Daniel will be the official tester as for all my previous games. I trust you, your vigilance is important to deliver a flawless game.

Thank you, Hervé! I consider it an honour and a serious responsibility at the same time. I will do my best to check everything thoroughly, and I'm looking forward to it very much indeed! 🙂

Hello Daniel and everyone

Here is a progress report on the creation of my new game.
-> I have finished and tested all the rooms (100%)
I was able to create all the traps I had imagined.
This game contains quite a few surprises.
In any case, situations and traps that I have not created in my previous games

I started playing it to check for possible errors.
some passages are modified, I also add decoration to create harmony between the rooms.
I have almost finished the title screen. It takes me a lot of time.
I still have a large fresco to finish for a room. I drew it on paper, now it must be coded in pixels in the editor.

The game will be tested by Daniel from the beginning of March.
It will be released in September 2025.

See you soon

Hervé

Hello everyone


I finished creating my new game "Willy in the Islands of Mystery / Part 2: The Temple"
I tested everything.
I'm going to play it for a few days and then Daniel will take over to test it as well and then program the music!

I'm going to start programming a new game!

See you soon

Hervé

Bonjour Hervé, c’est une excellente nouvelle que Willy in the Islands of Mystery / Part 2 : The Temple soit terminé et prêt pour les tests de jeu ! Je serai ravi de le tester. En fait, j’ai hâte ! 😁

C’est aussi une excellente nouvelle que tu aies commencé à travailler sur un nouveau jeu. Pourrais-tu révéler sur quel projet de la liste que tu avais présentée auparavant tu travailles ?

 

And now the same in English so that everyone can read it without having to resort to electronic translation:

Hello, Hervé, it's great news that "Willy in the Islands of Mystery / Part 2 : The Temple" is finished and ready for playtesting! I will be happy to do it. In fact, I can't wait! 😁

It is also great news that you have started working on a new game. Could you reveal which project from the list you previously presented you are working on?

Hello Daniel and the whole community !

I'm finishing the last little adjustments.

I'm working now on the next three projects at the same time :

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

They are totally different (amusement park, medical exploration and the third that I am not announcing for the moment!) I find it nice to be able to create one or the other according to my desire of the day.
For these projects the guards will be new, that's what motivates me a lot.

I start by finishing the three plans on paper. This is perhaps the most complicated step.

Then I will arrange the layout of the rooms in the three files created.

I think the first game released will be project 6 "Welcome to Willy's fun Park" because I have already created rooms in the file. I have a clear vision of what I want to do.

I don't know yet when this game will be released but it will surely be this year 2025.

Do I create a new page in this forum for this new project 6 ?

See you soon


Have a good week everyone !
Hervé

Thanks for all the info, Hervé! It's great that your creativity is in full swing! 😁Your project No. 8 sounds really intriguing 🙂

Yes, I think that'll be a good idea, to separate it from "Willy in the Islands of Mystery : part II : The Temple".

Hervé, the title screen of "The Temple" looks great 😊. The only thing is that the "t" in "temple" looks to be in lower case. I would kindly suggest that you capitalise it, to stick to the capitalisation rules for titles. So it would look like this:

In fact, the first part of the game is listed on JSW Central as "Willy in the Islands of Mystery (Part 1: Exploration)". I can't remember off the top of my head, but I assume this exact spelling of the name was discussed in the old Yahoo! Group. However, I can see that you used the Roman numeral for the second part ("Part II") and that indeed a Roman numeral was also used on the title screen of the first part ("Part I"), while an Arabic one was used in its scrolling message ("Part 1").

Which is your preference for the listing of the title of the game on JSW Central? I could change the current "Willy in the Islands of Mystery (Part 1: Exploration)" to "Willy in the Islands of Mystery (Part I: Exploration)" and then the second part will be listed as "Willy in the Islands of Mystery (Part II: The Temple)". Personally, I think it actually looks better with Roman numerals ("I", "II") than with the Arabic ones ("1", "2"), but it's up to you to decide. Please let me know 🙂 .

Have a great week!

Hello Daniel and the whole community!

Thank you Daniel for your help. You are always so perfectionist, it is exactly what I want for the test, thank you very much!

I modified the title screen with the "T" in capital letters for the word "Temple". Thank you for that.

For the name of the game I confirm that I also prefer the number 2 in Roman numerals (II).
Ok also to modify the name of the first part with the letter 'Part I".  It's much better.

I modified "Part II" in the scrolling message.

This week, I played several parts of the game until the end. I don't see anything more to modify or correct.
So I sent you by email the game with the English translation !!!
I'm sure you'll find things to correct.

I would like you to be able to discover it by playing it first before moving on to the test state, it would be cooler to discover the rooms in the mysterious atmosphere !

THANK YOU again for your help.

See you soon
Hervé

Hello Hervé and All,

I am really excited - and, in fact, moved - to see "The Temple" in my mailbox, indeed the sequel awaited for 18 years... What a great and emotional moment! 😊

I will start playing the game very soon, initially without a 'playtest mindframe', but rather to enjoy. Not right now, and this is because of real-life circumstances. I am struggling with a heavy workload, and the day after tomorrow I will be travelling for work, which means I will have to finish up various things at the office tomorrow and then get ready for the trip. However, during the trip (which will take me a week), I will have my personal laptop with me and I will be sure to find some leisure moments to enjoy Part II of "Willy in the Islands of Mystery" 🙂 .

I will get back to you all soon with my first impressions 🙂 .

Daniel
