Codename: Castle of Cadavers
Hello fellow Jazzers
My debt to the government of Finland is nearly fulfilled (military service, that is) and it's time to think a little bit about the coming months. Since the beginning of 2006 and the release of Twilight Park I've been pondering for options to make more tilesets, but I came up with nothing but ideas I'd like to make reality some day. The military service took my attention away for eight months. Still I had some time to think and make plans. This is what came out of my head and will be my 13th tileset, codename: Castle of Cadavers. To prove something is done, I present you the first Castle of Cadavers plan I drew in the garrison. Plan 1: Direct link Some thoughts on the tileset. - I must point out that this is only the name I intend to use temporarily while shaping the tileset to its final form. My military friend influenced me in this: he was a fond death metal listener Also the contents of the set may and probably will change at least in some degree. So far these listed things reflect my sketches of Castle of Cadavers. - It is a castle of many centuries old - The structures are covered with plants - Has feel of dungeon and eerie ghost house in it - No harsh material anyway, I intend to stay in the comical style - Will have several platform types to walk on - Props will include different kinds of castle stuff and skeletons maybe - In the background there will be a night sky, a fortress or a cemetary - Ground itself on layer 4 will be bricks or dirt. - I head for the tileset release in the summer 2007. - Most importantly, I will be creating a blog where I explain frequently and thoroughly, what is going on in the tileset creation process. I hope this will make the wait for you Jazzer guys more fun and insightful . This blog will launch in the beginning of the summer and it will feature lots of my thoughts said out loud and pictures of the nascent tileset. Expect the news in this thread. So, dear Jazz Jackrabbit 2 players, I will try to do my best and be in the schedule I have made reality in this post. Developments will ensue Update 16th April 2007: Blade Blog begins! Blade Begins

I was just recently thinking, "such a shame Blade disappeared from the community". I like the concept, though the castle/horror theme has been used so much already it will be hard to make something original. I trust you to be capable of it though What I would personally love to see is lots of variations of the skeleton I see in the concept art. Piles of skulls and the like. I've always had a weakness for those things |

Lame, you're good at drawing too.
Sounds cool. Although there are alot of castle tilesets, like Stijn pointed out, it'll be nice to have another one. And needless to say, a new Blade tileset is always worth waiting for.

I hope it will be easier to use than Twilight Park. We need more new tilesets, hopefully this one will be one of those good new tilesets.
It sounds awesome so far. |

Sounds really cool. The drawing looks fantastic.

Something like an expansion tileset to the castle tileset?
It's pretty neat, anyway.

The blog probably launches before the summer, but the tileset creation phase and writing of the blog start approximately in June. This is when my studies end

The Blade tilesets you never saw This post features my tilesets before Aztec. You would think Aztec is antique, but hold on until you see Bay... :P

I am writing this a lot more that I first intended to
The next post shows you the second Castle of Cadaver concept drawing. http://blade-of-finland.blogspot.com...-concepts.html The next blog update will be informed in this same post by editing it. I do this so that this thread does not pop up to the top of JCS forum every few weeks because of my monologue.

Looks like a mix between Chateau and the Cracco vampire set/Monster Bash. There are certainly worse ideas!

Nice tileset. I have a use for it in my next level pack.
Maybe not my next one. Maybe the one after the one after that. (Thieves Conspiracy part 4)

I also have to mention it has a stunning 3D affect in the picture.
Hope it rubs off on the real thing.

Interesting blog entry you have there Blade. Your Eztec tileset is in my memories as one of my all time favorites. And it was nice to read more about it. I haven't tried much of your other tilesets in JCS though, but that doesn't bring down my interest in your new creation!

Hello all, and happy new year '08
Multiple entries have been added to the Blade blog (since that last message in 7th December), and they might be something of interest The entries are still concentrating to what I was doing in August 2007, but hold on, they get more interesting entry by entry http://blade-of-finland.blogspot.com To the current state of Dungeon I dare to say that the tileset release is not far away I will not slow the developing process down now, so close to the completion, I want to see the tileset ready as much as everybody else.. .

A straight quote from the blog entry dated 13th of January 2008. I believe this is something you call good news
