Subject: Update report on "Jet Set Willy: Mind Control"
Hello Everyone,
I just want to let you know that I have been working intensely
on "JSW: Mind Control", the game which I am creating from most of
Sendy's rooms released back in March in "The Unlucky Seven"
package. I have now got to the end of the main designing process and
have the layout of the game ready.
"JSW: Mind Control" is a 128k engine game. It has 112 rooms
altogether (technically speaking 113, but one room is basically just
a repetition of another one), including 102 rooms which can be
accessed during the game and 10 rooms belonging to the final
sequence. There are 256 items to collect. In order to be able to
finish the game one has to be familiar with the `quirky
features' of the game engine.
I would like to release a "pre-release" version of the game to the
Club members at the beginning of October, and give you all a month to
suggest corrections and improvements. Then I would like to release
the game "officially" on November 10, a year after "Willy's New
Mansion" and half a year after "JSW: The 2005 Megamix". I may not be
able to stick to this schedule because of my non-JSW obligations and
commitments, but I will do my best to keep it.
Thanks again to Sendy for letting me use those excellent rooms and
become the co-author of "JSW: Mind Control"! :-)
Thanks also to Dick Daggers and DrUnKeN mAsTeR!!! for their recent
updates about the development of their games. I look forward to
playing "Maria on Tour" very soon! I hope everyone else's projects
are going well :-) Best wishes to all of you and good luck with your
JSW work :-)
Daniel
