Subject: Willy again and again!

 

Hello Everybody,

I'm still here and I'm happy to see you again here too!
As you, I would like to continue to create JSW games,
but it's very difficult to find time for that...
How strange to see that we all live the same story.
I watch every week this "JSW group" site, and I hope always
that full of new and old authors will create new JSW games.
2009 is an incredible year for my family and me,
I can not tell everything but I have accomplished some of my old dreams.
I changed job, it's more interresting now but It takes me much time.
I was fortunate to visit Egypt a few weeks with my wife.
all the wonders that I saw inspired me to create my futur game
"Willy in the Great Pyramid"...
My old passions become very important,I have a new electric guitar
red and white and a new telescope allows me to search for asteroids.
to complete, I learn Chinese and Egyptian Arabic language...

My JSW games projects:

Futur game "JSW in the Islands of Mystery: Part II: The Temple"
was rather good progress last year, but I was not happy
with the result,it was not very funny or interesting or beautiful,
so I preferred to recreate it completely!
Now I have a little more time (but not too much...)
I'm going to continue. (I'm very happy to do that)
But I'd rather not give a date for his release!

For Daniel:

I'm glad to hear from you, I hope you goes well. You are
an influential person, a motor in this group of passionate
and your future projects will be a chance for all! the next release
of "The 2009 Megamix" it's very very good new!

Recently, I watched the 2005 film of Roald Dahl's _Charlie and the
Chocolate Factory_. I was intrigued by the fact that the factory
contained many named rooms, and that the proprietor was called Willy
Wonka and wore a top hat!

So it's an obvious candidate for a JSW game - perhaps even a JSW II
game, since I always thought the "Wonga" in "Wonga'S Spillage Tray"
was a misspelling of "Wonka" until I learned that Wonga was a >budgerigar!

_Willy and the Chocolate Factory_: I'm not committing myself to
writing such a game at this stage; I just thought I'd put the idea
out there.

(jet_visy was doing a MM game called Willy Wonka - based on _Charlie
and the Chocolate Factory_ and its sequel _Charlie and the Great
Glass Elevator_ - which is now "scrapped". Richard Hallas's _Jet-Set
Willy in Space_ also contains some tributes to _Charlie and the >Great Glass Elevator_.)

It's the favorite movie of my daughter.
Obviously! there are too many similarities, Willy with his hat
on his head and every scene in the movie are like rooms of JSW games.
It's a good idea to create a game with this theme.
I look forward to your new games

See You soon
Hervé
