I think that's a great idea but... If it wins to much fame could be dangerous if Ubisoft detects ROTD.

Anyway, a site to post the development news is always a good idea in my opinion.

I wonder how Adsolution is doing. she has been pretty quiet lately. even Pipann tends to be mysterious about the progress of the game. And damn, what an honour it would be to be part of a project like that. I wish I could make concept art for a Rayman game.

Is this still actively developed? If not, this might be the occasion for you to take over.

Ah really? :o I would have been very surprised if it were cancelled, but this is also somewhat startling, given all the work that went into the CryEngine version. What were the reasons for the change?

I don't care about updates.
I just hope that the project is still alive and you guys either.

Absolutely (heh) floored this is still being worked on, unlike every other fan game that ever looked promising. I don't care if it takes until 2030--I have hope that this game will be completed someday, and even endorsed by Michel Ancel himself. It will happen!

I first started learning (non-visual) programming in Unity despite having worked with CryEngine for far longer, and I kept hitting roadblocks when using Cry - I couldn't figure out how to properly generate meshes at runtime, I'd have no idea how to interact with animating character bones for making adaptive animations, and so on.

I'm pretty happy with some of the visuals I'm cranking out of Unity, but the performance isn't nearly as stable... and I'm worried I'll have to sacrifice shading and environmental detail I wouldn't have to in Cry.


I've mostly been focusing on character physics and the adaptive footsteps (notice how the feet height-adapt and stick where they were planted - I'm trying to copy whatever Assassin's Creed looks like it's doing). Rayman being able to smoothly navigate over uneven terrain is a big one too. Almost everything is programmed with a unified state engine I made to be similar to the one used by Rayman 2, and it's actually boosting productivity and creativity big time.

The first area is an actual level I just started on, the second area is a testing graveyard with neglected lighting:

On the art side, Pip's working on a new pipeline consisting of sculpting models with baked normals:

The environments looks impressive, however I don't quite understand the movement that Rayman does with his hands and feet after he jumps.

Animations are still a work in progress. Meanwhile like Ads said I'm experimenting with normal map baking, which involves sculpting extremely high polygon models in Sculptris, sometimes going over 1 million triangles. The low poly version is made in Max and then the highpoly is quite literally "baked" into the lowpoly and turned into a normal map. Results vary, and I have to mess with the red and green values to get it right.

You guys might remember I made rock props before. I plan to make new ones using this technique that will completely replace the old ones. Even without a texture, the first attempt looked 10 times better than our old ones

Also, I'm glad we finally brought updates again. Hehe
