Rayman Pirate-Community

Wanted to start a topic for the fan game I've been working on, featuring Olympia from Rayman Legends!
It's still very much a work in progress, but I wanted to at least give a sneak peek.

The graphic style is in homage to Rayman on the GBC, the only Gameboy game I owned for years. I've also been experimenting combining that with the puppet-like animation style that Origins/Legends uses.
In general, I'm hoping to include inspiration from Rayman games throughout the series.

More updates and concept art to come intermittently, stay tuned!

It's so great. I support you!

Thank you, I appreciate the support!

Here's some character concept sketches I did awhile ago, plus the full enedited picture from my signature.
I still have more paper sketches that I'll turn digital later on

Great sketches, and awesome looking game!

Thank you so much! ^-^
I'm excited to show more of the game

For now, here's a 3d render of Poxy I made by ripping the Mawpaw model from Rayman 3 using Raymap.
I'm animating it for the first devlog, which I'll be posting very soon

Finally finished the first devlog/trailer for the game! You can watch it on Youtube here:

This is very cool, did you animate Poxy yourself is it part of the model?

Oops, another thing I'd meant to watch way sooner!

Very cool, I love the animation and the concept of spicing up the devlog! The juxtaposition of the Mawpaw animations with the whale sounds works really well too!

And thanks for the shoutout, your kind words are really appreciated!

I animated her myself. I ripped the model from Rayman 3 using Raymap, but it was only a mesh. So I had to rig and texture it before I could animate.
Been thinking about experimenting with this on other models for the next video, too. Especially creatures that were cut from the final game, those interest me most for some reason.

You good! I've been meaning to check back here sooner too, life be busy x.x

And thank you, I appreciate it!
That's the sound I imagine Mawpaws make in my head. There's not a ton of info on them to work off of, but that just means I get to be creative.
The things just beyond what you can see and understand in the environment are always some of my favorite parts in Rayman, Mawpaws embody that.

And ye! It makes me happy to know there's a community that shares my obsession (which honestly is what's driving me to make this game), hopefully shoutouts help bring in some fresh faces.

Very cool, I hope to see the next video.
