No... They were made 20 years ago, so it's not the coronavirus.

Yes, I've said it already in another thread (didn't see this one), but I'm happy to repeat it here: Welcome! It's great that you've joined the forum!  :D .

Thanks to Jet Set Danny, I am going to be back for a while.
 
It's good to be back here.
 
Hugs to all of you from Spain.

In fact, you can contact him (that's me) directly here, via this site.

Amazing, that's technology for you... :D

Ok, I have changed the problem with the room to the left of "All there is here is a lot of debris" (It's called "A bunch of trees - Another wall", btw).
Now it can be crossed from right to left, so you can return to Roddënwald after going to the wall in "Nothing here but debris".

I am curious... what do you think about the guardians in "Nothing here but debris"? Can you identify the inspiration I used for them?

No. No for a very looong shot. I didn't even know that screen when I designed the guardians in "Nothing here but debris".
 
Hint: they are based on real-world phenomena. Maybe it's too difficult...
 
Look at them closely; what are they?

Let's check it now; maybe you were talking about "All there is here is a lot of debris"... The teleport and the rooms after the teleport are part of a puzzle...

The RZX Archive is now hosting two RZX recordings of "Madam Blavskja's Carnival Macabre 48K", one showing a walkthrough of the original rooms only (completed at 7:55 a.m. in-game time, without loss of life), the other showing a walkthrough with the extra rooms (completed at 8:03 a.m in-game time, also without loss of life). The ZIP can be downloaded from here.
 
The recording of the original 128K edition of "Madam Blavskja's Carnival Macabre" has also been updated. It is now a ZIP package which contains both the original recording (with a buggy ending), hosted there since 2006, and a new recording of the bugfixed version (showing the proper ending), completed without loss of life at 7:55 a.m. in-game time. The ZIP can be downloaded from here. There is also a video of this walkthrough which you can watch on the RZX Archive channel on YouTube.

"Playtesting" is cool. Thanks for your efforts, Daniel.

Wow! A review, an actual review of one of my games. It's not the nicest one one could wish for, but... It's cool to have reviews!
 
Cool.

Criticism by people who don't understand our passion, along the lines of "these games are all the same", is frequent and, unfortunately, to be expected. And not to be taken too seriously, from my point of view.
 
I would just note that while it's really unjust in case of new games which are very different from the original JSW / MM (sharing with the original only the game engine and the general idea of collecting items and avoiding guardians / reaching the portal before time runs out), it might be considered more justified in case of releases which are just limited modifications of the original JSW or MM. That's one of the reasons (not the main one, by any means) why I always advocate going beyond just modifying the original games and creating something new :).

I am currently "110 items into" Roddenwald. Testing will be continued  :ph34r: .

Cool! I can't wait to see how far you will get... Will you find all the "alpha" rooms?

I managed to contact Fabi

Thanks to all of you!
 
Now, would you please go and try "Röddenwald"?

Congratulations, Danny!
And Fabian, it's a great game!

I am pleased to announce the release of the 48K Edition of “Madam Blavskja’s Carnival Macabre” .
 
First of all, my warm thanks once again to Fabián Álvarez López (Adban de Corcy) for the original 128K edition of the game and for his support for the release of this version. 
 
I would also like to extend special thanks to Ian Rushforth for his valuable cooperation and numerous contributions to the project.
 
 
You can download the game from its page on JSW Central.
 
 
You can also visit the game's *very* rudimentary home page on JSW Corner and download it from there. The same ZIP file is hosted on both websites.
 
 
The package contains:
 
- The official release file of "Madam Blavskja's Carnival Macabre 48K Edition" in the TAP format;   - The official release file of "Madam Blavskja's Carnival Macabre 48K Edition" in the TZX format (created by saving the TAP file as a complex tape file);   - The Readme;   - A ZXK file which makes it possible to play the game on the Sinclair ZX Spectrum Vega/Vega+;   - The Readme written by Fabián Álvarez López especially for the 48K Edition of the game;   - A ZIP with the release files of the original 128K edition of the game;   - A ZIP with bugfixed files of the original 128K edition (please see Section IX of the Readme for their description);   - A ZIP with some early screenshots of the game, from the time when Fabián was still working on it as a 48K before upgrading it to 128K.     The Readme (which counts over 90 pages when pasted to a Word document using Calibri 11 and single spacing) contains detailed credits and describes every aspect of the game, including descriptions and annotated disassemblies of various technical solutions used in it, some of them applied in a JSW game for the very first time.   I hope you will enjoy this atmospheric adventure, created by Fabián and presented here, with some enhancements and an option to play either the original game or with five extra rooms, in 48K.   Please let me know you've had a go at “Madam Blavskja’s Carnival Macabre 48K" - here or by e-mail. Fabián's e-mail addresses can also be found at the end of the Readme - do let him know if you have enjoyed the game!   Daniel
