A rather unknown indie group Turbo Tech Games lead by Róbert Taddeo has started a Jazz Jackrabbit kickstarter.

For high pledgers (125 dollars and above) you gain access to the alpha and beta. But also being able to give direct response to the game development.

In my humble opinion, it look uninspired and rather ugly. As people commented before, it looks shady. I'm not blown away.

and the project is.. gone.
project-test (Canceled) is the subject of an intellectual property dispute and is currently unavailable.

UPDATE - 05/09/2014 @ 10:31
- Turbo Tech Games hasn't responded yet to my questions.
- The first international outlet is talking about it, they wonder how this is possible without IP rights. http://cliqist.com/2014/09/04/jazz-j...eds-ip-rights/

@NoogyTweet @Ins0mnia Hey, I could use the work. Tell Róbert Taddeo to call me if he reaches his goal and @epicgames doesn't cease & desist.

A tweet reply from former Jazz Jackrabbit 2 artist Noogy:
"While I'm all for more Jazz, I have my reservations here. Particularly with redrawn concepts originally by @Nickadoo and myself."

It looks like the game will be free 2 play upon release.

Are you going to sell it after the end of project?
''No. The game is non profit, it will be released as free for everyone''

- It seems that the Twitter gaming community is sceptical about JJR project. https://twitter.com/search?f=realtim...abbit&src=typd

UPDATE - 03/09/2014 @ 13:30
- The Kickstarter promo is full of typos en errors. Jazz Jackrabbit is several times misspelled: JACK JAZZ RABBIT, JAZZ JACKRABIIT, Jazz JACK RABBIT.... rly? Also scretch goal (stretch goal) or amo (ammo) being misspelled is also rather amusing.
- No mention of Epic Games.
- Nobody of the original team involved.
- Cliffy B seems to like it @ https://twitter.com/therealcliffyb/s...49704442458112
- Funny, Peter Molydeux was one of the first to mention it on Twitter https://twitter.com/PeterMolydeux/st...48787600756736 *Note, that is not Peter Molyneux
- I've send out a message to Epic Games and Turbo Tech Games (the guys behind the project) for more information.

When we know more, we will post it.
