Subject: ANNOUNCE: Jet Set Willy: Goodnite Luddite
I have just released my new Jet Set Willy game, the long-awaited
sequel to We Pretty: GOODNITE LUDDITE!
It's the best game I've ever made: atmospheric, visually attractive,
technically sound, packed with quirky features, fun to play, and
pleasant to explore.
Goodnite Luddite comes with a not-so-short story written up in the
form of a diary, which I think the reader will find both exciting and
funny. It's very surreal, set in a Lynchian nightmare-world with its
own peculiar logic - it's a more coherent story than We Pretty.
Goodnite Luddite is set in a Selesian monastery (today being Monica
Seles's birthday), and you have to exorcise the spirit of Kari
Krisníková before the world ends at midnight! (Yes, this JSW game
really does end at midnight, unlike the original JSW which ended at
1am! ;-) )
It's not my most difficult JSW game in terms of exploration, although
it does require knowledge of the quirks of the game-engine
[http://www.cs.man.ac.uk/~broada/spectrum/willy/features.html ] to see
more than ten rooms. But it's probably my most difficult JSW game to
complete in terms of collecting all the items. I say it has the best
geography and the best difficulty-gradient of all my games.
Goodnite Luddite is available today for downloading from my website.
