1. Totally rewrite the JJ2 engine from scratch.
This *is* possible, i think the biggest problem is that we need to hack into the Jazz 2 Fileformats. Then we'll have to rewrite the game

I think i would be a good idea to use the SDL.
If you are able to write in C++ and you want to help me you are very welcome it's a lot to do and we'll really need a lot of coders and some fileformathackers.

2. We could make a "Jazz Jackrabbit 3" (maybe we'll have to rename it because it's copyrighted ?!?)
It could be some kind of 3D-Jump 'n run.
I suggest using the Crystal Space 3d engine (free software, fast, platform independent and i know how to use it).

I will only start ONE of these 2 projects , and i will start it ONLY if we are enough developers. if you are good at writing C++ code and you want to develop one of the projects with me please post here, if you re good at modeling 3d-characters and objects or have some good ideas what to do (project 2 only) post here as well.
Good luck
