Subject: Re: MM GBA screenshots
"The screenshots do look fairly mediocre - there
are several caverns from the original MM (I thought
this was an update?), and the new caverns seem to be
ordinary - no new features at all (though that may be a
good thing...)"
I dunno. A couple of them look
good, and I might use them as inspiration for that JSW
game I was tinkering with at the start of
Summer*
I think that with all due respects, this project is
going to fail commercially, but I might just be biased.
It seems the Playstation generation tend to prefer
the more explosive goodies on offer with the state of
the art games they're used to. Hell, I've never
managed to expand the JSW audience among my friends by
even one measly fan. More likely than not the new JSW
game will remain a cult item, along with the
originals
*bah, watch Jestersoft come down on me now like a ton
of bricks over a game that stands at five rooms and
a crude layout, that may never see the light of day
;)
