Knowing most of the assets and visuals showcased so far weren't up to the desired standard, the project was largely restarted in 2013 with a much higher standard of quality in place. While further videos were uploaded showcasing more refined mechanics and animations, the project entered a limbo state around 2014 due to limitations caused by a lack of traditional (non-visual) programming knowledge, and focus was put on other projects in order to learn C++, and C# in the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unity_(game_engine) Unity engine]. Between 2016 and 2018, attempts were made to resume development in newer versions of CryEngine, but it proved difficult to navigate due to a lack of community knowledge and documentation regarding certain aspects of the engine.

Development began on a completely new iteration of the project in 2020, now using Unity. In September 2020, for the first time in four years, a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUvI1oagT6E new gameplay video] was released. Rather than playing like Rayman 2 or {{rw|Rayman 3}}, the mechanics were heavily reimagined, controlling more akin to a 3D counterpart of [[raywiki:Rayman Origins|Origins]] and [[raywiki:Rayman Legends|Legends]].
