Rayman Pirate-Community

A new update for Rayman Mini has been released, which features Mr Dark, who will offer the player some playable contracts.

It's with great pleasure that I announce the launch of our brand new speedrunning section!

The Rayman series provides runners with a diverse set of games on which they can test their creativity in their attempts to complete them in the fastest way possible, therefore it's no surprise that the Rayman speedrunning community is thriving today, thanks to its active and talented runners but also thanks to all those who support them, whether by building tools or discovering glitches.

In order to provide the community with a great space to share runs, discuss techniques and participate in various events, we are lucky to be assisted by a team of experienced runners who will ensure that we remain on top of the speedrunning game! So far, we have been joined by kronkie10, DarnokPL, markyard44, Lucidruns, Payman, DepressingChild and ScalieDan! Their experience extends across most of the series, from Rayman 1 to Rayman Legends, and even the popular fangame Rayman Redemption. And for those who settle for nothing but perfection, we even have some serious TAS (tool-assisted speedrun) action going on! I must stress that we are still actively recruiting, so if you're an experienced runner interested in moderating this section, by all means please get in touch and let's give the speedrunning community the forum it deserves!

There are things however that no human does better than computers, and that's why our faithful SpeedBot will be posting all the latest runs from speedrun.com in this section, so that you'll never miss an important breakthrough or a crucial leaderboard change!

And of course, a launch would be quite sad without a celebration, that's why we have decided to host a worldwide speedrunning competition with rare Rayman merch for prizes! Surely that's a good enough reason to fire up your games and dust off those speedrunning skills, isn't it?

In the future, we hope to provide you with many more cool events and features, so please stay tuned and let the race begin!

A new fanmade game by Ryemanni has been released, titled Rayman ReDesigner. The game is similar to Rayman Designer, where players can design levels which others can play, but it also contains additional content, such as content from Rayman Redemption.

The Pirate-Community wishes a Happy New Year to all Rayman fans! It's been a strange year, but at least Ubisoft didn't quite forget our limbless hero's 25th anniversary!

The new edition of the Favourite Rayman Games Survey has started. You can find the links to the results of previous editions on the topic here.

Pirate-Community wishes you a merry Christmas! We hope that your plans weren't too affected by the restrictions in place and that you'll enjoy this precious time with your families!

Ubisoft have released a web based mini-game for this festive season, in which Rayman features as one of many playable characters. Lums can be seen celebrating Rayman's 25th anniversary!

I am pleased to announce that the Pirate-Community's Rayman 3 Hall of Fame is once again fully functional, after over a year's hiatus! Now, as before, you can submit your score by entering the "Lums Race" code that the game gives you at the end. If you have finished Rayman 3 and your score is not yet in the Hall, please don't hesitate to submit your code now!

The algorithm for decrypting codes has been reverse-engineered, meaning that the Hall now functions without any reliance on an external service. Thanks to Steo for helping to get it working with codes on platforms other than PC!

After many years in the video game development industry, Michel Ancel has decided to retire.

What could this mean for the Rayman series? Only time will tell.

Thank You RPC for making this possible!

Today, Pirate-Community celebrates its seventeenth birthday. While there hasn't been much Rayman news besides the release of the Rayman Mini spin-off, our community is still thriving, with many discoveries being made regarding the early development and the mechanics of old Rayman games, lots of tools being released to mod them and improve them, as well as partnerships such as the one with Rayman Together on Twitter.

Over the last year, 17,104 messages were posted on the forum, adding to a total of 1,336,695. It's not a lot, but it's still very much alive! Most of our growth was fueled by that of RayWiki, with 424 new articles last year, and a total of 5,728 articles in 8 languages today. Both places are still the reference for Rayman discussions and Rayman knowledge, while RayTunes, with the recent addition of the Rayman Mini, Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 and the official Tonic Trouble soundtracks, as well as new tracks and FLAC versions from various educational and mobile games, is indeed the reference for Rayman music.

Thank you all for your continued support: you made it possible for this community to keep going for seventeen years, and we will keep going for many more.

Long live Rayman, long live Pirate-Community!
