Have you ever said to yourself “Man, I have an awesome idea for a boss, but I suck at animating art.” – well, here’s your chance to shine!
Unlike my other contests, the prize is not money, but your boss coming to life – fully animated from scratch!
If you have a lack of trust in contests, don’t worry – I have a good track record in promising contest winners. I got experience in animating sprites with high standards.The deadline is on September the 15th, 2016

Serverlist down for non-JJ2+ players - July 21st 2016
Some of you may have noticed that Jazz Jackrabbit 2’s serverlist – the address you connect to to get the list of online games – is no longer available via list.jazzjackrabbit.com.
This is not a problem if you are using JJ2+, since in that case you’re using another serverlist address which is still available. However, for people still running un-upgraded JJ2 this means that in practice they’ll be unable to play online games.
I have contacted Epic Games to ask whether they would be willing to fix the problem, but it’s a big company and JJ2 is an old game, and I don’t know how well this will work or how long it would take.
I’m mostly writing this newspost to dispel rumours that jazzjackrabbit.com is somehow no longer owned by Epic. It is, they just transferred the registration to a company specialized in managing domains for companies like Epic. So no worries on that front.
Just in time for the new JDC season (which starts today), there's a new JJ2+ release - mostly fixing bugs and adding a few new AngelScript features. Go get it!
