JCS Awards 2019
Another year marked off, means another round of JCS awards! We had quite an eclectic variety of uploads this year, so there's bound to be something to appeal to every taste.
You must read the rules before voting. They are as follows: 1) In the past you were only allowed to vote for one nomination per category. However, in order to allow more levels to get the chance to be appreciated this time around, you are now also allowed, but not obligated to vote for your second and third choices, which respectively have x0.5 and x0.25 the weighting of your main vote. You do not have to vote in every category if you wish not to do so. 2) You are not limited to voting within the nominations, but you are advised to at least check these levels if you haven't already, in order to make your vote fair. Also, unreleased/unfinished levels cannot be voted for; they must be available for public download. 3) Votes are to be kept private until announcement of the overall results. This is to raise the tension, and also to prevent bandwagoning. In order to vote, post your votes here and then delete the post after you have submitted it, and a moderator will undelete it after the deadline. Alternatively, if you prefer, you are allowed to PM them to Stijn, but bare in mind that your choices will be announced in public once the voting stage is over. Any votes left public will be forcibly deleted by moderation, and your vote may not count. 4) Voting closes on 15th January at 23:59 GMT+1. Votes made promptly after this deadline may still be counted but as soon as a moderator undeletes the posts, any subsequent votes will be ignored. Best Battle Level Astolfo - Seren Cold Cavern Classic - DennisKainz Facilis descensus Averno - Loon Isla de Muerta - Loon Mindfull Candy 2.0 - Xan Pot Plant - Loon ...So I Came Back - Electric Ir Solstice - PurpleJazz The Fingers of Icarus - cooba Toxicity - Electric Ir Umbral Thicket - PurpleJazz Best CTF Level Bushido - Laro B Byzantine Blues - Jelly Jam Castle of Devan Shell - Laro B Faux Symmetry - Electric Ir Forgotten empire - Lynx Faster-Than-Light Starship - Warren Galeloch Castle - PurpleJazz Ivankiv Raion - Loon Percolator - cooba Ragnarok - Loon Riparius Ridge - Laro B Scarwood - Jelly Jam Snowland - Toni Sweet Release - Electric Ir TCS Remastered - Ragnarok Tech Tree - Violet CLM Time's up - Lynx Best SP Release Breaking Out* - happygreenfrog Candy Goth - Violet CLM Christmas 2019 - JazzRaccoon Cold Paw* - Archon/Slaz Faded story -part 1 - Lynx Frigid Fortress* - PurpleJazz Penguinvasion* - Jelly Jam Pikitia Ara* - Loon Puszi-nyúl Pác - FarkasUrdung Silent Evening - Slaz Tipplenborough* - PT32 TOMB: Another Rabbit's Story - Violet CLM Toyed Badlands* - Slaz Under the Weather* - Primpy * Holiday Hare '18 levels are nominated individually due to being part a community-made pack. Best Level Script Astolfo - Seren Breaking Out - happygreenfrog Candy Goth - Violet CLM Frigid Fortress - PurpleJazz The Fingers of Icarus - cooba Tech Tree - Violet CLM Under the Weather - Primpy Best Eyecandy Somewhat experimental new category. Since what constitutes "best eyecandy" is no doubt extremely subjective, I am therefore not including any default nominations. There's plenty to choose from, as any level uploaded to Jazz2Online in 2019 will be eligible for this award. There were a lot of very good looking levels this year, so it feels appropriate to offer this accolade. Best JCSer Electric Ir - Faux Symmetry, ...So I Came Back, Sweet Release, Toxicity Jelly Jam - Byzantine Blues, Penguinvasion, Scarwood Laro B - Bushido, Castle of Devan Shell, Riparius Ridge Loon - Facilis descensus Averno, Isla de Muerta, Ivankiv Raion, Pikitia Ara, Pot Plant, Ragnarok Lynx - Faded story -part 1, Forgotten empire, Time's up PurpleJazz - Frigid Fortress, Galeloch Castle, Solstice, Umbral Thicket Slaz - Cold Paw, Silent Evening, Toyed Badlands Violet CLM - Candy Goth, Tech Tree, TOMB: Another Rabbit's Story Happy voting, and good luck to you all! |

The results are in - thank you for your patience!
