I know many do not know who Sal was. I have edited the post to make it less negative where KJMANN is concerned.

I agree. KJMANN is irrelevant. I did ask him for some original music for this game, but never got back to me.
When I resumed work in August 2022, I started applying many of the programming techniques I learned from many of the other games I do over the years, and now working on something much better than my original design.
This game was originally going to be a compiled Turbo Basic XL game with machine language calls. But after seeing cartridge games doing well, I converted the remaining programming to assembly.
Right now, the programming is on hold, so I can wrap up work on other games.

I will be getting back to this game soon. It was originally done as a hobby project that I started posting about in 2007. Work to differentiate it from Pitfall and Jungle Hunt is ongoing. There are already many things inside the game that are not in Pitfall. With the ability to put objects anywhere, will allow more dynamic levels.

This game and many of my other games have been discussed on Atari IO and people have responded to the thread. People know me from other forums and on social media like Facebook for many years. I only recently started opening up here about my games. Hope I things go better for me here.

I see only titlescreen mockup. Can you add techdemo of it? I think, than now is nothing over this screen, right?

No, thanks. Video61 made tragical work with publish games - i bought years ago Tempest xTreme with tragical sticker printed on tragical inkjet printer, bad cutting. It super game, but worse made cartridge in my collection, all for $50 with sending cost.
So, we wait, maybe we see...

Last year, Lance got a much better printer. Ran into the same issue that many people ran into with InkJets where the companies charge a lot of money for refilled ink. He now uses glossy paper labels. I believe he orders them from Sheetlabels.com, Avery, or local store, depending on the sizes he needs.
[edit]
I am aware of  problems with older labels. The Tempest Xtreme labels were done by Sal, who was at the time middleman between myself and Video61. I did not find out about some stuff until I saw people complaining about stuff, and I started communicating with Video61 directly, and pointed out sites where he could get quality blank label sheets at good a good price. He also goes to a store near his home that stocks some sizes.

Some models of ink-jet printers make high quality prints that are hard to distinguish from Laser printers. I had a cheap one years ago that I got rid of because it was expensive to replace the ink cartridges. I am not sure many people know that was one of biggest rip-offs in the computer industry. Sell you the printer cheap, but they charge a lot of money for the replacement cartridges. Companies sold refill kits and refurbished ink cartridges. A few years ago, printer manufacturers, like Cannon, HP, Epson, etc. started making printers with refillable tanks after everyone figured out they can get around buying their expensive ink-cartridges.
Quality also depends on the resolution settings. If I set mine to 300 dpi, it looks the same as a laser printer.
I tried to discuss this with my Facebook group a few years ago, and many thought I was stirring up drama over nothing.
After Video61 started using the newer printers, we had not any complaints since.

I never posted these statements. After Sal passed away, I made a memorial post on my Facebook group that acknowledged his work on Tempest Xtreme and Venture.
I did make a statement that Video61 and myself had a good working relationship after Sal parted ways back in 2015.

Blame Sal, who cannot defend himself.  So, did Sal also help with all the labels for the games that came later where he wasn't involved at all?   No, he didn't. 

LOL, you, stirring up drama?  Imagine that.

I would like to keep this relevant to Jungle Quest and what is going on presently. Going forward, Video61 will be using the improved labels on cartridges and boxes. Video61 has been using these labels starting in 2020, and better printer for over a year. I am satisfied with what Video61 is currently using. Sal did the labels for Tempest Xtreme and Venture, that was a fact not in dispute. I designed or approved the labels with Delta Space Arena and all games that followed. We now receive positive feedback about labels, boxes, instruction sheets, and comics that Video61 is using at the present time.
