Bing Bong. Jet Set Willy Online 3.x coming soon.

Yup, it’s been a long time a coming, but Stu is finally back on JSWO. Which means, well, we’re all back on JSWO as soon as Stu is ready to fire his bits over. Weirdly enough, only last week I started putting the manual together properly as something non-brainy to do, so a pleasant surprise to get the calling. You’ll be glad to know the game is finally going to ship with a map editor… as for the rest of the new features? Dunno yet. We’re still thinking.

Bing Bong. Long presumed dead game found down back of sofa.

I know, I know. You’d have thought I’d have learnt my lesson… doesn’t it look purdy though? My “solo” contribution to the RRCD is a special version of my abject failure Vector Infector, written from scratch. Copious notes taken. Definitive idea of where to go and now with nice rendered graphics to boot. More on this in the next update, though… it’s not shit and it’s not broken though ;)

Bing Bong. Georges Squizzy Griffin engine up and running. Just maps to add. Also due in August.

It’s up, it’s running and it works beautifully. Scott’s taken charge of the first level so it won’t be in my hands proper for a while. It’s going to be a right bastard :-)

Proper Dev update and stuff later tonight, promise. In the meantime, I’m posting shit to tumblr until I get bored of it and wonder off.
