Hello all sorry I haven't posted for a week or so but my computer has
been acting rather irate. Anyway I would like to say on the subject
of Mind Control.......Personally I liked it the second I saw the
little start up in "The Marooning". It reminded me of when I started
making things of a similar nature with JSW 128 (over 3 years ago, how
mad is that). Yes from what I've seen even though a few of the rooms
were sendys and a few are rehashes of originals, a nice and quite
original game from what I've seen (I've resisted long and hard the
temptation to flick through it with JSWED since I downloaded it). I
haven't played it very far but so far I can say it's fun, the
difficulty isn't rock, but it's not too easy and within' the first
few rooms it becomes apparent that as it progresses the tricks and
traps may become increasingly more fiendish Well Done. Also once
again Maria on Tour (sorry) I was going to release the Beta when I
announced it (with missing sprites and a blank title screen), but I
decided against it. The game itself is 100% finished, it's just the
title screen holding me back. Since I added the missing sprites over
the last 2 days I've decided to hold it back until I've finished the
title screen off. I've toyed with 3 ideas and opted for the second
(which I'm not going to say anything about here). Either way the
title screen is coming along nicely and Thursday night is my night
off so who knows you may be playing this game by friday afternoon.
Anyway I hope everything goes well with everyone and their projects
and in the meantime keep editing.
Cheers
DrUnkeN mAsTeR!!!
