Hi folks!

You wanna know what's going on? Then let me tell you the story of... Rayman!
In Rayman's world, nature and people live together in peace. The Great Protoon provides and maintains the harmony and balance in the world...
... Sorry folks, this appearantly can't last...
One fateful day, the evil Mr. Dark steals the Great Protoon and defeats Betilla the Fairy as she tries to protect it! The Electoons, who used to gravitate around it, lose their natural stability and scatter all over the world!
Troublesome, isn't it? And untidy, too!
In this now unbalanced world, strange phenomena begin to occur... Freaks and hostile characters appear, capturing every Electoon they can find!
They definately need a hero to save them now! Don't ya think?

Rayman to the rescue!
Go, and free all of the Electoons, Rayman, and bring back the Great Protoon from its mysterious kidnapper!
... but will the bad guys let him do it?

Now, a few days later, Rayman hasn't started his adventure yet...
People are even starting to doubt that the Great Protoon will ever come back! Hmmm... maybe we would best send another hero... don't ya think?

And so, Voltie, a mysterious Electoon, must start a dangerous journey to Mr. Dark's Chateau...
... but then again, will the bad guys let him do it?

Information

Yes, it's a game I'm making again, guys.
Anybody renember my old 3D game I cancelled which didn't have the Rayman magic style? Well, I'm redoing it now - but with LOTS of magic style AND 2D ( which is much prettier to look at, because I'm terribly bad at 3D ).
I'm already working on it since March 2007. I have done a great part of the main storyline, some graphics, a lot of coding, and I have all the music. I still need voices though...

This is a screen of the current progress ( 4th of November 2007 ).
If you've played the demo in the news section, you've seen this before. It may look strange, but this is Toon Town. It's all that is left of it after Mr. Dark attacked.

NEWS
- "Electoons!" has changed to "Master of the Dark Sun"!
quote:


In other words, Electoons! is now MotDS.
Unless you know a better title.


- I still need 7 voices for my game!
quote:
Can anybody help me? These are the voices I need:
- Rayman
- Betilla
- Neshae
- Kelvin's Rayian Torch
- Rabbits
- The Teensies
- Miss_Scolex's Ricochette
They don't speak English though. I use [u]RAYMANIAN GIBBERISH[/u] in my game... But don't worry, you can make your own gibberish!
Oh, and soon, I will post the complete storyline for the first level ( The Heart of the World ). That includes the intro and other cutscenes in that level, the level's walkthrough, and... the level's boss battle ^^


- Level & Fancharacters list revealed!
quote:
Here is a list of all the levels, under the list is a little explication for some levels. All levels will most likely have 2/3 areas, like in the original R1.

0 – The Heart of the World
0 – The Jail
1 – The Teensie Plains
2 – The Way to the Camp
3 – To the treetops!
4 – Moskito’s Tree
5 – Allegro Presto
6 – Piano
7 – Saxophono Fortissimo!
8 – Rainy Mountain
9 – Snowy Mountain
10 – Stony Mountain
11 – Right behind you!
12 – The Prickly Pencils!
13 – Mama mia!
14 – The Sinister Sea
15 – Echo!
16 – Eat at Joe’s
17 – Scorpion Soup
18 – The Chateau’s Back Door
19 – The End of Darkness
20 - The Ultimate Test
BONUS – The Top Secret Map World!

In The Teensie Plains also is Toon Town, which is totally destructed by Mr. Dark in the beginning of the storyline.
The camp is a camp of the 'Toon Troopers'... not much to say about that yet.
After defeating Mr. Stone, a volcano erupts underneath you, and... well, that way you get the fire power.
In the level 'Right behind you!' from Picture City, the ending will always be right behind you, but you won't be able to access it so fast...
The Sinister Sea is a swimming level, but then you enter an underwater base for Antitoons, and you have to sneak past them, etc. Then you go to the beach - you can even see that beach on the map on R1, no? - and then you enter the caves of skops.
Candy Chateau's front door is closed, but what about the back door?
And the last level is something about the map - what if the enemies invaded the map screen? O_X

