Subject: Concrete Release Date for Manic Person
I have been held back by various things, little time, and some weird
bugs in JSWED to do with saving and loading. It can be a bit finnicky
sometimes. I noticed it won't save in a directory other than the one
it's located - if you load a file in a diff. directory and then save,
you get a copy in the JSWED folder. This, combined with the fact that
I could only load my MM game as a .sna and that I have a messy JSWED
folder and I tried to install JSWED in a different drive where I could
keep it neater but it wouldn't look on a drive other than C and
various other things, I just got fed up with trying to fix it up.
All the obstacles have been eliminated now though so I'l going to
release Tuesday, a week after my B-day :)
Also, here's something offtopic. Today I found a C64 version of the
Boulderdash construction kit with an augmented engine and 'game
builder'. It's fascinating if you used to used the BDCK on the C64 :).
See my website for an initial writeup!
