Last week, one of my quickly cobbled together test tunes for JMTrackr was the old Manic Miner ingame music. If you download JMtrackr, you'll find it in the Retro folder.

I created it quickly, made a little mp3 of it in random mode, and plopped it up on Socoder.

People seemed to fall in love with the idea of me making a Manic Miner clone, and over the course of the past few days, that's escalated somewhat..
People really seem to want me to make a Manic Miner type thing.-=-=-

Spinal even went so far as to make a little mockup pic of a possible game..

So I'm going to do that..
Well, not exactly that. It won't be Platdude for starters. Platdude that a very specific set of control rules, and they're not exactly compatible with a miner-esque engine. Instead, I've created an all new shitty looking character to run around the place.
For the meantime I'm calling him Karl, after the title character from the Amstrad classic Karl's Treasure Hunt.
He doesn't look anything like Karl, nor does he move in Karl's quirky ways, but for some odd reason his name popped into my head! So that's his name..


I'm not entirely sure what the game will end up looking like, nor do I know how good it's going to be.. Or how many levels it'll have, or how hard they'll be.
But it's something I've started.

We'll have to wait and see how it comes out.
