Finally got to do new renders of the characters with their final designs, and this time i drew them as vectors so they can be resized as much as possible without any quality loss, since these would be used for promo stuff and shit

what the fuck are those level tiles

why are the walls brighter than the floor tiles and why do all the tiles have the same style and level of detail

this is the sort of shit you'd expect from a crappy fangame from 2012 or smth, literally any decent designer would be able to tell it looks like shit

and they (presumably) had to pay that asshat piko interactive for the bit 🤢

tf do you mean they put fucking BIBLE ADVENTURES in high on life 2

this turns a game that takes 1 hour to beat into one that can be completed in less than 10 min btw lmao

i hammer her hole til i clip inside

(Showing the tcrf.net page for Development:Pilotwings.) Maps Test Map "A gigantic map consisting of a whopping 64 tilemaps (TEST-1X.scr - TEST-16X.scr) featuring a big isle with landing fields, ships, houses, and... a message from a ticked developer in the middle of the isle. [...]"

An above view of the aforementioned Test Map, notable for a "Fuck you" written near its middle area.

This is not only about a certain incredible virtual carnival, but also A LOT of indie game fandoms, specially for le whacky and quirky ones

I really, really hope that if my game blows up (which I doubt) I don't have these obsessive, parasocial, moronic and media illiterate manchildren (or actual children) watching every single comment I do and harass me or others because they found a completely insignificant one they didn't like.

oh no they absolutely could, they just don't because they know a lot of their fans are idiots who buy literally anything pokemon releases even tho everyone knows its going to suck

Adventures Of Sonic The Hedgehog

A cel from the Smoking 'Sonic Says' segment, from 'Adventures of Sonic The Hedgehog'.

and (from what i saw) only one of them may be worth a damn

si quieres que una consola venda y sea atractiva para gente que no son fanboys asquerosos necesitas un soporte third party decente

es por eso que la n64 y gc tambien fueron opacadas por sony e incluso microsoft, porque apenas tenian juegos third party potentes, puro juego de nintendo y poco más

y he visto gente defender esto en plan "para que vas a comprar una consola de nintendo para jugar juegos que no son de nintendo?"

hay gente que se compró la ps4 solo para jugar juegos de sony?? o la xbone para jugar solo a juegos de microsoft?

incluso el catálogo, lo mejor de la consola, tenia el problema de que apenas había soporte third party después del primer año, cuando se dieron cuenta de que portear juegos a wii u era un infierno y la consola se la pego, por lo que la wii u solo apelaba a puros nintenderos que solo juegan nintendo

I replaced the previous generic scrolling backgrounds the game used with these much more stylized, bespoke to each room and static backgrounds both to make the tiling process less tedious and add to the Dr. Caligari-esque painted set style I'm going for.

Bon retour parmi nous, Monsieur Rayman! ✨✌️

This one is a personal tribute to the 30th anniversary of the Rayman game, as well as to its original composer, Rémi Gazel, who passed away in 2019 after battling cancer.

Really? I don't remember anything major being missing from it, tho tbf i haven't played it in years since im not really that big a fan of it

And yeah it is a very different game from the original, but for the average player it is the smoother experience, specially if you're new to Rayman 1

I think another reason could be simply that Redemption already exists and its a much more elaborate and better rerelease than this is, with a lot of new content and qol improvements, without anything being removed, and its a free fangame

Note that, unfortunately, I can't make this an option in-game due to engine limitations, but I believe there are programs out there that allow you to put filters on top of games that should make this possible.

Even more tiling shenanigans, but now in black and white!

The game was completely in B&W at one point and while that has changed, I'm still designing all the graphics with B&W in mind, both for accessibility for color blind folks and because it's cool af

they have one of the most beautiful and atmospheric platformer soundtracks ever and they were like "nahhhhh, it needs more kazoos and ukeleles and crappy midis and shit"

did music kill someone at Ubisoft's grandma or smth because WHY TF did they redo the music in all the versions in rayman 30th anniversary and did not include the original osts as an option?? even the CD audio ones

they're not even good remixes either, they put more effort in just to make it worse

more tiling shenanigans

i didn't even realize at first but ofc the thumbnail is AI slop lmfao

no

The main menu of the Taiwanese DVD, with a single render of Jack (from the cover) against a lazy blue Photoshop spray tool background.

The chapter select menu, with a render of Ginger (also from the cover) and small screenshots from the different chapters, many of which are odd and don't do a good job at representing them.

The subtitles menu, with the same Ginger art as the previous images and odd metallic Impact font text for the selections.

Shout out to the menus in the Taiwanese DVD btw, they're truly a work of art.

A scene with the characters from a puppet show in the foreground, while Eddy, Ginger and a robot dog look in the background. Footage is from the Taiwanese DVD.

The same shot, but from the French DVD, which has colors much more saturated, with the puppets' skins turning almost or completely white as a result.

I wanna bring special attention to this shot because its one of the more notable instances of the French DVD looking like total shit compared to the Taiwanese one.

And this is my version, with the French DVD footage.
