Did I blow your minds? ;p

nobody will tell us that white is white and black is black

White is actually just very light yellow.

Anything new from Ambesoft?

I too was wondering when there was an update , doesn't seem theres been any for 2 months now D;.

Well we're alive and working. We're working on a few new titles,and the jazz project of course. I'm sorry about not being able to update the website, having some problems connecting to the ftp server(the provider is taking care of it) But I thought I'd answer you I do check in on these forums once in a while.

Any more questions feel free to ask.

Can you give us any information on these other titles?

Keep Stoping by the site once in awhile, there will be updates as soon as this ftp problem is fixed.

uh , I don't think that was his question ambersoft. but thanks for telling us what your doing.

What I meant was there will be information about the "titles" with upcoming updates.

Some dude on youtube made a guide on how to get JJ3. If u ever played the gba version of jazz, that's jj3 there.

The GBA version is what we call "Jazz advance". You don't have any clue what this project is about, do you?

i just looked at the video on website and it looks good for a start.... i hope you manage to finish this eventually... even though the website hasnt been updated in months... i still have hope

I wish I did. But ambersoft used to be all at us with updates. The project is falling to dead status soon.

Well, I'm sorry about the missing updates. But We're not at all dead.
Now we're currently working to pay for any 3d/2d art to be made.
this is done by doing some design work, and making some smaller games.

But try to keep an eye up for updates on our websites.

I'm glad to hear that .

Sounds good, I'm not too bad at 2D art if you ever need any help/support .

(I'm also free too ;P)

But try to keep an eye up for updates on our websites.

I've been checking the site out pretty regularly, whilst the game is in very early stages, I'm very hopeful about this game !

Just throwing it out there, I also wouldn't mind doing a little free work for this game in the 2d art department.

wheeee

Thanks for your support, I will be sure to send you an email if your services are needed.

You probably don't have my e-mail, but you should be able to use the one that I used to sign up to your forum .

If not, let me know and I'll PM it to you !

My idea is neither JJ3 nor 1.25.
It's Guns of Jazz Jackrabbit.
Here is what it could include:

MUST be 3D like jj3.
MUST have editor.
MUST have object editor (like jsd in jj2).
Must have dialogs with interaction.
Upper left: Face of rabbit.
Upper right: Name of rabbit.
Center: What he says.
Below: What YOU say HIM.
Tasks and missions with stuff done flags.
Super bonus if you collect ALL coins in WHOLE EPISODE.
Bmp, Tga and Avi textures.
Transparency mask.
Background Layers.
Animated textures.
More animation libraries.
MP3 music reading besides mod plugs.
Single sided 3d objects (so you don't see inside the head).
A large inventory.
4D doors (like carrot shop in jj3).
Graphics like play station three.
Home cooked levels list.
Automatical targeting.
Perfect functionality on windows ME, XP, Vista.
Unr to JGM (jj3 to jjg maps) converter.
Sold in all 6 countries.
You control Eva and Devan.
24 bit tileset textures.
Devan steals your gun.
No silly terms (musting write brackets that not exist on your keyboard.
Tell your own ideas.

I have edited the above post to insert my opinions and ideas. Words of BN are in bold.

MUST be 3D like jj3. I disagree, but many JJ fans would like a 3D game, so fine.
MUST have editor. This is a must, yes.
MUST have object editor (like jsd in jj2). Not really mandatory. Hardly anyone even uses JSD. Still, it would be nice.
Must have dialogs with interaction.
Upper left: Face of rabbit.
Upper right: Name of rabbit.
Center: What he says.
Below: What YOU say HIM. I do not understand what you mean on this line or the lines above it that I didn't comment on.
Tasks and missions with stuff done flags. The English language exploded here; I can't decipher this at all.
Super bonus if you collect ALL coins in WHOLE EPISODE. Neither a horrible idea nor a great idea; why not?
Bmp, Tga and Avi textures. BMP, TGA, and AVI as textures? I can maybe understand BMP and TGA, though the files would be massive. However, using a full-fledged video container as a texture is an awful idea.
Transparency mask. Huh?
Background Layers. You mean like skyboxes? I don't think I understand this either.
Animated textures. Sure. But not AVI files.
More animation libraries. Can't argue with that I guess.
MP3 music reading besides mod plugs. Everyone seems to want this. I personally think it's a bad idea (why we wouldn't use OGG or some other awesometacular format is beyond me), but everyone who's ever made a level wants it, so might as well have that.
Single sided 3d objects (so you don't see inside the head). Wait, wait, wait. You mean like in Doom? That's an awful idea.
A large inventory. Can't argue with this either.
4D doors (like carrot shop in jj3). Fact: JJ3 featured no '4D doors.' I don't know what you mean.
Graphics like play station three. I could talk about how big a joke the PS3 is here, but that would be a waste of time. I assume you mean good graphics, though that's funny since no graphics I've seen on the PS3 were anything that couldn't be done on a PC (or an Xbox 360 for that matter). But sure, good graphics would be nice.
Home cooked levels list. I have to disagree. The way JJ2 handles user-made levels kind of sucks. If there were iTunes-esque methods of organizing the list, I'd change my mind (sort by author, sort by gametype, etc).
Automatical targeting. Awful, awful, awful idea.
Perfect functionality on windows ME, XP, Vista. Replace Windows ME with Windows 2000 and I'd kind of agree. However, the fact that you mentioned no non-Windows operating systems is sad; why not have support for Linux and Mac OS X while you're at it?
Unr to JGM (jj3 to jjg maps) converter. Bad idea. It would be used to convert illegal material so fast that it would make my head hurt.
Sold in all 6 countries. "All 6 countries?" Last I knew, there were more than 6.
You control Eva and Devan. Certainly not mandatory, but it might be fun I guess.
24 bit tileset textures. Why only 24 bit?
Devan steals your gun. ....k
No silly terms (musting write brackets that not exist on your keyboard. This makes no sense. The English language hath exploded once more.
Tell your own ideas.