Best Battle Level of 2019 Umbral Thicket - PurpleJazz [4.5] Isla De Muerta - Loon [4] The Fingers of Icarus - cooba [3.75] As per usual, the title bout for Best Battle Level tends to get rather heated, and typically ends up with a closely-spaced podium. This year was no exception, but ultimately there was a winner. Thank you very much for your votes! The three winning levels are all on the larger side and therefore well decked out for some party-sized fun. Props to Isla De Muerta for it's elegant layout and intricate visuals, and The Fingers of Icarus offers some enjoyable retro-inspired gameplay with a modern flair and some innovative design choices. Best CTF Level of 2019 Galeloch Castle - PurpleJazz [6.75] Faster-Than-Light Starship - Warren [3.5] Tech Tree - Violet CLM [2.25] JJnet level contest brought us another found of top-notch CTF levels, among a smattering of others released over the course of 2019. I feel truly moved to have another winning level, I cannot express my gratitude enough! Both Galeloch Castle and FTL Starship are available to play now on the JJnet Clan Ladder, and are well worth giving a go if you're interested in playing some CTF competitively. On a different flavor, Tech Tree is a spacious CTF with a unique layout and colorful gimmicks that's sure to be a favorite in JDC! Best SP Release of 2019 Candy Goth - Violet CLM [6.75] Pikitia Ara - Loon [4.25] Tipplenborough - PT32 [1.75] While as I no doubt suspect many of you, myself included are still eagerly awaiting the release of Ozymandius 2, Violet dropped Candy Goth in the meantime, keeping us held over for now. It has what might be the most esoteric theme in a JJ2 level yet, but manages to intrigue and delight with its creative pastel visuals and inventive gameplay set pieces. Pikitia Ara and Tipplenborough are more vanilla by comparison (custom enemies notwithstanding), but represent some of the finest traditional SP gameplay of the year, and offer some very memorable experiences in their own right. I feel like I should also give Faded story part 1 an honorable mention here; despite not making the top 3, it's an enjoyable experience and the ambition of making a full length episode is to be admired. All in all, a strong year for SP! Best Level Script of 2019 Candy Goth - Violet CLM [6.5] Frigid Fortress - PurpleJazz [6] The Fingers of Icarus - cooba [3] A close fought battle, but ultimately Violet's script wizardry shines brightest. Play Candy Goth if you're interested in seeing some of the wonderful things you can do with AngelScript! I'm happy to get the runner up spot; I sacrificed a ton of sleep (and drove myself slightly crazy!) in order to put together a solid boss fight to conclude Holiday Hare '18, and it's good to know that the hard work paid off! The Fingers of Icarus is a nice example of a scripted MP level, utilising it for a cool combination of visual and gameplay elements. Best Eyecandy of 2019 Umbral Thicket - PurpleJazz [4.25] - Seren [2.75] Galeloch Castle - PurpleJazz [2.5] The top 3 in this category all share something in common - they've broken the shackles of the 1.23 tileset limit! Perhaps bigger really is better? I cannot accept this award without first thanking Jess Trideka for drawing the background trees used in Umbral Thicket. Astolfo deserves a special mention for being the JJ2 community's best girl of 2019. Best JCSer of 2019 Loon [9] PurpleJazz [6.5] Violet CLM [2.5] I don't think anyone is really suprised to see Loon take the coveted Best JCSer award this year, considering how thoroughly deserving he is! Loon was an absolute workhorse in 2019, producing numerous top quality levels across the spectrum of gamemodes. Here's hoping he continues his hot streak into 2020; congratulations! I'm honored to claim the runner up prize this year. Well done to Violet for taking third place, showcasing his individual craft like no other. Thank you to everyone who made levels in 2019, and may you continue to produce in 2020 and beyond! If you haven't opened up JCS or MLLE in a while or are new to the scene, perhaps make it your new decade resolution to get your feet wet! Whether you're a mad scientist looking to bestow your twisted creations upon the world, or just want to keep things tried-and-true, new levels of all kinds are welcomed with open arms! |
