As someone who grew up with Rayman 2, 3, and Arena, it’s so cool to see characters like Ly, Clark, Razoff, and Reflux all will be playable. The new stages look like they are coming along nicely as well.
Thanks for your kind words, that's how I feel about it aswell, and that's why it has to be done. The new Arenas are not finished of course, a lot can change, but as all of the landscapes and textures are from the same golden era of Rayman Games, it blends in together perfectly, UbiSoft just missed out in this timeline hehe. It really seems what lies ahead always was inevitable :D
This looks fantastic. I also played the Rayman Rush version, so if you add alternative skins, give Globox the Globette skin and Dark Globox skin, and give Rayman the classic PS1 Rayman skin and the Ramon trenchcoat and slicked back hair from the Captain Laserhawk anime. Also, you should add the option to enable freeze orb mode in Race mode like Rayman Rush multiplayer.
Thank you so much for doing this, you're a real hero, Rayman Arena is one of my favorite games of all time, was my childhood, I always waited for Ubisoft to make a second part that never came sadly, I really wish you the best with this, hope you can get help for the project to finish it, my best wishes ;) I'll keep an eye for sure to this promising project, you worked really hard on that trailer, imo the best one I've seen in a long time, as an introductory trailer is perfection, keep up with this and good luck!!
Hey, I really know what you mean, Rayman M/Arena was it for me too. I played it up and down, alone, with or against my brother. Usually people would prototype first, concept and then flash out the aesthetics at the end of development, but there is the given formula right in front of us (Rayman M), so for sure it's gonna be a banger. So we start at the very beginning: The Menu. Still working on it in this exact moment. It took a lot more than probably needed time and a handful of attempts to remaster the Menu Level itself only and also keep the classic feeling. And I agree with you so much, Ubisoft is missing out, the game was ahead of it's time, and it's so fulfilling and heart-ripping to work with the original textures, character models, sound effects and all the other assets of the original game, it feels like I am reviving long forgotten puppets and following the pathtraces of the backthen Rayman creators more than 20 years ago, in the golden 3D Rayman Era. Thank you for your wholesome and energizing comment(s), I really appreciate it.
Just amazing, the first game on PS1 was Rayman 2, then I bought the disc and played Rayman Rush with my neighbor for days on end, and then I found out that it is also on PC, called M, with a battle mode (not just racing).. Until now, R2-M-3 in different variations and on different platforms warms the soul, like a good and very intimate memory from childhood
I know what you mean. I hope I can put out a Prototype soon for people to test. My vision is to remix Rayman 2 and 3 locations and characters into the Rayman M formula. Because that game, and Rayman himself, must be one of my best childhood memories regarding gaming aswell. Thanks for your nice comment
It's taking some time. I would like to share more info but I want it to be perfect. Thanks for your loyal interest, Currently working on a Demo Version of the Game for people to test. Will just have 1 Race map, and maybe a battle map, but hey, after UbiSoft sleeping 23 years, it's atleast something. May Polocus Bless you
Rayman M was my very first game. But I will be surprised if this part 2 comes out. I even dreamed about her once and there was that same Elf Li and Black Globox
I know what you mean. I played Rayman M first, then Rayman 3, then Rayman 2, then Rabbids released, and the 3D Era of Rayman ended (too early) Recently I dug up a lot of stuff from my childhood and discovered there was "Rayman" and "Henchman" written all over my school books, lol
I'm hoping the characters will have their own strengths and weaknesses, if that was the case then Clark would have a big hitbox but more hp than the others, for instance.
Thank you so much! Yea so Clarks and hitbox could be a problem We have different solutions 1. his arms are no hitbox at all 2. he might have 6 hp Also imagine him ledgegrabbing in Rise and Shrine. We will have another animation for him if the ledge he is trying to grab is already at his body height. Nice thoughts!
@@Shiftoob And as Shiftoob mentions, "strengths and weaknesses" can be balanced. Already it makes more sense that characters have 1 ability each, which alters their playstyle even more and can compensate for weaknesses.
Thank you 😁 Yes ! And now that I think of it, his unarmed attack could also be really strong... Another question : how will Polokus move for tune animations ? Will you give him any levitation power ? 🤔

Hey yeah Globette will be a palette swap for Globox.
Freeze projectiles in races will come, but in a different way than it was in Rayman Rush

Everything looks so freaking good and smooth 👌
I really appreciate it ❤
Yea to be honest, the Rendering process even brough in some Gitter into the video, but it's not ingame :D

Looks fantastic! M2 menu deep space wormhole themed battle arena connected to Destiny Arena confirmed at 04:04? 404 is a bad omen though 🤔
Yes and even Robo Pirate Ships through wormhole and lots of Globbers through wormholes to Globettes wormhole, wait what?
Rayman M was my very first game. But I will be surprised if this part 2 comes out. I even dreamed about her once and there was that same Elf Li and Black Globox

@@KingEngine97 Agree. In addition to the games listed, I also played Rayman Legends, but it’s really bad that they somehow left 3D games with it
Oh yeah, still looking forward to it 🥴
Takes some time but development has gotten very serious over the last year. Looking forward to post more frequently, thanks
I'm so hyped
Still will be some time but hopefully a DEMO version of M2 in spring 2024
Keep your amazing work, I will be there to play it !@@KingEngine97
Why don't you open a donation account? 😊
I am too focused on the game, I always forget about marketing and all that stuff 😥😂
@@KingEngine97you have a big heart!
Pls i need update 😢❤
Currently I am working on the Menu!
I know what you mean, I will see what Updates I can leak soon
@@KingEngine97 🙂🔥
man, your project looks really cool ! Do you think Clarck's hit box will be a problem ?
I'm hoping the characters will have their own strengths and weaknesses, if that was the case then Clark would have a big hitbox but more hp than the others, for instance.

Another question : how will Polokus move for tune animations ? Will you give him any levitation power ? 🤔
I really wonder aswell. He could use the 4 masks to absord 4 projectiles aswell
Sweet. But what about Globette and Uglette?
Aren't Globette and Uglette the same? Planning on making it a Skin-swap for Globox
@@KingEngine97 oh.
