hello Daniel and everyone Here is a progress report on the creation of my new game. -> I have finished and tested 58 rooms (90%) The last 6 rooms are being finished. I will then finish choosing the names of the rooms. I have planned a translation into French, English and Spanish. I also have to finish the title screen to present it to you! And then play to check everything and also to correct colors or passages that will not suit me in the end. Then... Daniel will be the official tester as for all my previous games. I trust you, your vigilance is important to deliver a flawless game. Have a good week everyone See you soon Hervé

Hello Daniel and everyone, The topic of the number of JSW games created by an author makes me uncomfortable. I have no desire or even the idea of dethroning the authors. First of all because I have immense respect for these giant authors, it would be terrible to want to compare ourselves to them and I do not feel at all concerned by an idea of competition. Respect also for the authors who have only created one because it is already huge. And respect also for all those who like you Daniel contribute to keeping this kind of old games alive via complete sites, videos and programming advice. My motivation is just to contribute, to participate in my own way to this. I also take great pleasure in creating games. I imagine situations and themes that can allow us to leave our real world for a moment. That's all. Motivation also to give everyone the desire to create new games too. I remind you that all the characters and objects of my games are free, you can use them for your creations. Here is a progress report on the creation of my new game. -> I finished and tested 52 pieces (81%) See you soon Hervé

hello Daniel and everyone Here is a progress report on the creation of my new game. -> I have finished and tested 50 rooms (78%) The two complicated rooms are finished. i spent several days for each of them. Update on other projects: I discovered that my project "Welcome to Willy's Fun Park!" was quite advanced, so I'm already working on the creation of the rooms. it will probably be released before the end of the year 2025. I abandoned the following projects: ""Willy in Cathar Country" and "Jet Set Willy: The Labyrinth" I added 4 news projects. I will keep one "8 - unnamed" because as a clue it is named twice in the rooms of my current project! It's up to you to guess it! it's easy :-) Here is the list which should not change much. 5 - Willy in the Islands of Mystery: part II The temple 64[ - 64 rooms 6 - Welcome to Willy's fun Park ! 64Z - 64 rooms 7 - "Willy Saves Maria 64[ - 64 rooms 8 - It's up to you to discover it by playing my next game! 64W - 128 rooms 9 - Exploration of Rama III (the title can still change) we explore the third ship. everything goes by three! 64[ - 64 rooms 10 - JSW Journey to the Center of the Earth 64W - 128 rooms 11 - surprise also for the theme and the name of this project 64[ - 64 rooms 12 - Jet Set Willy : the Legend of the Pied Piper 64W - 128 rooms 13 - Willy in the Great Pyramid 64W - 128 rooms. This list will be updated with the progress of the creations. I hope to release two games per year! See you soon Hervé

Hello Jet Set Willie, to answer your question, I didn't find any problem adding or removing monsters. the only problems i encountered was when i transformed a game from a Z version to ] for example. or from 128k to 48k. the editor does not manage memory in the same way and this generates errors. But without it being blocking. See you soon Hervé

Hello Jet Set Willie, I use the editor as is without making any modifications. I can help you with the errors encountered when using it over time I understood how to correct them. how to create animations or errors in the blocks I focus on creation, it is already very difficult to find time to do it. So I do not ask more from the editor, especially since it is complete enough to be able to produce a complete game. I worked on the memory only to correct errors, and with the help of other authors stronger than me in computer science. but it was a long time! I kept all the technical documents I looked this weekend., I have information on the memory space of the 48k version but not for the 128k version. I am sorry for this answer which does not help you much... See ou soon. Hervé

Hello Daniel and the whole jsw community ! Here is a progress report on the creation of my future game : I have made and tested 39 rooms (61%). I’m currently working on 2 complex rooms. Willy can already move around all the rooms. All the traps work and can be crossed without dying even if sometimes it seems impossible! I have not continued, for the moment, the design of the title screen. There is still a lot of work to be done ! Have a good week everyone. See you soon Hervé

Hello Daniel, I use the JSWED 64K game engine with the choice [ . the same engine as for the creation of my previous games. It's a great pleasure to use it. It's complete, without bugs. It allows you to create everything you imagine. I thank again its creator John Elliott. I do not know if he's part of this group? he had also created a guide to explain all the possibilities of the editor. it is a very useful technical reference. yes it's the title screen. I have to finish correcting the overlapping defects in the colors. When it's completely finished I will publish the image. 🙂 I started working on 10 more pieces yesterday. I will keep you updated on the progress of this work next week. See ou soon ! Hervé

Hello Daniel, the authors and the whole jsw community Here is a progress report on the creation of my game. I have made and tested 19 rooms (29%). I started by creating the rooms with the most complex animated systems. I think you will curse me!!! The final sequence is also created. It's a completely different ending. Very different from my previous games. I hope I have enough space in memory to create the other guardians in the game. Presentation page animation is half finished Even if the creation is progressing faster than expected, I am maintaining the release date at September 2025 for the moment. The funny thing is that I'm already imagining rooms for the next game... the creation phase gives ideas for the future, it's pretty cool. I will provide the following update next week. Have a good week everyone. See you soon ! Hervé

Hello Daniel, Thank you for your message. I really have the good feeling of coming home! I first discovered your videos of my games then your site “JSW Central”. It's very good work. Then after this active group. It's great to know that the old authors are still here or back. It's also nice to discover new authors I kept all my technical programming documents. I also still have the plans and files for my other projects. For the moment I am focusing on creating the announced game. I will need your help when this game is ready for testing and also to check the translations. But then I confirm to you that I want to create my other future games. probably starting with "Willy saves Maria". Thanks again see you soon Hervé

Hello Daniel and the whole community ! I hope you're well. I happy to discover this group. I watched the vidéos JSW on YouTube with a lot of emotion and nostalgia. I didn't think that my game JET SET WILLY IN PARIS was still played and appreciated ! I found LIVE videos of players playing my game, it’s just very touching. Everyone should know the enormous help you gave me in testing and releasing the game as well as the 3 others Thank you very much Daniel for always being so present and active so that the JSW games are still there and perhaps even more so than 20 years ago. This is what motivates me to come back after 18 years... It's also to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the release of my first game "Jet Set Willy in Paris in 2005 (first release). Since two week, I résumed creating my never finished game "Willy in the Islands of Mystery part II : the Temple. I found inspiraion again to create new rooms and new guardians. I completely redesigned the game. I think this game will be released before the end of 2025 at the latest. See you very soon ! As a reminder the list of my previous games : Jet set Willy in Paris (2005) Willy on a Transatlantic Cruise (2007) Escape of the Snails 2007 Willy in the Islands of Mystery ( part 1 : Exploration) 2007
