An in-game sprite editor for creating custom Willies. The edit window is in the top left, the palette is to the right. Tool Select and Animation Preview are below that, and the Frame Select area is across the bottom of the screen along with Instructions.
Working on the Custom Willy editor.

"Don't threaten me with a good time, muskrat!"
Yep. Bluesky wrecks images.
More work on Atic Atac 3D, with the emphasis on "stairs".
Ooh. This is nice!
It's probably going to wreck the image quality but this shows the the MC paths in the original 60 room JSW map.
This is a single room of JSW - The Bathroom - showing the MC paths generated by the simulator.
Some of the game modes in Jet Set Willy: Redux could be improved with route markers, so I've been working on Monte Carlo simulations to determine optimal routes. It may come in useful for other stuff down the road, too.

The final image from Jet Set Willy after completing the game. Willy rushes from his bedroom to the bathroom and dives headfirst into the toilet.
The final image from Manic Miner after completing the game. Willy stands outside his new mansion and the level exit turns into an icon representing a swordfish for some bizarre reason.
I've been quiet on the #JetSetWilly front, but it's mostly been bug-fixing, refactoring and tidying, and a bit of polish.
I've been giving the single player modes a bit of love by implementing their game completion sequences.

I've been working on how the A and B buttons will work in Melkhior's Tower. It's been a headache! Read more at bitglint.itch.io/melkhiors-to...

Good morning #godot feed. I keep this google doc in my back pocket, if you would like resources on how to learn Godot, please, by all means: docs.google.com/document/d/1...
I just want you to to be able to make cool stuff! Holler if I can help #gamedev #indiedev

One of the rooms from the original Jet Set Willy rendered using a gorgeous tileset from an old mobile phone conversion of the game.
I spent some of today working on custom map/tileset support. This tileset was extracted from an old mobile phone version of the game.

Is it Maze-Ogs or Maz-Ogs? Is it Maze-I-ackS or Maz-icks?
I only ask because I'm unsure of what I should be screaming. Now they're running at me in 3D!?

A screenshot of a JSW:R "tag" game with 6 players. The game theoretically supports up to 16 players.
That was a cracking test session! Mostly minor glitches - nothing too serious or game breaking. Hopefully they will be easy to track down and fix.
Network performance was pretty good - some players saw a little bit of lag, but nothing too terrible.

A zoomed in portion of the first Manic Miner level (The Central Cavern) showing some partially crumbled platforms.
I figured out a sensible way to handle the crumbling platforms in a multiplayer context for the multiplayer #ManicMiner map in #JetSetWilly #Redux: I have them "uncrumble" after a few seconds.

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

Some of the special baddies from the original Melkhior's Mansion will be making an appearance in Melkhior's Tower. Not 100% sure what they'll do yet, I need to figure that out. bitglint.itch.io/melkhiors-to...

Good test session today!
Most of the networking issues are fixed, and it's mostly just tweaks to gameplay modes needed.

I've got email accounts older than you, boy.
And then I checked your profile, and all was revealed.
I'm not sure why you'd feel compelled to make the original post, so it all evens out.

Screenshot of Jet Set Willy Redux, a retro pixel-art platform game. The character MauS stands on the left side of a red-orange platform in a room titled “The Bathroom” (Room ID: 32). The level contains multiple platforms, a diagonal ramp leading upward, and vertical shafts made of patterned blocks. Three floor mines sit on the lower platform near MauS—two armed mines colored red and yellow, and one unarmed mine colored blue/cyan. A yellow collectible item appears on a platform to the right, above a cyan line. Interface panels surround the play area: a host information log at the top with connection messages, a player/lobby panel on the right showing MauS as the only player, and a status bar along the bottom displaying Items collected: 0 and the in-game time 7:02am, along with small colored character icons representing players.
Mines! Players can now drop mines in multiplayer mode.

Seconded.

Excuse the crappy phone video, but I put a bit of effort into solving the network drift problem today, ensuring guardians stay synced across different clients without bogging down the network with excessive traffic. This one's been running an hour or so.