And here's a list of the fancharacters:
!!!SPOILERS!!!
- DDSS1303's Neshae
You will meet Neshae in Mr. Dark's Lair when escaping the prison. You will meet him again when you come back to Dark's Lair, but then he will get crazy and battle you, because he's totally controlled by the caffine Mr. Dark's minions gave him.
- Kelvin12's Ray(man)ian Torch
You will meet the Rayian Torch in the volcano, after defeating Mr. Stone.
- lachimax's Lachimax ( lol, nice name, lachimax )
You will meet Lachimax imprisoned in Mr. Dark's lair. He's huge ( a Knaaren ) and he can defeat monsters, so Mr. Dark's minions imprisoned him. After you free him, you meet him again under the ground of the Teensie plains. That's where the rabbits' "village" is located.
- Secret_Agent_20's Roberi Bunni
You will meet her somewhere in the Dream Forest.
- Slimegirl93's Newton
You will meet him in the rabbits' village, searching for Roberi Bunni.
- Great_Raymanio's Grim
In the rabbits' village, discussing with Newton.
- catmeister's Crazy Bunny
In the rabbits' village.
- suad_199512's L.O.R.P.
In Mr. Dark's lair, there are 3 entrances to 3 different rooms, all under control of Mr. Dark. These actually contain Rayman 2 elements, Rayman 3 elements and R4 elements ( not RRR's, but the original R4's ). L.O.R.P. will be somewhere behind an entrance to a room where the pirates and their ship are being made, but you won't be able to talk to him yet.
- Miss_Scolex's Ricochette
You will see her in various places of the game, trying to hide from trouble, because she's so incredibly lazy.
- Bloodgrey's Bloodgrey ( OMG again!! :shock: )
Somewhere imprisoned in Mr. Dark's lair. As the character looks like a bad person, Toonsie ( temporary name. I don't like Toonsie, actually ) will run away at first, but then he will see Bloodgrey as a friend, and free him. Bloodgrey will then help Toonsie to escape the prison.



- DemoToons Alpha I Released!
quote:
Hey guys! Get ready for a BIG update!
Here is... a playable ( early alpha ) demo for Electoons, called DemoToons Alpha 1!
This zip file includes:
- The main executable
- A Project File ( *.gmk ) for all those who have GM7 registered to look at the project's source code
- All other files need to be extracted in the same directory as the exe/gmk file, otherwise the game will not be able to run.

This is the link you have to click to download this absolutely spectacular game demo!
For the controls, press F1 while the game is running ( menu or ingame ).

FOR THOSE WHO USE GAME MAKER 7:
If you execute the source code, you will probably see an error with an extension package. That's because you don't have the Winskin extension package installed. So download it here: Clicky here!

Remember, as this is a very very early alpha demo, this game does not include very much yet. Real platforming, bosses, etc. aren't included yet. This demo is just for testing purposes ( searching for bugs, etc. ). Example: There is only one enemy, and that enemy is located in Mr Dark's Lair ( but you may see that enemy can actually be hard to defeat ) ( Oh, and mr dark is not an enemy in this demo! Just someone to talk to, who says that YOU ARE DOOMED haha )


Hehe, I have been busy! ^^

Anyways, I wish you luck, Voltie!

The Magician

Why did I make this double post? Because I don't wanna edit the main topic post for this. Sorry.

Well, here are some screens ( as you can see, I kinda missed the lighting system! ) Wink
Enjoy, I guess! =D

The Menu, now with light effects!

____________________________________________________________________________________________
Mr. Dark's lair, the old version, which is soon going to get a big update... I hope.

____________________________________________________________________________________________
Yes, Voltie didn't look like he liked all that light when I took that photo...

____________________________________________________________________________________________
And finally, something you've never seen before... swinging with a ring in the dark!


