I think the plotline should be about Protecting JJ2 servers and taking out crashers.

But we are building a episode right ? So I agree the "pick and use" style, but doesn't have to be "right"... Every level can start with "A day after yesterday..." and make a story that don't even mention things used before...

Level one: Devan Shell returns.
Level two: Earlong slaps Jazz.
Level two: Spazz and Jazz fight crime at epic to drop the redirection..

you know what i mean

Why go through the hassle of having people sign up if all the episode is going to be is dumb level after dumb level?

While I think the story should be improvised, I'd at least want it to link up with/ make sense when played with/or refered to past levels. Also it should follow a general theme so we know that Jazz, Spaz, and Lori run in certain eniroments that make sense with each other.

Long story short: This episode will 200x better if we did it with flow isntead of Pick and Use

I couldn't agree more. If you decide to make a level in this project, at least take part in the storyline... You can add plot-twists ofcourse, but make em sensible... ;P

I thought we were meant to improvise on the story... Like, stick with the idea, but do whatever you please... Just stay around the 'hacking' theme and it'll be okay.

The creator of the level would think up that. For example, if CrimiClown made the first level, and it started off with Jazz in the middle of a mission to stop a script kiddie, and ended after defeating that script kiddie and Jazz finding a portal to somewhere, the next person would think up where Jazz ended up, say, in the General Jazz Talk forum (this is only an example.)

Maybe Jazz will have to edit some varibles in a Mainframe nside a computer Matrix(We don't have to be Uber-realistic because that'd be boring.*). The tileset could be "Cybernetical World" by Cell, a custom tileset, or Mez. It's really up to you

I never even asserted the notion that the tileset had to be for the whole episode.
I think hacking a mainframe can be done in one level.

A good rule is DX doesn't have to accept anything unless he wants to.

Well then it'd be called "Certain people who meet criteria Episode" and not "Community Episode".


I'd rather go with a form of Birdie's rule where if the level is crap we don't need to add it in.

Yeah, but it depends on exactly how bad something must be to be "crap."

I myself find that most of the uploads on J2O are "crap," especially recently. Considering most of the good level makers seem to have stopped level making (e.g. Blur, since I don't believe he's uploaded a dang thing since last year), we may end up with a "crappy" pack.

So not uploading levels to J2O automatically makes one an inactive level maker?

These sites keep slipping by me, so please stop making me look like an idiot.

Also, he said somewhere else that he wasn't making any more levels.

It wasn't on a forum, and you weren't there, so how would you know?
And why would I visit the JDC site when I have no interest in being so competitive?

Hey all...

I'm sorry about the delay, but my school finals are coming up and stuff and I don't really have the time to be making levels right now... I will still contribute, only at a later moment in this project...

Flip a coin for who can actually start or something...

Its a community episode,everyone should be albe to make a level,no matter how crap it is,unless its something like with 1 tile.
If you want to make a episode with the best jazz2 level makers then go make one,but I just don't think its fair on others who are not good at making levels and not being albe to have a chance being in a COMMUNITY episode.

We never said crap levels, we said total absolute crap, and I'am pretty sure we all know it when we see it.
