The only mods/TC's/whatevers that have been successful and been good enough to be dedicated to by a website was SavageX's mod...SS2?

Some of the failed ones in the past that I remember

Darth Maul TC
A New Hope TC
The Phantom Menace TC
The Empire Strikes Back TC
...man theres gotta be at least 10 more but I can't remember them. None of them ever got released and died.

I'm going to go out and do stuff, like besides work. Call up ben, hang out. Maybe see the last samurai, go skydiving, whatever.
Get back into the gym...
I want to do stuff that prevents me from playin video games so I can only play them a few hours a day, basically.

I never thought the website actually had anything to do with the downfall of the projects, though. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/tongue.gif]

It's because they get to involved in "this is a project! worship us!" and forget that it's a project for a game for fun. This is why we didn't make the website until the devkit was actually done. All that remains is the levels, and the levels made by the original authors (who will judge the submissions later) are already mostly done as well.

So you see, the website thing isn't an issue with us [http://forums.massassi.net/html/biggrin.gif]

I think it would be helpful for people looking to enter the level contest if you were to release a sample level that you've already made. That way we could get an idea of how to design our own levels, in terms of gameplay and what such.
2003-12-07, 3:14 PM #16
We're considering it but don't want anyone to play JKArena before we release the pack. Ya know?

It's an idea we're toying with, so we'll see.

Well... what if you were to remove the cogs? It'd still give people an idea for the "feel" of how a level should be designed, but they couldn't really play JKA in it. Just a thought. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]

I am, or at least attempting to. It's been a while since I've edited JK so I have to relearn JED a little bit.
