My very modest JSW website has been online since December 2004, kindly
hosted by Xabier Vazquez at http://xa.bi/jsw (see message # 4623). Its
basic purpose so far has been to be a homepage for my games.

The website has just been updated, and currently it is the home page
of the games: "Willy's New Mansion" (by myself), "JSW: The 2005
Megamix" (by myself, Paul Equinox Collins and several other
authors), "JSW: Mind Control" (by myself and Sendy) and "JSW in Paris"
(by Herve Ast). So really it has now become the home page of games by
myself and by various other authors. Independently of my other plans,
I would like to keep this website just for those games.

My rather ambitious plans for a comprehensive MM/JSW website
(described in detail in messages 4854 nd 4857) are still valid. As of
today, the website will probably be called "Miner Willy Central" (or
possibly "JSW Central") and I should give credit for this idea to
Richard Hallas who has suggested those names. I would say I am in the
preparatory phase now, moving forward slowly (taking screenshots of
the existing games, making maps, etc.). It would be unreasonable to
expect the website to be launched any time soon - there's just too
much work to do. However, I have decided to post some products which I
am creating for the future website (like maps) on my current website.
If Xabier does not object (and I know he won't :-) ), I will start
putting these things on my current website later this spring,
hopefully. I will make a proper announcement when the time comes.

Thanks for pointing that out. It's been fixed now :-)


Also, I would like to thank Dr. Andrew Broad very much for hosting the
definitive version of Sendy's and mine "JSW: Mind Control" on his
website since its release until now :-) . From now on, the game can be
downloaded from http://xa.bi/jsw/mindcontrol.htm , so basically there
is no need for Andrew to continue hosting it (if will be an honour if
you do, Andrew, but I don't want to abuse your web space :-) ).
