What If

[n00b]

Shade, are you actually this moronic or are you trying to push my buttons?

I'm pretty sure a company like ambesoftware would remember to do something like redraw everything else (which is such a dangerous process apparently, but I'm sure they're the renegades to do it), especially since the project is expected to hit some turbulence to begin with.

I am not disputing the coolness of Foo Products making a cameo appearence, I am disputing that there is no need to go to the lengths DrMoo has suggested to secure such an appearance (even if it "was" a "joke"), although apparently I'm wrong and everyone either thinks Ambesoftware is too stupid to have an artist redraw all the sprites to suit the parody laws or that the idea of redrawing the sprites is just plain impossible.

[Black Ninja]

The sprites have been redrawn thousands of times. While it's questionable, I'm fairly certain that in some cases something as simple as a recolor counts as a remake.

Anyway, while we'd all love Foo Products to be in the game somehow, that's (at this point) irrelevant. It's not our game to make, and even if it was it's only 1% done, so thinking this early about cameos and such would just be foolish.

[Violet CLM]

What is all this talk about the Terexin sprite? This is a 3D game. :( Even if there were foo movies for some bizarre reason, why would they be remotely sprite-based?

[n00b]

2d level design exists in 3d games, such as the Qwark levels in Ratchet and Clank 3.

[Jerrythabest]

2,5D has it all. Remember that discussion? That was awesome. I hope the next <strike>fool</strike> one to say "I'm making JJ3" makes it 2,5D. Jazz Jackrabbit is made as a 2D platformer and the only way to make it somewhat 3D without screwing up the whole gameplay (left right up down ;p) is by making it 2,5D.

[Xobim]

What is all this talk about the Terexin sprite? This is a 3D game. :( Fooruman is part of the Foo Movies, not the game. Ambesoft wants to keep the story based on the original JJ3 one. Besides, the terexin sprite wouldn't make any sense if it were to be included in the game.
In fact, adding the foo movies, which are more part of the community than the JJ universe, won't make much sense either.

Unless Ambesoft is considering to do anything with fooruman or the terexin sprite, we should keep Fooruman and JJ3 separated.

[Jerrythabest]

(By quoting UR's post you mean you agree with it? I don't really know why you quoted it otherwise ;p)

Anyway, I agreed on both of you.

[Xobim]

I'm adding a few words to what UR says. I agree with him.

[n00b]

Fooruman is part of the Foo Movies, not the game. Ambesoft wants to keep the story based on the original JJ3 one. Besides, the terexin sprite wouldn't make any sense if it were to be included in the game.

Two words- Unobtrusive cameo.

Dear god n00b, can I say anything without you violently lashing out at me?

Isn't it rather obvious that I'm reminding the rest of the forum members and not Ambesoftware? I don't think they're stupid, and I'd wish you'd get off my (-) with all these comments about me being stupid. I'm simply reminding people that Foomovies contain sprites not owned by Epic, and there is an almost null chance that the copyright owners would allow the original content in a game they would gain nothing from.

For a moron, I seem to understand things better than some people here, n00b.

[Dermo]

Actually the company would probably allow that. If people see the fooruman and go through the credits, they may actually say "oh look where this sprite came from! Let's play that game!"

We could be doing them a favor!

[ShadeJackrabbit]

Yeah, but I know that I for one do not go through the credits. I usually skip them or wait for them to be over, without reading them. Besides, I'm not sure what happened to Moonlite Software...

[DoubleGJ]

Well that's you. I always read credits, just to show respect to the people who made something I just watched or played.

[Violet CLM]

Besides, I'm not sure what happened to Moonlite Software...

[Jerrythabest]

Now that you are in link-posting mode, post a link to some place that shows me the first appearance of fooruman ever. Thanks! =D

[Black Ninja]

Do you want the first appearance of Fooruman (race 11), or do you want the first appearance of Terexin (hocus01)?

[Jerrythabest]

Both :D

Let's get ontopic in the meanwhile. So why would Fooruman ever be added to Jazz3?

