It sounds terrific! Thank you for the update, Hervé, and I am looking forward SO MUCH to visiting Willy's Fun Park when it's ready! 😊

I've just been able to access zxart.ee without any problems.

It sounds terrific! Thank you for the update, Hervé, and I am looking forward SO MUCH to visiting Willy's Fun Park when it's ready! 😊

Here's a progress report on the creation of my game "Welcome to Willy's Fun Park" (project number 6).
I've created and tested 26 rooms (41%) The Final sequence is created The title screen is 50% complete. The image of this title screen will be broadcast as soon as it is finished. I've started creating the roller coaster. I've five more massive rides to complete. They each have several rooms (between four and six).
Sixteen others are complete (containing one to two rooms).
It will take me a long time to finish this game. But I'm moving in the direction I want to create a totally different game with lots of new characters.
I hope you like it
See you soon!
Hervé

Hello Daniel,
Take the time you need to finalize your projects.
It's great news to learn that a new game featuring your music will be released soon. I'm eager to discover and play it.
Regarding my game, there's no rush for its release.
See you soon
Hervé

Thanks for your progress reports, Hervé! It's good to know you are progressing with your games 🙂 . I trust they will all be great fun to play and extremely valuable contributions to Willy's universe 🙂 .
I will be happy to playtest them when time comes for it and make any contributions I can. In fact, I am currently drawing close to finishing work on another long-overdue JSW project (I can't reveal its exact nature right now, but it's about adding some finishing touches to someone else's game) and I should soon be ready to start work on the music for "The Temple" 🙂 .
Do keep us updated on the progress of your projects! It's always a joy to know about it! 🙂 

Thanks for your reply, Hervé! It's good to know about the "inner" details of your work which resulted in this excellent game 🙂 .
I am sorry about the delay in starting my work on the music. I am now coming to the finishing line of another JSW project I've been working on and should soon be able to turn my attention to "The Temple", which I'm looking forward to very much indeed 🙂 .

As I understand it there's two 'new' MM loading pictures
One by Mick Farrow and one by Andy Green (plus possibly more)
Have a look here:

EDIT... 'New' as in Spectrum, the Sam Coupe one is very good but wouldn't look good squashed down to fit a Speccy.
EDIT2... Screen tape file (with effect)
test Mick Farrow - Manic Miner (2014).tap

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. 🙂 

It's truly mind blowing - thanks for sharing it! 👍What an enormous amount of work must have gone into preparing the best route and then practising its execution! Chapeau bas! 🙂 
I have made a note of the link to add it, in the future, to the page on JSW Central dedicated to the original JSW. That page is really a stub, I never included a description of the game, as it didn't seem necessary at the time (EVERYONE knows it!!!), and my attention was always focused more on the remakes and new games than the original. However, I will need to prepare a good description to place on this page at some point, and when I do, I will add various (probably quite numerous) links related to it. 
That's something to do in the future, though, because it will require time to do well, and my immediate JSW priorities are different.
Thanks again for the link, though - it's really impressive! I just hope Matthew Smith has seen it, and I don't think he imagined something like this was possible when he coded the Writetyper cheat 😊.

Thanks for starting this topic, Willy!
Two more music links:
 
 
 

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

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!  🤫
 

A quick search - Would anyone sing a song about a "BANYAN TREE" --- it seems some one did.

You can find most things.....
 

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!
 
 
 

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. 🙂 

It's great to hear that "Mansion" is at such an advanced stage of development! 👍I will be happy to help playtest it thoroughly when you have a release candidate 🙂 .
Also, thanks to Lemmy for helping Willie with the music. In fact, I may soon be asking for Lemmy's help in that department myself...

Hello Daniel and All,
The plan for this game, which I developed 18 years ago, no longer suited me. I reduced the height of the temple to enlarge the floors. I completely recreated the plan, then the game file. However, I had imagined many traps that I kept. This saved me precious time, and I didn't encounter any technical problems during creation.
Have a great weekend!
Hervé

Jet Set Willy "WRITETYPER" TAS has now been published. This doesn't quite match the WRITETYPER runs by myself and RuffledBricks as those start with the cheat already enabled; TAS timing typically starts from the moment you turn the computer on, so the loading, copy protection, and cheat entry are all included in the time shown. Total gameplay time is 1:13.910

I was confused by some filenames, I thought for a moment "JSLemmy115CPC.tap" was the Amstrad release 🙂 

Can admit, that these games are present as unfinished projects without any promises of being finished.
I wanted to share them with JSW/MM community for the sake of archive completeness.

Thank you for making a video review of my old game!

A few friends have written me "Hey, you're on tv" and sent me a link to your awesome channel the morning you released it.

Thank you for this - had a lot of fun playing this for the channel.
 

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.  🤔

Thank you for your help.
I'm truly sorry I wrote my message in French. That wasn't my intention. I always try to write my message in English and then use a translator to check for spelling mistakes. However, in this case, I mistakenly posted the corrected version of my message... 🙃
Regarding the 64z version, I will no longer use it for my future projects. I must add, however, that the JSWED editor is perfect, despite these minor glitches, which are not critical. My next projects will be created in the 64w or 64[
Here's a progress report on the creation of my game "Welcome to Willy's Fun Park" (project number 6).
I've created and tested 16 rooms (25% !!!). The Final sequence is created. I will focus on creating the title screen in the next few days. I've also made progress on project 8 : "Jet Set Willy in London"
I'm working on several rooms at the same time, without having completed any more, but things are progressing well.
See ou soon  !
