Hi guys, hi dear Sendy!
Missed you so much.
Ultimate Manic Miner is the hardcore jsw gaming with a low respect to the newcomers. The target audience would probably be crazy jsw players like Andrew Broad. Better play it on youtube.
Over hype? Probably. The effect of the youth maximalism.
I'm fine and this is my first actual day on the forum. So much has been going on here. Forward to stay in touch more and, might be, return to jsw scene if I find the way to launch jswed on my mac.

In 2012 I had a project on creating a design for a non-formal underground club for cinema lovers. It was real fun, I had almost no limits on my creativity.
Besides all other work, I was needed to design arrows that could navigate guests to the toilets and the bar. Guess, who the main characters are?

I haven't tried, yet it seems there will be no problem. It doesn't depend on the current version only. I haven't used it due to unstableness, so it might be a good idea to mark it a the final stable one.
Was so inspiring to launch a software I haven't been using for almost 20 years straight

Well done, Igor! 😁
Did you try porting JSWED version 2.3.7 as well, by any chance? Even though John Elliott describes it on his website as "the latest Unstable Version", it is really THE version to use, IMPO, unless you like/are used to 2.2.9 so much that you want to stick to it. 2.3.7 is at least as stable as 2.2.9, in my experience.
In fact, now that I've looked it up, I can see that v. 2.3.7 was released on 7th April 2015. So a month from now it will be 10 years since its release. High time to change the description, John, if you happen to read these words! 😉

I'd like to share my experience on creating unique presents to the girls I was into: Marina the firequest and Lena vs Margo.
As you can guess, they are adressed to two girls, whom I wanted to impress in a non-standard way: Marina and Helen (Lena).
— Flowers or box of sweets? Nah.
— Games, made by yourself, where every room represents some story of your relationship? YES.
Worked as a charm!
— Is that me? Have you made it yourself? Oooh!
— Yep, and that's me drawing a picture of you, and — see — there is your lovely kitty above the frame!

Works for the type of women who appreciate creativeness over fake emotions, those non-glamorous best type girlfriends.
Have you ever gifted games or used them to play with SO? Invited your gfs to play JSW?

Yes, and here is Frosya with her kittens in real life: the main heroes of the game.

Those curtains are incredible!

That is me, playing my own game in october 2002. By that time I've already started creating Zx Heroes.

Daniel, thanks for such outstanding archive of UMM mentiones. Haven't been tracking reactions, honestly.
A few thoughts:
I haven't been disappointed, I was quite sure, that "ultimate" word in the title means I haven't lied to the audience: it was ultimate difficult, ultimately different and it was jsw engine at its ultimate limits. It was experimental and experiments could be faced like that. Important that it hasn't been unnoticed, which is worse of all for me. Besides that, it was my final year at the art university and I started working, no time left. I got GF (one, then another, many of them), so had to spend less times on gaming. UMM took lots of my time! Spoiler: jsw games were super successful original presents. A bit geeky, but works for the right type of women. Almost lost interest in retro gaming, was quite interested in playing Boulder Dash Gdash clone by Artsoft for the past year. Can recommend! Small JSW games are not that bad, by the way. They are fun and not so ultimate to finish, can be played even without a rollback hell. Even Zx Heroes wasn't too long and it was appreciated. I think if I'll return to jsw making, I'd stick to this genre. I'm fine, live in Moscow, married, have kids, run a business (place branding, developing tourism, design, wayfinding, maps).

I did check your site via your links, I like your drawings and their colours! 🙂
