Subject: while i'm here... JSW (again)
incidentally, i, too, am stuck in the maria room,
wondering if it's possible to get out.. :)
the
overall impression when looking at the room layouts is
that of a sort of huge computer crash, and everything
just getting garbled.
imagine an alternate
reality in which there was a power surge the moment that
matthew smith transferred JSW from his mainframe and into
a spectrum, and this is how i would expect it to
turn out :) ... especially given that most of the
block graphs are kept intact from the
original.
no bad thing though. while i spend ages polishing my
screens, i like this disjointed, minimalistic style and
may have to try a game like this for myself. i'm
thinking of making it 48k but will probably wait for the
geoff mode editor (i know there's going to be one
sooner or later :) before i do that.
anyway, it's
pretty inspirational, and despite their haphazard
appearance, the rooms are very clever, and fun to play
(especially liked 'rampant')
phil, do we have an eta
on YAMMS: ER yet? i can't wait to play it :)
