We took it as our personal mission to make it the best possible experience for users.Īfter Dark for Macintosh had a slow start, but the Windows version took off like a rocket as soon as it was released. The graphics, the interface, the attention to detail. When you love your product, it’s completely different than working to spec. Only when the creators truly satisfy their own yearnings can a really great product be made. George Lucas made Star Wars for himself, and fortunately his sense of story, mythos, and visual design resonated with millions of people. How did After Dark see the light of day?īill: After Dark came into being because some people made some experiments for themselves, showed them to other people, and correctly observed the incredible wave of positive reaction.
Tommy: It’s quite a pleasure to talk with you. Although After Dark got its start on the Macintosh, this wonderful screen saver also found its way to the Windows side through the help of two equally talented, artistic souls, Bill Stewart and Ian MacDonald.
