Jak 1 100% completed now! I already have the platinum for this game on PS3, Vita and PS4, and now I do for PS5 as well. Funny how this game is on basically every PlayStation console now haha But yeah, was a lot of fun to replay it. Got a few headaches, but nothing all too bad.

The account I started last year for reposting Rayman's tweets has now transitioned to an official account! 😄 I'm really glad to see Rayman having an official presence here on bsky now, as my original goal was to allow fans who had left other social media platforms to follow along with their posts!

I was wondering why the screen seemed so much more cramped than I remembered. Seems 16:9 in the PS5 version crops the sides instead of extending it. 4:3 it is then!

I discovered an early version of the Eat at Joe's darkness effect in one of the earliest Rayman 1 PS1 demos (demo from Japanese DemoDemo vol. 6). I quite prefer this version to the final one since here you can actually see the entire screen, even if it's darkened. #rayman

That moment when you forget a game has fall damage

I finished my thread with the last two worlds now!

For those who'd like to hear my thoughts on the #rayman 30th Anniversary Edition I now left a review of it on Steam. I tried to make it as short as I could but it still ended up really long 😅 steamcommunity.com/id/RayCarrot...

Added Picture City to my Jaguar playthrough thread now

Added Blue Mountains to my Jaguar playthrough thread now

Added Band Land to my Jaguar playthrough thread now

Surprisingly enough I've never actually beaten the Jaguar version of #rayman before (I've played almost every other version), so with the 30th Anniversary Edition I now finally decided to do so! I'll make this a thread, posting stuff from my playthrough in chunks for each world as I play them.

If you open the Rayman Control Panel today there's a small April Fool's surprise waiting 👀

Played some Celeste on my Switch now and, well, got a headache, although not nearly as bad of one as from Zelda, and I played Celeste for a longer period of time. It's all rather confusing though, cause not all games work for me on PC either (like Ratchet Rift Apart gave me a headache there).

Nearly 400 deaths later and I now finally got the Moon Berry in #Celeste, making it a true 100% completion 😄 ...well, if you don't count the golden strawberries, but uh, we don't count those :p

Seeing all the hype for the new Mario movie made me remember I still haven't watched the first one. I really should get to it since I believe it's on streaming now.

I did try playing some more Zelda Echoes of Wisdom on my Switch a few days ago and got another bad headache after just 10 minutes. I'm unsure if it's the Switch itself or the game, so I think what I'll try some day soon is to play Celeste on my Switch (since that works for me on my computer...)

WOHOOO! I beat Farewell now 🥳 I'm so happy to finally have done this 😄 It wasn't quite as bad as I thought, although you can tell by the death count that it sure wasn't easy lol

It seems the Japanese PS1 version of Rayman 1 is the version that just keeps on giving! Now I found an unused debug menu for the sounds. You can play any of the game's sound effects and even change the MIDI parameters! The controls are a bit confusing, but it seems to all work. #rayman

I didn't think I would, but I've been grinding through the Farewell chapter in Celeste now and actually made it to the final screen this time! Looking forward to beating it...!

I found some more unused content in the Japanese PS1 version of Rayman 1. This time an intro sequence which uses slides like on Jaguar. The text isn't fully implemented and I had to patch the code for it to even display. But the slides themselves work and are timed to the audio. #rayman

I found an unused victory sequence in the Japanese PS1 version. It's similar to what appears in the Sega Saturn version, but here it uses the same background effect as when you finish a bonus level! #rayman

The nicest article about JPEG compression, by @sophielwang.bsky.social The moment there are color stats involved, I’m in. It’s so well done it makes me think we need some kind of online library where articles like this get preserved. www.sophielwang.com/blog/jpeg

As I continue to try and play some games again I now (finally) checked out the demo for Connie and the Essence of Chaos by @ryemanni.com! I absolutely loved it and can't wait for the full release 😄 Also gotta love the carrots everywhere haha

I've released a new Rayman Control Panel update now, adding support for the newly released Rayman 30th Anniversary Edition, as well as Atari Jaguar & GameCube games! RCP now also (optionally) supports Discord Rich Presence, which can show which Rayman game you're currently playing. #rayman

Just finished my new (fourth?) playthrough of Celeste 😄 Somehow this game hasn't given me as many headaches, so been able to play this on and off the past few weeks! Some day I should also try beating the Farewell chapter...

