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 :)
