My first post didn't post for some reason so if it does re appear,
which is not uncommon on yahoo, well anyway.......

I have uploaded a new demo of my jsw pc game to the files section.

I have tweaked the engine and eliminated a couple of bugs.
Mainly the falling through the floor bug.
I have also re wrote the object colection code to allow for screen
flipping.
I am going to stick with the scrolling room Idea but make it flip
screen also.
You will be able to move freely between however many large scrolling screens I make.

It is very much a work in progress of the area I am working on at the moment so a lot of it is unfinished.

I am trying to add new features to it.
Like light switches,pickups and whatever else comes to mind.
So far you can turn the lights on in a room and pick up a key to open the front door with.

I am trying to make the game that little bit different while making
it remain very recognisable as jetset willy.

Please post any comments or bugs.

Cheers.

Scott.

I couldn't find any specific bugs, but, yeah, it's certainly looking
good..
Scott, why not post a demo to remakes.org, they're very interested in
anything related to remakes. I'm sure you'll get loads more feedback
from there :)
