These are distributed under various episodes which indicate a certain era of time. The game features different themes, from a forest scape to a desert, and futuristic city. The evil genius turtle succeeds and Jazz and Spaz get sucked into a wormhole created by the time machine. The game's premise revolves around the titular character Jazz Jackrabbit, a green rabbit who is set to marry his beloved princess Eva Earlong but the wedding ring is stolen by his nemesis Devan Shell to create a time machine. Jazz Jackrabbit 2 was available on PC and was well-received by both fans and critics alike, becoming a beloved classic in the platformer genre. The game was a sequel to the original game, which was released in 1994. If someone who knows a lot about old-school graphics engines like JJ2's volunteers to take a stab at it, they're welcome to do so - but that hasn't been the case so far.Jazz Jackrabbit 2 is a classic 2D platformer game that was released in 1998 by Epic Games. You should also consider that JJ2+ exists, and adds a ton of new features and fixes to the game, much like the custom doom engines and whatnot.Īlgorithmic rescalers are nice up to a point, and it would be cool to see whether they look any good on JJ2, but plugging them into JJ2's graphics systems is not trivial. The other games you mention all have larger communities or are 3D, which makes them hard to compare. So that leaves commissioning someone to do it, which requires money. But manually redrawing every single sprite frame is a lot of work that also requires some specific skills (which only rarely overlap with programming skills), and the fact of the matter is that it doesn't look like anyone here is willing or able to do it. Well, JJ2+ is a community product into which countless hours of free labour have been put, so I think your analysis is a little off the mark there.
Now, if you say that there is no community for doing things for love to jazz game, well, I acept you argument. Since when a community need money for doing things for a game that they love?įor something it's called "community", the community does thing for love, nostalgy or simply hobby. So, if you tell me that a community need time and money, well, they will have the enough time, and. the same thing with doom, they have doomsday, gzdoom, etc. If you look descent, they have DXX-Rebirth, D2X-XL and some others with a lot of work and time spended. You talk about the cost or money, well, what is the purpose of a community? SECOND: If it were the case that need to make a partial redrawing until complete all the images I know that exist many techniques for scaling with graphical filters that are called "re-scaling of pixel art" If im not wrong, those means that with the source code this is more simple (not very) but viable.įIRST: Not need to make a complete redrawing of every image If source code is released, it would only take some changes to code and a complete rewrite of tiles
