Wimbledon - The Movie came up on Saturday, and on Sunday I had to
write a big report about Maria Sharapova's triumph at the Seoul
tennis-tournament (I say Maria is a good enough excuse for
anything! ;-)
So I now plan to beta-test these games next weekend, or perhaps
Manic Person this weekend and JSW64 the weekend after that (unless I
believe that the gamma-release of JSW64 is more imminent than that
of Manic Person).
MM:Allana Truman has to be the first priority though, as I still have
to finish Rooms 16-19, and draw the boot & plinth sprites. I also
want to transfer the item-collection sound to MM in time for the
gamma-release of MM:AT on 16th November, and I'm not satisfied with
the middle third of the title-screen image.
I'm thinking of renaming the game _Manic Miner: Neighbours - Allana
Truman_ to reflect its more general Neighbours theme of the later
rooms.
So beta-testing Manic Person and JSW64 should be my second priority
next weekend; it will be my third priority under either of the
following circumstances:
(a) Maria Sharapova wins the Japan Open.
(b) Tatiana Golovin wins the Japan Open, beating Maria in the final.

commensurate with my degree of belief in when and whether they will
ever be released. Your future JSW128 games were in such positions
already.