[Dermo]

For humor!

[Jerrythabest]

They can use ontopic stuff for humor too! This weird man has nothing to do with JJ at all :/

[Black Ninja]

I'd like to say for the record that my original post about Fooruman being in JJ3 was a joke. That said, upon further thought I think it would actually be a pretty good idea.

The game clearly shouldn't just be a big community cameo-bag (if it's ever even finished, which is doubtful). However, having jokes/characters/etc from within the community (such as Fooruman, chickens, and possibly cornbread) would make the game more popular among its target audience (this forum).

[Speeza]

put me in the game XD , and ajazz. that would fit better :P

[Dermo]

Well if we put ajazz in the game, eventually, jazz would end up commiting suicide.

[Xobim]

Why not just a bonus episode with all sort of community jokes inside it? Just a community additions to the game.

[Jerrythabest]

That's a good idea.

[KRSplat]

Make AJazz the only playable character.

[Ninja 101]

An interesting twist...
Devan is actually the underdog for a much more evil entity.

[NovaStar]

[ThunderPX]

An interesting twist...
Devan is actually the underdog for a much more evil entity.

What the...? This isn't Sonic the Hedgehog.

[ShadeJackrabbit]

Or any of the other overly cliched games with a similar idea to them...

[Dermo]

the real lori is locked up while devan sends a decoy that tries to decieve jazz into death

[n00b]

Jazz is fed up with never being able to stop Devan and commits suicide.

[Xobim]

It might as well be the other way round...

With Devan dead because he is fed up with Jazz thwarting his evil plans, the intergalactic rabbit can finally live in peace. They turn their back to Jazz, because they found out he only wanted to fight Devan for the merchandise. So now Jazz must fight against the intergalactic rabbits who all want to kill him for his treachery.

Sounds much more interesting...

[Ninja 101]

:rolleyes: or maybe just the same way it is and has been...

[Jerrythabest]

Nah. We need new awesomeness. Spaz decides to become a girl and Jazz falls in love with him. Lori tells Jazz you shouldn't be in love (like that) with your brother... but secretly Lori, as being lesbian, gets pregnant of Spaz, because she also fell in love with him. Then she dies of complications with the birth of their child and Jazz commits suicide because of losing his brother to Lori, and because of losing his sister. Spaz remains alone and finds his true love in Devan, who suddenly kills him after many years: Spaz was the enemy!

[finnish pro]

That sounds... umm.... "funny" :D

[n00b]

It might as well be the other way round...

Sounds much more interesting...

Except it totally disregards the literary rules of a deveolping character. Somewhere down the line, Jazz changed his motivation from money to making a metaphorical touchdown with Eva. Your idea therefore, makes no sense.

Mine however does as Devan routinely comes back, much like King K. Rool, with an even Crazier plot. If certain info provided in JJA is to be believed, the same somewhat applies to Dark Shell.
Case in point: Jazz is very bad at erradicating leaders of oppresive turtle regimes, despite this being his only career.

[Xobim]

I've based that story on the JJ1 manual comic, which was a big mistake as you pointed out. I just think it would be a lot cooler if Jazz would fight the rabbits instead of the turtle faction.

[Speeza]

also put the truth on jazz3 about epic loseing the jazz2 source code in the toilet while it was on a memory stick.

[KRSplat]

Eva has an affair and Jazz hunts down the other rabbit...who turns out to be a turtle. A turtle named Devan Shell. And the "affair" was a hoax; Devan left clues to set Jazz up by causing him to believe it was real.

[Black Ninja]

I hereby declare the time for making up horrible storylines to be officially over. There'll be plenty of time for that if/when the game is far enough along that it needs a storyline.

[Jerrythabest]

I hereby declare the game to be officially far enough along that it needs a <!-- horrible --> storyline.

I hereby declare that you should tell us.

