If you pop over to my website, you can download a demo of one

Well, I just had a quick look at Demons. It's looking pretty good :)
If I may make a suggestion though, why not remove Willy's arms to
make him look like he's in a straight-jacket? Just a thought good idea :)demons looks great! it's amazing how each game has it's own unique
atmosphere about it, and how authors have their own style... despite the stark restrictions of the room format (which i have come to know and love equally!).i eagerly await this and your other JSW games.. as well as your PC
projects :)
Cheers :)
I tried removing Willy's arms to make him look as if he's in a
straight-jacket and it looks odd to say the least! I might keep it
still ;)
"The Journey Home" (my other JSW game) has a different feel to other
JSW games. What do other authors feel about "one-way" type games? I
haven't come across any yet. The downside is I think it doesn't allow
for much freedom of exploration but it adds a certain element of
adventure to it. Try and imagine something like Ghosts 'n Goblins in
JSW format ;)
"Willy vs The Blair Witch" is coming along nicely.. I'm designing
this whilst trying to update my editor and game engine. It's about 35
screens complete.
Oh, and a friend of mine has been messing around with JSW editing too
and came up with a rather odd game called "Jet Set Maria". It's
unfinnished but he's offered me the file (i think its a SNA) to
upload to my website.. watch this space :)
