How long has CC2 existed? - Eric119 - 08-May-2015
So, just how long has the release of CC2 been delayed? I had always thought that CC2 was created in the late 90s. Yet some news sources seem to say otherwise. This one claims CC2 was finished in 1991:

This would mean that Chuck started working on CC2 almost immediately after the release of CC1.
Compare with the information that was posted on Chips Plus:

This says CC2 was still being developed, and doesn't mention any legal problems or demands for $100K (unless the bit about "show[ing] game companies that there was enough interest to bring out a second version of the game" is an allusion to such things).
Does anyone have any good information on the real timeline of events?

On 23 September 1998, Chuck said in a MSN chat: "I've been working on it for more than a year." So it seems that he started at some point in 1997.

The level design process formally wrapped up in 1999 when the official set of 200 levels was chosen.

Here was the official email announcement sent out in 02 by Chuck saying the game was canceled.

It's a dead link for me.
Edit: Guess it was just a temporary 404. Thanks anyway for the reply, chipster1059.