I hereby declare the this thread's topic to be forgotten. (it was JJ3 remake)

Stop making junk posts in this topic. <s>That's what Comedy Cafe is for</s>

If I were ambesoftware, I'd be rather furious to waste my time checking this topic frequently and finding nothing that's helpful in any way.

[Dermo]

I hereby loled at BN's post.

[ambesoftware]

Well, you know guys its not that I don't read all of this. But what do you expect me to answer?

[n00b]

I hereby loled at BN's post.

Drmoo- YOU are NOT funny. Black Ninja is funny. Radium is funny. Fawriel's critiques on my art are drop dead hilarious. YOU however are NOT funny.

Please kindly stop being an asshat and try to stay on some kind of logical topic.

[Dermo]

noob dont even try to single me out like i was the only one doing that "i hereby declare" crap.

[NovaStar]

noob dont even try to single me out like i was the only one doing that "i hereby declare" crap.

The only one doing it excessively, yes.

[Violet CLM]

Hey, guys, this conversation really doesn't add anything to the topic. I understand it's important to make sure people understand why they're being asked not to perpetuate an activity, but that can take place in private messages, or at least with constructive phrasing. "Please kindly stop being an asshat and try to stay on some kind of logical topic," for instance, is NOT a constructive phrase, and the language does not encourage the person you're addressing to comply with your commands so much as to get offended and defensive. Which defensiveness, by the way, can ALSO take place in private messages. As it is, the last thirteen posts (including this one) have had nothing to do with the topic at hand. Considering there are doubtlessly any number of things that can be talked about when presented with the idea of an independent company making a new Jazz game, such digression seems... well, uncalled for.

[Jerrythabest]

Make it fourteen!!

Nice post, I hereby declare that I'll stop saying that too because that was a good and nice <strike>"Please kindly stop being an asshat and try to stay on some kind of logical topic"</strike> post.

[Xobim]

Let us all just shut up until Ambesoft posts an update about which we can discuss...

[Dermo]

storyline related: devan comes out with a secret weapon (weapon to be decided). Jazz must stop devan from using it.

idea2: spaz or lori is kidnapped. Jazz must rescue.

idea3: whole new villan

idea4: jazz falls into another dimension while trying to figure out how to shut off Devan's evil carrot destruction machine. Now jazz must battle his way out of that alternate dimension.

[NovaStar]

All of those are unoriginal or bland. Stop trying :(.

[Jerrythabest]

Didn't Ambesoft say he's got a storyline already?

[NovaStar]

I think so, which only adds further to the reason to stop trying.

[Ninja 101]

Something really mad and unique.
With mecha...

[Jerrythabest]

Stop Trying >o

[KRSplat]

I want to see more character models.

[NovaStar]

So do I.

[Ninja 101]

more characters?
Razz could be used...

[Jerrythabest]

Hmm I think that would be fun indeed, something new. It all depends on how far they will go with stealing intellectual properties. I'd love to see some models too indeed.

[n00b]

As much as we associate Razz Ma Tazz with Jazz and everything, isn't he still owned by Noogy?

[Dermo]

stupid companies and their effin copywrites

[Ninja 101]

Crap. you know, I allways have an idea, then someone comes along and says ' no that's not right' or 'you can't do that' etc.
That really gets on my nerves.
that and this (-) headache, stomach ache, shivering when i'm not cold, cough etc. etc.

[Dermo]

If it hurts you that much, I got some spare rope in my shed...

[n00b]

stupid companies and their effin copywrites

Noogy is one person, and you misspelled copyrights. The latter isn't even important the point is- Were you even aware of who Noogy was?

[Jerrythabest]

Tell us, I wonder who he is.

[n00b]

Jerry, Seriously? You're not being sarcastic here?

Remember, you have your community membership on the line. (http://www.jazz2online.com/jcf/showthread.php?p=415248#post415248)

[Violet CLM]

Noogy!

[Ninja 101]

ok?

[Black Ninja]

If it hurts you that much, I got some spare rope in my shed...

