This is an independent, unofficial fan project, not an official Johnny Castaway release. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Microsoft or Activision, or by the original creators or any other rights holders. The author does not own Johnny Castaway or its original copyrighted assets; those rights belong to their respective owners.

This JavaScript rewrite decodes the original Johnny Castaway resources and executes their ADS and TTM animation programs in the browser.

The format research, recovered story catalogue and walking tables derive from Peter Smith’s [JohnnyCastaway](https://github.com/tallPete/JohnnyCastaway), revision `f83f3354e24a85da23b94e1db35cf37020cd11f2`, and Jeremie Guillaume’s [jc_reborn](https://github.com/jno6809/jc_reborn). The implementation also ports the user’s native `ssv5` reconstruction and uses its independent reference fixtures. Source code and derived tables are GPL-3.0-or-later; see LICENSE. Copyright © 2026 the ss-js contributors; reference work copyright © 2026 Peter Smith and its respective contributors.

Johnny Castaway, the artwork, scripts, audio, characters, and stories were created by Shawn Bird, Jeff Tunnell, and the Sierra/Dynamix team. The original resource files supplied by the user are separate from the source-code license.

Earlier format research includes Hans Milling (JCOS), Alexandre Fontoura (castaway), and the Johnny-Castaway-2026-Public project. The edge-aware Scale2x/Scale3x reconstruction retains the original artwork and animation frames.
