- Regarding Manic Person and JSW: Role Reversal:
Unfortunately I've not been able to get hold of Vidar by email, so I'm
still waiting on him for the special routine for this program. I wish
I had acted sooner when he initially offered, and I hope he's OK, as
he usually responds. Hopefully he's having a break/holiday or something.
Manic Person references JSW: RR so I can't release that until after
otherwise there will be something of a small scale anachranism.
- Regarding Death TV and Death TV 2:
I think I said already, DTV is cancelled, but I'll release what I had
in a 'museum format'. The quality parts of DTV will go into DTV2.
I've also decided to postpone DTV2, because I want to see what more
will go into JSWED/JSW64. It's going so well and I want it to be the
best it can be. Since I suspect JSW64 might be updated in the
(possibly distant) future I'm willing to wait. I mean machine world
really needs some cool things like moving platforms and what have you.
If John doesn't add anything to JSW64 there's always patch vectors.
Just got to find someone willing to help out.
That's kind of the 'bad news'. The good news is that I'm going to
release my DTV2 file to the club. It has quite a lot of playable JSW64
rooms and some neat tricks. Hopefully it might give people ideas. I'm
also going to make another JSW64 game to bide my time, which will use
the current features in '64 to their fullest potential. This won't be
a Willy game either, I'm going to try and develop my own character and
atmosphere.
