Has it really been 2 months since anybody posted here? Jeez that's a
while that is!

As usual I'll look forward to it :)

Well you'll be pleased to know my JSW related activity hasn't been
idle.

Since releasing "The Man who Sold the World", I did start work on the
second part of the dark quadrology. "The Overfiend" is 13 screens in
now, but is briefly on hold while I work on my JSW side project.

Obviously since there's been no posts here for 2 months I haven't
mentioned it here yet (I'm sure I did send an announcement, maybe I
didn't hit send?).

It's called "Miles' Mad Mission", and stars none other than that
cheeky chappy Mile from World of Spectrum (big purple head and
everything haha!). It's currently about 20 screens in, but reality
has caught up with me for now so I haven't touched it for about a
week. It's basically going to be a WoS JSW, with many parodies and
things like that about World of Spectrum (and several of the people
who frequent it).

Well there we have it :)

Nice to hear from you again Daniel, lets hope we're not the only 2
out there still working on any projects haha!

Cheers!

DrUnKeN mAsTeR!!!
