Smile Current WIP: Jazz' Valley II

Since I am new here, I have no idea where to correctly place this, so if this has been placed in the wrong forum, feel free to move it to the right one.

Anyway, I've been a long-time player of Jazz Jackrabbit 2 and have made my share of custom levels, to which of most of them I look back on in shame. That aside, I'm proud to present a project that will hopefully be one of my better works.

King's Valley II, Jazz Jackrabbit 2 style, or you could say Jazz Valley II

What this means is that I'm attempting to recreate ALL 60 Levels of the King's Valley II game in Jazz Jackrabbit 2, to bring a bit of nostalgia within the game as well as a bit of honoring it.

Here is what you can expect so far:

General:
- 60 Levels full of puzzles
- The general premise is to collect all of the Blue Gems and find the right Trigger Crate to open the door which leads to the next level.
- Certain blocks can only be destroyed with specific weapons
- Some puzzles require a bit of thinking
- There are levels that have secret areas hidden within. Be sure to find them all where they are present, some are even MANDATORY to find in order to progress.
- Easy Mode offers more hidden health pick-ups, Hard mode offers more enemies as obstacles.
- There may be multiple trigger crates around...
- Use your weapons wisely...
- Some levels are small, others are big and require more exploring.
- All levels follow the exact stages of the game it's based on.
- The tileset changes after every 10 levels for added variety, much like how in the original game the tileset changes after every 10 stages (one pyramid = 10 stages, 6 pyramids total)

Enemies:
- There are only four kinds of enemies found in this level series, like there are four enemies only in the King's Valley II game itself.

Current status:
- 48 Levels completed and are being tested and edited where necessary.
- The 12 final levels are yet to be set up.
- All levels are so far tested with Jazz, will be also testing them as Spaz and Lori to see where I can compensate for their different abilities.

Looks interesting!

It seems to me that your implementation is just begging to be AngelScripted, though.

AngelScripted? What does that mean?

In the latest version of the JJ2+ patch, a scripting language was added, which is called AngelScript. It can do some pretty incredible things, although it takes a little while to get your head around at first.

Ah, I understand. I've been making this with using the JCS of the original Jazz Jackrabbit 2, so I apologize for not being up to the level with the next enhancements. ^^;

AS is like adding marmite to a peanut butter sandwich; it results in something delicious, but you'll still get a pretty epic sandwich if you don't have any marmite.

... Okay, maybe marmite wasn't the best choice of example, but you get the idea.

Ah, I see. I probably should check it out, or ask for help...
