This is how helpful Epic is with us:





Sorry but we are not going to send you the source code.

(I put xxx's in my email so you all wouldn't spam me. lol)

yeah i pretty much saw this one coming...

Perhaps he knows that your hands aren't anyhow "good" to keep the source code.

What is that supposed to mean???

Stop bothering Epic with silly e-mails. They're not going to attach the source code to their reply e-mail. Have you ever heard about intellectual property? Your e-mails only make it more unlikely that the source will ever be released.

And IF they would release it they would not send it to someone who cannot even write a properly layed out e-mail. If I was Mark Rein, at this point I would either not have replied or have sent an irritated reply just to make sure you won't mail again.

LOL,so many people have asked for it,they probeply have a bot now what send back corny messegers.
still I think we have showed epic how much people like the game.
Pehaps just pehaps one day they will give the source code away.
The only thing we can do for now is,keep making ,programs, levels, music ,and tilesets for are green hero.

I feel like emailing Mark Rein asking him to just stop replying to silly demands for the source code.

What if we send them an honest e-mail?

"Hi, we're, like, geeks... and we're gonna make our own game using your JJ2 source code. TORRENT PLZ."

... never mind.

You could all just chip in enough money to BUY the code.

Ae has a point, but who here has that kind of money? =(
Also, Don't send anymore emails please thanks.

Unless you're going to ship in a very sizable amount of money, it's really not going to be a motive for the release of the source code. Pocket change is not going to do it.

Before posting, maybe read the FAQ to clear things up for yourself.

here are we gonna get the money from,it coss to much.
hmmm over 300 members.
i know lets all chip in some money.
il put in 1p towards are project.

Everyone can send me the money, Yen no longer accepted. ;D

How much would a source code cost?

Can everyone who is commenting about buying the source please read the FAQ part about buying the source code? Your questions miss the mark and answers can be found in there. You aren't going to be able to buy the source, there's no monetary amount attached to it and collecting money for it has no point.

Actually, I think the reason why they won't release it is because they lost it.
Either that or someone's interested in a Jazz 3.

that would be pretty funny if they lost it. I think i'll reply and ask them how much money they want for the code and see if they'll answer with an amount lol.

In the interest of the remainder of the JJ2 community, it'd probably be smarter if you just didn't bother. Besides, the JJ2 source code isn't solely posessed by Epic, so it'd be more trouble than it's worth for them.

To be honest, I don't see why Derby would essentially leave my post blank. Makes more sense to just delete it to me in the circumstances.

Essentially the post was "Leave Epic alone", how that was a WA is beyond me. Of course, I have no way of checking what I said, and at this point I really don't care.

They didn't lose it, most probably. I can't back that up in public, but you'll have to trust that from me.

Please don't bother Mark Rein with questions about source code price. Read the FAQ to see why they are useless questions. The source does not have a price.

By the way, I think I'm not the only one willing to pay more than the 20 Guilders I payed for the game... Either that, or I'm really greedy.

I want to send epic an email and ask them for a jdc duel!

You win. !

Somehow that's funny, yet somehow I just wanna say WHAT THE. They made the fr(-) game, thus know how to play it better. But one day they'll get really bad at it. Trust me. Whether that's these days or not is debateable.

They made the fr(-) game, thus know how to play it better

...what?

DrMoo, this is idiotic. That question has been asked so many times we know the answer to it. Here's how I see it.

Jazz Jackrabbit was produced by TWO companies, Epic and GOD. I would think that to have the scource code for jazz released, you would have to go to both companies to approve the release. Both are not interested in releasing the code, so you are just irritating them with emails.

I will echo everyone here saying DON'T BOTHER EPIC.

Telling the boss his products are crappy ("All I want to do is fix some memory errors that come up.") Isn't the best way to get somthing, so you just ticked him off; Hence the blunt reply.

Fquist, I really think you should close this...

GOD was the publisher, the game was developed by Epic and Orange Game (who then changed names so many times I really don't know who has the source.)

THREE. THREE. THREE. FREE? NO. NO FREE SOURCE CODE FROM THREE COMPANIES. NO. NO. NO. YES? NO. PERIOD.

Mark Rein told me he's secretly planning to upload the source code to J2O.

I think it's only two, seeing GOD was only the publisher.

@Thunderpx, they're now called Guerilla Games

I was once told that the source code was actually a screensaver of an aquarium. Don't hold me to that though.

why does not anybody ask them how much would it cost to buy the source code?

It'll be disguised as a n00bish battle level. He's testing the community - he wants to see how much we really care about JJ2. If there are more than 45 downloads in 3 days, he will commision the recreation of JJ3. Any less, and the Jazz Jackrabbit franchise is completely abandoned.

Because the rights to the source code are held by multiple companies, and for them to agree on a price seems highly unlikely, so it'd be rather pointless.
