There havn't been any new news on possom in almost a year now. Did you give up?

If you were to read the past posts, the state of Possum is sort of idle. There is very little work currently being done on it, which is why there hasn't been any news.

I know they say it's "idle", but generally, when something dosn't move for over a year, it's dead.

The situation can be summed up as follows:

Nobody wants to work on it.

You can interpert that either way you like.

Yes, he's right.
Nobody wants to work on it, but Metal won't get back to me about it!

I saw that one coming. :P
Didn't Metal quit the team? If so, asking him probably won't help you much.

I just got a reply from him. He is still in Possum, but he says they don't need our help.

That's lame, if they aren't working on it.

Ah, yes, that was Dino. Sorry, I've lost track.

It's easier for a lot of people just to call it dead. I don't see this project ever starting up again anyway.

That doesn't mean I want it to be dead, of course.

Can you guys at least release a little movie of what the gameplay is like?

Really...it would be nice for at least <i>some</i> news, or anything really. I mean, it's understandable that the team would be too busy to work on it, but it would at least be nice to get some news about what's going on.

Ooh, a forum about a fangame.
Ooh, a recent post.

Possum isn't a fangame.

Possum is a game supposedly being worked on by a group of people who used to play JJ2. Maybe some of them still do, not sure. After JJ3 was cancelled, they decided to make their own game, but it is NOT a fangame, but an independant game with no more relation to Jazz then the authors, and maybe a few "borrowed" gameplay elements. But hey, what do you call Jazz's relation to Sonic?

That'd be kind of dificult since I know for a fact that there's no working animation in Possum yet.

The sprite you see in the screenshots was actually done by Gizmo. I have many more frames than that, but that's all you see because the animation code is not in yet.
