Subject: Things........for a change!
First up thanks for the new MM Andrew, it's pretty difficult, and I
see some of the stuff you've been working on has found it's way in
there. It'll be pretty sweet once you get your lifts patch working
properly and stuff. As always I'll look forward to the finished
product :)
Anyway it's almost Chrimbo, which means it's almost been another year
that I haven't finished one of the JSWs I said I'd have finished.
Good news is I may be able to get the finished version of TMWStW out
by Christmas failing that before the year is up. As save for building
the ending, and tweaking the title screen, the game only has between
2.5 to 5 screens left to do. I have not yet decided weither to add
any more rooms but I may, but probably not all 5. So lets hope I can
finally get the first part of the Dark Quadrology out this year
(about 2 years late, but hey, what can you do?).
I still worry that some of the ideas and rooms are out of date ,
before I've even released them (basically because it's taken me so
long to get this far). But I definitely have a feeling that it will
mainly be the group members that appreciate this game and maybe not
the entire Speccy community. I say this basically because I have
actually put in some thought out QF's this time. Not many but some,
by which I mean more than 1 which is about how many my games usually
get (and sometimes not even on purpose :D). Things like jumping
through ILBs to drop you down a level, collecting items from on top
of earth blocks with timed jumps., and the old classic item between
earth block and fire block. Also there's maybe a few too many in
jokes, that a lot of people may not get, but I'm not changing them
now.
Cheers
