(...) I want to make the very clear point that I am producing work which anyone can use for free, and I'm not 'telling' anyone what to do. The only thing I did was to ask that people don't publish the game being played in its entirety for the first few weeks.

All I did was ask people not to post complete walkthroughs of the game in the first two weeks.

(...) I asked for a two week grace period. Given that people have been waiting 36 years for this game, I am sure they can spare me a couple of weeks grace.

(...) I didn't ask people not to post these videos, I only asked that people show a little patience and wait around two weeks before they post or share a full video of a playthrough. I think that is fair.
OK, two weeks have passed since the game's release on 15th March. In fact, almost 38 weeks have passed now, which is almost 20 times more than Allan asked for (and more than the number of rooms in
The Perils of Willy or the number of years that we waited for this game
).
So Allan's wish has been respected many times over, so to speak. And now anyone interested can watch
a full walkthrough of The Perils of Willy on the JSW Central channel on YouTube. There is also
a walkthrough of The Perils of Willy Plus. There is no walkthrough of
The Roll Bog Edition, as it is currently incompletable. However, I will be happy to make a video of its completion once a bug-fixed version is released, which I hope will happen soon.
I will say for the record that these videos contain spoilers. Do not watch them if this could diminish your pleasure from playing Allan's excellent conversion of the Commodore VIC-20 classic! I encourage everyone to play this game, as I've had a lot of pleasure during the many hours I spent playing and recording it, and then replaying and re-recording it in order to improve the quality of my (Rollback-assisted) performance