This is the worst post in JCF history, DrMoo. You should be ashamed.

[Jerrythabest]

WHAAAAAAA Ninjas are taking over this thread!!!...

Okay, so where did this project go?

[Black Ninja]

Just so no one wonders, I was Black Ninja long before Ninja came around. ;p

Anyway, it seems ambesoftware is on a hiatus or something.

[n00b]

According to the ambesoftware forums (does no one check those? Its like Baggers' project all over again), they are too busy working on side projects to raise funds for this one to constantly make updates and answer questions online.

[Jerrythabest]

As if you actually need money to continue programming. Maybe they really are a company. Those always seem to have weird laws.

[n00b]

Jerry stop. Collaborate and think.
You need money to be able to be a functioning citizen of the real world, and if the majority of your time is spent programming a bunny game and not much else you're going to need some kind of money source for everything else in the real world such as: Food, clothes, gas, bills etc. Hence when I say the funds are for the project, I mean keeping the project members off the streets.

[Stijn]

Jerry was being sort of sarcastic, I think. As in "whoa I thought they were just a bunch of college students but they actually need to make money after all?".

[n00b]

I'm never entirely sure with Jerry to be honest.

[Jerrythabest]

Whahah surely you are never entirely sure. Never. Are you?

[Dermo]

I'm never entirely sure with Jerry to be honest.

Me either...

[ambesoftware]

Good to see some discussions on this Thread for once ^^.

Its true that we have to make a living as well as doing the jazz project,
So if it seems like we're on another planet or something we're probably working ^^..

But the forum is still there guys, we'll answer all your questions, I promise ^^.
Erlend - The project lives!

[FQuist]

Ambe software,

As you might have noticed 99% of the previously made JJ3/fan game projects that were attempted never materialized because at one point the creators disappeared. Have you thought about doing some "pledge" (if that is legally/commercially possible for you) to release your work open source if your project might fail? (of course I hope it doesn't!)

[ambesoftware]

I haven't thought about it .. but sure, if we should fail(and I have announce failure). We will release all of the Scripts, Models, Environments and all the rest. But I don't think it will come to that ^^. We may be busy, but we don't give up that easy. ^^

[Dermo]

I am really glad to hear that. But ambesoft, you must remember our spirits are down. No high hopes for this JJ3D project.

Remember baggers getting our hopes up?

Remember Slayer getting our hopes up?

Remember Coolpeanutbutter getting our hopes up?

Well there's a few examples of people who said they'd never quit and quit.

Also, question. Is this legal? (http://www.jazz2online.com/jcf/showthread.php?t=14872&page=2)

I don't care if it's not though lol. I won't tell. I just wanted to bring up an interesting point.

[n00b]

Drmoo, please speak for yourself unless you are speaking in the royal we, especially since I don't even know what the second project is and never had high hopes for the third to begin with. Also, the fact that Baggers never flat out quit, and the fact the project shifted its focus from JJ2 remake to brand new engine never really made me feel all that disappointed.

[ambesoftware]

Also, question. Is this legal?
I don't care if it's not though lol. I won't tell. I just wanted to bring up an interesting point.

Well we saw this thread back in 2006, but we still decided to make a techdemo and try to get them on our side.. ..And that is still our goal.

So time will tell..

[n00b]

A highly impressive tech demo is much better than just asking for permission with nothing.

[ambesoftware]

I agree..

[FreeFull]

Who doesn't agree?

[Jerrythabest]

Does it matter that much?

[n00b]

Who doesn't agree?

Apparently this guy. (http://www.jazz2online.com/jcf/showpost.php?p=349437&postcount=1)

[FreeFull]

It was some marketing guy. What do you expect?

[n00b]

I meant Jam.

[Jerrythabest]

Whahahh FreeFull you made me LOL for some minutes.

