Destroy All Humans! 2 is a game with very interesting ragdoll physics…

… and very interesting extraterrestrials! 🦞

Ah, those green grey aliens and their fascinating invisible technologies! 👽

Le Point - Novembre 2024

Salut, voici le Point de novembre 2024 ! J’ai passé une année douloureuse et j’ai eu peu de temps pour terminer des contenus… Et oui, vous voyez peut-être cette miniature pour la deuxième fois parce que je me suis trompé dans l’article d’octobre ! 😅

Salut, bandes de lunatiques lunaires ! Je vous souhaite la bienvenue dans ce résumé de mon mois de novembre ! Sites et vidéos : Ce fut… une période difficile… oui… Je ne peux pas aller dans les détails puisque c’est personnel, mais j’ai bien souffert et vous pouvez vous douter que j’ai eu très peu de temps pour le blogue… Je ne sais même pas si ça ira mieux en décembre et début 2025, c’est…

I recreated the challenge screens from the Pocket PC/Palm OS versions of Rayman Game Boy Color for my ReDesigner port of the game!

I used actual assets like Rayman 1 backgrounds/sprites and the original Rayman 2 render!

Here are the originals for the sake of comparison! Pocket PC:

I really like how the PPC version looks, it's pretty even to this day and I do prefer it over my own recreations! :)

The Palm OS screens, on the other hand... 🫠

That quality is why my pictures are used instead in the Palm OS versions of my ReDesigner port if you don't pick the original graphics. 🙃

I like how Rayman Redemption added some new mini-bosses, some even expanding on some special underutilised enemies from Rayman 1!

It’s quite a great coincidence that the mad drummer ended up becoming a Redemption boss, when it was discovered later that he was intended to be an actual mini-boss in the original Rayman all along! Now that’s what you call a happy accident! :)

On the topic of the soundtrack which I recorded in-game before it got released separately, I also captured New Foe combined to the Cave Bongos drum track.

You can hear it that way during the Spider Master fight if you escape with the helicopter cheat code… Don’t know why I considered it was worth making a dedicated video out of it back then, but there it is. :P

If you weren’t aware, some of the music in Rayman Redemption’s soundtrack are remakes of tunes from other Rayman games/ports!

For example, Jaguars in the Jungle is based on the exclusive Moskito’s Nest theme from Rayman 1’s Atari Jaguar version!

I styled the titles in my videos in red as a nod to that same console! Definitely one of my favourite pieces in that OST, very relaxing! 🌱

I like how Ryemanni went out of his way to create some tracks for very specific contexts in Rayman Redemption, when some like the Magician shop weren't even that needed! A lot of love was poured into that game, and it shows!

I liked the OST so much that I recorded the soundtrack before it was available, and then made dedicated extended versions for it!

[mortamon-saturn]

The music videos on MortaDolly were the first time I started dabbling into video effects! It began with the Darktoon tracks in Rayman Redemption, and while it looks amateurish, it was a pretty good learning experience!

Speaking of Darktoon's Mischief, I find it interesting how it's the only music in the soundtrack that's different from the in-game version as it features an extra introductory bit!

On that same topic, I happened to use a early take on my Dark Chimera thumbnail for the intro variation just to not let it go to waste...

Which ended up accidentally fitting for Darktoon as Ryemanni revealed he was originally supposed to be transformed into the Dark Chimera, during the game's development! That's also why its music uses Darktoon's leitmotif!

I really had a lot of fun designing those goofy thumbnails too! :P

[mortamon-saturn]

Now, here’s the theme of the one and only…

Memetoon

Darktoon!

As amateurish as it was, you could tell I really had a blast designing these stupid Darktoon thumbnails back in the day!

"Who are you?"

"I’m you, but Darktooner."

Rayman Redemption and its soundtrack are made by Ryemanni!

