Hi Alex, yeh we're all pretty good here :) Just busy with life most
of the time. How're you?

Thanks for looking :) Yes, some are a still bit empty. I should be
filling most of them a bit more yet - I still have plenty of
guardians to finish off. Hopefully that will help there.

it's a graphical feature, an arrangement of guardians or some kind of
puzzle/geographical feature. That is just some constructive criticism
for you I guess..

Good point, thanks. I haven't had any feedback before, so I was
hoping someone might bite! I tend to design more in 'areas' than
single rooms, but that does have the downside you mentioned. I shall
try to add a bit more focus :) ...

You're too kind sir, thanks! The east wall reverse in the 'Mars'
area? I like the Mars bit too. Lots of hidden stuff there. And very
red!!

Yes, you should. ;)

> Now we just need Adban and Stuart to come back and give us some new
games ;)

Yeh, I was thinking that recently too. I miss Adban's quirky view of
the JSW world, and Stu's 'scientific' approach!

I'll upload more stuff soon. I'll put up a rough guide to areas in
Voyager ASAP so people have a rough idea what's out there.

I've also been working on 2 other JSW games. "Ants Invasion"
and "Phantasmagoria" (the 2nd one uses some of the abandoned rooms
from the UC MassCollab). But Voyager is the priority at the moment. I
really want to get it done, as it's been too long in the making.