It does not make sense that you posted ideas for another game (which would never [read: never] be made, by the way) in this topic. Some of these ideas are moderately ok; the rest just don't make sense.

I have one more idea.
This time for improve 3d boss remakes.

Queen:
Queen stomps 2 times at good health, 12 times ad critical health to throw ceiling down.
Avoid it.
When the queen screams, hang upon her shield, or you will have a sad impact with the wall.
She gets tired screaming.
When she's tired, buttstomp her.
When her health is critical, she chases you.
Jump nearby a wall and she'll crash her head there.

Schwartzenguard:
It throws the frailerang.
Get mehind him and shoot him.
He will turn back to see you and the frailerang will hit his head!

Cyber 6.0 (robot)
16 meters tall!
Chases you shooting you electrons.
Shoot him to increase his wrath.
When it's full, he chases you fastly.
Then avoid him and he will crush against the wall.
If he falls off a ledge, he will use his screw to return up.

Uterus
16 eggs protect him.
Shoot the eggs.
When an egg falls, buttstomp it before it returns up.
When there's no eggs, uterus goes in his shield.
Push it in the mincer to break his shell.
Shoot him as he chases you.
When he falls, mince his meat and... ENJOY THE SUSHI!

how "original"

Any recent news on this project?

I hope so I think there should be some nice process now

Well we'll have some pictures of the new game up soon, but there is not much left on the techdemo code at all. So there won't be an update here for awhile.

This is what Ambesoft said before the silence on the forums. Right now they're working on the techdemo.

Hey guys remember this thread. I just wanted to inform everybody that sadly the admin hasn't been on his forum for nearly a month.

I honestly hope this doesn't die and has just hit inactive for a bit. As it has so much going for it.

A true Jazz Jackrabbit game can't be made by someone that leaves after 6 years from his first game.
Epic WON'T create JJ3. And I have got an idea.
Why don't send the JJ ideas to some TRUE publisher, like Electronic Arts, Naughty Dog, Crystal Dynamics or someone else OTHER than Epic?

Because Epic still holds all rights and licenses to the Jazz Jackrabbit franchise. Nothing is possible without them.

A better idea would be to make a new JJ-inspired game.

edit: wait naughty dog? are you for serious?

Yeah man. MEGAMAN NINE IS NOT A TRUE MEGAMAN GAME.

EDIT- JJ-inspired game?

DéjÃ(-) vu

Possum is gonna be awesome, guys. I can hardly wait.

Just an FYI, I'm not actually doing any possum related work. I think I made that Skitch zombie sprite a year ago. Or maybe earlier this year. Or maybe last month.

I just don't even know anymore. All I know was I was joking. Alister was too, I think.
Just wanted to clear that up in case some one actually thought I was actually proposing we redo Skitch.

So, jazz 3d is dead?

guess so.

*cry*

Yeah, it's a sad world


Let's make Spaz 3D instead, maybe he'll survive longer.

lolz.


Who knows. Maybe there will be an update one day. I'm still watching the forums.

I think there wasn't enough support (fan saying omg your awsome and coming up with ideas)

NVM

i don't think it was lack of support. I think something to Erland as nobody even came by to say the project was dad.
