Well, I'm guessing using CryEngine will speed things up a tad.

On the engine thingy: I have to say that you're quite original.
No really: what mad man would come up with the idea to build a platformer on an engine for a FPS
Oh, and don't do the Rayman and Raygirl having a child thing. It's a beautiful idea, really, but you'll introduce a too big plot hole. Since in the beginning of Rayman 2 Rayman recognises Globox as his friend and now thanks to Rayman Origins we know that Rayman has known him for almost as long as he'll can remember, that means that in Rayman 2 and later the protagonist actually being Rayman's sun just can't be true.
But again, very nice idea.

I think Rayman has enough plotholes that you won't notice it. I'm still keeping my idea.

First of all, I'm not one of those persons who complains about tiny details and that doesn't want you to try new things with Rayman.I think Rayman has enough plotholes that you won't notice it.
But you're going to introduce such a major plothole with your game that it might break the continuity of the entire series.
No really, there are so many reasons why from Rayman Origins until Rayman 3 the character can't have changed. The most prominent being the one I pointed out earlier. Then comes the question: how come he has the same name throughout the entire series? Then explain why we never hear anything about Raymans mother in the rest of the series? Then explain why we never hear anything about the father, the original Rayman, and the rest of the series, because Globox is there and has known that father quite well, it appears? And the list goes on...
If you're going to introduce a game in between series, you must be careful to not break the storylines of the adjoining games.
Of course, It's your game, do whatever you like. Just telling you about my concern.

Good point. But remember, this game is still in a very early stage and Rayfan hasn't actually worked on a cinematic for this moment. So it can be easily adapted ( if wanted ).I'm too paranoid about killing Ray9876's motivation to keep working on this, plus I'm too lazy...

I think you are taking it a bit too serious. It`s a fangame after all, and I like it when fangames do stuff that you would never see in official games.
But to be honest, I also don`t like the idea of rayman having children, but it doesnt bother me at all - as I already said, it`s a fangame.

Well, as long as this will stay a fangame I will not mind it. I will even support it actually! It's a very nice way for Rayman to have a child and to come to the end of his life.I think you are taking it a bit too serious. It`s a fangame after all, and I like it when fangames do stuff that you would never see in official games.
But according to Rayfan's plans, this game might be released into an official part of the series and that's why I can't help but feel that the story of this game should end differently and in a way where Rayman will live on. Because I'm afraid that this game might knock the continuity of the series so hard that it will break down.
Rayfan, I'm really not trying to break you down and to demotivate you from finishing and releasing this game. But please, just keep the rest of the series in mind, so the stories of Rayman 2 and Rayman 3 keep their values.
And as I said, if it were for a fangame with no plans whatsoever of getting released, I would support your idea. Fans can make up any story about Rayman and his world, even if it collides with the storyline of an official game. But I want the official games to be in good alignment with each other.

Ah, ok. But WHUT. As an official game?
Sorry RayFan, I don`t want to sound rude, but that plan is totally unrealistic and it`s extremely unlikely that that will ever happen. Ubi Soft has it`s own plans for the games and they would pretty much never sell a game that was made by fans, especially not if there are new characters in it.
But still, as fangame this game would be totally incredible.

MMMorshew, sorry, this is literally the nineteenth time I've explained this. I'm not some lazy fuck who will be like "oh damn" if they say no over the internet. I will literally do whatever it takes to get this published. There is no way I won't.
