JCS Awards 2022
Another year gone, another round of JCS awards! Now's your chance to honor the best JJ2 creations of the past 365 days!
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 can submit them using the following Google Form, or 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. If you vote using the Google Form, you must confirm with me by sending me a PM or replying to this thread to confirm that you have submitted your votes, else they will be null and void during the final count. This is to prevent people from claiming to be someone else when voting. 4) Voting closes on 19th March 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.

We've got the results!
Best Battle Level of 2022 Asteroid Armada - PurpleJazz [10] Honey Catacombs - Lynx [5.75] Winterfrost Mountains - Dragusela [2.75] Runner up: Lost World - Dragusela Thank you for all of your votes! I feel like I have a lot to owe the JJ2+ developers for making Asteroid Armada possible in the first place, it's been a passion project that I've wanted to do for a really long time, but didn't have the chops to pull off until recently. Well done to the runners up; both Honey Catacombs and Winterfrost Mountains have proven to be palpable hits in the last JDC season, and no doubt will continue to provide plenty of entertaining Battle games in the future! Best CTF Level of 2022 Timberland - Loon [6.75] Halle der Orgelpfeifen - Loon [5.25] Obsidian Cave - PurpleJazz [3] Runners up: Moon Base - Dragusela [2.5], Celestial Temples - Dragusela [1] Double whammy victory for Loon! Timberland and Halle der Orgelpfeifen are two the finest levels to come out in the previous year, and offer some fantastic gameplay presented in delectable packages. Although definitely much less ambitious than Loon's efforts in CTF this year, I'm still thrilled to see that Obsidian Cave has earned some praise. I want to give a personal shoutout to the close runner up Moon Base, which has a fun and interesting layout with a unique theme. It's something well worth your time if you're looking for something different to play a 3vs3 in 2023! Best Single Player Release of 2022 Jazz Jackrabbit 2,5 - The Big Rescue (Part 1) - Sly [9.5] Rainbow Runner - Blade [4.75] Future2055 - Lynx [4.25] Runner up: Nostalgia Pack - abgrenv [2.25] I think it's safe to say that Sly's episode is among the greatest J2O debut releases of all time. JJ2.5 is a fun romp that combines some oldschool design sensibilities with a modern flair, all while packing a humerous story. It's definitely no slouch in the difficulty department, but it's also mostly on the fair side. I sincerely hope that Sly returns in 2023 for Part 2! The example levels for both Rainbow Runner and Future2055 do an amazing job of showcasing their respective tilesets, and go to show that taking the time to put together a well built example level really pays off - they're both highly enjoyable to play in their own right even if you have no intention of using the tilesets yourself. Props to abgrenv's Nostalgia Pack for offering a great vanilla JJ2 experience. Best Eyecandy of 2022 Timberland - Loon [6.7] Rainbow Runner - Blade [4.7] Honey Catacombs - Lynx [3.2] Runners up: Obsidian Cave - PurpleJazz [3], Asteroid Armada - PurpleJazz [2.9], Halle der Orgelpfeifen - Loon [2.1], Moon Base - Dragusela [1.6], Future2055 - Lynx [1.5], Celestial Temples - Dragusela [1.3], Lost World - Dragusela [1] [2.25] There were certainly no shortage of great looking levels in 2022, and this was admittedly a tough category to make definitive voting choices in. Nonetheless, a winner has been declared - Loon's Timberland is a visually stunning level that is guaranteed to leave you in awe with its grandiose scenery and intricate details, all while not being in the least bit distracting from the core gameplay either. Rainbow Runner's example level(s) (in fact, both of them!) are beautiful in their own right and really show off what the tileset can offer to level makers while being visual treats themselves. Honey Catacombs meanwhile is probably 2022's most visually creative level, combining various tilesets along with some new tiles to pull off a theme that has seldom been explored in JJ2 to date. Best Tileset of 2022 Rainbow Runner - Blade [11.5] Future2055 - Lynx [7] Timberland - Loon [2.25] Runner up: Grassy Hills - DennisKainz [1] Any year with a new Blade tileset is a great year in my book! Blade's 15th tileset was absolutely no disappointment, and once again cements his legacy as one of JJ2's legendary tileset makers. I'm really excited to see what levels come out of this tileset in 2023; while being perhaps the perfect tileset to celebrate Pride 🌈, it's also an excellent choice for those looking to make pastel cloudscapes, or simply something delightfully twee! Future2055 is a worthy runner up, having a well realised theme that would lend itself well to a large variety of levels, such as the spiritual successor to Distopia[sic] perhaps? Well done also to Loon for managing to take Diamondus in a whole new direction, while doing the impossible and finally making Inferno tile! Best JCSer of 2022 Loon [7.25] PurpleJazz [5.25] Blade [3.5] Dragusela [3.5] Runners up: Lynx [1], Sly [1] Despite only releasing two levels in 2022, I believe Loon to be a highly worthy winner. Timberland in particular is an absolute masterpiece that represents the current zenith of JJ2 level making. However, I'm still convinced that Loon has even better things to offer in 2023, especially given all of the new exciting JJ2+ developments - I can't wait to see what he comes up with next! Thank you so much for making me your runner up, I really hope that I can continue to bring you a steady supply of new levels in 2023. Well done to both Blade and Dragusela for taking the joint third place! I have high hopes for both of your future endeavours in 2023 in beyond. I think Lynx and Sly also deserve special mentions for their creative efforts in the year. Here's to a great 2023! |
