Good stuff! Glad to hear it, I also impatiently await your new
stuff :)

I'm a little paranoid now as day 3 of 7 days in the sun, is set in a
temple imaginatively called "The Dark Temple", Willy enters this
place in order to face several trials which will reward him with the
freedom of his friends and family. The Dark temple may however span 3
or 4 days of the 7 days. So it's a pretty big temple, I haven't
decided weither each game will take you up or down a level in the
temples geography or maybe across, I was toying with the idea of
Willy getting lost in another dimension for a day with upside down
things and dinosaurs and stuff. If I was to do this chances are it
would be day 4 (slap bang in the middle of everything basically).

When I get around to adding to this massive project (I think the BETA
of day 1 is still available for DL here from the files section), I
would like to say for the benefit of Andrews records/list it is still
going to be multi-format (I was going to upgrade Day 1 to JSW 64, but
I don't think I really need to, I do however need to tidy it slightly
before I gamma release it, the toilet run is just terrible, very
rough indeed).

So 7 Days in the Sun is not dead for those who where wondering (or
forgot about it), it's just putting it's feet up and having a cup of
tea at the mo'.

Phew! I dunno where I got the enthusiasm from there, it's been a
while since I've had to apologise for typing an epic :)

I'll look forward to it!
