Perhaps there was a time when we considered doing JJ3, but Epic holds the Jazz Jackrabbit rights and they wanted a ridiculous (-/-)load of money for the character. So, we had to can the idea.
---------------------------------

I don't think you want to know what I posted to them about regarding JJ3, I cursed a lot. Soo this is it. I guess we have to bother Epic now, err now we should put the blame to Epic, I guess.

The filtered word starts with s and involves droppings. Really not a very good PR message, is it?

This is really kind of a disappointing message. First of all, any company that uses a commonly bleeped-out swear word in a message to someone of high school age isn't really completely smart. Second of all, this shows an interesting insight into why JJ3 was cancelled. However, you must remember that Project 3 Interactive was bought by Gathering of Developers (G.O.D. Games) and then G.O.D. went bankrupt, so Project 3 was killed with it. Lost Boys Interactive has shown some interest, but this message's crude tone demonstrates the fact that Project 3 isn't interested.

Yes, well, they probably recognized that they were talking to a highschooler, and tried to be as "cool" on the topic as possible. If that involved using "commonly bleeped-out swear words", then so be it. Anything to retain good public relations. Or something.

Besides, Tublear said that he himself swore a lot in his post to P3, so they simply responded in the same manner, just slightly less vulgar.

There. Two theories to play with.

btw, Krezack: What you say !!

Trafton AT · Sep 8, 2002, 06:39 PM

Well, swearing will just make them less likely to think about it.

Krezack · Sep 8, 2002, 10:28 PM

How are you gentlemen !!

Haze · Sep 9, 2002, 02:44 AM

Yet it is true what they say at P3. Last time I spoke to (name edit) he informed me that Epic wanted around 500.000 dollars for the licensing of a SINGLE character.
So yet again, finances contribute to the death of a possible sequel.

Am I missing some running joke here or is that just random spam?

Not very economical, is it? If you ask for $500,000 you will not sell anything. If they had lowered the price they might have been able to sell it.

Trafton, uhh, AFAIK Project 3 isn't dead. Project 2 is.

*p*c M*g*g*m*s, * h*t* y** <-- Recode that

Trafton AT · Sep 11, 2002, 02:30 PM

DoubleGJ · Sep 12, 2002, 08:24 AM

GOD is off, Project 3 is out, Epic is greedy

$tilettø · Sep 12, 2002, 08:34 AM

Iam Canadian · Sep 13, 2002, 02:07 PM

I'm surprised those guys are allowed to swear. *Snickers like a Simpsons nerd* I sure hope someone got fired for that one! And that "how are you gentlemen" thing is from the All Your Base craze. To continue...

CATS: All your base are belong to us.

It's from a strange, badly-translated Japanese game, called Zero Wing. All the exclamation marks are italics. Don't ask why.

You know what you doing.

Take off every Zig !!

It actually goes like this:

Captain: What happen?
Operator: Somebody set up us the bomb.
Operator: We get signal.
Captain: What!
Operator: Main screen turn on.
Captain: It's You!!
Cats: How are you gentlemen!!
Cats: All your base are belong to us.
Cats: You are on the way to destruction.
Captain: What you say!!
Cats: You have no chance to survive make your time.
Cats: Ha Ha Ha Ha ….
Captain: Take off every "zig."
Captain: You know what you doing.
Captain: Move "zig".
Captain: For great justice.
