Subject: To Igor again and Sendy (this is also big)
Well Igor about UMM again I will say now I still can't find the
secret room I've had a few ideas of where it is, but as you said the
entrance is well decorated. I've found 3 candidates for the entrance
all of which I've died trying to get to or seem blocked I've used my
knowledge of quirks on these but I seem to die due to falling through
an earthblock into a sprite or I get stuck or trapped. Anyway now I
wish I hadn't finished it so soon, it's my night off at last and now
I have no game to play. I guess I'm going back to going through Shao-
Lin on the PS1 tonight.....oh well. I may add to my games for the
remainder of today then a bit tonight and tommorow morning before I
have to go to bed to resume working again (ERGH!). Anyway about
online chatting I don't use ICQ something always seems to go wrong
with my computer when I try it, I had to format my old computer about
7 times when trying to use it and in the end I gave up. This computer
just won't install it says I have a .DLL file missing (and it's
probably right, but like I say I have Yahoo Messenger and my name is
the same on that as what I sign on here with), this computer is a
joke and I'm sorely tempted to dismantle it and use the good bits
from this one and my old one and build one somewhere between the 2 of
them. I'll probably use the newer shell though as it has an extra
slot for a drive (so I wouldn't have to weld any brackets onto the
inside of it). Anyway another point I wanted to bring up about ZX
Heroes believe it or not, and I only really thought of this yesterday
after I'd posted my last message and was reminded when I read your
reply. In the readme and I think on a group message you said "Wait
for the other ZX Heroes with Maria and a surprise!". What happened? I
meant to ask you about this back at the end of 2002 start of 2003,
but I must have got sidetracked and forgotten. But I played ZX Heroes
again during the wait for UMM and I thought to myself yes I remember
I was meant to ask him about this. Can you enlighten me? I'm sure now
I've mentioned this I may be starting a chain reaction, or maybe
nobody will really be bothered. Either way I was just wondering. Also
don't you think it's a bit strange Daniel hasn't said anything about
UMM yet? He's very quiet at the moment, I wonder where he's gone?
I would've posted what was written above this hours ago but my
computer kept crashing. But since I didn't thanks for "The chasing
ring" room file. I haven't looked for the secret room yet don't know
if I have time really.
Also Sendy I like what you did do with my rooms in the masscollab,
but I noticed the new rooms you made aren't accessible by actually
playing the game. But I like the room below the toilet how it plays
on the C64 version of JSW2 and it looks quite nice. I spyed the rest
through JSWED since I couldn't reach them by playing, I especially
like "The Little Shits" I found it quite humourous. I know I should
have posted that on the actual collab site but it was quicker and
more convenient to do it here. Anyway I know you said you were all
over the place when it comes to your games, but how is the mass
collab gonna work is it free for working on now. Because if so I
could add more rooms or sprites or something to it in spirit, but I'd
really like the rooms to connect so I can get a rough idea of the
basic geography first. No hurry though, as I have plenty other JSW
related things on my plate.
Back to Igor since completing UMM have you considered UJSW? I know it
might sound crazy but you could make a trilogy of it hahaha. Call the
final part FJSW as in Final JSW. I'm not saying do it but it could be
pretty good. Also just out of interest......Will Uzor the Dog ever
see the light of day? I just thought I'd ask that.
cheers
DrUnKeN mAsTeR!!!
