Jet Set Willie

Thank you, Daniel, I haven´t watched these before. 🙂 I expected these to be songs but they were poetry. Thank you whoever you are who did these, they were interesting and well made. 🙂

Perhaps you could contact both of them?

There´s just one room missing now, I think. 🙂

Thank you, Danny. 🙂 It will take some time to get it to that stage, but I have worked a lot for it, so perhaps the release candidate date might be earlier than I think. 🙂

A bit of report about the "Mansion". It´s room development stage is now 90%. Currently there are just two rooms missing, unless I should change my mind and change something. Several rooms will need a new playtesting and possible changes to make them more playable. No music yet, though now I know how I can do it, thanks to Lemmy. 🙂 They won´t be tracker tunes, though, but a "Caveman way" of making music, as Lemmy described it.👩‍🦱🦴

No problem at all. 🙂 Thank you for your progress report, too! 🙂 It´s hard to understand how you can be so fast with your developing! 😄 Perhaps you are using some Hogwarts´ time warp potion... Ooops! Didn´t mean to let everybody know that! I am sorry. 😄 Again thank you for letting me know the problems with the version z. If I will ever do another game after these two, I will probably not use the z, as even with the "normal versions", there have been enough times to sort out what color combinations will make the cells work in each room. The version y sounded good back in time, but while doing tests I had troubles with the three global cells. Perhaps I could sort it out, though. 🤔

I haven´t actually used the version 64z, I have just made several tests in the past. It was a very interesting version, but I think there were some problems in it what would have made my game developing troublesome. So your answer was interesting to read. 🙂 Thank you!

Thank you, Hervé! 🙂 I can read a part of your message, but I had to use a translator to read the rest. 🙂 I will paste the translator translated text here so any non-native french speaker can read your helpful answer, too. 🙂 Hello, Oh no, despite its name, the park is not open yet! Far from it. I must bring the Yeti here; it's going to take time... But I hope the park will open this summer. I didn't answer your question immediately because I wanted to make the answer as complete as possible so that it could help all authors. For this game, I'm using the 64z version of the JSWED editor. 2.3.1 It allows the earth block to be colored with any color. Great for an amusement park theme. I detected two problems. Since then, I've been adapting to move forward, but it takes me longer. 1st problem: the blocks of earth become blocks of water: With the 64z version, this "1" earth block can be coloured with all possibilities. A window allows you to choose the colours of this block of earth If I choose a color that is not already used for another block of water, fire or other, the block created will be a block with the pixels of the earth block "1", but turned into a block of water. So I can't use it as a block of earth, because Willy will be able to cross it. Second problem: change the color of the blocks If I change the color of a block in the room, this block transforms with the pixels of the Earth block "1". This is still the case. I will take the example of a finished piece "distorting mirrors" The earth block "B" is light blue and dark blue I will change it with an unused color with another block: pink and yellow Here is the result for my piece the pixels of the earth block "1" appear I do not replace the block of third time and rose « b » for which we are now in complete in my feet It´s not a problem for game creation, But it takes me time every time I have to change the color of a block. This must be done. I hope this was helpful. Have a good day everyone. Hervé

The Spectrum can do more than you can think of! 😉😄

Could you please describe how this is different than the usual cell x starts to act like cell y when you change the cell x colour to same as the cell y colour? Do you mean earth cell colours are not the same as water block colours but still earth cell turns to water block?

I thought Willy's Fun Park! is finished already, as you said "Welcome to...". 😄 Nice that you can still progress with that earth block problem. 🙂 Today I encountered one room´s "blank" sprites (JSWED version [)were turned to visible ones even I didn´t touch them! Luckily I could change them back to "blank" ones by just changing their animation and selecting the correct sprite once again.

This We must perform a quirkafleeg is definitely something different. 🙂

Thank you, Norman! 🙂 It looks like this Banyan Tree cover has got "a bit" of "commercial touch" in it to make the song to sell better... doesn´t remind me about the original Banyan Tree scene a much anymore. 😄 Perhaps it has sold better, than the "original" cover idea with a still drunken male wearing a top hat, an old fashioned "jet set suit", and rubber boots..... the hangover has just started and he´s wandering under the big Banyan Tree at 7:00am collecting emptied bottles and glasses... who knows? Would anyone make a video game about such a scene either? By the way, one scene in that Los Straitjackets cover seems to advertise my soon coming game, too! 😉Actually there is more than just one scene from the same game, but I will keep my mouth shut for a while! 🤫

Is there a similar topic already? If there is, please move my topic there. 🙂 I think here at JSWMM there was a topic about how Eugene´s Lair Eugene got it´s name, so I thought to start a topic about song names somehow related to Jet Set Willy and Manic Miner and their clones and homebrews. The songs don´t have to be about these games at all, just the name could be "related" to JSWMM or clones or homebrews. Perhaps "related" to a room name of some JSWMM related game. Or the band name is somehow "related" to JSWMM genre. Let´s see what you can find out! 🙂 I did a very fast search. There´s a band name called "The Jet Set". 🙂 Here are few photos I found. A song about Willy when he was younger. A song "about" Memotech JSW clone, Son of Pete. "Join the Jet Set, or Die" 😄 Look at this! If this isn´t about the jet set life of Willy what is then? I think this photo is an advertisement of Jet Set Willy the movie! The guardians are human actors, but with strange guardian heads! 🙃A very strange movie indeed!

Maybe you could try to contact emulator developer or ask from Stardot.org.uk?
