Willy in the Islands of Mystery : part II : The Temple

[Hervé AST]

Hello Daniel and All,

Thank you so much for this feedback after playing and testing my new game.
It's always a nerve-wracking moment to deliver your creation and wait for feedback from those who will play it.
And after so many years, I didn't know where I was going when I started three months ago...

So I'm very relieved to know that this game can be a happy experience for all players.

You have all the green lights to add your musical programming. Your proposal is a huge honor for me.
Take the time you need by prioritizing all your commitments to the authors and time to manage your JSW Central site.

Thanks again, Daniel, for the time you've already spent helping me and improving my games.

Thank you to all of you, the community, for your interest in this project. Only a few more months to wait before you can play it !!!

See you soon

Hervé

It's very impressive that you managed to create such a fine game in just three months! Did you use some earlier plans from 18 years ago or design everything from scratch?

Thank you for the green light for adding the music. I will start working on it in the next few days, hopefully.

Do keep us updated about the progress in your other projects! 🙂

Hello Daniel and All,

The plan for this game, which I developed 18 years ago, no longer suited me. I reduced the height of the temple to enlarge the floors. I completely recreated the plan, then the game file. However, I had imagined many traps that I kept. This saved me precious time, and I didn't encounter any technical problems during creation.

Have a great weekend!

Hervé

Thanks for your reply, Hervé! It's good to know about the "inner" details of your work which resulted in this excellent game 🙂 .

I am sorry about the delay in starting my work on the music. I am now coming to the finishing line of another JSW project I've been working on and should soon be able to turn my attention to "The Temple", which I'm looking forward to very much indeed 🙂 .

Hello Daniel,

Take the time you need to finalize your projects.
It's great news to learn that a new game featuring your music will be released soon. I'm eager to discover and play it.

Regarding my game, there's no rush for its release.

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

Thank you for this info, Hervé, and, most of all, for letting me add some special effects and music to your wonderful game 🙂.

I have indeed been working on it quite intensely in recent months, adding Patch Vector-based extra elements to various rooms. This task hasn't been completed yet, and I still need to code much of the music intended for the game. I do hope to be able to do it in the coming weeks (during which I should have some time off from work if all goes well) and to make the game ready for a pre-Christmas release by Hervé. I wouldn't want to mention any deadlines right now, but I will certainly do my best for the release to happen soon.

Once again, thank you so much, Hervé, for letting me enhance "Willy in the Islands of Mystery (Part II: The Temple)" a little bit, and please bear with me while I complete the envisaged additions 🙂 .

Thank you, you both! 🙂

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
