JSW with scrolling

Thanks for the link, AukonDK! It looks very nice, I must say. This kind of "moderate scrolling" solution works very well.

And please don't apologize for resurrecting an old thread 🙂 . New info is always appreciated, and the JSW games scene (at least the Spectrum one) has seen a number of projects resurrected and released after many years - and it's just awesome to see such things happen! 🙂

Thank you for posting this @AukonDK. I appreciate it.

It's a shame the licensing / ownership of Jet Set Willy is such a mess. Otherwise I'd happily release it to the public. Matthew Smith has seen a video of it though, and he liked it, so that's enough approval for me. 🙂

A couple of beneficial game play changes are noticeable from the walkthrough:

- The item on the edge of Conservatory Roof is now collectable;

- You can safely drop down either side of a rope from the room above, provided you get the timing right (which you can also do because you can preview the room below from above).

i think releasing it entirely as freeware wouldn't be too troublesome, right?

What a wonderful JSW remake, what creative ideas and good visuals! Another thing that caught my attention is that you seem to use the Amstrad cpc version of JSW's music (it sounds atmospheric and I really like it), is there any way to download that track? Or is it just a reworking of an existing piece? (Just like the C64 version)

Hi! I grew up with the MSX version of Jet Set Willy 2 - which used the same music as the Amstrad version. For the remake I arranged/composed 24 different variations on the music which cross-fade depending on which room you are in / what state the game is in. There are a few cheeky nods to other games / franchises in there for a bit of fun.

That piece was originally composed by Steve Wetherill who worked on the CPC version. He kindly gave me his blessing to rearrange it and include it in the remake.

There's no way to download it. I suppose I could make a longer edit of certain variations. Might be an interesting project in itself!

I've been wondering about this tune for a long time, so thank you for your answer. And while it would be a shame not to get to this remake, it's a testament to itself that there's still plenty of room for innovation and life in JSW. Thumbs up again for your remake!😁
