THERE’S GOLD IN THAT THERE SPECTRUM – THANKS TO JAMIE BRADBURY’S GILLIGAN’S GOLD REMAKE
“I always remember Ocean for doing great games, but I found the original Gilligan’s Gold to be a stinker,” Jamie tells us. “I wondered if I could do better with modern tools.” Jamie’s chosen tool is Jonathan Cauldwell’s MPAGD (Multi-Platform Arcade Game Designer). “I don’t feel MPAGD was really made with this sort of game in mind, so that is the challenge,” Jamie adds. “The focus is on tight gameplay. Everything has to work so the player has confidence that Gilligan is going to do what you tell him. The scripting is quite complex as there are several game mechanics that all have to work together.”
