How long has CC2 existed?
#1
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.
My CC1 custom levelset, JoshuaBoneLP.dat
My 'Walls of CC1' custom levelset for CC2, JBoneWOCC.zip, containing levels based on the first 28 levels of CC1.
My CC2 misfit levels, JBoneMisfits.zip, containing 4 levels that didn't fit anywhere else.
Designer totals:
15 levels in CCLP3
52 levels in CC2
Public Apology: I'm very, very sorry about HAUNTED CASTLE, ANTARCTICA, and the endings on VENICE and THINKTANK.

It's a dead link for me.

Edit: Guess it was just a temporary 404. Thanks anyway for the reply, chipster1059. Slight smile