Le Point - Octobre 2024

Salut ! Voici enfin le Point du mois d’Halloween… euh, d’octobre ! Il est assez court, celui-là, mais après tout j’ai été bien occupé avec mon nouveau job… Je vous souhaite des joyeux mois de Noël à vous, maintenant ! :P

Salut, bandes d’internautes internés ! Faisons ce résumé du mois d’Halloween ! 👻 Sites et vidéos : J’ai commencé un job ce mois-ci ! Mais du coup, j’ai encore moins de disponibilité pour être actif ici… beaucoup moins… On verra bien où ça nous mènera… Je songe aussi à un véritable nouveau début ailleurs, d’autant plus que je vais très bientôt manquer d’espace de stockage pour ajouter des images…

The SEGA Saturn was my first console, and I don’t regret it despite the weak line-up outside of Japan, as I was lucky to start with classics like those five gems!

I’m sad my Saturn doesn’t work any more because I really love those specific versions of Rayman, NiGHTS, Command & Conquer and Exhumed/PowerSlave in particular! 🥲

They had those small nuances that made them special, like the extra visual effects in Rayman, the level design and grenade jump in PowerSlave, or some cools unique cheats in C&C like being able to build Bio-Research Laboratories and Visceroids!

Many game versions had that little extra flavour back in the day! But of course, it’s just a nostalgic thing. It usually came at the cost of flaws like missing content or worse graphics/audio, and exclusive stuff have a lot of other cons to consider... so I’m happy with the more consistent console/PC releases nowadays. :)

I remember when I started my bonus MortaDolly channel... At the time, it was called "Blank Painting", didn't even have a original profile pic/banner and was just a personal account to watch videos.

Then, when Rayman Redemption came out and its OST wasn't out yet, I thought: "Hey, why not record the soundtrack myself and use that extra channel to share all of it?"

Turns out it ended up becoming a pretty big success! And thus, my second channel was properly borned, and I kept using it to post all of my random stuff and extras from my gameplay YouTube channel!

So, if you listened to individual videos of Redemption's music back in the days, you probably did it on "Blank Painting", which then evolved into "Mysterious Doll" as we got to the "extended tracks" era, and finally MortaDolly!

Thank you for all the love you gave to MortaDolly over the years! You are amazing!

Of course, go give all the love you can to Ryemanni, who made this fantastic remake of my childhood game and its lovely soundtrack! I am so deeply grateful for everything he has achieved around Rayman 1, and all of his Rayman fangames are a delight to play!

Have a fantastic life.

So, this month is "NNN" you say...

As a fellow Rayman fan, I approve! 👀🧀

I love how Rayman Redemption featured this Rayman Brain Games meme as a cheat code! It's also in ReDesigner as an easter egg object, and picking it up triggers the voice line!

Ah, cheese... my favourite food in the alphabet! 🧀🧀🧀

(Warning: Captain Slow jump scare. Also, no Dacia Sandero is featured in this video... Anyway, last week-...)

Ubisoft when you request some new games for the franchises they've been sitting on for decades:

The Noseless nightmare returns!

Here’s the 100% playthrough I did on The Spooky Raymansion 3 by Ryemanni! The sequel where our favourite limbless hero’s dreams are haunted by Noseless Rayman! 👀

Get the game here.

I also defeated the final boss without taking any damage in this video below, with some stupid edited extras to continue my "noseless_rayman.mp4" series!

"Third time’s the charm"...

[mortamon-saturn]

"Christmas months"? We don't do that here! Time for extended Halloween! :P

Here's my 100% playthrough on The Spooky Raymansion 2 by Ryemanni, the first sequel to Noseless Rayman's hilariously terrifying game!

This one is far better than its predecessor, with actual levels and a proper gameplay! You can download the game here.

But remember...

YOUR NOSE BELONGS TO RAYMAN 👀

The last twenty seconds of this edit have to be the most bone-chilling thing I ever released on YouTube... for now. 😈

[mortamon-saturn]

Halloween was yesterday Halloween is totally today and I’m totally not late to celebrate due to my new job! 👻

For such a terrifying time, here’s my 100% playthrough on The Spooky Raymansion by Ryemanni! It’s the first horror game I played for my channels, and quite a funny one at that with our good old Noseless Rayman taking his first steps!

I also did a bonus video featuring my failed attempts, back from the days when I didn’t use MortaDolly to post my extra content!

You can try out the fangame for yourself here.

Even if it aged terribly compared to its sequels due to being a complete shitpost game thrown together in a few days, it’s quite a hilarious experience! Definitely worth a quick try, at least!

Now…
