IRF Posted July 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2019 The puzzle is in three parts (if you count spotting the visual clue in the first place as the first part). Spider 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetsetdanny Posted July 14, 2019 Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 (edited) Anyway, the main thing that I wanted to bring up is this - I noticed that in one of Danny's screenshots for the game, there is something unusual on display (a deliberate feature) that no-one has noticed yet (or at least, no-one has commented on so far)... See if you can spot it: https://jswcentral.org/jsw48-a-48_mini.html I will have a look at the screenshots one day to see if I can spot what you mean, but it'll have to be after Manchester, because I am concentrating 100% now on updating JSW Central at the moment - I would like to bring it up to a certain "minimal acceptable level" ASAP :). OK, I've had a look at the screenshots and I'll give it a quick multiple try: - The items in "Back Stairway"? (there seems to be something unusual about them) - The airplane in "Banyan Tree Top"? - The upper Fire cells in "Ballroom East"? - They change colour from green to red and back to green and I believe they are harmless when green. - "Kitchen's Cold Store" - the room becoming multicoloured when all the items have been collected. - Multiple shapes of the items in "The Chapel"? If none of these is the correct answer, I will not be trying to solve the puzzle any more. This is because to solve the puzzle you don't only have to know "Jet Set Mini" well, you also have to guess which particular feature among so many you have in mind, Ian, and to know what other people have or haven't commented on. Spending time on verifying this seems pointless to me with so many other JSW-things to do and so little time...

jetsetdanny Posted July 14, 2019 Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 (edited) I guess what I'm asking is that if you do record an efficient recording, then please let us know as I'd like to have a go at beating your timing before you submit to RZX Archive. So it wouldn't cause too much of a delay between your making the recording and your submitting it (I'd just need to find the time to sit down and have a go at an efficient walkthrough myself). I think this is one of the few occasions where I might have a snowball's chance in hell of beating your completion time (but only because of 'insider knowledge'!) OK. My idea, though, is that if I record an RZX walkthrough, it will be done in order to submit it to RZX Archive (now). If you'd rather I didn't submit such a recording at this time (so as not to provide any spoilers for people who were not involved with the project), that's fine, I don't mind giving "the outsiders" some more time to solve the mysteries of the game (I think that once a whole year has passed since the release, I won't have any qualms about it, because those who may have been interested will have had enough time to have a go at the game). If it is your preference not to submit the recording at this time, I will not be doing it for now. It can wait :). OK, almost two years have now passed since the release of Jet Set Mini, and I have no qualms about revealing any and all secrets of the game to anyone who may be interested. Apparently, I don't know all the secrets yet, because Ian mentioned that he had a better completion time of the game than I did thanks to "insider's knowledge". So there are still things I haven't discovered. In spite of this, I am planning to make a "decent" recording of the SE of the game and submit it to RZX Archive. "Decent" according to my standards, taking advantage of the secrets - and revealing them - if I manage to discover them, or perhaps less efficient if I don't. I am giving you heads up, Ian, because if you want to submit your own recording (which quite likely may have a better completion time than mine will), you can still do it. It will take me a few days or more to record the game, and my JSW time tomorrow and in the next few days will be very limited. If you submit a high-quality (as far as efficiency goes) recording to RZX Archive, I will have no reason to record the game and will desist from it. If you don't, and/or I happen to submit the recording first, and then you produce a recording with a better completion time, I will be happy to host it (with a standard description giving you credit ) on JSW Central as "JSW Central Special", i.e. an RZX recording better than the one hosted on RZX Archive. This would be the first instance of such a "Special" being a recording by someone else than me, which would actually be a welcome development :) .

IRF Posted July 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 (edited) None of those things are what I have in mind Danny. But Andy has told me (in a PM) that he is going to have a look this weekend - it's a glaringly obvious thing and you'll kick yourself once it's been pointed out to you!Hopefully once part one of the puzzle has been solved, you might feel intrigued enough to try to crack parts two and three...In terms of a RZX recording, I would urge you please to hold off for a little bit longer - your completion time (and enjoyment of the game) will benefit from it!

IRF Posted July 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 Andy, have you had a chance to go through the screenshots yet this weekend? Do you want another clue (a big one)? Spider 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spider Posted July 14, 2019 Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 (edited) Andy, have you had a chance to go through the screenshots yet this weekend? Not yet no, sorry. :blush: 'Real Life' intrudes. Do you want another clue (a big one)? Tomorrow :) Prefer later in the day or if not that then Monday. Just so I have "the weekend" as such to look.

jetsetdanny Posted July 14, 2019 Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 (edited) My replies are in green: None of those things are what I have in mind Danny. But Andy has told me (in a PM) that he is going to have a look this weekend - it's a glaringly obvious thing and you'll kick yourself once it's been pointed out to you!Hopefully once part one of the puzzle has been solved, you might feel intrigued enough to try to crack parts two and three... Ian, does that mean that the puzzle is related to the things I haven't discovered about the game yet which make its completion faster? If this is the case, it certainly increases my motivation to try and solve the puzzle, because it has a practical implication for the quality of the recording I am thinking of making :). In terms of a RZX recording, I would urge you please to hold off for a little bit longer - your completion time (and enjoyment of the game) will benefit from it! No problem, I will hold off and see how the "puzzle situation" develops ;). Edited July 14, 2019 by jetsetdanny IRF 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes indeed! It's something that no-one has discovered yet! Edited July 14, 2019 by IRF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IRF Posted July 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 (edited) A small clue: Try to look at 'the bigger picture'... Another clue:Think 'outside the box'... And don't forget about all the earlier clues I left in this topic... Save it for a red-letter day. ThINK again... Is anyone "seeing red" "Words fail me" EDIT: Here's the link again - study the screenshots: https://jswcentral.org/jsw48-a-48_mini.html Edited July 15, 2019 by IRF Spider 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spider Posted July 15, 2019 Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 Can't really make head nor tail of it at the moment sorry :( I know what I am probably looking for given the clues, or something like that however: There's only one visible cheque "red letter day" "words fail me" related to Nightmare Room ? "think again" and "seeing red" relate to the red cheque Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
