Thank you very much! Though, vodka is deeply connected with Russians
in minds, not all of us drink it. For example, me. I prefer less
alcoholic Russia drinks like Sbiten', Kvas, Champagne and some sorts
of wine. I don't like beer and I've never drink gorilka, a famous
Ukranian 40% booze. People in Russia drink beer more than vodka.
I mentioned that I was 16 when released my first game (or 17). (It
was in 2002 and I bagan my JSW-creating career in 2000). Three years
passed and I'm 20 now.

drawn scripts (sequences of guardians, blank guardians, switches,
vanishing walls, triggers and stoppers), avaible in JSW64 =) Thanks
to new guardian classes in JSW64.

Again, unusual using of new features of JSW64.

anything, he will just have a limited air supply in that room and
will be able to jump high, not being hurt from falling. He will swim
in "Wacky Amoebatrons", "Revenge of amoebatrons" and some other new
rooms. To cut a long story short, he will swim the same way as Maria.
I have no free place for extra 8 "swimming Willys" sprites. SO he
will look the same way as always, though, needs to add, in some
rooms, he will wear a suit (you can see Willy in a special suit on
the screenshots of the UMM - in central cavern)
