The peeps on IRC have been getting an occasional sneak peak at the next installment in the JAD saga. JAD4Ever? No no no! Why it's JAD2.2!
Taking place after JAD2, where you DIDN'T destroy the NTSC Pal, which it go to FRED and swallow him up in a plot hole (I mean you did that, right?), JAD2.2 follows the adventure of Alpha 1 as he battles the hidden demons that FRED sealed away in the darkest parts of his dimension. The BETA TESTERS.
What's that? I'm being told that Alpha 1 is on vacation... Well shucks. I guess we'll have to find someone else then...
In any case, JAD2.2 will be split into two parts (I heard this is the popular thing to do). JAD2.21: YOU ARE (NOT) ALPHA 1, and JAD2.22: YOU CAN (NOT) WIN. Both around 6-ish missions.
Axem, this is starting to sound a whole like an Evangelion parody. Didn't you do that already? Well, kinda... FreeSpace is still my target in this campaign, but Eva provides a backing I can steal borrow from. I mean it's got an actual plot! (The campaign I mean, the jury is still out on Eva) So worry not. Just look at the awesome stuff down below!
Like this earlyish version of the first mission. Stuff has changed since, but that won't stop you ooing and aahing.

Wow, has it been 5 months? Well, FREDding for JAD2.21 has almost finished! Now its just polish time and waiting for the next full bodied release of FS Open and the Media VPs! Here's a preview from an anonymous beta tester!
I thought I'd take this opportunity to tell you all how JAD2.21 will be the
WORST
JAD
EVER.
It's true. Let me tell you why.
1) There's no Alpha 1! He's entirely absent! There's no one to snark about how weird stuff is and there's no straight man to act incredulous when something WACKY HAPPENS. Instead you fly as the complete opposite of Alpha 1. An easily impressionable, fun loving, off the wall trufan. And a girl to boot! (This is what, the 3rd campaign now to star a female? Is there some sort of feminist movement going on at HLP? Maybe they should get back to the Kitchen system, am I right guys?)
2) There's no FRED! He's gone too! Who's going to be super evil and come up with entirely stupid ideas for missions?! Without FRED, Axem had to resort to stealing concepts from other campaigns, like, DISABLE LOTS OF BEAM CANNONS.
(http://lazymodders.fsmods.net/axemart/FreeSpace/Campaigns/JAD/JAD222/beamcannonsss.jpg)
Also no FRED, no disco? How do you call this JAD without disco? Instead all you get are MONSTERS OF THE WEEK MISSION. How are you supposed to get to know any of them in just one mission?
No Alpha 1, no FRED? How could this get any worse?
3) GAMEPLAY GIMMICKS! Unconvinced that standard gameplay is the way of the future, JAD will feature a variety of gameplay gimmicks that are used once and never heard or seen again. Flying to the market? Oh wow, I am engaging in questionable activities with my blinds drawn...
(http://lazymodders.fsmods.net/axemart/FreeSpace/Campaigns/JAD/JAD222/shopping.jpg)
Not to mention the old and tired "color specific weaknesses" gimmick. I thought Freespace was above this!
(http://lazymodders.fsmods.net/axemart/FreeSpace/Campaigns/JAD/JAD222/colorcore.jpg)
4) Does everything need eyes?!
(http://lazymodders.fsmods.net/axemart/FreeSpace/Campaigns/JAD/JAD222/eyes.jpg)
5) No FRED. I know I said it before, but it needs to be stated again. I can't possibly see how this will be any good without all the things we've come to know and love from the original JAD series. I for one will be boycotting this campaign!
-
Hmmm... you know I should really read those before posting them...
-
I still lol'd hard reading it, can't wait to play this. :)
-
Evangelion-JAD both scares and arouses me. :yes:

Congratulations.

Man, look like the new JAD is going to SUCK
Sheesh Axem, get it together!
-
I want tacos.
-
Geez, I last posted in May? Time sure flies.
Have a trailer in the meantime. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCpCKIzzWMY)
-
Did I...did I just see a Ravana firing hearts at me? And...was that a Cardcaptor reference wand and untextured Apollos and giant Rebuild-like cross-shaped explosions and oh god it's beautiful
no words
should have sent a poet
-
Soooooo, I get to fly as Queen Holly..... I wonder if you have a RL crush on a lucky lady named Holly :3 teee-heee..... Cant wait to steal tacos in fso btw.
-
"The fourth Beta Tester is jumping in!"
Something what looks like an energy shield...
Ravana's shooting with hearts...
Another Colossus blowing up....
Some weird spinning logo that fires a purple beam...
The railgun from WoD....
HEART SHIELDS!
A really huge shockwave and a....cross
MADNESS
-
:eek:
I can't wait to play this, it's going to be great I just know it. :D
Plus the hex shields look awesome too.
-
Axem, excellent cutscene usage. And the hearts. And Sakura's staff.
-
Technically said heart shooter is the SD Vassago (http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/SD_Vassago), who's like a Ravana-lite.
-
Can't have a Axem campaign without a Vassago!
Still though, no Alpha 1? Still no FRED?
It's still gonna be a BAD campaign, even though the trailer looks promising.
It's like JAD without all the things that make it JAD!
May pirate it after release, not gonna spend any of my money on this hack job!
-
You mod pirates are the cancer that's killing the FreeSpace community! Get a real job and support your mods by buying the import version, the localized version, the extended import version, the steel book version and all the other merchandise I get made in my basement.

Don't forget the FRED-biography, a bosch and his terrible hobbies

At least, I was kind enough to not lvlshot it.
-
Did JAD lose a 0.01?
edit - axem you failure AT fields are OCTAGONAL
-
I can't make up my mind how to number this. :p At first it was going to be JAD2.22, then I split it into JAD2.21 and 2.22 using 2.2 as a general number to include them.
Also, you can't make a sphere with only octagons! The closest is hexagons with a dash for pentagons! You can't fight geometry.
-
I love it, I have play all the jad series, and I am waiting for this as well, like the effects and the weapons, I have recognized one or two from wod, wow awesome :P
-
Well, it seems that things are moving steadily forward! So I'm gonna go ahead and announce that JAD2.21 will be released on
OCTOBER 7TH 2011.
See you then!
-
So you finally resolved that funding lawsuit with your publisher then?
-
A release date ?
in MAH hlp ?
I give you at least three years late. That's the average.
-
I will hold you to this deadline and if it is missed there will be beatings.
-
October 7th?! What kind of bull is this? We've been waiting for this for years!
Or do you mean to say you'll be playing stuff like Hat Fortress 2 until October 7th. :rolleyes:
Don't think you'll get away with this!
-
Geez Holley, give him a break. No need to be so mean. Though I guess you'll help me with the beatings...?
-
Ah, that's the last day of my midsemester break. Eh, exams can wait.
-
OHMYGOSOMEONEGAVEARELEASEDATEONHLPTHEWORLDISGONNAEND!

JAD2.21 will be released on
OCTOBER 7TH 2019.
See you then!

The title of this thread reminds me irresistably of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rG-13Gdm-XY
I wonder if we can distort the rest of the lyrics to match? :drevil:
