Jet Set Willie Posted July 9, 2025 Report Share Posted July 9, 2025 I had been thinking for a long time if I should mention these games here at all, as there´s not a much done for them yet. But here we go... A space themed game This had started as a 48K version some years ago when I started playing with JSWED. Back then I made two test rooms for this game, I still feel it was much more interesting than What a Wonderful World of Willie, even there were just those two fully playable rooms. A half year ago I made several fully working test rooms more, without guardians though, with JSWED version [. I am not sure, though, if I will use those new test rooms. I was mainly testing some ideas how they could work with the JSW engine. 🙂 They worked fine. 🙂 Even there´s nothing more available, I still think that game has a potential. 🙂 I have forgotten the name... I will let you know it, if I can find it from my computer. It´s not sure though, if I had written it down. The Legend of Spruce Lee I did an animated title screen and few testing rooms an year ago. It follows the styles of my soon coming games, with a different theme, though. 🙂 I was surprised, when a certain new Willy game was published, as it had used a same idea what I was meant to use in one or few rooms! 🙂 That said, I think it´s OK for me to use that idea for those rooms. 🙂 I liked the whole idea of this game a lot, though I got bored to it afterwards. Not because there´s something wrong with the game or it´s idea, I just got bored. Maybe I should revive it again someday after I have finished my two new games? 🙂 At least I have now "acquired the rights" for the name of this latter game. 😉 There are few other ideas, too. I had made test rooms for some of them a long time ago already. I will have to see, if I should realize any of them. With one of them, I did find out the limits of the few best (in my opinion) JSWED versions. It´s doable though, but JSWED is not enough to fully realize it. At least not with my skills. 🙂 While I did a quick search if I could find out the space game´s name, I found some notes about room names to be included to the Mansion game. I had totally forgotten them! Two room names are belonging together to form a "pre-" and "after-" rooms. The room of the first name is actually existing in the Mansion, but the name is very different, with the same theme, though. It´s more mild, too, the original name was much "better", a suitably provocative name and idea for such a room. 🙂 Sadly I can´t add them anymore, as all the rooms are used already. But at least the room does exist and is a nice and playable room with some things to watch while you play! 🙂 jetsetdanny, SymbolShift, Spider and 1 other 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jet Set Willie Posted August 25, 2025 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2025 (edited) Dare I say, that I have started to write down notes for the new game and made one test room for it? I will continue with the "almost finished" games first, though. I can´t say any date for them at the moment. I hope the Mansion will be finished during this year. While waiting for them, let me bring you some hype... If it will be realised in the future, it will be in colour, not mono.
