Rayman ReDesigner

I'm not a moderator/admin to take any action... but I spy with my little eye someone who double-posted in the same day instead of editing and I want to ask "why?" :hap:
(Yes it's not a good rhyme, but that's besides the point :noel: )

Hi there! :)

I would like to highlight a really well-designed level made by KingCraft. The point is that this level has been designed in the same style as some old Rayman Designer levels. When I played this level, I could feel these Rayman Designer vibes within the level! I really advice you to play it there:

That's looking pretty fun, I'll see if I can find the time to try it out! Thanks for sharing! :)
Feel free to share more of your own levels here again if you ever feel like it, I'm sure many people will love playing them! :wink:


SO... I'm s t i l l working on Dark Legacy ReDesigned when I have the time... and I won't even promise a release for Christmas or New Year because I don't want to disappoint anybody if it goes wrong again :noelnoir:
Crazy that it's late by more than one year when it was meant to be the fastest level to replicate and it could have been done in like a week if I had the free time and motivation (feeling pretty burned out after those years of working in this game's editor :oops2: )... :sad:
You can still play the demo featuring the nearly complete GBC variation in the meanwhile! Thanks for your patience! :chinois:
It's also a bit slow since I must make unique versions for each of the credits sequences since the Pocket PC and Palm OS releases had less pictures for those and they were very different.

In the meanwhile, I've updated Undefeatable Fist with the following improvements:
  • Added Space Mama with the other bosses at the end (I forgot her there in the previous update :oops2: ).
  • Removed some unneccessary collisions for the sky decorations.
  • Updated the readme with a new far better format. :hehe:
I'm planning a quick update for Break Through Metal too...! And I have many other maps to make new versions for, such as all the Rayman GBC ReDesigned ones! :confus:
Also been making some brilliant progress on an old idea of mine and I really like how it's turning out so far :bad:


Something special in the community is also coming pretty soon, and which has the potential to be used as a very handy "ressource" for Rayman ReDesigner and more... 👀
But I can't tell you what it is yet! :hehe:
 
After two years of development, the BIGGEST, L O N G E S T, and HARDEST Rayman ReDesigner level is officially complete. Well, it would be actually less than two years of updates, rather, but now the level is done forever, and won't recive any more updates. Hope you'll like it, and remember: don't get too angry about it if you can't beat it; it's just a game, you don't win or lose anything other than time, keep this always in mind.

Here is the trailer I made for it's final release:

And here is the link to the Rayman Redistributor page of my level:

You can also find and then download the Mr. Stone Colours skin right in the same page and vice versa.

Make sure to download the latest version and read the Readme. To check if you have the latest version or not, just check the files in the main folder; if there are two folders it means it's the latest version, if there is only one it's the outdated version.


This trailer was made in collaboration with Nic, wich also made the tumbnail, the logo and the poster themed that was shown at Rayman Alive 2023, all under my request.

Here is the poster by the way:

So yeah, the level is done forever. And before anyone question it, no; I don't have a thing for Mr. Stone or anything like that, I don't even like Rayman 1 all that much. I just had this idea in mind, fleshed it out, and since people (kinda) liked it I thought: "Ok, I'll complete it, but this is literally the last thing I do, as I have other projects that I want to work on". Any other thing made around it, like the trailer, the poster and the skin were made mostly to promote it.

So yeah, I'm done with ReDesigner, forever. Hope you'll like the resoult of years of pain and struggle, peace.
 
That looks very ambitious and interesting, I sure got caught off guard when I saw a ReDesigner level being revealed during Rayman Alive! Just seeing the txt file with a size of about 13 Mb already says it all about all the efforts that went into this!
I assumed it was going to be a surprise update for the game, while the whole chat was freaking out about it being Rayman Redemption 2! :lol:

Just a small suggestion: You should edit your post to add the Redistributor link to the level directly, or at least its Redistributor code. It's for the sake of convenience when we list levels on the main post, and it'll help the level to get more visibility on Rayman Redistributor. :mrgreen:
Also, nice Mr Stone Rayman skin!

I'm definitely gonna give it a shot later on! :)



As for me... Well, I got nothing to reveal yet, so instead here's a video where I played some cool levels by Ray296 and Dominik Bruehl! :mryellow:


I'm also probably gonna cut some parts from the main post so the shared content is more easily visible. After all, the detailed presentation is kind of pointless now that most of you are already familiar with ReDesigner and now that we have Rayfanpedia! :hehe:
EDIT: Done! It should be faster to get to the usermade content now! :up:
 
It was cool to see a ReDesigner level in Rayman Alive, it makes it feel special! :mrgreen:
This trailer made me want to finally install ReDesigner and play this level! :D

Thanks, and yes, this is probabaly the biggest ReDesigner level ever (in terms of file size, at least).

