> Greetings Willy-watchers. Just wanted to drop a note to those that may be wondering about my MM/JSW projects. Sadly they have been put on indefinite hold by the computer they were being created on, which has been refusing to boot for several months now. I feel the files themselves are most likely safe, as they're on a non-Windows partition, but I'm going to need some help getting them off. It also seems that the actual hard disk isn't damaged, it's just a Windows error which makes the computer reset as soon as the Desktop appears.
Hope you get those files off without any probs :)
> In the meantime, I've been Super Mario World hacking and doing other side projects, but I've noticed a steady proliferation of platform or otherwise retro styled games with level designing tools in or for them recently. An interesting and recent (for me) one is "Hannah in the Pirate Caves" which seems a bit knaff at first glance but is really addictive and has great level design.
I've spotted on a few dodgy ROM sites a Mario World Hack called Sendy's World, is this yours? If so it's on a load of sites that have SNES ROMs.
> So how is everyone? Any new developments or games I should know about?
7 Days in the Sun is Still in hiatus after 6 years (yowser that long!), but I recently came up with a definitive idea for Day 4, as for the rest of the days they are still quite undetermined, and I intend to translate the club release of Day 1 into JSW 64 instead of 48k sometime in the future.
The Dark Quadrology is on hold with the second part "The Overfiend" not being touched for over a year, and the final part "You Robot!" Not being touched in almost 3.
My current JSW project is a world of Spectrum based game called "Miles Mad Mission", it's almost finished and I'm gunning for a Christmas release making it almost 2 years late haha!
I'm also working on a CGC entry, but I'm keeping quiet about that one incase somebody nicks my idea for it ;)
If I don't get that one finished for this years compo there's always next year. This will be my last JSW based CGC entry.
After I finish Miles Mad Mission I'm gonna have a break from JSW editing for a while to work on a few other Speccy related things I've been putting off for years now, and I think it's finally time to get started on them. I will still work on some JSW from time to time, but I won't be announcing anything or posting any updates for anything definite basically so I don't have to work with any deadlines I give myself cos' after this much time I've realised I'm hopeless at sticking to them.
