The findings of Dude Dudu #98

Hello everyone!
Today, we have a new Spanish book, which also came out during the time the series was a huge success in the country. In this book, you'll find (in Spanish, obviously) information on the main and secondary characters, important locations on Earth and Lyoko, as well as XANA's monsters. Games and anecdotes are also spread throughout.
Hello and thanks for reading this news, let me introduce to you my new game!
Presentation
The Fandom Strategy is a Multiplayer Turn-Based Strategy Game. Its design is meant to be changed according to several licences from animated or live actions series to videogames (Doctor Who, Stargate, Mario, Ben 10, Code Lyoko and so on), so that multiple players with different tastes can play the same game online, having a different character designs based on what they prefer, and can battle for their preferred fandom design, which gives points to that same fandom.
Right now, it’s the of Code Lyoko community that is chosen and which will be the main base of development, since my last game has a great Code Lyoko community I can count on.
So this game is meant to be multiplayer only. An attempt that I had already tried with one of my cancelled projects, Simple Space Battles. But like any project you cancel, there's always something you've learned in between, for me, it was the understanding and the application of the most important network principles in video games. So I do have the baggage for this game this time!
Platforms & numbers of players
Nevertheless, the first part of the development is focused on a non-online version, playable in LOCAL, on a same PC or a same MAC (2 to 8 players), or, important point, on a same ANDROID TABLET (2 to 4 players). The future online version is meant to be able to accept 2 to 8 players. (up to 12 players has been considered, but since it’s a turn-based game, and that every units takes place on the screen, it doesn’t seem like a great idea).
For game balance reasons, a game with 8 players will certainly be only available with TEAM modes (4vs4), so that players won’t die too quickly. (others ideas are studied, like reducing the number of available actions in a turn depending on total player number).
Turn Gameplay
Each turn, we get the choice between materializing a creature (in case of the Code Lyoko design, a XANA monster), move one, make one attack, or use its special power. Every player has a limited number of creatures that they can materialize, and a limited number they can materialize at the same time. Victory conditions are the elimination of all enemy creatures (and the loss of all their materialization points).
Plans & further goals
After a few prototype versions released and tested, the game will be completely recoded and remade under the unity engine (which would give no more lag + online mode). Actual alpha versions are made under flash technology for faster iterations and modifications.
Some other features are studied, a grid pattern movement only, a ‘commander’ you have to defend, in order to give a focused interest for the players, a power up system to give more diversity and randomness in the battles (like SuperSmashBros types of powerUps) (or giving negative feedback loops, like Mario Kart powerups) and so on.
Thanks!

Here we go again with the some last few findings! The end is very near! But before that, here's an old advertisement for Code Lyoko dating back to season 2 that was shown on the French channel Toowam.

Hello everyone!
Let's continue our series of book scans with a new Spanish book. This book, somewhat like the Albin Michel books, was a mix of information on the series and more or less fun games. Plus, this book stands out from others in that it had temporary tattoos included: around 20 mini-tattoos in our heroes' and XANA's monsters' colours.
Today, we're talking papercraft. In 2011, a few months before the announcement of Code Lyoko Evolution, Moonscoop tried to promote its future series by creating papercrafts based on its mother series. (A papercraft allows you to recreate a character from a series with a cubic design from a pattern). A first official papercraft of Ulrich came out, but after very little success from this first papercraft, Moonscoop didn't bother to release any others. Well...a second one, of Yumi, was in the making, but never saw the light of day...until today! :D
Have a nice day all on codelyoko.fr

Hello everyone!
We continue our series on books by today uploading the other activity book by Albin Michel that came out at the same time as the Mission X.A.N.A. book. Like the first, this game book is a mixture of tests on the series and more common games such as crosswords and sudokus. All in French, as usual.
Do you remember the media plans for the release of season 2 on DVD? Because this week's finding sort of resembles them. Indeed, here's the post-season 4 media plans that shed light on a DVD promotional offer of the time. In French, of course.
<-- To see the communication plan, click on this one.
And with this, a new flyer that's also to do with season 4 of the series, serving to promote the series so that it can be sold overseas.
<-- And for the flyer, follow the arrow.
Thanks to Aquatikelfik for the documents and have a nice day on Codelyoko.fr.

The findings of Dude Dudu #91 (the return!)

Hello everyone!
After a well-deserved holiday, the findings of Dude Dudu is back and better than ever (for a few more posts at leasts) with a slightly different schedule. From now on, one of two posts will be used to upload a Code Lyoko book/album, such as the one you can appreciate today, and the other will be a regular finding!
So we'll begin this book series today with the first Code Lyoko activity book by Albin Michel in February 2010: "Mission X.A.N.A.". In French. In this small booklet (around 32 pages), we find various games, such as mazes or spot the difference, all mixed in with games on the series in general (even if the trivia questions remain very very simple).
Yes, the teaser from last week doesn't match today's finding, but whatever! Today, a very huge and interesting finding: a video showing the creation of the Digital Sea, which warrants being shown as soon as possible!
Enjoy the clip on codelyoko.fr
Lastly, a small note for those who are following Chronicle of a Translation news:
Due to unforeseen circumstances, we can't make an update this week. We will try to update with two chapters next week, but unfortunately we can't make any promises.
Hello everyone!