But, after reading the first e-mail of Mark again I noticed something I hadn't noticed back when those mails were sent. He said that Epic "No longer lets outside developers make games with their intellectual properties." Maybe there is some legal way to do things like this using a time machine or things like that. ;p

[Dermo]

Actually, Jerry's kind of on to something. The time machine idea, no lol. But I mean he said "no longer." That would mean that before the emails were sent, we were allowed to. So therefore, we can change the date-stamp on jj3D to a date what is before the emails were sent :D

[Black Ninja]

Epic will never know what hit them. NOT.

I don't think I need to even explain why this is the worst idea in human history.

[FQuist]

Because you just posted that plan on a public forum where Epic would read it, maybe. ;-)

[Jerrythabest]

Okay, that's what we're gonna do. Now pm that to ambesoft and delete the post please.

[Black Ninja]

I have the best idea EVAR.

Let's leave it up to ambesoft since they are, in fact, the ones making the game.

I too was wondering when there was an update , doesn't seem theres been any for 2 months now D;.

[ambesoftware]

Well we're alive and working. We're working on a few new titles,and the jazz project of course. I'm sorry about not being able to update the website, having some problems connecting to the ftp server(the provider is taking care of it) But I thought I'd answer you I do check in on these forums once in a while.

Any more questions feel free to ask.

[n00b]

Can you give us any information on these other titles?

[ambesoftware]

Keep Stoping by the site once in awhile, there will be updates as soon as this ftp problem is fixed.

[Speeza]

uh , I don't think that was his question ambersoft. but thanks for telling us what your doing.

[ambesoftware]

What I meant was there will be information about the "titles" with upcoming updates.

[Bboy Type7]

Some dude on youtube made a guide on how to get JJ3. If u ever played the gba version of jazz, that's jj3 there.

[Xobim]

The GBA version is what we call "Jazz advance". You don't have any clue what this project is about, do you?

[Dreedo]

i just looked at the video on website and it looks good for a start.... i hope you manage to finish this eventually... even though the website hasnt been updated in months... i still have hope :)

[Speeza]

I wish I did. But ambersoft used to be all at us with updates. The project is falling to dead status soon.

[ambesoftware]

Well, I'm sorry about the missing updates. But We're not at all dead.
Now we're currently working to pay for any 3d/2d art to be made.
this is done by doing some design work, and making some smaller games.

But try to keep an eye up for updates on our websites.

I've been checking the site out pretty regularly, whilst the game is in very early stages, I'm very hopeful about this game :D!

My idea is neither JJ3 nor 1.25.
It's Guns of Jazz Jackrabbit.
Here is what it could include:

MUST be 3D like jj3.
MUST have editor.
MUST have object editor (like jsd in jj2).
Must have dialogs with interaction.
Upper left: Face of rabbit.
Upper right: Name of rabbit.
Center: What he says.
Below: What YOU say HIM.
Tasks and missions with stuff done flags.
Super bonus if you collect ALL coins in WHOLE EPISODE.
Bmp, Tga and Avi textures.
Transparency mask.
Background Layers.
Animated textures.
More animation libraries.
MP3 music reading besides mod plugs.
Single sided 3d objects (so you don't see inside the head).
A large inventory.
4D doors (like carrot shop in jj3).
Graphics like play station three.
Home cooked levels list.
Automatical targeting.
Perfect functionality on windows ME, XP, Vista.
Unr to JGM (jj3 to jjg maps) converter.
Sold in all 6 countries.
You control Eva and Devan.
24 bit tileset textures.
Devan steals your gun.
No silly terms (musting write brackets that not exist on your keyboard.
Tell your own ideas.

[Black Ninja]

I have edited the above post to insert my opinions and ideas. Words of BN are in bold.

