work.


6.Is it possible to rework at the Museum?

Yes, but not in the near future.
Originally I did not want to use the building for the game because I did not like it from the beginning.
But unfortunately we had no other building for a museum


7.What is your first building?

For TheoTown...i think this buildings in 2007:





In the beginning the scale was different from the actual game.


8.Do you think airplanes will be a good pixel art?

I hope so, but it is difficult on such a few pixels.

[VDSC]

Do you still have codes for these old games? If so, maybe you could share it.

Yeah it looks cool

[Bearbear76]

Do you still have codes for these old games? If so, maybe you could share it.

yes

[VDSC]

Wait...

[Bearbear76]

[Ahmad Nur Aizat]

Is there anyway to remake the prototype buildings in the early 2000's?

[theotheoderich]

The old gamecode will not run on a 64 bit computer.
Sorry, but i will not share the code, too much spaghetti code

[Bearbear76]

The old gamecode will not run on a 64 bit computer.
Sorry, but i will not share the code, too much spaghetti code

will it run on Windows 2000 if it does I can play

[VDSC]

The old gamecode will not run on a 64 bit computer.
Sorry, but i will not share the code, too much spaghetti code

What spaghetti code? Code that is edible and has Spaggheti?

JK, what is it?

[Bearbear76]

The old gamecode will not run on a 64 bit computer.
Sorry, but i will not share the code, too much spaghetti code

What spaghetti code? Code that is edible and has Spaggheti?

JK, what is it?

I think it means old codes that don't work anymore

[Ahmad Nur Aizat]

Hmmm, spaghetti codes. Seems logic anyways
