Iunno, but you're sure giving Plejadenwolf a run for his money.

Mr. Dark is Dark Rayman.
Think about it, the blue-ish color, the yellow eyes. He was prolly a failed creation or something. Maybe he consists of Dark Electoons like Rayman, who consists of... Well, pink Electoons. Also he's limbless (I know everyone was limbless in Rayman 1, but we haven't really seen him since) and he's always wearing that cloak and hat to hide his appearance. Wait why did I say this

Hm, maybe just replay Candy Château of Rayman 1 and you'll see that our beloved Dark Rayman is not and hopefully never will be Mr Dark, even if they share some similarities.

Meh, at this point, I feel that anything goes, guess it'd be a bit of a twist to have DarkRay revealed as Mr. Dark. Though in all fairness and honesty, I'd find any revelation of the sort to be underwhelming, I feel that Mr. Dark can and could be built up more in terms of who he is, but completely tearing off the cloak would kill the character for me. I feel it's that air of intrigue and uncertainty (mixed with the completely odd name) that makes Mr. Dark who he is.

Definitely this. The mystery or more specifically his mysterious appearance keeps the character alive as a whole. Every reveal of a whatsoever identity would fundamentally destroy the whole concept of one of the most recognizable badass characters of Rayman history. He may be a shapeshifter like Ales, but I think shapeshifters in Rayman can't take any form they want, just some specific ones. If that weren't the case, Mr Dark could just cloak himself as Betilla or Rayman and that would be very dumb in terms of storytelling and overall authenticity in my opinion.

Ah yes, I was summoned by this out of some the deepest depths of some unholy grave or anything similar to that.

Is there perhaps going to be an update video or even a demo released any time soon?

saerleiya · May 30, 2014

He's not really limbed on this skin. He's just wearing pants.

Did you manage to find a new programmer, Addy? I thought I recalled you running into some problems with your previous one?

Probably not soon.

We have Serza who will likely be joining next year, but she isn't free at the moment. Otherwise, no.

Hi rayfan1978
Do you have a release date for your game
And are you going to sell it to Ubisoft and let them release it for consoles?
Hope you will reply

Non.

I'm certainly not going to sell it to them. Publishing would be great though!

incognito · Jul 13, 2014

Anything new around here ?

PluMGMK · Jul 13, 2014

Just to ask, what publishing arrangement do you have in mind at the moment?

A very hypoothetical one which involves eventually presenting it to Ancel. He's apparently the kind of swell guy you can talk to, and he's the best chance that I have. If he likes it, as Rayman's creative director, there's an incredibly high chance that it could work, especially given that it's not coming out of Ubisoft's paycheque.

incognito · Jul 13, 2014

Hope you will get a lot of money of it Ad.

Imco · Jul 13, 2014

Is there like a summary page with everything so far created with pictures?
From time to time I just love to look at the little pics and videos you post and that would be so much easier than searching page after page on the forum

If you don't I understand, as it'd take some time to create

Anyway, I'm sure I've said it, but best of luck with the project further on!

I think he said something about a website being created soon, so id assume that would have a summary of everything. (Or at-least i think so)
Also @Adsolution I was also wondering if you would like to use any of these models for your project? :oops2:

incognito · Jul 14, 2014

A question Ad, are you planning to make a first person view in the game ? (Like battlestations)

Unfortunately not, yet. Like incognito said, there will be a website.

DandyGuy said:

We want to do everything ourselves (having a few props here ad there outsourced would be inconsistent and out-of-place), however, I really like that R2 prototype soldier, and I might ask you to send it to me soon!

incognito said:

If you mean a 'look mode' like in Rayman 2 and 3, then yes. If you mean to run around in first-person, then no.

Shrooblord · Jul 14, 2014

The soldier's pretty sweet, yeah! Hey Ad, always wondered if you decided for or against my zombie scholar idea in the end?

That sounds like a very damn good idea. I mean, we all don't know what comes after Rayman: Legends (except for Beyond Good & Evil 2) or if there are any Rayman games in the works or either planned. I agree that Ancel is maybe the one you have to talk too and I think possibilities for a good outcome aren't that bad either, provided that you are able to get in contact with him. You have a fantastic looking game, mindblowing concepts and all that kind of stuff that many of the great publishers don't have (anymore). So, at least I hope it won't be that hypothetical though.

There just sitting on my hard drive waiting to be used for something.

Hm, I really like the Pre-Henchman. It always reminds me of that "recycled" level in Rayman 2 from the original canceled prototype in which those guys were featured. Nice job!

DandyGuy · Jul 16, 2014

@Adsolution I understand all in-house with very little out-sourcing. (Id assume anyway)

@Plejadenwolf It is from that recycled level in Rayman 2. :roll:

@ Shrooblord Thanks

saerleiya · Jul 16, 2014

Just to know, did I miss a lot of things in the last past year?

Should read the last 50 pages or so, would help a lot, I guess.