In the Rayman 30th Anniversary Edition there are 2 levels in Rayman by his Fans which you can't access. It simply says "Level not available". We didn't really understand why, until today (cont.) #rayman

Adding a video of the pure chaos it can cause hahaha, this was hella funny (tho quite a bit long to setup without stuff to speed it up)

In Rayman Advance (and on DSi) there's a bug where you can make Skops disappear, or even crash the game...! I'll explain below how it works. As it turns out there's quite a lot at play here! #rayman

A week ago, it was considered impossible to beat #Rayman GBC 100% without revisiting levels. This is because some cages require powerups you get later in the game. After some stratfinding by @supersqank.bsky.social & myself, the run is now hard, but possible! www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Ht2...

Out of curiosity I decided to check what emulators the 30th Anniversary Edition uses since I've seen a lot of misinformation about it (no it doesn't use RetroArch 😛) SNES: Mednafen (snes_faust) GBC: sameboy GBA: mGBA Jaguar: BigPEmu MS-DOS: DREAMM PS1: Pancake #rayman

With more people having experienced the Jaguar version of Rayman 1 I thought it'd be a good time to discuss a bug from the game. It's pretty easy to trigger; just enter a level, get a new life from 100 tings and then exit. Now your life count has been reset to 0 😲 Explanation below ⬇️ #rayman

That moment when you realize you forgot to update the code comment to match the code 😅

Rayman 30th Anniversary Edition has the larger Rayman sprites in their original resolution and colors but they're unused! (Some are duplicated or have different color palettes.) I believe some of these were in those educational PC games but they had less colors..? 🤔

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. #watercolors #watercolours #rayman30thanniversaryedition #rayman

To anyone who dislikes the new music: please check out the new Jaguar and GBA tracks! They're actually really good imo, and don't have all the new unfitting instruments like the kazoo etc. Even the new tracks they had to make sound a bit better here to me. I put together some samples: #rayman

This was surprising to see, but it seems that the devs used my code from a Rayman 1 project on GitHub as a reference 😛 Left screenshot is from the collection and right is my code. I named these Rayman power flags myself (so the names are unofficial), and they used literally the exact same names.

Oh gosh, I forgot about this... what have I done 😨

Apparently the player count for the 30th anniversary edition is absolutely terrible 😕 The Steam peak was at around 300 and barely anyone has the PS5 trophies (a single user has the platinum). In fact, Rayman Legends literally has more active players on Steam right now.

I have so much I could say, but I'll keep it brief for now: Digitial Eclipse did an amazing job. The documentary especially is absolutely amazing and heartwarming. I also believe they will update the game to fix the bugs. The new music isn't great, but it falls on Ubisoft, so don't blame the devs.

Also I don't see anyone discussing this, but being able to finally read the entire game design bible is a dream come true for me 😄

I don't really understand the negativity over the Rayman 1 re-release as I much prefer this over some remake where they inevitably ruin the game's artstyle. This to me is the perfect way to re-release the classic and make it more accessible. And the bonus content sounds really cool too!

Hey, I worked on this! VGHF supplied some rare archival materials for this collection, like this flyer for the original Atari Jaguar release (from the Game Informer press materials collection)

I just accidentally made a huge discovery 👀 Turns out there's a cheat code in Rayman 3 GameCube which unlocks every bonus map including 2D Nightmare! No GBA needed at all! Go to the Bonus menu and press "Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right R L R L", so basically the Konami code. #rayman

Apparently the new issue of Retro Gamer with the Michel Ancel interview just revealed the new Rayman 1 re-release 😛 He says it's a remake, in HD and has added checkpoints? Sounds rather odd and tbh it doesn't sound like he was supposed to be announcing this here based on the wording. #rayman

Just released Ray1 Sprite Fix! A visual mod for #Rayman 1 PC (MS-DOS) that restores and fixes classic sprite inconsistencies while staying faithful to the original style. Supports v1.21 & v1.12 Available via Rayman Control Panel 👉 gamebanana.com/mods/648927

I can't believe we somehow went from the doom of a Legends remake to a potential Rayman 1 remaster by Digital Eclipse?? I'm actually really excited now!

I have no idea how trustworthy this is and I feel he might be mixing up projects, cause Steambot is probably a 3D game based on the job listings, but here's some potential info on the Rayman remake (translated from French): #rayman

It seems their Facebook/Instagram pages has an additional piece of art:

BIG UPDATE! I found 2 LOST Rabbids Go Home Flash Games & websites! I was able to restore this with the help of my friend @maedagoof.bsky.social. Here's a highlight of the games in action! Download links + full in-depth videos below in the repiles!!

One of the main reasons Rayman Legends sold so poorly is due to it releasing alongside GTA5 ... GTA6 is now releasing at the end of the year, which is when the new Rayman is rumoured to release too