My idea is neither JJ3 nor 1.25.
It's Guns of Jazz Jackrabbit.
Here is what it could include:

MUST be 3D like jj3. <b>I disagree, but many JJ fans would like a 3D game, so fine.</b>
MUST have editor. <b>This is a must, yes.</b>
MUST have object editor (like jsd in jj2). <b>Not really mandatory. Hardly anyone even uses JSD. Still, it would be nice.</b>
Must have dialogs with interaction.
Upper left: Face of rabbit.
Upper right: Name of rabbit.
Center: What he says.
Below: What YOU say HIM. <b>I do not understand what you mean on this line or the lines above it that I didn't comment on.</b>
Tasks and missions with stuff done flags. <b> The English language exploded here; I can't decipher this at all.</b>
Super bonus if you collect ALL coins in WHOLE EPISODE. <b>Neither a horrible idea nor a great idea; why not?</b>
Bmp, Tga and Avi textures. <b>BMP, TGA, and AVI as textures? I can maybe understand BMP and TGA, though the files would be massive. However, using a full-fledged video container as a texture is an awful idea.</b>
Transparency mask. <b>Huh?</b>
Background Layers. <b>You mean like skyboxes? I don't think I understand this either.</b>
Animated textures. <b>Sure. But not AVI files.</b>
More animation libraries. <b>Can't argue with that I guess.</b>
MP3 music reading besides mod plugs. <b>Everyone seems to want this. I personally think it's a bad idea (why we wouldn't use OGG or some other awesometacular format is beyond me), but everyone who's ever made a level wants it, so might as well have that.</b>
Single sided 3d objects (so you don't see inside the head). <b>Wait, wait, wait. You mean like in Doom? That's an awful idea.</b>
A large inventory. <b>Can't argue with this either.</b>
4D doors (like carrot shop in jj3). <b>Fact: JJ3 featured no '4D doors.' I don't know what you mean.</b>
Graphics like play station three. <b>I could talk about how big a joke the PS3 is here, but that would be a waste of time. I assume you mean good graphics, though that's funny since no graphics I've seen on the PS3 were anything that couldn't be done on a PC (or an Xbox 360 for that matter). But sure, good graphics would be nice.</b>
Home cooked levels list. <b>I have to disagree. The way JJ2 handles user-made levels kind of sucks. If there were iTunes-esque methods of organizing the list, I'd change my mind (sort by author, sort by gametype, etc).</b>
Automatical targeting. <b>Awful, awful, awful idea.</b>
Perfect functionality on windows ME, XP, Vista. <b>Replace Windows ME with Windows 2000 and I'd kind of agree. However, the fact that you mentioned no non-Windows operating systems is sad; why not have support for Linux and Mac OS X while you're at it?</b>
Unr to JGM (jj3 to jjg maps) converter. <b>Bad idea. It would be used to convert illegal material so fast that it would make my head hurt.</b>
Sold in all 6 countries. <b>"All 6 countries?" Last I knew, there were more than 6.</b>
You control Eva and Devan. <b>Certainly not mandatory, but it might be fun I guess.</b>
24 bit tileset textures. <b>Why only 24 bit?</b>
Devan steals your gun. <b>....k</b>
No silly terms (musting write brackets that not exist on your keyboard. <b>This makes no sense. The English language hath exploded once more.</b>
Tell your own ideas.

It does not make sense that you posted ideas for another game (which would never [read: <b>never</b>] be made, by the way) in this topic. Some of these ideas are moderately ok; the rest just don't make sense.

When the queen screams, hang upon her shield, or you will have a sad impact with the wall.
She gets tired screaming.
When she's tired, buttstomp her.
When her health is critical, she chases you.
Jump nearby a wall and she'll crash her head there.

Schwartzenguard:
It throws the frailerang.
Get mehind him and shoot him.
He will turn back to see you and the frailerang will hit his head!

Cyber 6.0 (robot)
16 meters tall!
Chases you shooting you electrons.
Shoot him to increase his wrath.
When it's full, he chases you fastly.
Then avoid him and he will crush against the wall.
If he falls off a ledge, he will use his screw to return up.

Uterus
16 eggs protect him.
Shoot the eggs.
When an egg falls, buttstomp it before it returns up.
When there's no eggs, uterus goes in his shield.
Push it in the mincer to break his shell.
Shoot him as he chases you.
When he falls, mince his meat and... ENJOY THE SUSHI!

how "original"

[KRSplat]

Any recent news on this project?

