Rayman Pirate-Community

Thanks for all the comments, people!
It's about time for an update here ( sorry, I mostly update the RZ topic, but now it's offline, I have the time to update here )!

Well, here are some screens ( as you can see, I kinda missed the lighting system, and also, the title has changed! )
Enjoy, I guess! =D

The Menu, now with light effects!

Mr. Dark's lair, the old version, which is soon going to get a big update... I hope.

Yes, Voltie didn't look like he liked all that light when I took that photo...

____________________________________________________________________________________________
And finally, something you've never seen before... swinging with a ring in the dark!


That's all for now. Enjoy ( am I repeating myself? )!

EDIT -> I have some more info I forgot to post here.
- The game now has sound effects, which are a great addition to the game, because they make the game feel better! They are 3D sounds, which means you can hear where they come from ( doesn't mean surround sound though, because I can't let them come from behind or from in front of you - it's a 2D game )! =D
- You can now hang ( or better, slide down slowly ) between two walls, just like in R2 for consoles, or R3 for GBA. There is a bug though...
- As you can see, the ring swing system is done, and there are now tings. The ring swing system also has one bug I don't understand.
- The menu is also implemented into the game now.
- The music is also finally there now, and believe me, I've made a good choice!
- And umm... yeah, well. I dunno. I'll post some more if I remember it.

What I'll be working on next week? Well, fixing the bugs, and adding some secret powers!

nice. what still needs to be done?

Hah, you replied first to both my topics, PC and RTFS XD
What still needs to be done?
A lot, actually. I'll make a list here.
- Making the levels and doing some level-specific coding.
- Making the graphics for the levels.
- Making the enemies, coding them and their AI, and making their graphics ( I have some graphics already though ).
- Making the bosses, coding them and their AI and making their graphics.
- Enhancing the world name system.
- Making the map.
- Adding the secret powers I told you about in the previous post ( 5 powers! ).
- Adding the form-specific powers.
- Adding the buyable powers and power upgrades, like the power to shoot energy balls like in R2 ( with the other fist ).
- Fixing all the bugs.
- Making the cutscenes.
- Adding a bonus game.
- Doing and asking for the remaining voices.
- Adding the rest of the voices and the sound effects.
- And last but not least, adding a secret boss I won't tell anybody about before the release of the game.

I guess that's all... it may not seem like much, but that all could take me a very, very, very long time...

not much?
edit: i might help with the voices if i get a microphone.

I'll be very looking foward for you to release the game Drolpirat.

Thanks! ^^

@ Holy Crap: Yeah, not much, is it? XD
But helping me for some voices would be great! But I don't need normal voices, just Raymanian ( gibberish ).

The Icy Guy looks so wicked and awesome! As a matter of opinion, this is proberly the best screenshot you've posted so far.

Yeah, it's a pretty good one
And um... it's an antitoon

If you need "Raymanian" sounds I suppose you don't need a mic.. Gibberish can be synthesized on the comp; or you could take some existant voice recording and increase/decrease the speed for example o_O

Or add some distortion to it to give it a thrash sound

i know, thus making it very easy.

Drolpiraat wrote: And um... it's an antitoon

Yes, i knew that.

then why did you say icy guy?

Okay, guys and girls, this may not be much news to you, but yesterday evening, I managed to fix a VERY, VERY important bug that didn't allow me to add jump-through platforms ( for multiple characters ) in an easy way and that made the player get stuck when trying to follow a path ( the climbing from hanging path ) when he was between two walls. That was the reason I decided not to get jump-through platforms. I've fixed this just by faking solidness and changing the platformer engine's code a little.
Now, I have decided to make the moving platforms ( like the clouds in the normal R1 ) moving jump-through platforms! =D
So, a lot has been fixed yesterday and today! So... YAY! ^^
But with the update, other bugs have surfaced. I'll simply fix these ( they're easy ) tomorrow.

Bye for now!

Holy Crap wrote:then why did you say icy guy?

Because i sometimes say things like that. Eg, Hoodmonger Officer=Red Hoodlum

but they have red on them. antitoons have nothing to do with ice.

So?

eh, never mind.

Anyway, this is going to be exciting!

Yes, indeed, it is! =D

Anyway, Screenshot Time!


Take this! And that! - Getting fists AND energy balls thrown at you can really hurt.
Oh, and by the way, that pink explosion is the new "getting hit"-effect.
___________________________________________________________________________________
Done already? Sadly, yes. But I've been doing more than just that this weekend, including fixing moving platform bugs.

And for those that are wondering what I still have to do before the next alpha demo, here is a list.
THINGS I STILL HAVE TO DO BEFORE THE NEXT DEMO
- Secret Powers involving lums ( I'll call them... Lum Powers! No, that's not the real name in the game. XD )
- Form Changing ( not just pressing enter, but with something else )
- Form-specific Abilities ( Antitoon will not use his fist, but a Fork to attack ^^ )
- Ladder climbing
- Ceiling climbing
- Two Upgradeable / Buyable Powers ( of which I've almost done the first one -> see screenshot )
- Bug Fixing: Moving Platforms ( oh man, it's full of bugs! )
- Better Grass and leafs ( it looks like a toxic cloud now o_O )
- Cages System ( 5 per level )
- New Areas ( Heart of the World? ) and Better, renewed Areas ( Mr. Dark level )
- 1 complete level ( Again... Heart of the World? )
- A Boss ( and again, Heart of the Wo... No... well, the boss you get to see in the Heart of the World, then. )
- A Demo Cutscene ( No, NOT Heart of the World, but just a short scene with a message like "Thank you for playing the demo! Please keep checking for the final game!" )
- An Online map, possibly? ( There will be 6 of them in the final game )

And voilà, that's all!
Byvar.
