Cheers guys look forward to the next version!  ^_^

Maybe keep it in the back pocket for a while?
 
Let's see what the other guys think (Andy, Danny?)

Personally, I believe in the players' freedom. If someone manages to record an RZX walkthrough of the game, I don't think anybody should try to stop them from publishing it on RZX Archive.
 
However, since you've asked about it, Metalmickey (thanks for asking!), it gives us some legitimation to express our preferences as to your sending your recording to RZX Archive right now or not just yet.
 
I understand the rationale behind asking you to hold it for a while. However, it is possible that while you are waiting, someone else (who may never even post anything on this forum, so we don't even know the person is at it right now) will send their recording to RZX Archive and it will get published there instead of yours (first come, first serve). In such case your satisfaction from completing the game and documenting it with a published recording (thanks to being the first one to do it) will be lost.
 
So, while I have no strong opinion on the subject, I would say, go ahead and send your recording to RZX Archive (especially if it's a good one in that you have completed the game without loss of life).
 
I think that everyone realises that RZX recordings are spoilers. So once it's published, someone who wants to tackle the game and its mysteries themselves will know that they should not download the recording (or refrain from watching it if they do download it), while those who are curious about how the game can be solved without actually wanting to have a go at it themselves will have the freedom to fulfil their desire.

Regarding Danny's post above, I'd agree. :)
 
 
Congrats from me too. I think I can say if you enjoyed playing it half as much as we did constructing it we've done well. :D

done it at 11:58, it was only when i realised there was one room i hadn't yet visited... that time constraint is a beast!
 
I really enjoyed playing it, it's taken up far too much of my time not to mention loss of sanity but it's been great fun, congrats to all involved in this wacky innovation! ... now if you'll excuse me i think i'll get some well earned sleep .. it's been a while... :wacko:

Nailed it ... RZX Available but thought i'd let you know first in case you didn't want me to spoil it for others.. 

I'll second that!

Thanks a lot for playing and for your kind comments, Metalmickey! I am very glad you enjoyed the game... and congratulations on completing it successfully!  :)

well not exactly looking for it, i know where it is ... seems to be a 'Hell' of a job trying to get to it :blink: ... however i think i have just spotted a clue in the text doc that accompanied the file... 

There's a legitimate, but very convoluted reason for that!
 
I'm glad you've provided a rationale though - he hasn't found his sea legs yet! :D
 
Meanwhile, I suppose you're all at sea looking for that last item...

indeed!, by the way, have you noticed when Willy's legs disappear when he's on the beach walking to the yacht? .. i'm guessing he's not got his sea legs yet  :D

Entrance to Hades and Tree Root ... 24 min to go in Willy's world which is about 5 min for the rest of us
:P

:) Not just yet. There will be soon though but I have slightly limited online time at the moment so it may be a couple of weeks (unfortunately)
 
 
I use it quite a lot so I tend to fall from platforms (East Wall etc) quite a lot :( :D

:P

2 items to go.... damn... this was trickier than i thought

Well in all the 32 years of it's existence and having poked it to within an inch of it's life this jumping 'technique' is probably the one thing that never occurred to me .. probably explains why never completed it

This is just a quick note to let you know that I am working on the Special Edition of my first JSW game "Willy's New Mansion". If all goes well, it will be released on 10 May, eleven and a half years after the release of the original edition.
 
It will feature two new rooms and a lot of other enhancements (custom loader and loading screen, "advanced" title screen, a lot of patch vectors, teleportation, several in-game tunes, a serious challenge concerning the time limit, two separate Game Over screens [one for losing all lives, the other for running out of time] and other elements), including some things which have never been seen, TTBOMK, in any JSW game before.
 
The download link will be announced in this thread on the release day  :) .

I can't download the attachment as its not actually 'here' anymore. Can you edit / re-attach it please ? :) Just click 'attach files' and upload it. It looks like (guess) you are using the legacy non flash uploader and chose the file name but did not click upload itself. The flash uploader will auto upload if you click and select files. You do need new flash as your browser will block outdated versions.
 
Regarding Spin from WOS: You just need to change ftp to http
http://worldofspectrum.org/pub/sinclair/emulators/pc/windows/zxspin0.666.zip Will work fine. Just re-tested it myself.

Reattached file, my bad, when i went to preview it it looked like there was 2 so i deleted 1 of them, thanks for the heads up on the Spin link by the way  :)

As requested, here's my latest somewhat futile attempt at solving Willy's nightmare complete with border quirk, notice it happens in the Bathroom, Chapel and East Wall Base
Using Spectaculator 8 as mentioned. 
 
Try walking to an item like the bathroom tap with the music off without jumping to it
 
I have only got an old version of Spin from 2007, only plays for a second or two then stops working. Tried downloading a new version from WOS but they seem to have blocked access to their FTP servers for some reason ... or maybe it's just my dodgy browser

i'm using Spectaculator version 8, it seems to be linked with sound as it occurs with the in-game music turned off and changes back as soon as any noise is made ie losing a life or jumping so this would mean that you wouldn't see it if Willy is in mid air when collecting an item. If you want i can post an RZX so you can see what i'm going on about   :)
