Subject: Update of JSW Central
I am pleased to announce that JSW Central has been updated. The changes are:
Chronology has been updated. Please let me know if you think anything is missing.
The section of the main list of games which lists games using the JSW48 game engine has been divided into two subsections: "New games" and "Advanced modifications of the original JSW".
"Jet Set Mini" has been included at No. 48 in the list of "New games". I had my reservations about it, but I decided to give it the status of a "new game", given the overall amount of changes which have been applied, including special effects (my reservations were due to the fact that visually it is not as radically different from the original as most of the "new games").
Three games have been listed as "Advanced modifications of the original JSW": "Jet Set Willy: The Nigthmare Edition", "Jet Set Mixup" and "Jet Set 40-40".
Individual pages have been created for the four above-mentioned games. The first three feature full-blown screenshot galleries. In the case of "Jet Set 40-40", only a stub picture gallery is presented so as not to give spoilers (I intend to publish a full gallery once a year has passed since the release).
A placeholder for a new section has been added in the main menu: "Minor mods of the original JSW". This section will list a selection of mods of the original "Jet Set Willy" which are not "modified enough" to be considered new games or "advanced modifications", but which are interesting for various reasons: because they feature new individual rooms, new sprites, new technical features, etc. Work on it will be my JSW priority in the near future.
The "Scope and principles" section has been updated to reflect the recent changes.
Please let me know (here or by e-mail) if you have any comments or come across any problems with the website 
.