[Speeza]

I hope so I think there should be some nice process now :)

[Xobim]

Well we'll have some pictures of the new game up soon, but there is not much left on the techdemo code at all. So there won't be an update here for awhile.
This is what Ambesoft said before the silence on the forums. Right now they're working on the techdemo.

[Speeza]

Hey guys remember this thread. I just wanted to inform everybody that sadly the admin hasn't been on his forum for nearly a month:(.

I honestly hope this doesn't die and has just hit inactive for a bit. As it has so much going for it.

[DennisKainz]

A true Jazz Jackrabbit game can't be made by someone that leaves after 6 years from his first game.
Epic WON'T create JJ3. And I have got an idea.
Why don't send the JJ ideas to some TRUE publisher, like Electronic Arts, Naughty Dog, Crystal Dynamics or someone else OTHER than Epic?

[Sonyk]

Because Epic still holds all rights and licenses to the Jazz Jackrabbit franchise. Nothing is possible without them.

A better idea would be to make a new JJ-inspired game.

edit: wait naughty dog? are you for serious?

[n00b]

Yeah man. MEGAMAN NINE IS NOT A TRUE MEGAMAN GAME.

EDIT- JJ-inspired game?

[Alister]

Possum is gonna be awesome, guys. I can hardly wait.

[n00b]

Just an FYI, I'm not actually doing any possum related work. I think I made that Skitch zombie sprite a year ago. Or maybe earlier this year. Or maybe last month.

I just don't even know anymore. All I know was I was joking. Alister was too, I think.
Just wanted to clear that up in case some one actually thought I was actually proposing we redo Skitch.

[IJskonIJn]

So, jazz 3d is dead?

[Speeza]

guess so.

[finnish pro]

:(
*cry*

[Jerrythabest]

Yeah, it's a sad world :(


Let's make Spaz 3D instead, maybe he'll survive longer.

lolz.


Who knows. Maybe there will be an update one day. I'm still watching the forums.

[Speeza]

I think there wasn't enough support (fan saying omg your awsome and coming up with ideas)

NVM :(

[sonicnathan 1]

i don't think it was lack of support. I think something to Erland as nobody even came by to say the project was dad.

[FawFul]

White is actually just very light yellow.
right..

[Ninja]

Just so no one wonders, I was Black Ninja long before Ninja came around. ;p

Anyway, it seems ambesoftware is on a hiatus or something.

I wouldn't say LONG before, if you're referring to me.

[JustRob]

Looking good, but I don't like the fact that you're trying to steal Epic's copyrights. Did they give you permission anyway? You can't just take stuff without permission and try to sell it for your own profit. It'd be like remaking Super Mario Bros. 1 with revamped graphics and trying to get money for it

[Violet CLM]

That was a topic of discussion for much of the first page and presumably after that. Do you have any specific questions or comments on things that were actually said?

[JustRob]

Not really, just wanna know if you got Epic's permission or not

[PT32]

Someone actually did do that. Google "mario forever".
It's okay, but it's funky.
Anyway, I think Epic is convinced that because G.O.D. Games couldn't front the money [or didn't want to] for jj3, and because they couldn't find anybody else, that JJ3 is not happening.
Stupid, if you ask me...

[DennisKainz]

If Cliff really works for success, and not for passion, BUT REALLY loved people, he would morph Jazz into a shoot 'em up with a tough Jazz as main character.
PT32, I'm so sorry for you, but you should give up. Cliff is mighty, and you either play something else (than Jazz 3) or play not at all.
I also have made an image about it.

phhht. I know it isn't likely. But one can always hope.....

And yet you don't like violent games. Okay. Yeah.

[Foly]

Just a question:

Is someone working on JJ3 now?

Posts like these make me want to run for the hills screaming "AUGHAUGHAUGHAUGHAUHG".

