Rayman Fangame: Mr. Dark’s Last Stand.

[hoodlumsworld]

Do you think this was made for some ability to duck and avoid enemy attacks?

[Ray2005]

I believe so, yeah.

[hoodlumsworld]

It's funny regardless

[Ray2005]

A new render is here! This time of the main man with one of the Animal Buddies, Squawks the Parrot!

I wanted to try using hair particles to make it look nicer, but as this was my first time doing this, it isn’t exactly the greatest. Plus I had to tone the steps down to one on each particle because Blender kept crashing.

Here’s the render!

[hoodlumsworld]

Squawks is so cute and fuzzy, I love this.

[PluMGMK]

Yeah, that's probably the best one yet!

[Ray2005]

UPDATE: GameMaker has become very unusable for me as of late, it’s constantly loading/freezing and it makes it really difficult to get things done. So I made a decision.


I’m moving over to Unity instead. That means a whole new game engine to learn and it’s gonna be…fun.


I don’t know if I can send a project file from Unity to here. Just letting you know.

[CosmicStrider]

Sorry to hear that GameMaker isn't working out, Ray2005. Best of luck in Unity.

[Ray2005]

Thanks. This may take a while since I never used Unity. But hopefully this will give me more opportunities for more stuff, like shadows, lighting, etc.

[hoodlumsworld]

I hear Unity is great so it's perhaps a blessing in disguise.

It definitely is way more useful than GMS2! It’s actually fun to use and coding is actually fun. ^^

[hoodlumsworld]

Fun, and useful!

[Ray2005]

Indeed! ^^

I already got Rayman’s basic movement code down. I’m currently adding his other animations.

[hoodlumsworld]

Awesome! Let us know when it's finished.

[Ray2005]

Awesome! Let us know when it's finished.

I’ll try to get a demo done, right now I’m getting his animations/transitions set up.

-----

I took a break to do other things because I was getting a bit tired. I’ll resume work tomorrow but in the meantime, I’m gonna be re-working on a pallete for Rayman now that his sprites are the appropriate size.


As for the pallete? Well, here’s a small sample.

[CosmicStrider]

I thought unity was a 3D engine, I didn't realize that it could utilize 2D stuff. (Also Rayman probably just looks better with purple eyes, eh?)

Unity can utilize 2D and 3D, actually! It’s definitely a lot more powerful!

As for Rayman’s eyes, you’ll have to see why he has purple eyes…

[hoodlumsworld]

I imagine that if it can do 3D, it can do 2D.

Also curious about the eyes...

I already have the animation done, it’s being used specifically for the final boss.

I’ve decided to redo Reesie’s frames (AGAIN…) by fixing up the palletes on her beret and shoes.

These are gonna be torturous to do again.

[hoodlumsworld]

What was even wrong with these to begin with? Good luck anyway