Also, here's some info for who didn't read the last topic posts before RZ went down:
- The game now has sound effects, which are a great addition to the game, because they make the game feel better! They are 3D sounds, which means you can hear where they come from ( doesn't mean surround sound though, because I can't let them come from behind or from in front of you - it's a 2D game )! =D
- You can now hang ( or better, slide down slowly ) between two walls, just like in R2 for consoles, or R3 for GBA. There was a bug, but while RZ was down, I got it fixed! Finally! Big Grin
- As you can see, the ring swing system is done, and finally, ALL bugs ( in that system ) are fixed. All of them! =D

That's all for now. Enjoy ( am I repeating myself? )!

Wait... If you want to know, here's a list of what still needs to be done, maybe I forgot to include a few things though:
- Making the levels and doing some level-specific coding.
- Making the graphics for the levels.
- Making the enemies, coding them and their AI, and making their graphics ( I have some graphics already though ).
- Making the bosses, coding them and their AI and making their graphics.
- Enhancing the world name system.
- Making the map.
- Adding some secret powers involving lums ( 5 powers! ).
- Adding the form-specific powers.
- Adding the buyable ( with tings ) powers and power upgrades, like the power to shoot energy balls like in R2 ( with the other fist ).
- Fixing all the bugs.
- Making the cutscenes.
- Adding a bonus (mini)game.
- Doing and asking for the remaining voices.
- Adding the rest of the voices and the sound effects.
- And last but not least, adding a secret boss I won't tell anybody about before the release of the game.

I guess that's all... it may not seem like much, but that all could take me a very, very, very long time...

I hope you get your microphone then Wink

Here are some more screens.

Umm... do the words "Energy" and "ball" pop into your mind when watching this?

Ow... where's the fist? Is... is it... yeah! It's blurred! XD

And here's the first screen of Voltie climbing between two walls ( in the testing room, of course ) Wink

That's all for now. Thanks again!

Game's looking pretty cool! Thumbs Up

p.s. Is the Great Protoon in the Town Hall or something in Toon Town? After all, the electoons "gravitate all around it" so it should be the centre of their town. In the R1 intro sequence, the great Protoon is held between two stone hands in a dark cave...that should be in the Toon Town Hall, and you should get to go there and see those empty hands...it would be so sad Sad...but once you finish the game, you get to go back and the Protoon is there again! Big Grin

I have a boss idea for you: the head of Moskito, the body of Mr Stone, the feet of Mr Sax, the hand(holding the rolling pin) of Space Mama and the claw of Mr Skops!Here!

The Great Protoon WAS in the Heart of the World ( and still is, in the beginning of the game ), which is, in my game, pretty close to Toon Town. You can always return to the Heart of the World ( it's a practice area ), and when you return after you've beaten the game, it will be there.

By the way, there's a big update coming soon...

Okay, so the update isn't as big as I thought it would be. That's mainly because I was also working on something else. But it's an update.

I almost finished the swimming system, but there's more. I'll use this update to ask you something...

As you can see, this is a new art style ( doesn't it look absolutely fantastic? ). Do you like it or not? Should I keep this one, or switch back to the old one?
( BTW: As you can see, the background and scenery - and a lot of other things that aren't in this pic - are still in the old style, but that will be changed IF you decide to keep this one! ^^ )

It looks really cleaned up but, in the mid-left of the Protoon (I forgot the name 8B), I can hardly see a thing.

Haha, yeah, they DO look alike! XD
But should I go back to the old art style, or go for this new one? ^^

I think the new art style looks good. Don't go back to the old one, if you ask me. (:

Okay, I opted for the new style, and lookie here, it's a lot better! Take a look at these two screenies I made today and be amazed.

First, an amazing screen.


And then, a little hint in another amazing screen.

Did you get the hint? Smile

Note that the font ( which will get an outline so it is visible in front of everything ) and the ting sprite hasn't changed yet - that'll be done later.
And by the way, the quality of the screens is extremely bad - stupid photobucket - always converting things to jpg and not png...
