it's not fake? whoa give me this odyssey edit with 800x600 text tiles

I have always been supportive of releasing it, but I'd like to re-emphasize that I agree with cooba on that 5 tiles extra don't make a significant difference.

A key argument against making this public is that it would be unfair because a lot of people wouldn't get it because they don't know J2O. However, most people who play in duels or clanwars ("serious" players) actually do, if not only because JDC is hosted on J2O. What does it matter if people can see 5 tiles further than others in, say, a hotel level or polskiBoy32's public battle1 serwer? As long as it does not interfere with games in which people are actually really playing to win, I don't see a problem.

There's still the argument that not everyone has a badass 1600x1200 screen and that the difference between, say, 1600x1200 and 640x480 does make gameplay unfair. Fair enough. A limit of 1024x786 would seem sensible, as this is a resolution supported by most modern equipment.

I am also of the opinion that artificially holding the development of new features back because "some people maybe won't get it" is stupid. After 10 years one can expect that a game has been hacked to death and patched to the max. While Jazz 2 has not been expanded as much as other games as old (or even younger), I think it is not unreasonable to expect people to look around a bit for patches or tools that enhance the game.
