Hello Everyone ! Here's an update on my next game "JSW IN LONDON". This game has 128 rooms. I've almost finished 92 of them (72%). I've found a good pace to make rapid progress. I've changed my approach to game design: I'm working on several rooms simultaneously and taking the time to optimize them as much as possible. That's why I don't consider them finished until the game itself is finalized after several tests. I'm also trying to create original rooms and traps to avoid any feeling of "déjà vu". It takes time, but it will give the game a unique identity. At least, I hope so, and you'll tell me! I'll be posting the first images of the rooms in the coming weeks. Have a great week! See you soon! Hervé

Thank you very much Daniel. I just finished today the most complicated room of the game! I have finished 14 rooms and I'm in the process of 29 others. See you soon, Hervé

Hello Here's the game image (attached for search engine optimization). I'm making good progress on creating the rooms. I'm cruising along! See you soon! Hervé

Hello Daniel, Thank you for your advice. I've updated the list accordingly and modified the title screens. Regarding the number of rooms completed in the "JSW in London" game, I calculated the percentage for 64 rooms instead of 128... I hope to reach 24% in the coming weeks! 😉 I'm also taking this opportunity to show you the title screen for the next game "JSW IN LONDON". Project 8 - JSW in London : I'm prioritizing the creation of this game JSW game, 64W version - 128 rooms. Its release is planned for 2026. The title screen is finished. I've created and tested 15 rooms (12%). The paper plan is finalized. The file is created, and the rooms are in order. The final sequence is complete. Project 11 - Christmas Day. Version 64 [- 64 rooms The title screen is finished. I'm starting to create the rooms and the guardians. The paper plan is finished. The file is created and the pieces are ready. Its release is planned for December 2026. Project 12 - Time Machine : Middle Ages. Version 64 [- 64 rooms I'm keeping this title because Willy returns to a location from one of my games (which you'll have to discover for yourself) to use a time tunnel, "the time machine". It's not his invention, which is why the game can't be called "Willy's Time Machine." I've also separated the titles, putting "Time Machine" first, because I might one day, who knows, add other journeys... to ancient Rome, the ancient empires of Central and South America... the door remains open to that idea. The title screen is finished. I'm starting to create the rooms and the guardians. The paper plan is finished. The file is created and the pieces are ready. I've made good progress; I hope to release it in 2027. Project 10 - Journey to the Centre of the Earth. Version 64W - 128 rooms. The title screen is finished. I'm starting to create the rooms and the guardians. The paper plan is finished. The file is created and the pieces are ready. I've made good progress; I hope to release it in 2027. Project 9 - Exploration of Rama III. Version 64 [- 64 rooms. The title screen is finished. I'm starting to create the rooms and the guardians. The paper plan is finished. The file is created and the pieces are ready. I've made good progress; I hope to release it in 2028. See you soon! Hervé

Thank you so much ! that means a lot to me. This motivates me to give my best for the upcoming games. See you soon! Hervé

Version 64W - 128 rooms. ->I'm deleting this project permanently I've given a lot of thought to what to do next with this list. I want to create these five games because I think they can stand out from the ones I've already made and offer players a unique experience. After that, I've decided not to add any new projects to the five games already planned. In other words, these will be my last creations. I have many other creative passions that I'd like to explore more seriously. I'd also like to be able to dedicate more time to video games. I miss them. See you soon Hervé

Hello everyone, I've just released my game, and it's available in the downloads section of this forum. As always, it's a big moment, and I'm always a little anxious about the players' reactions. This project is particularly close to my heart because I've been thinking about it for 18 years without being able to bring it to fruition. Now it's done; it's real and it will have a life of its own, independent of me. I truly enjoyed my collaboration with Daniel. He's an extraordinary person who dedicated himself completely to this new game. He keeps JSW games alive through his website and videos, not to mention his invaluable advice and programming skills. Collaborating with Daniel on my two 2025 games was a tremendous honor for me. As always, the sprites are free to use; you can use them for your own creations. For me, this project is now complete. This thread is now closed. I'll tell you more about my upcoming creations in the coming weeks. Things are progressing well. Thank you all for being on this forum and sharing this passion! Take care, Hervé

