I would like to have only purple lums for now.

Implementing lockjaw and power cans in general is separate issue in development that I would need to overcome somehow. One thing at a time.

Also I would like to refine the usage aspects of superpower cans - you could use them anywhere, as long as you have powder left, and disable power ups at will.

Cans powder you could buy for points at Teensies Stores, find in the hub worlds and levels in chests and gain via killing the enemies.

But if anything, I would opt for having both purple lums and the metal rings that you could swing on only when having blue power can activated.

I suppose both purple lums and flying hooks would look different but behave the same?

Couldn't this system of buying powder for power-ups at a store be detrimental to gameplay if they were required to access the next area (think swing from a hook to cross a chasm or break a door)? I feel that it would significantly break the pace to run out of powder and have to look for the closest Teensie store, and what if you ran out of points too?

We could introduce special variants of superpower cans that would function like in Rayman 3 - so that you cannot collect them from place they are, and you can optionally 'gain' power from them at will when standing next to them.

So essentially I.e. buying much powder for yellow can for instance would allow speedrunning in some sense

Sounds interesting, I can already picture the different speedrunning categories.

The game was renamed again as Rayman: Scepter of Leptys?

Can't say I dislike that name.

Yeah the name has changed because we decided to direct more dark R2-like tone for the game, add more mysticism etc expand on Knaarens thread, Leptys etc

Awesome, I would love to see the game expand on that.

how is planned the construction of the levels, is like Rayman 3 that the levels are a full world in parts, or is planned different?

This kind of reminds of unofficial fangames from Sony Media Molecule’s Dreams PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 exclusive OpenSource Rayman fangame of old Ubisoft indie game from in the past since circa Anno Domini of year of 1990’s.

Considering the title change, I assume the Rayman Scepter of Leptys YouTube channel is the author of this thread.

Here's a teaser and an OST of the ongoing project:





Good luck with the project, I hope you will keep us up to date.

Looking good, I like the atmosphere already.

New preview of our work on this project

Beautiful! Of course the piggibank animation and sound will be needed at some point but I really like those new rings too.

PS: welcome!

Thank you!
Don't worry, we will add sounds in the future!

Welcome to this place Unheard, and thanks for sharing the latest news! I agree that it looks really good. I'm curious about those rings too, it seems as though Rayman can swing from a different distance depending on how far he tethers to them from?

yes he can, though there's lum swinging radius correction implemented, so it eventually collapses to maximal allowed value for given purple lum in the scene for gameplay purposes

Our first devlog video is out on YouTube. It shows history of the project, recent changes we've made and our plans for the future.

Wow, I had no idea this project dated back so far! Progress seems to have really accelerated as of late though, it's looking better and better with each scene!
