2/20/99 - 10:14 - jcs.ref competition

jcs.ref is back at it.. they're doing the Try Me Competition, and it looks great. The first "event" consists of 1-15 points towards your final score, and multiple tasks that you must complete... these tasks are not easy... at all. For example, creating a level that is innovative, and only uses events, or creating a level that makes you look like you're falling when standing still.. (and moving upward when falling). This is a true test of JCS skills... and if you want to show everyone that you're the best at the intricate works of JCS, this is the place to do it. Also, first place prize is either a copy of the famed Jazz Jackrabbit 2: Secret Files (when it's out), or a nice check of $$. =) You don't want to miss this... the deadline is February 28, so you better hurry up!

2/20/99 - 10:14 - Game Based on JJ2 Engine!

Orion Software Systems has recently liscensed the Jazz Jackrabbit 2 engine... and they're working on an RPG, based on this engine. A sidescrolling RPG... now that sounds awesome. The good news is, if you're a good artist or musician, you stand to do some work for them. Right now they need help... they can't promise any money, but personally I wouldn't care one way or the other =) Click here to read the thread on the JMMB.

2/17/99 - 12:54 - The Dopefish...

I just received the following news and picture from Ice Wolf EE. Perhaps Spaz didn't eat the dopefish afterall... :)



"I ate the Dopefish. It is a sad fact, but I framed spaz. One day I woke up, and I was really hungry but I could not find ant food, so I went, got the dopefish, and ate him (later I found that we had some Coco pops in the cupboard, but of course I hadn't seen them at the time. I have photos to prove this. A cop came 'round to my house the next day, knocked on my door and said, "DID YOU EAT THE DOPE FISH?" I said "No, Spaz did". So Spaz got taken to court on acount of eating dopefishes, and I got away free. I had to tell you this because I have been feeling guillty about it ever since it happend. My appolagies to spaz." - Ice Wolf EE

2/17/99 - 12:54 - Loony Jazz

I got word from PaG that loonygames posted an interview with Cliff Bleszinski, and talks about both Jazz 2 and Unreal... then Dean told me they also posted a look at the intro cinematic of JJ2... both are really cool. =) However, there is proficient language in loonygames, so some people may not wish to visit.

The way cool animation thingy:

2/15/99 - 10:51 - New Poll

A solid 178 people voted on last poll, and the results look promising.

If you have the money, will you buy JJ2's add-on: The Secret Files?

Yeah, it looks awesome! (115) -65%-
No.. not worth my $$. (10) -6%-
Not sure... gonna wait 'til it's out. (53) -30%-

Apparently a lot of the people will buy the new add-on, and hardly any people say no. However, there are still 30% of the people who remain undecided: a factor that could go either way. Also, Jazz Central (jazzcentral.net) had a poll almost exactly the same... I'm not sure when they are ending theirs, but it started before ours, and hasn't ended yet. Currently, they've had 107 votes; multiple votes per person is functional. The current results:

Will You Buy Jazz Jackrabbit 2: The Secret Files?

Yes (105) -98%-
No (2) -2%-

And it appears J2C and JC aren't the only ones running this poll. Jazz 2 Stuff, the "different" site, has actually done something.. that other people have =) They are also running a poll on if you will buy the Secret Files or not... except Steven worded his answers a little better ;-)

Now.. finally... the new poll. The new poll asks if you like the new JMMB layout....... Vote today =)

2/15/99 - 10:47 - JMMB Layout

The JMMB has gone through a complete overhaul... and there are mixed feelings about the new look. While the majority seem to either not care, or like it, there are actually quite a few people who complain of color bleeding. All the graphics on the JMMB have been updated, including the smiley faces. Click here to check it out.
