Hello people

After 3 days of crazy cramming I have finished the second section
of "The Man Who Sold the World". It's only 4 screens but it's took me
that long to do with about 4 million playtests and changes in
graphics. I think if I cram more now I can have a BETA of this by 1
week today as the final 2 sections of the game are all planned on
paper and in .txt files. But it may not happen and by a BETA I mean
rough with shells of rooms and few of the graphics complete.
Basically I mean I can skeleton the final 2 sections of the game (not
that I like doing that but I could). Excluding the ending and the few
screens which float between sections I can announce that this game is
now 55-60% complete. Since my fiancee is staying with me for 3 months
(as I'm sure you're all sick of hearing by now) I have 1 free week to
work on any projects (as I've said I don't think I'll have much time
while she's here). So I will like a lunatic, my brief respite as I
announced a couple of weeks ago has had the desired effect and my JSW
energy is re-newed. So I'm going at it like the clappers.

Hope everyone elses projects are going well.

Herve I viewed the screenshot of "The Snails Escape" it's looking
surreal, which is always a good thing.

Also Andrew the trainer is coming along nicely I've had fun playing
around with it so far.

Everyone else happy playing and editing!

Cheers

DrUnKeN mAsTeR!!!
