Subject: Progress report with an advanced apology
Hello everyone! First I think I may have to apologise once again for
the delay on Maria on Tour. I don't think I'll meet my 16/09/05
deadline I fly for the States on the 15th and I have so much to do
before I do, that I have no idea if I'll be able to add to it. But
I'll let you all know it's about 82 rooms complete of which about 73
are fully playable. It's pretty near completion, and requires only
somewhere between 10 and 15 rooms more and I have clear mental images
of the good ones, I have a few scraps of paper lying around with
sketche and notes too. If I don't post the game by the 15th I'll take
it overseas with me, but I don't know if I'll have any time to add to
it while I'm there. The title screen is my main worry to be honest
it's simplistic but it'll take me fuckin' hours to do it. BUT!!! On a
more positive note I've prepped all 3 episodes of the down and out
trilogy for the SE's (it's only 2 years late but still), and I'm
going to try and release them as a christmas prezzie for the group
(but only if Bizarre gets finished and I don't feel the compulsion to
continue with 7 Days in the Sun). Either way since I seem to have
gibbered on about me a lot in my last posts just how is everybody's
projects going? I'm looking forward to playing some new stuff.
Another thing I just thought about this now for the first time in a
couple of months......JSW64 Mass Collab is it ever going to happen?
or can I say R.I.P to it and stop wondering what could have been? I
mean really this has so much more potential than the 128 collab
(which unfortunately I never got to add to). I was almost itchy to
take part in the 64 collab, and I really hope this is going to happen
because I think it will be insanely surreal and potentially
invincible as a group effort. The BETA release of the 128 collab
showed so much promise yet it was never finished.......my heart
sinks. Anyway misery aside I hope everybody and there projects are
doing nicely, I hope to see some more goodies in the files section
soon (rich coming from me since I've been delaying all my games since
2002/03....apart from the ones I didn't DOH!!!).
Keep editing
Cheers
DrUnKeN mAsTeR!!!
