JSW (rooms 47 and 61-63). I did start editing JSW2 using JSWED, but
it was just a doodle rather than a scribble, and I'm so dissatisfied
with the results so far that I'm 99% sure it will never be released;
I'm doubtful it will even be continued.
I never meant to become a MM/JSW author. It just happened the day I
opened Manic Miner in JSWED and started scribbling. As soon as I had
written the first room, I knew I had created something that was too
unique to waste.
But I'm not going to write essentially the same game over and over
again, and I just can't get the inspiration to come up with anything
else worthwhile for JSW.
I hope my legacy to MM/JSW will be that scribbling is an interesting
alternative approach to room design (especially to compensate lack
of inspiration! ;-) My dream is that some of the great MM/JSW authors
will throw in a few scribbles once in a while, just as today's
glamorous pop songs often include a rap section.
