#forgotten videogames

Anyone has any games they greatly miss? Like there hasn't been a new one or even an update about it. That's been me with two particular franchises: Rayman and Spectrobes. (It would be three but Tom Holland practically put Jak and Daxter in possible production with wanting to play in a live action Jak game.)

I gonna start off with Rayman cause this is the first game I play between these two series. A colorful platformer often recognized by their unique protagonist, Rayman. He's a Thingamajig which can be considered an incomplete species as in one set of lore there were simply not enough energy/magic to fully complete Rayman's body.

A kindhearted, whacky and bit snarky protagonist who had a total of one trilogy, a reboot duology alongside various platforms. My first Rayman game was actually the first in the trilogy, aka his starting point in the series. I played both these three games alongside the reboot.

My favorite being Rayman 3 Hoodlum Havoc. I just love the nutty character interactions, beautifully made environments, awesome music and the best for me is the power ups called Combat Fatigues. Although I absolutely loathe the Desert of the Knaaren stage. Ubisoft knew how to write fucking tension(before the disgusting actions in the office occurred.)

After Rayman Legends came out, the only games we been getting so far are phone games. Since the creator of our Thingamajig protagonist left to open up an animal sanctuary, Rayman got shoved into obscurity. Especially when the Rabbids were made.

I really don't like the Rabbids and not because they practically got my favorite game series kicked the curb. They're just so annoying to the point I want punt them into the sun. So far, Mario + Rabbids is the only game series that doesn't make em so irritating.

Thankfully Rayman is actually making an emergence in Mario + Rabbids Spark of Hope as a DLC character and his own adventure. If it goes well, we might see him back in an official game than a phone app.

Next game is highly unlikely as it fell into Nintendo's forgotten bin, Spectrobes.

A monster collector type game that actually dives off the normal formula. You collect Spectrobes by excavating fossils and awakening them with your voice. Spectrobes can be used to excavate more fossils alongside minerals or battle Krawl, invading darkness type creatures that'll devour anything in their wake even whole star systems.

This game series had a trilogy, a few books and even a web series. The last game being Spectrobes Origins for the Wii. One special thing about the series were the monsters you collect. Like Pokemon they have three stages: Child, Adult and Evolved.

As you can see, some look straightforward like the Koma line (Komainu, Komanoto, Komadoras) yet there are a bunch that would throw you off guard between stages like (Shogyo, Chugyo, Daigyo). First game I played was actually the second, Spectrobes: Beyond the Portals. Took awhile to play the first and third games. Like Rayman, these were part of my childhood.

As for why it's unlikely to comeback also comes from the fact that studio which made, Disney Interactive Studios, closed down in 2016. It's death came from Disney's Skylanders rip-off. Although the patent for the Spectrobes series might still be there and we could have a Blinx the Cat situation.

I love to see both these franchises come back one day. Even an HD Collection for the trilogies would be great.

That's it for now! Until next time folks, I'll see you later!

I stared right into the endless void And I ain't going back if I got any choice I know how to live, I don't know how to die And there ain't no thrills in the afterlife

Reunited friends

The three would be very good friends indeed.

Ref:

When everyone is jumping onto the Origins choo choo device while you’re still stuck in Wo Long purgatory. So you ride the choo choo device while touring purgatory.

Or you jump onto the choo choo device after bringing souvenirs from purgatory.

But now I have yeeted my dumbasses into 3K and that’s the best decision I’ve ever made in my life.

I hastily drew an idea of Origins Xiao Sheng but I’m unsure if the fit is assassin enough. Lady Yan? She slays. Kinda Scared to put it on Twitter but let us hope the DW fandom has a better attitude towards OCs than the fallout fandom (ironically enough)

Let's Play - Pool Of Radiance: Part 0 (1988)

We are firmly in 1986 on the chronology of this list, so you might ask why am I suddenly jumping 2 years to 1988 in order to cover Pool of Radiance? Well, I'm not, but these games take time to play and I wanted to try my hand at making some YouTube videos, and so that I have played the game thoroughly by the time we get to the review in 1988, so it's better to start now! 

So here we are with a trailer for session 0 of Pool of Radiance, where I create the characters for the party, take a tour of Phlan and give you some lore on the Moonsea and  Ancient Phlan! I'll be posting a new one of these every Sunday night (Monday morning if you are in Europe). These videos are also done in collaboration with some Dungeon Synth artists, so it's also a way to find new Dungeon Synth music!

My toxic trait is getting two days of rest and immediately feeling like I could pick back up my Enderal fancomic and finish it (I'm a cartoonist with four hours of freedom a day)
