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. ![]()

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. |
