Oh, my dear Carl, everything is not as bad as you wrote here. I don't
plan to leave this super club with such kind and friendly people!
Staying with this best "Y!club" I take part in - is a part of my life
since 2001 and I don't even think about leaving this club. I still
visit mostly every day and I'm planning not to stop taking activity
in it. The only thing, which I wanted to say is that I don't plan to
release any other JSW games more. (It means, that Andrew can erase
them from the list if he wishes to do it).

> Is your decision caused by the negative comments about UMM?

Haha! Carl, don't make me laugh! If I would refuse doing any work
that wasn't appreciated by all other people, I wouldn't be myself. If
this game was enjoyed only by you and all other people would hate it,
then even this fact will make me feel that all the time that I spent
next to JSWED with it was useful. Plus all the criticism about it was
constructive criticism and I absolutely agree with them in most
points.

> They were very much in the minrity, as most players seemed to love

the game.

Ofcourse =D

Carl, let's not to discuss my personal reasons why I dicided to do
it. One of the biggest reason is that I met russian ZX fans and with
one of them, we now create a "boulder" game that will be a TOTALLY
NEW BOULDER GAME, NEVER SEEN BEFORE.

OH MY GOD, CARl!!! I'M NOT GOING TO LEAVE THIS WORLD AND TELEPORT TO
ANOTHER GALAXY! So much talented JSW\MM creators exist here and I
suppose that many new will find this club and will create super new
JSW games.

Forget it.

Yes, ofcourse!! =D Main hero is a MINER too! Though he looks
absolutely different than Willy, but he wears a helmet too and has 4
different ink colours in his sprite.

Are you laughing! I'm not playing games already for a several years!
I only play old ZX games and some old new remakes.

Carl, I will write you a personal letter in WOS.
