Subject: What's going on ??????
I remember this time last year this board was
jumping.
This is the first time I have logged in in ages and
there have only been a few posts since then.
Is
everyone getting bored with willy ?
Is anyone making
any new games ?
To put myself in the christmas
mood I am 2 rooms into A Very Willy Christmas
2.
Unlike the last effort that was a scroller with the
dodgy GF platform engine :), this one is a proper flip
screener and I have managed to create a custom engine that
emulates the original about 90 %.
If I spent all the
time trying to get it perfect I would never get the
game out.
So far I have implemented solid and soft
blocks, bad blocks, collectables, left and right
convayors, left and right ramps ( those were a bitch to code
:) ), baddies ( Well A baddie to be honest :) ) and
lifts.
I don't want to go too mad with the features
becuase If I do then when does it stop being JSW
??
I will post a link to a demo here soon if anyone is
interested.
Now back to the grindstone ( sigh )
I want
this thing out for christmas............
