Electoons will return in Reburrowed!
We're working on some more updates to share with you, but in a meantime have a look at these little critters from the first Rayman game.
Rayman Raving Rabbids: Reburrowed
Showin
The shark saw a bit more radical change in some areas. Being made a lot more colorful with a more distinct underside.
Some parts like it's top fin have been given subtle exaggerations. And of course, it now has expressive eyes and brows.
This mindset was applied to new designs like the buffalo.
While based on a pre-existing idea, we had a lot more flexibility in choosing how it should look.
And designs like the shark influenced how to approach this one.
The shark is a great example of maintaining the core vibe despite the redesign.
The appeal to many of the original designs were their edge. So instead of looking cutesy, the new shark looks super pissed off with deep sunken eyes and small red pupils.
It also glows in the dark.
Ultimately it's probably still a bit scary looking to some people. But removing that was never the goal.
It's still meant to be a crazy giant spider rayman gets to ride. But now it's more cartoonish and dream-like. (a phobia mode is planned tho)
The most well known revamp from reburrowed is the spider.
You can see it's partially inspired by the concept art above. But it also retains the original spider's traits as well.
Additionally looking a lot more colorful and a bit cuter. It's much more exaggerated now.
Hopefully you feel we've reached the goal of making these creatures look cool so they can beat up much sillier looking rabbits.
They may look more cartoony, but their original appeal is hopefully left intact.
Another popular creature from RRR is the of course the eagle.
The eagle was actually already sort of exaggerated. So what we did was exaggerated the parts that weren't already.
Alongside some general texture tweaks, the eagle was given a larger beak and larger toonish eyes.
The angler fish is a funny one. The poster I showed earlier heavily inspired our changes to this one.
Once again, the core is not too different. But the large cartoonish eyes help a lot in making it fit in more.
