Thanks for the update, Hervé! It's thrilling to know that you've got over 90% of the rooms done now 🙂 .

Hello everyone,
Here's the progress of my project number 6, "Welcome to Willy's Amusement Park."
I've created and tested 58 rooms (91%).
I still have 6 rooms to complete (the Ferris wheel). These rooms are almost finished.
So the game is almost ready.
I'm going to work on the scrolling message, the English and Spanish translations, and finish the title screen.
I'll then begin a full testing phase of the game, first by myself, then by a friend who recognizes themselves 😉
"Welcome to Willy's Amusement Park" will be released in July 2025.
After that, I'll continue creating my two projects:
Project 7: Willy Saves Maria 64 [ - 64 rooms.
Project 8: JSW in London 64W - 128 rooms.
But at a slower pace because I have other commitments this year that won't allow me to release another game before the end of the year or early next year.
As a reminder, my new game "Willy in the Islands of Mystery / Part 2: The Temple" will be released in September 2025 ! 🙃
Have a good week everyone.
See you soon!
Hervé

Holy hell - this is hard and I consider myself good at Manic Miner !

Here is my tribute to your great work here - I really like the screens that I've seen so far - you've really gotta think about how you do them...
 
 

It's great to know about your progress, Hervé! Thanks for the report 😊

Found in the J2ME version.
I searched him on Google, and found his Linkedin page. He was the art director of JSW and also Jet Set Racing. If you want to see what that game is, you can find it at archive.org.
 

Hello to the JSW community,
Here's the progress of my project number 6, "Welcome to Willy's Amusement Park."
I have created and tested 46 rooms (72%).
The final sequence is complete.
The title screen is 70% complete. I haven't made any progress on this part.
I have finished creating the maze and the haunted house.
This was very difficult and took me a long time. I hope these passages will be important moments in this game.
I will now create the amusement house.
I have 18 rooms left to create before finishing ! 🙂
See you soon!
Hervé

Just thought I would post this here out of interest and in case anyone had anything to offer about it.

Thank you.
Does run at a high speed. I've downloaded it for future preservation if it should go awol from Drive, can re-upload it here perhaps.

Thanks for the update, Hervé! 👍It's great to know you are making good progress on this project 😊.

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.

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!  🤫
