andrewbroad Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 (edited) I am delighted to see this message board back, especially as I will soon have to say goodbye to the Manic Miner & Jet Set Willy Yahoo! Group, because Yahoo! Groups will be shut down on 2020-12-15. Edited December 9, 2020 by andrewbroad Spider 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetsetdanny Posted December 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 It's good to see you again, Ian and Andrew! đ Bad news about the Yahoo! Group, but I think one could see this coming after they had reduced the Groups to e-mails only last year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norman Sword Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 My break from posting was extended. In the end quite a bit bigger than the 30 days I visualised. Welcome back. I will shortly post the version of Manic Panic that was created during that break. That was version 1.4 - which quickly became V1.5 due to typographical errors. (it's a tradition I missed out a letter "i" in one word)  IRF and Spider 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(it's a tradition I missed out a letter "i" in one word)   If Manic Panic has reached the status of 'finished product', I wonder whether it would have a higher profile if you were to upload it to the Downloads section of the site (which should automatically generate a new discussion topic as well), rather than putting it at the end of the existing 'Playing Around' discussion? Just a thought.. Spider 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spider Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 Thanks for all the positive comments everyone! đ The newer software does have a few changes although I'm sure (small teething problems aside) everything will be relatively smooth sailing. Should be noted the upgrade was slightly more than a regular "version upgrade" as such and there may be small issues, we have ironed most out but don't hesitate to ask or mention anything you think that "is not quite right" as such. Yes I'm aware of the missing logo đ Â Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetsetdanny Posted December 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 Good to see you again, Norman Sword! Thank you for creating and uploading "Manic Panic" v. 1.5 to the Downloads section. I look forward very much to exploring it in every mode soon đ , after I've finished some other MM/JSW-related things I am engaged in right now. When I next update the Chronology section on JSW Central (which I do want to do before the end of the year), I will show 9 December 2020 as the date of the gamma release of the game (including the version number, considering 1.5 as the first gamma release). If you would like me to include also the dates of some beta releases - when you uploaded previous versions of the game to this forum before it went offline - please let me know what they were. Please correct me also if my understanding that v. 1.5 is the first gamma version is incorrect.     Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetsetdanny Posted December 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 I have announced the forum's comeback on World of Spectrum, Spectrum Computing and in a Yahoo! Group mail message đ. I included some promotion of Norman Sword's latest game as well đ. IRF and Spider 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