Can you please just read the thread first to try and get an answer instead of just asking wildly? 11 pages is not that much. :)

Sorry but i dont have much time in the morning.

And why dont you post an answer instead of spam?

I'm not speaking of ME, but of OTHER ones.

[wicke]

Sounds good if you Epic allows you to do it. I haven't yet got a copy of real JJ3, so any kind of new Jazz game is welcome.

Because of all those problems with getting the source code of JJ2, I'm really planning to try to code a clone of JJ2 that could work as close like JJ2 as possible. But because of no knowledge about coding a game, this project will be big and might abanbone before the clone is ready.

About the legality: The game will use the original files (levels, audio, episodes, tilesets... etc.) of JJ2 (retail), so the original game is needed, so everyone who wants to use the clone, must have a copy of original game and there shouldn't be any copyright fights because they loose nothing if/when I release the clone.

[NovaStar]

Sorry but i dont have much time in the morning.

Because I would prefer people to read and get an answer instead of asking blindly. For the record, the answer is no, and had you read back a mere one page even you would have gotten that answer. ._.

[Jindo]

Sorry to bring this back, but I noticed recently (maybe it's been a month or two by now) that the ambesoftware site is now password protected? Someone's doing something D:.

[Jerrythabest]

hmmm.. usually such signs of activity brings hope to 'the peoples'.

But this feels different to me :(

[Take One]

To be honest, I have a feeling that the password protection thing means that the rent for the site hasn't been paid for a while. It's a real shame - after saying that he'd announce that the project has died and they'd release all the material for it, then just disappearing. I was trying to do a bit of work for it, too, but he didn't reply to e-mails after a while, and then this happened. If that really is the end of this project, I'm sure there will be other opportunities, but I'll always be open to the possibility of this being revived sometime in the future.

[abraker]

Hey guys! This is Doldiz! I've found Jazz the JackRabbit 3 ALPHA DEMO! Unfortunatly that's the farthest we get. Enjoy the unfinished version... not that it will ever be finished :(

[abraker]

Here's the link(on the next reply)

[Olsen]

That's old news I'm afraid. :)

[Jerrythabest]

Triple post and warez link :o


I vote to keep the link here. It's totally worth it. Too little community members have ever tried JJ3.

[Torkell]

Sorry, it's warez.

[Dermo]

Can we not revive this thread anymore? It's too depressing...

[Jerrythabest]

It's not about reviving the thread, Dermo, it's about reviving the project ;)

[abraker]

Ok then, if JJ3 will never be done, and the demo is not allowed, why talk about it? It only brings more depresion.

[Jerrythabest]

IMO, talking about our wonderful 3D dream also gives hope.

[dermo529]

*cough*

So lets talk about JCS v2 that Neo is supposed to be creating. He got started. Where's that (-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-) now??? Where is HE? HUH?????

[DarkB]

I think JCS v2 will not be released too soon.Or maybe is not supposed to be released ;)

[Sonyk]

Or he's just busy and instead of antagonizing him over it you ought to just give him he benefit of the doubt and move on with your lives?

[DarkB]

yea this option is good ;)

[Troglobite]

I still have hope after someone (Violet I think?) posted that foreground trigger level.

[abraker]

What new features should JCS v.2 will have? Can we request the features?

[Troglobite]

[plunK]

I still have hope after someone (Violet I think?) posted that foreground trigger level.

He is not the first person to get that foreground triggers. Neo has (neobeo's firetruck) and i believe blur has? If Neo ever releases his new JCS v2. then foreground triggers can be implemented through the bug he found.

Now this map i always thought perculiar. I suspect the Neo---> who uploaded it is NeoBeo. Why? when not in SP mode, both flags turn blue to avoid accidental captures. I have never seen another map of such. It was uplaoded FEb 26th 2009 so the project could still be go?

This is an absolutely excellent tool. Everything seems to be working great so far

This is an excellent tool and very usefull :D
Now is possible to make almost everything on a lvl.
