DEGAS and DEGAS Elite ( D.E.G.A.S., Design & Entertainment Graphic Arts System) are bitmap graphics editors created by Tom Hudson for the Atari ST and published by Batteries Included. Antic magazine published winners of an art competition for those using the software in July 1986.
Hudson created some of the sample paintings that shipped with DEGAS.
Development
The working title of DEGAS was HUDraw, where "HUD" stood for "Hudson."
Gary Yost of Antic Software wanted to publish DEGAS, but Hudson chose Batteries Included because "they were, in my opinion, the best Atari software company at the time." Yost and Antic Software published Hudson's next program, CAD 3D.
