Subject: Broadsoft MM/JSW release-dates
By now, it's fairly obvious that I won't be able to get both JSW64MM:
James Bond v1.1 and JSW64: Flash Manic Miner gamma-released in 2008.
Therefore, I have decided to concentrate on getting JSW64:FMM out by
the end of the year (and, I hope, update my website: including my
List of MM/JSW Games).
The next Bond-film won't be released until 2011, so I would rather
take my time and do my utmost to make v1.1 everything it can be, than
cut corners for the sake of a 2008 release. It was important to
write "Quantum of Solace" while the film was still fresh in my mind,
but v1.1 should also have an easy variant, the music edited, and the
room-documentation written.
I plan to release James Bond v1.1 in the first half of 2009 -
possibly on 28th May, which will be the 101st birthday of Ernst
Stavro Blofeld - and would also have been Ian Fleming's, had he not
died. I think it would be quite appropriate to mark the original Bond-
author's birthday with the first release of James Bond's ROOMS.TXT,
in which I too will have much to write about Bond!
As for Ma jolie, I plan to release Special Edition 2009 on 17th
February, which will be the tenth anniversary of the dream that
inspired me to start the game - the dream in which I saw the first
cavern so vividly!
