Project: Rayman 2D 2

[CheatCat]

Today I begin to make a Rayman fan-game!
The game take place between the first Rayman game and Rayman 2. It should be in 2D and look like the unfinished Rayman 2 2D BETA game.
I have no title for the game yet but you can come with suggestions!
To make the game I will use Microsoft Visual C++ or C# with the library Allegro or CsGL (I think it would be C++ and Allegro).

The game will be open-source and anyone can help me to make the game.

First of all I should make a story. Maybe anyone have any ideas? It should be about an antitoon that want to rule the world but all other antitoons and Mr. Dark is too afraid to help him. Or something like this! xD

Check out my blog, you can see the progress with my game there.

Ah no, not another one copying my game idea!
Still, it's always nice to see another fangame...

[Dimentio]

Rayman: The Lord of the 5 DDs. Basically, the DDs are short for Dimentio Dark (aha ha ha, so put Mr Dark's first name Dimentio if you want ). Anyway, the 5 DDS:
1. Dimentio Dark Disease-a virus that causes brain damage and people to behave strangly.
2. Dimentio Dark chaos-the chaos that is declared by a certain prophecy that will end Rayman's world, or will it?
3. Dimentio Dark Minions-the bad guy minions (duh!).
4. Dimentio Dark Dimension-the dimension that makes Mr Dark/Dimentio Dark turn powers into more powers.
5. Dimentio Dark Book-a dark book that reads the future.

And if you like, show Mr Dark's face, so it shows Dimentio!

Of course, you might not except my idea, including the tittle....

I have an idea for a boss.

We could make a vulcano level with an Dragon like boss....
And we could also make an ice (mountain) level with a Yeti that does a ice breath

First of all I should make a story.

No offence, but it's an error.

It's easier to make a story than to program a game. So program basic engine first, and then think about community.

Just my suggestion.

Okey, I do a basic engine first and then return when I am done. I think I use OpenTK ( http://www.opentk.com ) instead of Allegro because it seems that Allegro only can handle BMP files..

Well, I think to do a Rayman game, not a Dimentio game..

Ah no, not another one copying my game idea!

Sorry, I didn't know that you have the idea... Maybe I should make a other Rayman game instead?

I have an idea for a boss.

Tell me please! Every suggestion is welcome!

Yes it should be a dragon boss! And a Yeti called Mr. Snow!

You can add support for GIFs and PNGs, I believe, and then there is Allegro Grabber file, which seems to compress even BMPs a lot.

Well, I don't really know, maybe I use something really easy. Like AgateLib ( http://agatelib.org )

No, don't drop the idea. It's not like both games are going to be exactly the same.

@ sprialdoor: CUBE, yeah! B) I should have this monster!

The AgateLib was slow. If Allegro is fast I am gonna use that. But I cannot figure out how to install it and use it with VC++..

The big problem is that I can't do the whole game alone. I want a team that can think, do sounds, draw images and other things.. If none want to help me, maybe I can join someone that want to build a Rayman Fan-Game?
But it will be a later question, I can do the basic engine by myself.

[Rsandee]

Ok... well i was gonna do a Rayman 3 2D!!
Lets combine this to a Rayman game with lums instead of Tings and the Rayman 3 suits

[CheatCat]

Like the GBA version? xD Amazing! Good luck!

But I don't think that everyone should make it's own game.. Instead we should look for a big project that everyone can join.

We did. It failed.

Because no one started with it exept you

[spiraldoor]

I had no involvement in it whatsoever.

Yes? What is wrong?

We did. It failed.

Well, I don't know anything about that..
