The Demons demo is looking very impressive, although I've only seen a handful of rooms so far. I strongly urge you to complete this game,
and to fix the Real Pause Bug
[ http://www.cs.man.ac.uk/~broada/spectrum/willy/bugs.html ] so that it doesn't crash when you pause it.

Thanks for the feedback :-)
I do plan to finnish Demons next year now, since I've been pre-
occupied with "The Journey Home", I have to say I'm a lot more
pleased with the way this is turning out than Demons. Maybe I'll
release them both together ;-)

Jet Set Maria has a long way to go, as it currently looks like a
hacked-up version of the original JSW. But I like the idea of playing as Maria, and the cool start-position! It looks odd how only Maria's
feet are animated, and I'm not sure whether this is a good thing or a bad thing. ;-)

Steve tells me that he's done more rooms to it and that he'll mail me
a copy soon, watch this space..

I had an excellent idea for a JSW game the other night.. I don't want
to give anything away but, it involves having "clusters" of rooms
like you mentioned in an earlier post, and it's going to be centered
around the Megatree.. I plan to start work on it early next year :-)
