#JetSetWilly
Games that remind me of my Dad #ZXSpectrum #Retrogaming #JetSetWilly, after Dad had given up with Manic Miner along came #JetSetWilly. After learning the 'writetyper' cheat he would spend hours trying to discover as many rooms as possible.

Reposting to catch the time difference.

Jet Set Willy: Redux single player beta available for ZX Spectrum Next download.

#Retro #ZXSpectrumNext #JetSetWilly #ScreenshotSaturday #Gamedev
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!

It just occurred to me, I should have added a #ScreenshotSaturday tag to this video of the work-in-progress #ZXSpectrumNext version of JSW:Redux.

It's a debug build, so it's not quite as snappy as I'd like yet, but the core mechanics are in there. Still a long way to go though.

I added a feature to Jet Set Willy: Redux that should be vaguely familiar with fans of the original game. #JetSetWilly #Python #GameDev #retro

Jet Set Willy: Redux was briefly featured in the #RGDS podcast. You can see it here youtu.be/qgkeVYZ9Qto?... at about the 2m30s mark.

New multiplayer trap types for Jet Set Willy: Redux.
In addition to mines, we now have banana skins, whisky bottles, orchids, glue, and springs.
The video shows the effect of each.

(It also shows off a Custom Willy designed with the in-game editor.)

So, the PC/Mac/Linux version of JSWR is approaching the 1.0 release and, barring a few bugs, seems pretty stable.
That means its time to work on phase 2 of my evil plan (TM).

I spent some of today working on custom map/tileset support. This tileset was extracted from an old mobile phone version of the game.

Finally! Got the #JetSetWilly Redux in-game map working more or less how I want it on the #ZXSpectrumNext.

Just a few more tweaks and optimizations needed and it will be at parity with the PC version (downloadable as jetsetwilly.net).

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

It's so weird seeing #JetSetWilly Redux running on real #ZXSpectrumNext hardware.

Swinging into 1984! On Sunday night at Hutton Rudby Village Hall, I'm re-creating the entire year from my 1984 diary and I've now planned the whole evening on my ZX Spectrum computer. Come and join me - tickets in the link below. #retrocomputing #jetsetwilly
