Is IC showing off?
 

Perhaps it is.

Sounds nice, although the screenshots above aren't really that impressive. I've seen better by you. The diamondus one really looks nice though!

gj at making me lol by presenting a file size of +30 MB as something cool

wrong

It looks good so far.

most of the levels on those screens is not done yet ;)
and thx diam is mine

I'd like to use these sets once this is released.

You're more than free to use them once they're released.

It's not like we hold copyright on our works ;) and in this case we simply can't.

I had no idea this was coming! what a great surprise!

gg i lol'd

XLM Summer Pack 2.0
:lol:

horray

hooray
 

good to see some great work here :P

!!!

In my opinion that's an insult ;/

Anyway, I'm not going to talk about August already because there are still a bit less than 7 months to go. Good luck with this anyway.

And you think you're going to impress people with unfinished levels?

Blablabla once again bla
 

It's not only about levels but also tilesets

It looks wicked!!

Is IC showing off? Yep :P
Looks nice

And yes, what a fine copy and paste + hue change they are. It's not like the tilesets you chose to show are particularly interesting, or something we've never seen before.

Come on IC, when I saw you made a thread for this I wasn't expecting "Post in jamster's thread on crack shot up with mad photoshop border skillz" Couldn't you have some videos, a full credits list (since quite frankly, Cooba and Paul are not two names that come to mind when some hipster says name "Name two renowned designers on the scene!") some crew interviews, some jazz ship design that wasn't so god-awfully cliched looking. Hell, maybe some previews of the song remixes so that feature doesn't feel like "Interactive menus!" on a DVD feature list.

It's funny how IC starts a topic with the intent on shocking the community and in return they recieve unsincere 'looks nice but this but that' as well as sarcastic comments and references to elitism.

I am looking forward however, as it would be interesting to see a competent remake of jj1 stylized for jj2. Just keep in mind this year has only started. There are a lot of interesting things on the way, like EvilMike's newest Episode for example.

I will say this: the Jungrock spring flowers look cool.

Why unsincere? I personally expected more than what I saw in the screenshots. The level design in them seemed well-done but resembles most of what you see in the good old badly spelled screenshot thread for upcoming levels, and the tilesets so far seem to me less spectacular than most edits I've seen so far. If anything, I guess IC could work on its self-presentation, because in order to really shock someone, you can't raise their expectations and then disappoint them.


EDIT:
@IC: If the screenshots improve, I might just try to get JJ2 to work somewhere to play this. The part about music sounds especially promising. More info there, please.

Some of the sets could use much better shading and lighting (among other things) to make it appear as if all the tiles belong together.

NICE, really nice.. years ago i had the same idea aswell with the cancelled DRF project... atleast to use the planets again ^^;

IC showing off? Probably, but I guess that's what this forum is meant for.
Some of the material looks pretty good, however I'm not really impressed by everything (the Tube-electric one is pretty plain for example)
Nice to see that you guys are still enthousiastic to provide our community with new stuff.

Oh yeah, would you guys please stop the "anti-XLM"-things? We never did anything to you, it's not helping anyone, and it's not like our groups can be compared either.

Oh yeah? Where should I start from?

Anyways the rivalry between XLM and IC is all good, and we JJ2 players can only enjoy it. :D

That's capitalism, baby!

Kek, JCS forum becomming the new CLanForum? :D Level groups batteling each other?

*flex*

Thanx.:(

Why yes we are.

Better than RHG? Oooh... that will be a good level pack. If it holds up to the claims.

only bigger

I find it sad that a level group would throw an insult at another level group. Not criticising their levels, more the people. Especially when one hasn't done anything to deserve it.
Anyway, pack looks nice so far, although tilesets there mainly catch my eye, (not as much as other things but it still catches my eye ;p) so uhh, good luck? Or something.

this isn't that good to be honest

hehe

yeah the letni one is kinda crap

Diamondus ;0

you definately make levels better then you insult

Uh... back on track...

Anymore screenshots? Maybe more interesting stuff in them? Sorry but unless the tileset rocks, something should be in the screenshot that shows off to us JJ2ers. Anyways, is the music original? Or is it just needed to be included so people can hear it?
