Super ZZT Land

[bitbot]

One last sneak peek while I labor away..

[bitbot]

So I was doing some research and found this cool video showcasing MS-DOS games of 1992 (the year SZZT was released) Groundbreaking era: http://youtu.be/D6E4FZdY-pM



As you may know, Sweeney's Jill of the Jungle was released that same same year. Notice the similarities to Super ZZT? I think it's fitting to lift some inspiration off this, having played it before ever knowing about ZZT. Also, I just so happened to have this zap conversion lying around.

Jill also has a level editor: http://www.shikadi.net/moddingwiki/Usin ... vel_editor

Here I go to put it on zzt ultra site to see it already added! Interesting the choices of what notes to play vs which not to.

[bitbot]

Commodore: Thanks for noticing! I especially had to pick and choose what notes to keep. Hope I did the original justice.

Chris: Thanks for the add, thought you might like it! Sounds great with the new engine, too.

Jill of the Jungle had a level editor?

[bitbot]

Not much left to do but flesh out the level.
Did the opening scroll today:

Commodore really came thru with this crane game engine! I added another coat of shellac.


edit: original circa 2012

[Commodore]

Looking great! You're using zap to make this? right? Or are you just navigating the danger zone that is szzt's editor?

[bitbot]

Yea definitely using zap but keeping one foot in that old wonky editor

For the record, I don't plan on finishing this. I hope to earn a living with fine art doing oil paintings and stuff.

Big thanks to everyone! I learned a lot from you guys.

bitbot,
Over and out.
