Future of Future of Jazz: The Blank Edition - June 20th 2008
On page 16 or so of this rather fine establishment of rabbit ramblings everyone seemed content to post nothing more than their thoughts on the future of Jazz which seemed quite interesting since we have a perfectly good forum for that sort of outlet.
Which is precisely why I propose we start doing that sort of thing again. Its quite simple, you type “Future of Jazz” in the title heading and then ramble on about the amazing future in the body. Is it Jazz Jackrabbit VIRTUAL REALITY!? Or maybe a more down to Earth “This community is awesome, I love you guys (i.e. nothing is going to change)” type of journal post?
Does this idea even make sense, and if so does it seem like a good one to resurrect? Would you be willing to participate in an idea I came up with at 5 in the morning? Discuss in the comments.

Duellist Invitational Tournament finally finished! - December 13th 2007
Well, the Duellist Invitational Tournament started at January 31st, when R3ptile played the first match. Almost a whole year later, at December 12th, that same R3ptile lost the final to Vegito, who didn’t lose a single match in the whole tournament. With 40 participants this was probably the largest duel-tournament ever.
The groupstage was quite exciting, but it took ages to finish it. Some players like R3p were quite fast with finishing their duels, while others (most of them were CC’ers ;P) needed months to finish their group matches. The only group to finish all matches was group 8 (Superjazz, Sperry, Dejman and Master Sven). There were 72 duels to be played – 57 were actually played (=79%).
Next up was the knock-out stage. The best two players in each group qualified for this stage. Enigma was added as best 3rd after the withdrawal of Snooze. There was only one walkover (Grytolle didn’t play again after the groupstage) and two forfeits after one or two rounds played. It was Vegito who won the Upper Bracket, only losing one game (in the quarterfinals vs. Sucer).
The Lower Bracket – since we worked with the double elimination system – was a whole different story. None of the first matches was played. 14 duels were supposed to be played, but only 4 were actually played. It was R3ptile, the UB-runner up, who won the Lower Bracket, so he had to play Vegito once again.
That final turned out to be quite exciting. R3ptile picked SBv2 as first level, but lost 2-5. Veg took a 3-0 lead in Medieval Skyscrapers, but R3p surprisingly came back and took the second round with 5 points in a row. The deciding level, The Marshland of Evil, turned out to be a real thriller. Vegito won it 5-4 and became the winner of the Duellist Invitational Tournament.
Well, thank you all for playing, I hope you had fun ;P and maybe see ya in some second edition!

Karrot Shire is coming - December 12th 2007
Many of you have already heard about our current project, Karrot Shire. It is a brand new MORPG-style world built on top of Jazz Jackrabbit 2, with some cool new features that were previously impossible with JJ2, such as an Inventory system, Quests (full epic storyline & additional quests), and skills like woodcutting and mining.
For more information on Karrot Shire, check the JCF thread and the Karrot Shire website. Also, be sure to check out the trailer we’ve made.
There will be a public beta test this Sunday (16 December) at 11:00 AM GMT+1 (Dutch time). We hope you’ll be there!
