the player is still a box.. wouldn't be much of a viewing sensation..

still would be nice to see how it looks anyway, if you dont want to release it to everyone you can send a screen to me if you want, through pm

Why don't you release this information on your forums? or is it on your website.
Spitting bullets? why does he do that , is it just something like when jazz eats a carrot or says hey comon whats up?

well spitting bullets just means that he can now fire his weapon .. and I will release the info when I have time .. I'm supose to script the game aswell not just sit around awnering posts. so im sorry if I'm some times a bit slow with the updates :P

I prefer normal crosshairs instead of the ones that go onto surfaces of the level. ;\

well I make that a choice in the options ..

Heh, I'm just overjoyed to see someone working on this (and working very fast too, when comparing to other people who have tried) so take your time.

well I'm currently waiting for the jazz model, said to be done this sunday.
I'll upload pics of it in the forum and on the website, so check out the site on sunday, I hope its done till then.

You're doing this for free? :s

hopefully not,
we'll see how things goes.

I think the new model you posted on the website is amazing!

Great work!

good to hear^^

The Jazz model looks great!

glad you like it :P

Two words. Awe. Some. If Epic would see this, they would be Amazed.

yeah we'll see, you know they have seen alot in there days
but its a good model

Wow; that is pretty good. Make sure you do some form of animation on the eyes in the final version; they look kind of like textures here.

Hm.. if you don't mind criticism, I think the tail and headband could use work. The headband is pretty good, but it's kind of level; I'd move the back down a bit. And the tail doesn't look that taily at all.

we don't mind criticism as long as it of any use to the project, we will have animated eyes so the look doesn't look so empty you know.

Hmm... good model. Looks cartooney... that's good! So if I read the forums right, you've got it moving and shooting? If so, good job.

The model looks nice, but please please make it smile ^^
It looks so sad.

Just some small nitpicks on the model:
First, the Backpack flap is a smidge longer, going down to halfway or so, as shown here:

Also, the backpack straps reconnect at the bottom of the backpack, not about halfway as seen in the current model.
Finally on a color note, the backpack straps are red, the armbands are orange(The image shows a yellowish color, and the vid shows red), and the most nit-pickyest of all, Jazz's eyes are blue.

Other than that and what has already been mentioned, it looks great.

Lol ... I'd hate it ... ;p

yeah, it needs a few finishing touches - it will be taken care of it in time

I hope you don't mind a little more input. I've been a longtime user of GameStudio. Good engine for indie development. Fairly easy to use. I've actually seen Axys before and had a chance to hang out with the programmer. He's only 18 if I recall.

Uhm, about getting the rights from Epic, though. I think there are a lot of things that would make this difficult.

Epic is a big company, and Jazz is still one of their greatest past achievements (although on the back burner for the time). If they are going to revive Jazz, they would want to make sure it is a hit. I really wouldn't see them handing off the production to an indie team. They've spent the mass of their attention on projects they had high hopes would be hits. Thats Why for like, 8 years all they've done is make Unreal titles. Now they are working with Microsoft, creating 360 exclusives and such. They are on the spotlight and they've got to look their best. They'd be making sure that anything with the epic logo on it is up to their standards. It would be hard to convince them that you can achieve this without some good proof that their property is in good hands, meeting their standards of quality.

Thats my biggest concern. Not to sound too negative.

so you know David Lancaster ey? The GS engine gets better and better every day.

Rights: There are a lot of things that would make this difficult ofcource.
but we'll work as hard as possible and present them with a demo, remember that toon games are not expected the same graphics as Gears Of War.

Erlend

Rights? Wasn't this a fangame?

I've been reading the archives of this forum and I can see that the list of people who have wanted or "tryed" making this game is long.

And for some reson most of you think that making a game is some thing impossible to the normal human, this is not true one man can make a game it just takes time.

I saw that the problem with the old JJ3 game had problems with finding a publisher, this is not a problem at all you just got to know the right people.

We're not using Epic's Unreal engine so we won't have to pay a billion dollars to publish it.

Well this Isn't all hypotethically speaking, actualy nothing of it is, we have in fact started developing the game.

I don't know if theres already some one else trying to do the same, thought i dubt it.

Well anyways We're in need of your support, well we'll make the game with or with out your support of course, but it would be nice having the community with us on this.

So please back us up, I wasn't too sure about posting this thought but I feel that the people that loves Jazz the most should know.

Regards,
Erlend - ambesoftware *prays he doesnt get gunned down* ^^

Yes jazz is back. oh thankyou the first game i ever played was jazz jackrabbit1 and i loved it. when i heard jazz3d got canned a part of my self died with it. but it's back and i hope it stays. Long live Jazz.

Sorry new to this thing anyway the measage stays the same i love the jazz jackrabbit games. . i hope jazz never scases us like that agean. Hope jazz lives for as long as time goes on. long life jazz jackrabbit

As you mayhave noticed I barely post on forums ;p but these time my couriousity woke up so....I just wondered if there was any possibility to allow any of the characters do "wall walking" or some sort of stunts. That would make it intresting in a multiplayer mode (This just a Suggestion/Question) BTW this game is a so far so good ,and as it seems up to now, it is gonna its gonna end up well so Keep up the good work.

Wall walking ey? hehe, well we have played around with the idea of having the same wall jump as the UT2004 had, but you know we'll see.
We'are still just beginning.

Coolpeanutbutter, Criss Thanks for your support :P

Well maybe I didnt sayit inthecorrect way....but I meant wall run XD

hay man you can't just use jazz you need all three of the posey. they all should be in it. some people liked using spaz and lori.

Relax, they will be there and playeble :P

well thats good you had me wored for a sec
