x, the everything app

A lot of nice things have happened recently – some a little more distant that have slipped through our radar, and some very fresh. Let’s have a look!

Universal Game Editor (pre-Jazz alpha) discovered

Already discussed in the last newspost, but I felt bad about pushing it down the list – an alpha version of the game engine used by Arjan to create JJ1 has been released! This is an addition to the Dutch article about the development of Jazz Jackrabbit.

Download the alpha here, and also check out the JCF thread for new findings.

New layout for J2O downloads

Notice how the download pages look different now? The more important info now occupies more space, reviews look better (and feature your JCF avatars), we merged reviews and quick reviews into one, and above all, you can now leave a like next to an upload!

As always, thanks Stijn for all your hard work.

JDC 33 awards

The awards for the last this summer’s JDC season have now* been posted! Personally I found this a very fun season, and I hope you did too. If you missed out on JDC, a new season is being planned for the winter – I cannot recommend it nearly enough.

Palette Suite updated to version 4.2

Turns out that every tileset designer’s favorite tool is still being worked on! In the words of AJ, “This should make the process of converting a 24-bit tileset image to an 8-bit JCS-compatible image a little easier”.

Halloween Battle Contest now concluded

The contest I announced on a total whim yielded, to my surprise, four very enjoyable levels! Violet’s (mildly unsettling) entry won, but the competition was pretty tough, and every one of these levels is worth to be added to anyone’s regular Battle level rotation.

Not bad for a month in the life of a dog food website, eh? I hope you’ve all been having fun.
