Oh and I might as well tell everyone, I had another dream about
JSW. I know you're all just dying to hear it ;). Actually it was
about JSWED. There was a new build of JSW64 and it let you have
multiple conveyor animations; the catch was that you could only
have one direction (left or right) per row. I was really excited
(sad I know)!
I even remember deleting my "guardian conveyors" from Death TV 2
because they were no longer needed. When I woke up I was annoyed
because these dreams just tease you. I haven't even thought much
about JSW recently and have hardly touched it in months o_O

Dreams can be fascinating things, and I always try to find a use for
my good dreams!

O God! I could be bounded in a nutshell,
and count myself a king of infinite space,
were it not that I have bad dreams.

[William Shakespeare,
Hamlet, Prince of Denmark: Act II, Scene II]

The dream that inspired the opening cavern of _Ma jolie_ also
featured a JSW editor that supported extra guardian-types, such as a
3D tree(!).

I had a strange dream recently in which I was in... how can I
describe this... a small hill with a hole the size of a small room
dug into it. In JSW terms, the hill was like a combination of wall-
blocks and ramp-blocks - green ink on black paper - albeit in 3D.

There appeared to be something like a giant wasp in the hill behind
the hole, as legs, antennae and clumps of yellow fur were protruding
from little holes in the hill. I woke up with the intriguing
words "ESSENCE OF WASP" on my mind.

Oh and that game I said I might make in the States never happened.
Toooo much other stuff. Maybe soon..

But when will we see the gamma-releases of role reversal and
manic person?
Of Dan Richardson's Demons?
Of the special edition of ZX Heroes?
Of Vampire Hunter Willy?
Of the JSW128 Mass Collaboration?
