(Sorry.)
It's video recording day tomorrow, and one of the games I'll be putting out next week (spoiler, I guess) will be the second part of Jill of the Jungle: Jill Goes Underground. The reason for this is that I enjoyed playing through the first Jill of the Jungle so much that I want to play the rest! There was just something about that game that really "clicked" with me… and I was left wanting more. And there is more, so I'm going to play more.
In fact, I've actually been so eager to play more I've had to stop myself from just booting it up today to fiddle around with, because I want my playthrough on video to be "blind". I mean, I doubt you care, but I thought it would be more fun to discover things for the first time alongside you lot.
Anyway, I'm really hoping for some more magnificently stupid sound effects, as heard in the first game, and an overall feeling of "expansion" from the first one. That was ever the shareware way; subsequent episodes after the free shareware one would inevitably be recognisable, but have immediately noticeable differences — new music, new graphics, new sounds and, of course, new levels.
Because Jill's presentation is relatively simple, I find myself wondering exactly what will be added in the new game. But I'm certainly looking forward to finding out. It's weird when something relatively unremarkable catches your attention, isn't it? I mean, Jill of the Jungle is a fondly regarded game with good reason — plus an important part of Epic's history — but it's far from the best platformer you'll ever play. And yet I can't stop thinking about it.
Ah well. That thirst will be slaked tomorrow!
