Rayman Pirate-Community

Mmmmh.... interesting...

The right one look like an unity in "Patapon 2"....

Perhaps you can add a Bloom control option in the final game?

Adsolution wrote:The Protoon is like the 'battery' that powers the Heart of the World. They are separate, and in separate locations, but their powers are interconnected. The reason they're separate is because with the Protoon being stored in a remote, largely unknown location (the Valley, which is an island off the shore of the Glade itself) instead of being kept right where the Heart is, the Heart is completely safe from any kind of direct sabotage. Why this apparently is not the case in Rayman 2 is also explained.

Heh. I have a similar concept except with Polokus and the Great Protoon being interconnected.

Essentially, in order to 100% the game, You'll end up having to go through each level at least two or three times; twice due to the secondary mode, and often three times due to some collectibles not being accessible until you have certain powers and whatnot.

Nice. It's like Super Meatboy's Ultra Hardcore mode then? I approve of the idea.

And now you know why I hate spoilers! Although I must say that a story spoiler and a 'watch-the-entire-game' spoiler are different things. With games, I'd usually play it anyway. With books, films and series, I purposefully forget about them for a while before watching them after learning about a massive spoiler to attempt to forget the spoiler itself. It usually works too.

Gaholy bejeesus! That was fantastic!

Can't wait to read about some more progress!

I'm generally going to avoid too much of that, since bloom is an artistic decision in addition to being one for graphical fidelity. I'll make sure to get a very nice, non-intrusive amount going though.

Perhaps, though it's actually not a stark difficulty thing.

Well, given that I've barely posted any, here's some of Rayman's new footstep sound effects!



I recorded landing, hard-landing, running, walking and strafing sound effects for wood, grass, rock and grain materials. While only the running and landing sound effects with wood, grass and rock are shown here, the others are done but aren't implemented yet. There are roughly 10-20 variations of each sound effect, which is well above the regular 3-5 for most games, to give that extra bit of variety.

green = grass
grey = rock
orange = wood

That's some really nice footstep sounds!

Ah, footstep sounds, a seemingly minor detail, but one that can add a lot more to the immersion.

Really nice! I especially like the footstep sounds, like it was mentioned before.

The grass and wood footsteps were fantastic, but I noticed that his footsteps on rock sound a little like he's running on marble more than rock, though that could just be due to the higher volume levels.

Not trying to be a prick; just trying to help.

Sure thing!

Also, hey, where did Zepto's artwork post go? I was about to comment on it.

It is here, I just deleted it because it was the sketch and then forgot the put the final result oops sorry about that.


Full view.

The way they glow, one with a glorious golden light, the other, with a twisted red...ahh, Zepto, you are awesome.
The lightning in the background also is a nice touch, and the expressions on their faces, determination and resilience on Rayman, and a slight savagery yet refined stance on Dark Ray, marvellous indeed.

By five years, you mean 2014, or 2018?

He meant five years between 2009 ( since it started ) and 2014 wtf

But of course he meant 2018, it won't be done by next year.

Zepto, that's absolutely amazing! I'll make it the banner for the fanart section on the website.

By five years, I mean anywhere between I'm not sure to unpredictable. An extremely rough guess would be 4-6 years from now, but I have no idea.

I hope you will get some more contributors, like how Ubisoft got while progressing with their game development, and so i hope this time will reduce.

I will wait for this game no matter how much time it is needed because I believe in this project and one day I know it will see the light of day.

And when it does, you will hear the happy rayman fans all over the world shedding tears at this amazing game. You will see rayman fans becoming friends with crysis fans, and you'll see them at war later because of an argument about Rayman's limbs.

I'm not trying to motivate you to stop making the game Rayfan9876 please continue

Oh, Cody, please do a runthrough of that entire test course. It looks amazingly fun to run around in. xP
