Rayman - AFG [ALPHA #3]

[lucky3]

Getting ready for christmas

[THEdragon]

Looks like Rayman's trying to get the antitoon and the livingstone into the holiday spirit, but they're not so easily convinced!

[lucky3]

Yup! Hehe
If you wonder how Rayman can fly with this cap: this is a magical cap wich has the ability not to collide with his hair. Simply the very best of technology inside one fan-game. Runs on most computers though.

[gamerz31w]

any further demos?

[lucky3]

Hey, i'll try my best to release something by christmas, but the level won't be finished. Anyway a lot of new things have been added since the first beta release so I guess it'll be interesting to play though.

[lucky3]

As today is my first holliday day, could not resist adding more christmas funky stuff Of course the player can disable/enable it by typing a code in the game console. It's disable by default.



And it's interesting to see how the game has evolved since its earlier state of development! Fist developed under the Blender Game Engine... But it became quickly too buggy so I switched to Unity. But i'm fighting bugs again since the latest Unity update... Hope they'll fix the repeated crashes :-/

[Raymanni]

Looking goood! Keep up the great work!

[Imco]

I second that! This looks amazing, continue please

[Harpic fraîcheur]

Everything is fine. Good job.

[gamerz31w]

Harpic Frasheur please give me back my tings you're not moderator even admin.

[Harpic fraîcheur]

If you want to talk about it send me a pm.

[gamerz31w]

Okay no problem.

ALPHA #2

Ok, thanks to the Unity team who fixed the particle bug i'm able to release a new version with all the fancy particles effects stuff
And special gift: a special glowing santa cap and snow! (see console command below)

-I hope you'll enjoy playing this second alpha as much as I loved creating it! But many things could be better, remember this is work in progress: i feel sorry to mention this is only a first test level that is not finished yet! Sorry, will be frustrating. Take it as it is: a first insight in the final game...
Thanks to all the motivated guys who bring their talent in this project! (the final credits will be included later in the game)

/!\ISSUES/!\

-Avoid changing the texture quality in the option menu because it may lead to random glitches depending on your hardware (textures are messed up and menu buttons may be unusable! If this happens, delete the "save.xml" file in the "rayman_Data" directory. The graphic preferences will be reset to default).

-There are some lighting glitches when testing on my win 7 64 bits laptop. I have no idea why this happens. On my win 7 64bits desktop it's fine.

-In spite of a lot of code rewrite, the camera system is not as good as Rayman 2 or 3. I'm still trying to figure out how to make it better, it turns out to be quite complex to code. As a workaround, you can switch between 3 modes in the Game Options: Semi-Auto, Free, Full Control. Read the tooltips in game for more informations.

-I've experienced some random rayman's animation freeze i can hardly reproduce so it's quite hard to fix, please report it if this happens and explain what happened.
I don't know if my code is buggy or the Unity engine itself (I admit the former is more problable).

-If you find bugs or something broken... please report it, I will try to fix it.


Enjoy!

I'm going to try it right now !

[gamerz31w]

New update?

[Harpic fraîcheur]

Ok, I tried it ! It is just awesome dude !

[gamerz31w]

I see when someone set-up graphics settings it malfuntions a little bit and camera rotating in only one direction.If only Jazz Jackrabbit 3 or MOTHER 3:The Fall of Pig King could exist as betas.It's just what if?

[lucky3]

Thanks Harpic, glad you like!

Gamerz31w, seriously I don't get the meaning of your message. Is this supposed te be random humor? The tings, then "new update", and eventually I don't understand a thing of your last message. The camera rotates both left and right, and you can use "full control" mode to rotate up and down with the mouse. If you get graphic glitches, be more specific. I have no magic power to guess what happened when "someone" tweaked the graphic quality.

[Harpic fraîcheur]

I don't think gamerz is joking, Lucky ...

[lucky3]

Mmmh ok.

Well in the current build the shadows are a little messy, i'll upload a new one with better shadowing soon. [edit] uploading now, should be done by 1h45 [/edit]