View File Willy in the Islands of Mystery : Part II : The Temple Hello everyone I am thrilled to announce the release of my sixth game, "Willy in the Islands of Mystery: Part II: The Temple." It uses the JSW64 engine with the variant []. This game is a direct sequel to the first game, "Willy in the Islands of Mystery: Part I; Exploration," created in 2007. I encourage you to start by playing Part I. It is available for download via this link: https://xa.bi/jsw/islands1.htm Part I, "Exploration": The story: For some unknown reason—perhaps after the sinking of his cruise ship—Willy is alone on a raft in the middle of the ocean. One morning, he discovers a mysterious island on the horizon. He will have to explore it and find a way back home... Part II, "The Temple," Begins in the exact same room where Willy finished the game in Part I. The story: After exploring the islands, Willy discovers an ancient temple. To leave the Isles of Mystery, he must face its dangers and collect all the flashing objects scattered inside. Perhaps the Temple holds the key to his freedom. Part II, "The Temple," has many surprises in store for you. Technically, it's the first JSW game with different music for each room. The theme is therefore different depending on the room. This game also has many effects that greatly enhance the game's atmosphere. I won't say any more; you'll have to discover it all for yourself... And I've saved the best for last: I didn't create this game alone. Daniel (JetSetDanny) worked incredibly hard on all these improvements: music programming, visual effects, adding traps, scrolling messages, loading screen, end screen, game translation, title colors, complete testing, promoting the game on social media and websites dedicated to classic games… I think I'm forgetting some things, and I apologize to him. It was a colossal and time-consuming undertaking. I want to thank him for his dedication and availability. This is why this game is co-signed (Hervé and Daniel), as you can see on the home screen. The game is available in two languages: English and French, In TAP and TZX formats Have fun! Hervé Submitter Hervé AST Submitted 12/31/2025 Category Jet Set Willy [Remakes]  

Hi Jet Set Willie, Thank you for your message. Yes! Absolutely! It's a book I loved and have read several times. In fact, I don't think I've ever truly left that immense and strange spaceship… The idea is to be able to explore the ship as a tribute to this fantastic book, and also because no film has ever been made from this story. It's a real shame. I want to, and this is a big challenge for me, let the player experience all the highlights of this adventure through the most iconic locations: the cylindrical sea, New York, the grand staircase, dawn. Why Rama 3? Because in the book series, only two ships have approached Earth, so this will be the third, since everything comes in threes in the world of the Ramaians! It's hard to resist the urge to start this project immediately, but I have to finish my two current projects for 2026 first. But the good news is that I've already created the rooms in a simple way for now, and Willy can already move around in them! All that's left is to create the scenery, the guards, and everything else… See you soon Hervé

Hello everyone, The game "Willy in the Islands of Mystery: Part II: The Temple" will be released soon! In just a few weeks. A considerable amount of work has been done over the past few months to improve the game and add new effects, as well as a unique soundtrack. I'll let Daniel tell you about it much better than I can, as he's the one who initiated this major project. This is the second game we've made together this year. I thank him immensely. This game is the sequel to the first "Willy in the Islands of Mystery (Part 1: Exploration)," released 18 years ago. I encourage you to play Part 1 (Exploration) before starting Part 2 (The Temple) for total immersion. See you soon! Hervé

Hello to the whole community, I'm very happy to announce the imminent release of my new game "Welcome to Willy's Fun Park !". This should be for Saturday or the following days. Now's the big moment when the game becomes public and will be available to you. I hope you enjoy playing it. I'm especially happy to have started making games after 18 years of not making them. To have found a community of enthusiasts for this game. It's very motivating! But what impressed me most was reuniting with my friend Daniel after so long. Why "friend"? Because despite all these years of absence, I've the pleasant feeling that we still had the same way of discussing and working together on a project. I remind you that this was the case for my four previous games and also for the one coming out in September. At this level of improvement, I can say that this game was co-produced with Daniel. Game testing, addition of two new songs, modification of room title colors, correction of titles and translation of the game into English, Spanish, and Polish, creation of the title loading image, creation in TZX format, and technical improvements on points like the endgame sequence! And this work within a very short period of one month and during his holidays... I would like to thank him for it. The game will be released in four languages (English, Polish, French, and then Spanish a few days later) and in TAP and TXZ format. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on this game. See you soon. Hervé

Hello JET SET WILLIE, Thanks for the development update. Both of your games are already well underway. That's great news! Are you planning on releasing one soon? I think I'll be able to find time to play some of the designers' games. Your first game, "What a Wonderful World of Willie," will be on the list, along with Carl's "Ghost of Willy." By the way, is there a thread in this group where we discuss the games we've played? See you soon. Hervé

Hello to all the authors and the entire JSW community! Here's a progress report on the creation of my game "Welcome to Willy's Fun Park" (project number 6): I worked for another week improving some parts. The game is now definitively finished. I've translated it into English. The game will be tested by Daniel (Jet Set Danny) for a few weeks, like all my previous games. I know Daniel will be able to spot bugs and correct any potential English translation errors. The release date hasn't been set yet. I hope it will be late July or early August at the latest. I'll keep you updated as soon as it's confirmed. As for what's next... I promised myself I'd take a break before devoting myself to my other two projects (7 and 8). But it will be difficult to keep this promise, as I'm eager to move forward with these two new themes, which motivate me enormously... I'll keep you updated on their progress in early September. I wish you all a wonderful summer. See you soon! Official title screen "Welcome to Willy's fun Park !" :
