SylverReZ · Jan 1, 2024

An anonymous donor has recently released 68 new prototypes of Rayman 3 for the Game Boy Advance, with the earliest dating back to January 18, 2002, where it would be showcased at the France Committee. Additionally, the individual has released digital versions of documents revolving around the game's development, such as game design and even more seemingly relating to the console and PC ports of Rayman 2.

Not sure it'll take long than that, probably about 5 months or so.

Makes sense, Rayman it's less obscure than, to say, Raiden

Damn, 68 protos? Did they like make a standalone prototype of the game each week or something, lol
Love me stuff like this, finding out how a game could've been and whatever hidden goodies are concealed inside the code, heh

Maybe try looking into them via a hex editor, to maybe find any unused assets and/or developer messages.

I heard rumors of a scrapped Rayman port on the GBA, but this just cements it, incredible find!

Holy guacamole indeed.

I'd love it if someone could build a finished ROM of the game out of the Prototype's assets.

Rayman is still less obscure than Jazz Jackrabbit.

Yea or even Unreal these days. Nobody wanted to create more articles with me for Unreal "protos" and my main page on U2 with brief but precise descriptions got deleted because no subpages yet. Btw prototype should technically only be the first prototype a real prototype, I don't know why other pre-releases are suddenly being called prototypes these days. Completely misses the point what the word MEANS.

You might also be counted as pretty "obscure" yourself, lol.

LOL XD.
Rayman 2 prototype was also made in 2D.

He had that Rayman 3 original redesign so maybe it still counts. Who knows.

I even remember digital poll in one of social media services by Clifford Bleszinski in Twitter to be even more precise.

I even saw screenshot of Michel Ancel he posted SNES port of Rayman 1 in his own Instagram profile.

Also I even guess that LEOTCK hates when I'm using such words 2.5D. But who knows maybe I'm wrong.
