Having actual live brass recordings makes such a massive difference, especially for Band Land. It gives the track so much warmth and life, while still keeping that nostalgic, whimsical atmosphere of the original. I am hyped to hear what you guys did on the Blue Mountains tracks.

Regarding the audio slowing down and cutting off sounds, did you check that your files have the same sample rate and bit depth as the original?

Anyways, keep up the spectacular work. This is easily the most exciting project in the community right now!

I'm not too sure how I feel about this sort of discussion since, well, anyone is free to feel discomfort, dislike, hatred, or however they may feel toward the designs, so maybe some of what I have to say in the matter will sound rude or like an attack. Regardless, I personally like them just because I like how they look. I like their designs. Sure, they're sexy. I still like how they look, outside of just "wow, how sexy". I personally think that reducing each design to just "they're weird and sexy" is more demeaning than anything else. Also, the idea that the gender of the character designer behind them matters at all is kind of more disgusting than anything about the designs themselves could be, in my opinion. Not to sound rude, but... Is that to say that, morally, only women can design sexy women and only men can design sexy men? Just feels really... off.

Speaking personally as someone that was actually pretty young when Rayman Origins came out (like... 10-11 years old), I don't know if the designs are nearly as harmful or weird as everyone makes them out to be? I don't remember feeling much toward them outside of "they're the pretty ladies". I can definitely agree with them not feeling particularly "Rayman" but I also tend to feel that Rayman Origins/Legends don't particularly feel that "Rayman" to me compared to past entries (just my opinion), and whatever "canon" existed for Rayman was completely annihilated by the existence of this game, even before it was changed from literally being Rayman's origins. And yeah, the nymph designs get a ton of lewd fanart with exaggerated proportions and all, but well, this happens to almost any character in almost any media even if they have little to no curves at all (TADC, anyone?).

Really not sure how to feel about it especially since I can’t imagine Barbara being any older than the age of 9 in my head thanks to that juvenile face and missing baby tooth.

Hell you could honestly make a case for the weird boob window some of the sisters have like Ursula for example, didn’t know the secret agent needed to show so much skin lol

I'm... not really sure what to make of this...?
It's one thing to feel weird about the panties thing. But 9 years old...? I always thought the whole point of Barbara was like, two things: 1. Clearly being a nod to Betilla, and 2. Clearly being... well... a barbarian...
You're free to have your interpretations but I'm not sure how anyone can look at a viking lady with (frankly, at least in OG Legends) big tits, a scratched-up helmet, and a big axe, and think that she's a 9 year old because of a missing tooth (Do Rayman characters even have ages?). Furthermore, I don't really think the potential of a random player's interpretation of a character's age would really factor into designing a character. And, even then, the whole bubblisation thing in general seems to have always been a comedic thing more than anything, even if it's very apparent through being on the internet that people indeed find other kinds of enjoyment in it. So I don't personally think much of the panties thing at all.

I'm not really looking to downplay anyone's discomfort or say that it's wrong for you to feel a certain way. I'm just explaining how I see it myself. Objectification of women has always been an important point of conversation in video game discussions but I just don't know if the funny nymphs in Rayman are really a big deal in the grand scheme of things.

My current theory is that the villain is the Magician from Rayman 1, who has been corrupted by the evil magic coming from the orb.
Hence the purple eyes the character has, much like what we see on the dragon & toad bosses.
The corruption is a way for them to explain the personality shift: the character is actually good, and we will turn him back to his original R1 self at the end of the game. The real villain corrupting the Magician and giving him orders through the orb is either Mr Dark or an unknown character to set up the future of the franchise.

As for the dark teensies (including the one from Origins) - they're the corrupted Magician's servants.
The reason why I think the Magician has to be the character from Rayman 1 is because they added Betilla into this story. She has no role in the original Rayman Legends, so why did they add her? The biggest reason I can think of is that she's there as a counterpart for the Magician, who was often depicted alongside her in Rayman 1 and its spinoffs. Maybe she will talk to him and help free him from the corruption?
