Hey hey, guess who's in the spotlight today! Our very own Hunchman801 has shown up on the Rayman account to share a message about the over two decades he's spent as the founder of the Rayman Pirate-Community. :)

Pssh... I always knew he would sell out to the big corpos someday! :roll: :tssk: :hap:

Congrats, Hunch! You really deserved that official acknowledgement! :bigup:
Your legacy has united our passion of Rayman for so many of us throughout the decades and for many more to come! Long live our beloved community! :partyhat:



Hopefully, the Rayman community manager will use this as an opportunity to dwell more upon that "gold mine of Rayman knowledge"!
Not thinking of any "first 3D game" or Electoon-looking "Lums" here :P

Congrats for the official shoutout and for having the opportunity to speak about the community you founded huMch!
The spirit of Rayman is alive and well, so many fangames and mods have been inspired and originated here, as well as discussions and it definitely brought fans together :)

Congratulations humch! :D It's incredible and very well-deserved to see RaymanPC featured, and even RayTunes openly mentioned on the official Rayman account! Very unexpected - it's only been 20 years since I was banned from the official Raymanzone forum for mentioning it there. :lol:
Great picture by the way! And judging from the backdrop, you got to visit Ubisoft's offices. :o

I should hope he put in a good word for Rayman 4 while he was there! :winkgrin:

Jokes aside, congrats on the shoutout Hunch (or Humch, I'm not sure which one I should go with)! It's great to see our little slice of the internet being put in the spotlight by the big cheeses themselves. Long live Rayman, and long live the Pirate-Community! :D

WOW, that post caught me off guard, but it really was something to be expected. I'm glad Hunchman801 got this well deserved spotlight for so many years of work and dedication.

I may not have been very active in recent years in this community, but I'm very happy that this site is still here and that I'm still able to visit it and contribute something to it. So, I give my thanks to humch and everyone else that helped to build this community.

I'm happy to see the pirate-community being officially mentioned.

Indeed, and to think this place all started because you got banned from the original RZ all those years ago. How the turn truly has tabled. Congratulations Humch!

Thanks for the kind words everyone! It is certainly a nice initiative from Ubi to showcase a diverse bunch of members of the community and recognize their contributions. :)

Today's concept art is a sketch of Mr Skops's battle arena. Not shown here is the Arabian-looking palace; I never did understand why that was inside or right outside of the Caves of Skops...

This one is beautiful!

And it's true that the background feels a little bit out of place; this concept art may indicate that it was added at a later stage.
