Jess’ talents are as you said, amazing, and what he’s done is unprecedented. I want to thank you for taking the time to write what you did. We look forward to the next stage of the level editor which should have some bug reporting tools and the ability to ‘run’ the maze and see everything animate. Thanks to Jess, I hope you continue to stay passionate and self motivated no matter who does or doesn’t get involved actively. But that is pretty simple and your off and running. NET framework to 3.5, I don’t think it’s a required Windows download. So, go out, download the editor and start playing. All of that could be released with a new set of user designed levels, but not if there is no participation. Jess didn’t have that code set, so Owen was going to look back and see what he might have. Owen has been involved in the group on the site, even pointing out during the live chat that in his original Major Havoc source code there may be commented out lines for the Star Castle level, and the gun on the ship in wave four. Jess released the link for the Major Havoc editor last month in the Major Havoc group on Coinopspace. Here are some screenshots from Jess Askey’s Major Havoc level editor. Granted, Francis knows he way around electronics, but this level editor is literally – move your cursor, grab the element, and then put it where you want it and save”. Jess was asking for feedback on the features of the editor.įrancis went through and made a level immediately. Or just try the editor and suggest additional features for it. Show your passion for the game, just create a level, it is ridiculously easy even I could do it.

This is what this hobby should still be about, I do not believe that collecting has to die out, but for those guys that love Major Havoc, they need to get involved. He’s so humble about it, but Jess has spent some stupid amounts of time, all in the name of passion for Major Havoc. In case you missed it, Jess quitely released his editor and one level has been made. Late last month, right around the time of the Owen Rubin live chat at Coinopspace I had written a post about Jess Askey announcing that he was going to make a free level editor for Atari’s Major Havoc that would allow the average user to drag and drop elements in a graphical interface to create their own stages that could then be taken and burned onto ROMs.
