The main engine for Willy is complete now. The title sequence and end
credits sequence is complete. There are only things like guardians,
arrows and lifts to put in. Everything seems to fall into place a lot
better once you start a new project.

I'll upload a new demo at some point.. I'm aiming to make it so that
poeple can make "proper" games with this one, the last one was rushed
a little bit.

finnished result :)
