    UncleWan got a reaction from MtM in A chinese who loves JSW   
    wow that's so hard to have a account in this website! I have to use the VPN to cross the internet great wall so l can post what l want to say in here.
    l first seen the game "jet set willy"about 3 years ago,l love the platform games like this so l want to learn it more.without Google(china banned Google!),the only l can use is Bing .but that's enough.
    l often play jsw on the online emulator like "zx art"or"qaop".after a few months,the more versions l found.like java version or PC version by Andy Noble(very good),and z88 version(l can't believe that it can play on a so narrow screen!amazing),there are lot of versions that l can't type them here.
    manic miner?good game .l even write a "Baidu Baike"(because China has not wikipedia,we use Baidu Baike as instead.)about the MM!

    Thank you Spider😊, I had a lot to say, but I ended up deleting them. The bottom line is: I think my difficulties are nothing compared to what I found here. It's nice to have like-minded people.

    I've been wondering about this tune for a long time, so thank you for your answer. And while it would be a shame not to get to this remake, it's a testament to itself that there's still plenty of room for innovation and life in JSW. Thumbs up again for your remake!😁

    Addendum - I wrote the cpc version of Jet Set Willy

    The Title music is Moonlight Sonata and was writen by Beethoven in 1801. So slightly before Mr Wetheril came along.

    The in game short tune is by Mr Wetheril.

    @UncleWan 
    Hi! I grew up with the MSX version of Jet Set Willy 2 - which used the same music as the Amstrad version. For the remake I arranged/composed 24 different variations on the music which cross-fade depending on which room you are in / what state the game is in. There are a few cheeky nods to other games / franchises in there for a bit of fun.
    That piece was originally composed by Steve Wetherill who worked on the CPC version. He kindly gave me his blessing to rearrange it and include it in the remake.
    There's no way to download it. I suppose I could make a longer edit of certain variations. Might be an interesting project in itself!

    Welcome manic986!
    Using a visual (drag and drop) language like Scratch for a MM remake is not ideal, but it looks like you have managed to navigate around any limitations very well. Fantastic job! Looking forward to seeing the final project, and what comes next... 😀

    What a wonderful JSW remake, what creative ideas and good visuals! Another thing that caught my attention is that you seem to use the Amstrad cpc version of JSW's music (it sounds atmospheric and I really like it), is there any way to download that track? Or is it just a reworking of an existing piece? (Just like the C64 version)

    UncleWan reacted to jetsetdanny in 'Manic Miner/Jet Set Willy' Copyrights   
    This leads to some surreal scenarios. People designing free MM/JSW games and releasing them clandestinely, masking their IPs, etc. - not to make any profit, but at the same time to remain anonymous and free from possible prosecution. The alleged copyright holders chasing them relentlessly, following their digital fingerprints, etc.
    The former living in fear, lurking in the MM/JSW underground, suffering from PTSD, but still determined to carry on their sacred mission of making new MM/JSW games and offering them freely to the whole world. The latter wasting their time and resources on persecuting poor souls who have only poured some financial resources into their endeavours (such as finding slightly expensive ways of purchasing GameMaker licenses anonymously), never made any profit...
    What a world to face! I hope it's just a figment of my sick imagination 😆

    Hi UncleWan, welcome to the forum! 🙂 It's great that you've found this place, been able to overcome all the technical difficulties and can now post here.
    I find it amazing that you like MM and JSW while you first saw JSW only about 3 years ago. This actually gives me hope that some people in the future, long after our time, will still like the Willy games, which of course will be to them like perhaps us reading ancient literature or something.
    I've had a look at your Baidu page. Interestingly, when the page is translated automatically from Chinese to English, the game's name becomes "Crazy Miner". That's an interesting twist on the title 😉 .
    So thanks again for joining the forum and we look forward to the (unexpected, to be honest, while positively exciting) feedback and input from China!
