I think the bugs in #JetSetWilly 360 have been fixed. Now the only thing stopping me from completing it is the fact that it's #JetSetWilly.

#SummerOfStories | 14

Films, books, games, t-shirts... anything!

I've written the unofficial novel of #JetSetWilly, a space opera based on the book of Genesis, and a novel whose entire premise is based on the name of a village in Northamptonshire.

Throwback #WIPSnips today as there's a whole chapter in The Ballad of Matthew Smith entitled 'Library'. And I'd forgotten the book is actually quite good (though I say so myself).

So here's Matthew's first meeting with the Librarian.

#WriteSky #WritingCommunity #ZXSpectrum #GameLit #JetSetWilly
Struggling to his feet, Matthew added a wonky knee and two or three bruised ribs to his injury tally. The once imposing doorway was still open, but rather more inviting without the monastic fellow being disdainful in it, so Matthew peered in - at what appeared to be a library of some sort. 'I don't remember this being a library of some sort...' He quietly stepped in, treading carefully between vast shelves full of dusty old leather bound volumes which lined the walls and seemed to command a reverential silence and respect - and which were juxtaposed rather oddly with several carousels of well-thumbed paperbacks. 'This could be useful,' Matthew peered at the ancient writing on the spine of one of the more serious books, but refused to believe that it actually said 'The Divine Art of the Quirkafleeg'. 'If only I knew where to start...' 'May I be of assistance?' a voice came, as from a great distance. Matthew turned to face the direction of the voice, and found himself face to face with a pale, thin woman who appeared to have only a limited grasp of the concept of personal space. He stepped back, as discreetly as he could, stumbled, overbalanced, grabbed at something to stop himself from falling but could only reach the least stable of the line of paperback carousels, which promptly broke under his weight, propelling him floorwards with even greater speed, taking it and the next carousel of books with him. Matthew sat up, in the midst of a pile of cheap romance novels, now nursing a bruised hip and a cut finger in addition to his other woes. Behind him there was a crash; the row of paperback carousels was still falling like a row of dominoes. 'Crap,' he muttered. 'Sorry about that,' he added, assuming that the pale, thin woman was in fact a librarian of some sort. 'No matter,' said the probable librarian. 'I do hope that you're not too seriously injured? I shall summon first aid, of course, post haste.' 'That's ok,' Matthew said, struggling to his feet. Again.

#SFFChat Q2

With The Ballad of Matthew Smith being based on #JetSetWilly, and with Jet Set Willy editors being readily available, if time were no object I'd rework JSW to follow the route in the story. Sort of a 'game of the book of the game' deal.

#SFFChat Q2: If your story were a game of some kind, what would it be (e.g RPG, TTRPG, a boardgame of some kind, survival horror, first-person shooter, etc)?

New build published. If you've got 0.2.8 of the ZX Next version, you'll want to update to 0.2.9, because I introduced a stupid crash bug.

You can update using the self-updater in-game, or you can download from jetsetwilly.net

Okay, so I lied. I forgot The Cartography Room; it's now fully implemented in the JSW2 Custom Pack for Jet Set Willy: Next on both PC and ZX Spectrum Next.

This is the last #JetSetWilly 2 set piece, apart from the victory sequence. It looks like custom map packs will work out nicely.

Work continues on the #JetSetWilly NEXT custom map framework, using JSW2 as a test case.

Here's a WIP video of the Trip Switch/Yacht/Deserted Isle map feature. #ZXSpectrum #ZXSpectrumNext #gamedev #retro

Working on custom map packs for #JetSetWillyNext.
First up: a custom pack for JSW2 (which I actually preferred to the original #JetSetWilly, but I think I'm in the minority).

The video shows the PC version, but the #ZXSpectrumNext version isn't far behind.

This took me a few days to get working, but I finally have OTA updates functional in the #ZXSpectrumNext version of Jet Set Willy: Redux.

#gamedev #retro #jetsetwilly
The update screen, informing the user that a new version is available. The download screen, downloading the new version. The verification screen, verifying the download was successful. The soft-reloaded game post-verification, showing the new version number. (Although this screenshot was actually taken after a subsequent update cycle, which is why it shows the *next* next version - 0.2.2 rather than 0.2.1.)

For those so inclined, a single-player alpha/beta version of the #ZXSpectrumNext client for Jet Set Willy:Redux is now downloadable from jetsetwilly.net

It's got some cosmetic issues to resolve, but the game is fully playable.

Major milestone today! Basic multiplayer comms between a ZX Spectrum Next (on the left) and PC (on the right) Jet Set Willy: Redux client via a headless server on PC. Still early days yet, but this is promising... This might just be doable!
