   It's always fascinating to see how this Space Quest III screen was drawn!

   Even more when you know that this was the first Sierra On-Line adventure game that Mark Crowe drew with the new engine ✨ (SCI)

     @Gamrok Wait, I need some context. What am I looking at? Is this a recreation of the screen? Is it a step-by-step of how the engine draws the image? Is it a recording of the original drawing?

     If so... how? I can't imagine they were doing digital screen recordings of their art process in 1989.

     I mean, it looks cool, but I'd like to understand how this was made.

     @MudMan @Gamrok Sierra's games stored background images as vector drawing commands all the way until King's Quest 5. What you're seeing is both how the engine draws them, and how original artists created them.
