Subject: Games ahoy!!!
Scrap everything I said about Skint Willy you'll be waiting a while,
quite a while for the bug free version. Even longer for the special
edition I promised, that's on hold for now. I had a brain storm the
other night when drunk, the new game I'm working on maintains a lot
of the feel of Skint Willy so I decided to create The down and out
trilogy. This trilogy will consist of Skint Willy followed by Willy
the rogue (currently under the working title of Jet Set Freaker Which
there are pics of in the Base 1 productions folder) and the final
game will be called Still Stealin'. If you had the misfortune to
download Skint Willy in it's far from friendly guise you will know
that every time you enter the room called "I don't like the look of
this" you lose all your lives. This is now fixed but I'm gonna hold
it back til' I've finished the second game in the trilogy. I'll post
them both whilst working on the third, Then much in a nerdy style
I'll post special editions of all 3 in one zip file. The game I'm
working on at the minute will have reasonably contraversial rooms in
a set of 3 combining with each other. I'm working on"Technician Ted
is a peadophile" and "Odd Job Eddie blows goats" (The sprites for
this screen are hilarious), and last but not least "Blagger is a bum
bandit". Also single type screens that have not been drawn yet but do
have existing sprites are titled things like "Hero worship is
stalking", "Champion Edition" and "The adventures of Stone Chill". If
you got Skint willy in it's buggy state class it as a demo, if you
got as far as I don't like the look of this you weren't too far from
the end anyway, and I might change that screen and the one a few away
anyway I only put them their cos' I was too lazy to re-draw the
corresponding screens that belong in their places.
Sorry if I've gone on a bit but I had to hype my new idea cos' I'm
gonna be really happy once it's finished although I think that'll be
a month or 2 down the line but hey good things take time :)

Thank you for all the inspiration I have got from all your
conversions and sprites, especially Richard G Hallas who let me use
some of his graphics in Skint Willy.
