Rayman Pirate-Community

I'm mostly of the opinion that anything notable enough is worthy of coverage, regardless of format.

Congratulations on the launch, team!

But it's not up to me alone to decide what should be included or not, so I'll let my "colleagues" express their views on that idea!

That’s good to hear, cuz I have a Rayman audio drama in the works!

The project is titled Rayman Unlimbited!

Hi there!

What a nice idea! I like the purple-look of this wiki, you've been courageous to write all these pages for its launch! I hope the project will continue to grow and help people to find interesting Rayman fanmade stuff. Keep up the good work

Hi, quickly returning to this topic to call for "lost Rayfan media"!
If anyone got archives of lost content from fan creators (such as Ryemanni as he deleted his Twitter account), please share them as that would be very handy for expanding the articles and especially the references!
It can be *anything*! Even simple links of removed content you may have kept would be appreciated!

I'll try to find everything I have too and share it overtime to further enrich Rayfanpedia's contents!

Sorry for the very late reaction, but thanks a lot! We are proud to have worked on this beautiful platform!
We hope it'll grow into a massive high-quality fan encyclopedia over the years!

He deleted his Twitter? I didn't see that coming. Are you looking for specific tweets?

Yes, he decided to move out (a few months before releasing Return to the Spooky Raymansion) due to one of X Twitter's terrible desicions... Don't ask me which one, there are so many in recent years that I can't remember the specific change for the worst.

Instead, he's now on Mastodon, Tumblr and Bluesky. Although he's currently not very active at all on the first two, unlike Bluesky where he's... tweetin-... no... uhm... "blueskying" almost every day? https://www.ryemanni.com/links.html
He has even reuploaded a few pictures there.
Btw, checking his Bluesky for the first time made me realize that Glackum literally stole my custom thumbnail for Return to The Spooky Raymansion


That aside, thank you! I didn't realized his page was archived on the Wayback Machine! Though the captures seem quite incomplete (or just buggy in my case) as I can't get past their first "page" of tweets (and the videos don't work)... But now we should be able to find some of his old pics and source a few tweets in the relevant articles on Rayfanpedia!
For example, I wanted to include the cheat codes suggestions that ended up making it into Rayman Redemption... All I have left from this tweet is my own reply to it:
https://twitter.com/MortamonYapi/status ... 5006617600
So, my "NOSELESS" and "RAYMAN04" somewhat made it in (and "PLUMANIA" could have been an influence for the Glackum one), albeit it was with different effects from my suggestions!

I've already started to bookmark for later use a few specific tweets I managed to reach.
Still waiting for Rayman Redemption on the Commodore 64

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Just a tiny warning regarding Twitter/X reference links on both Rayfanpedia and the RayWiki: X Twitter has just updated its URL to "X.com" (Yes ) and thankfully all old links automatically change to the new one so they didn't break...
This means we don't have to change a thing, but this could create a visual inconsistency between the old links as they appear listed as "twitter.com" while any links added now will be "x.com"... It does not bother me personally, but I don't know what's your position on this.

Brb, imma steal *flatter* many artists' works using that line
JK, It's a quickly thrown together picture assembled from some of my screenshots, and he only used it for that stream announcement (and not its actual thumbnail), so I have absolutely no reason to mind!

On that same topic, I've noticed the screenshot of The Spooky Raymansion 1 which I've made for the noseless_rayman.mp4 video has been used a lot by some people online and especially on the social network named like a porn site Twitter!
Someone used it for their own thumbnail in a YouTube video a few years ago and claimed "they took it from Google", so I guess it was the most easily found "good" picture of Noseless' full appearance at some point before!

Yeah, it's very common for people to take pictures from Google Images without checking the actual source. Happens a lot with RayWiki.

I see there's some "software upgrade" going on RayWiki and Rayfanpedia!
That's why I couldn't reach RayWiki yesterday!

Well, that's a good thing that I know how to retrieve lost data through HxD when a web document stops working and you can't get your text back, because I was about to lose all of my work on the Dark Magician article revision
(Yeah, I'm in the process of making full articles for every boss in Dark Magician's Reign of Terror )

Ah that might explain why image boxes don't seem to be themed correctly.

Yes, the software update broke our theme again, as is always the case... We'll do our best to fix all those visual glitches ASAP.

And sorry Mortamon for the inconvenience, that was bad timing on my part! I actually upgraded RayWiki yesterday but I only took care of Rayfanpedia today since I needed to fix a few bugs first.

The joy of software updates!
And don't worry about our mutual bad timing, I should have known to make regular backups when I happened to add this in said article update:

Due to an oversight, fleeing his battle with the Enter key when later returning to his chase results in the player being sent to the title screen instead of skipping the pursuit, which may result in considerable loss of progression if the player didn't save recently.

Anyway, I changed the featured content on the main page to celebrate the new year, we had Rayman Redemption as a featured article since Rayfanpedia's launch in 2023 after all! (and ReDesigner is celebrating its fourth anniversary this month... already! )
I've also crafted some templates for a few of the biggest games we already had, and many categories!

Nice to see new featured content, even on RayWiki we tend not to change it too often.

I do not know if we have any... special plans... for "today" this year, but I did a few small changes to Rayfanpedia's featured content to make it a lot more attractive and informative!

You can now learn about the Rayman sequel every Rayman fan has been craving for all of their lives!

Perfect!

I think we're going to keep it like this for a bit more time
But of course, I made a few changes to make it sound more factual and make the featured April Fools content explicit.

Here's a screenshot to commemorate the April Fools' Day upgrade!

Well I’m glad something was planned for April Fools’ Day! Even if it was not here! So Rayman exists to steal players’ noses and Globox is actually a monster eh

I did quite a bit of an expansion for the main page with a brand new To Do list like on RayWiki, in preparation for everything we have to do for the many projects that got announced and those already revealed years ago!

There's a lot to do, and we definitely need many more helping hands!
