Most Amiga graphics editors were oriented towards the bitmapped and bitplaned display modes of the native Amiga chipset, and in Deluxe Paint this was most prominent. Versions Amiga ĭeluxe Paint I was released in 1985. Dpaint for MS-DOS was used by LucasArts to make graphics for their adventure games such as Monkey Island, and is the source of the name of the main character in the Monkey Island series, Guybrush Threepwood - the character's name derived from a particular filename used to store his image data, which was named 'guybrush.bbm'. While widely used on the Amiga, these formats never gained widespread end user acceptance on other platforms, but were heavily used by game development companies. With the development of Deluxe Paint, EA introduced the ILBM and ANIM file format standards for graphics. Deluxe Paint was first in a series of products from the Electronic Arts Tools group-then later moved to the ICE (for Interactivity, Creativity, and Education) group-which included such Amiga programs as Deluxe Music Construction Set (preceded by Music Construction Set for the Apple II), Deluxe Video, and the Studio series of paint programs for the Macintosh. The copy protection scheme was later dropped. Version 5 was the last release after Commodore's bankruptcy in 1994.Įarly versions of Deluxe Paint were available in protected and non copy-protected versions, the latter retailing for a slightly higher price.

Amiga manufacturer Commodore International later commissioned EA to create version 4.5 AGA to bundle with the new Advanced Graphics Architecture chipset ( A1200, A4000) capable Amigas. It was used almost ubiquitously in the making of Amiga games, animation and demoscene productions. Upon release, it was quickly embraced by the Amiga community and became the de facto graphics (and later animation) editor for the platform. As author Dan Silva added features to Prism, it was developed as a showcase product to coincide with the Amiga's debut in 1985. Deluxe Paint began as an in-house art development tool called Prism.
