Subject: "Willy's New Mansion" Special Edition - release delayed
I have to inform everyone interested that the release of the Special Edition of "Willy's New Mansion" will be delayed a little bit. There are two reasons I have not been able to keep my self-imposed deadline:
1. The workload related to creating and playtesting the game and writing and proofreading the Readme file has proved to be excessive in relation to the spare time allowed by real life.
2. Some more bytes have been freed up thanks to optimisations suggested by friendly contributors over at the JetSet Willy & Manic Miner Community, especially Ian Rushforth (IRF), and some new elements have been and will still be introduced in the game. This will enrich it, but, logically, requires more time.
I do not want to rush the release in any way. The quality of the game and its being a final, definitive product are the most important. Therefore, I will not set any new release date for the moment other than to declare that ideally I would like to postpone the release not more than a few weeks. Both the game file and the Readme are in its final stages, so it should not be too long now before they are ready.
I am sorry to disappoint the thousands of aficionados who have been waiting eagerly for today 
. I trust that the quality of the game will fully compensate you for your prolonged wait. So watch out for the release announcement coming to these page soon!
