Idea I had

[Jinya]

Well I have played Jazz Jackrabbit 1 and owned it on CD. I have never owned Jazz 2 so I don't know if it has this but I'm pretty sure it doesn't. Anyways my idea was to maybe make a version of Jazz thats similar to Maple Story. You can completely customize your rabbit with different faces and such. Make a Jazz game thats an MMORPG. As for the server I hate Pay to Play games. So for server costs a Cash or Item shop like MS has should be implimented so that the game stays free (with of course the exception of the initial charge to buy the game). I dunno just a thought. Maple Story is good but it would be cool to have more games out there like it as the game as great as it is gets boring after a while. And Pay to Playing is really stupid in my opinion when there are other ways for companies to cover server charges and make everyone happy.

A MMORPG seems cool, but JJR is more a fast-and-furious-running-around-and-shooting-everything-game. It won't fit in the JJR style.
I don't mean to kill your idea with this, I'd love it if someone would make an internet-JJr-game.
The idea seems a bit Runescape-like, am I right?

People sometimes try to make MMORPG's in JJ2 in the form of hotel levels, which haven't been in fashion lately. In any case, I've never really played any, so I can't deliver much of an opinion on the subject.

Actually, if you made it like Legend of Zelda MMORPH then it could work.

H?
Anyways, if people can find a way that the game Mercernaries works as a MMOAG, then we can find a way for JJ(NOT JJR sorry, thats a pet peeve of mine. His name isn't Jazz Jack Rabbit, It's Jazz Jackrabbit) to be one as well.
Note- MMOAG is a term refering to Massivly Multiplayer Online Action Game, which would work

If your seriously going to make a JJ2 MMORPG, then first get Realm Crafter. ( Google it ) It will be out soon but is a fully ready to go mmorpg maker with graphics support, open source code, script language guide ( uses Blitz Program Language ), the works. Then, get a good modeling program like 3Ds Max or Alias Maya 6.5. I purchased Alias Maya 6.5 Unlimited ( 4000$ ) and Im already able to make a Human with RABBIT EARS. :-)

Now, since Epic won't let go of the name to JazzJackrabbit, it will need to be a FREE FAN GAME, so no profit can come from making a 3D imitation of JJ2 in any gameplay form. I know, your thinking why bother?

Other then all of the complications, this sounds like a good idea... but Maple Story is sort of.. weak. But hey that's just my opinion.

Well, the first thing what Jazz needs is a 3D platformer sequel with much functions to edit it like in Jazz2. If that becomes a great succes then an MMORPG would be a great idea.

[Xobim]

Since we don't have teh sourcecode, that's going to take looooooooong and many programmers.

So I think that we should skip that idea and use that Realm Crafter program to make a MMORPG. And use that sourcecode (which should be easier to create) for a 3D-JJ2 based game.

[Sonyk]

He's talking about building a game from scratch, which is possible. We don't need the source code if we're making a new game.

[Slaz]

Yeah. Making a new game would take less time than trying to get the right to distrubute the Jazz3D demo stuff..

[Xobim]

<s>*makes new topic*</s>

And nobody thought about this earlier?

[Slaz]

You meant the thread about new game cheats by that?

[Xobim]

No, the idea of making a sourcecode with Realm Crafter. And using it in a new JJ game...

I don't think that anybody would ever start on that idea, even if it would be possible. It takes far too much time to make a whole sourcecode with a program.