Yeah, I saw the comments on the live and it was fun to see people so hyped about something they already belived to know what it was, even for how unrealistically it would be; people always have such high expectations. :fou:

Ah... yes, for some reasons I completely forgot to include that both in that post and in the description of my trailer, probabaly because yesterday I didn't have time to do anything. I'll fix it as soon as I can. EDIT: I updated both the post and the description of the trailer to include the link to the Rayman Redistributor page of my level, as well as giving some indications about the level before to even start play it.

Also, nice Mr Stone Rayman skin!

Thanks. I wanted to do a Mr. Stone color palette skin and a small Mr. Stone one, but the last one was impossible to do accurately due to the sprite sizes, and I also had too little time, so I just did the color palette skin in the end.

This trailer made me want to finally install ReDesigner and play this level! :D

Ohhh just wait till you try it and it will eventually make you abbandon Rayman ReDesigner forever :hinhinhin:

So, when are we getting Saturn's playthrough of Mr Stones Armada? :hap:
Click to expand...

Tried it recently and... Well, considering how tough it was to get past the first two levels even after some practice through the editor (to respawn faster on the spots where I struggled the most), most likely never, or else I may never be a sane man ever again. :noel:
It's an absolutely impressive level, but this kind of hardcore challenge is a big no for me. It's just way too unforgiving and expects too much guesswork from you to get through some areas, which only makes it more tedious to retry when you have to get through the parts you already mastered again... It's definitely well-made and has clearly demanded a TON of work, but it just ain't my thing! :oops2:
I can definitely see how it can "make you abandon Rayman ReDesigner forever" after playing it, it's really not a level for beginners or simply anyone who doesn't have godlike skills/patience! :lol:

But if anyone has the will to survive through this level, I can only recommend to push through, because some parts I tested (through the editor :noelnoir: ) will make you feel incredibly hyped and proud to overcome all odds for sure, especially with that kickass Mega Man music!
There's also plenty of good humor too, some fun secrets and a bit of story (though I have no idea how you're even meant to read Mr Dark's final lines with all the INSANITY you have to rush through at the end lol)!
Definitely worth it for anyone looking for extreme challenges like kaizo levels! :mryellow:
Could be added on Rayfanpedia too if we do end up making exceptions for levels other than Ryemanni's! :)


As for me... well... I still got nothing because I have no time... so take another compilation of me playing stuff (except it's all bad attempts because I was broken during both days where I played those :confus: ). This also includes some early tests for my level Undefeatable Fist.


(My proper playthrough of Ryemanni's levels can be watched there:
... and yeah, something about this specific URL was really close from being extremely innapropriate :mefiant: )

Welcome to the RPC! If you want, you can introduce yourself in this topic (ou ici pour le français).
I've just added you and New Dawn to the main post's list, though you'll have to make another post for Ink Swamp (with its link) if you want it to be added to the list as well. :wink:

I didn't realize it was meant to be that hard to complete, but I understand. It didn't look particularly easy in the videos anyway. :oops2:

I search for a Redesigner Discord, the one I used suddenly closed
Especially one which I remember the name beiing something like 'Cave of Skops' :mryellow:

As I didn't find any, I launched my own discord server, you can get it in my signature 8)

Otherwise, now that I'm here I will keep using this forum to share Redesigner things :wink:

Fu fact: the level was not made with the intention being extremely hard, but extremely cool. I just thought "I'm gonna make a coll-as-fuck level", and so I did it. It turned out to be extremely hard conseguentially by all the ideas I came up with while I was making it, since I didn't plan it or conseptualiazed it pr anything like that; I just went with the flow and the ideas came up as I was building the level, but still the priority was always to mkae unique set pieces that would fit the level structure and were distinct enough, so that every single piece of the level would be memorable in one way or another (this wasn't always possible, like in the second section, for exemple, but I did try my best to put all my ideas toghether).

I also think that if the level was easier, it wouldn't have been the same thing, mostly because most of my ideas were fitting for "dynamic" type of gameplay; the type that makes your heart pulse 10000 times in a second and makes you hyped as hell to overcome that part, so maybe that's why the level turned out to be that hard.


(though I have no idea how you're even meant to read Mr Dark's final lines with all the INSANITY you have to rush through at the end lol)!

I was indecided weather or not to add those lines, since I knew no one would have had time to read that with all those Mr. Stones falling and coming from every side of the screen, but I added them anyway in the end because of story context. It's best to just read them in the editor instead of trying to pause while playing to read them, or at least that's what I suggest.

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. That was Nic's doing, it was rellaly nice to work with him; he really has a lot of talent and passion for his work.
 
Hello ( Can someone please move this subject into redesigner? I tried to wright this subject in redesigner but for some reason, it ended here ^^' )

I am now trying to recreate the level I saw a long time ago, I wanted to know if it's normal if my custom song is silent?
I am also trying to find a place where I can download some custom objects, platforms, background and background elements, do you know where I can find these?
I tried to find a similar subject on this forum but I didn't find ^^'

Thanks in advance

( EDIT: nvm, I found out for the music problem ^^ I just had to move the song in the custom folder, but for the custom elements I am still searching ^^ )
