What do we know about Joris le Sans-Pouvoir (Joris the Powerless)?

Aka, addressing the "cancelled Nintendo DS game"-shaped elephant in the room.

While this blog has gone deep into the show and character dissections, I think it would be remiss to proceed without addressing the elephant in the room — the game, the myth, the legend, the 2007-2009ish cancelled game Joris le Sans-Pouvoir.

There isn't a lot that is known about it, and all the data in this post comes from two developers.

The only videos of it we have available are uhhh......,

...Please say "Thanks Ronik!" for this video in particular.

I spent hours trying to convert these two SWF animation video files, — which demonstrate how the game was supposed to look, — to something actually viewable. There were many issues, with at least seven different programs.

I suffered for crepinjurgenology studies, but I did it.

Instead of recounting the story in my own words and omitting anything on accident, I will simply present to you, what the portfolios of two different developers say (these two pages are the source of all the images, gifs, and gameplay):

Joris Le sans-Pouvoir is the main character from a feature film Ankama due in 2013. It’s a new character IP situated in the DOFUS universe. I had the chance to work on a platform game prototype that was all about delving into of the character’s backstory. We wrote a lot of background and had a lot of fun designing and developping a cute and quirky platformer with a hint of metroidvania elements and a dash of Grow gameplay elements in-between levels. It also was a great opportunity to work with Jono Takeshi-san of Radiata Stories fame who worked with me on the art direction. (SOURCE)

Joris was the first Nintendo DS project developed at Ankama (in partnership with Magic Pockets). I began working on the project as narrative game designer, then took on the role of Lead Designer and Project Manager. Game design on this project involved boss fight, level design, minigame design, UI… I also designed an original collecting system where collectible items were used in a minigame inspired by the “Grow” series. The developpement has been put on hold to match the release of the animated movie with the same character (scheduled in 2013). (SOURCE)

Neither the movie nor the game, survived their development, due to circumstances. (shorthand for: I have no idea what happened, man. Maybe one day I'll write a post about the history of the movie, and truly open that can of worms, but god, not right now. I don't want to spend more time on this.)

Eventually, The Wakfu film turned into three OVAs instead, and the Dofus film changed its plot a bunch of times, and became Livre 1 : Julith.

...For some reason, in some version of it, Joris had a tail. Yeah, I don't know what that's about either. Cool clothes, though!

We don't know anything about its plot, and unlike cancelled projects Dofus Donjons and Welsh et Shedar (which was cancelled for years, until its recent resurrection), the lore of this game carries no relevancy in modern canon.

The name, Joris the Powerless, as well as the log-centric gameplay, both seem to reference the early concept that Joris had log-based powers, — and that without his "magic wand," he couldn't do much.

(Joris and his weird fucking "magic wand" were, in turn, borne out of the idea of a warrior who had a woman's voice. Which makes me chuckle.)

(The following quotes are machine-translated and may contain errors)

(SOURCE)

This is, by the way, the reason why I personally headcanon Joris to be really bad at huppermagic. So bad that he dropped out of the Huppermage Academy, and almost never uses magic in combat. It's a homage to his original idea.

(Yes, there is an actual reason why I headcanon Joris to be godawful at magic, besides just projecting my neurodivergencies onto him.)

I suppose that, even at this time, Joris was meant to be a store owner:

The gameplay loop involves going from boutique, to missions, and so on, while those two pieces of concept art involve the said boutique section, and show a female character saying «Pas mal, boss !».

In my opinion, it might be this character. Proto-Simone, perhaps?

Since the store seems to be the centerpiece, and the Grow-style minigames involved collectibles, I would assume that the plot involved Joris going around and finding artifacts for the store. That would also explain the concept art gifs of him adventuring.

(Though, the adventuring would probably just be the inciting incident/a vehicle for plot development. Nintendo DS games loved using the jobs characters did for that purpose.)

This is the extent of what I can surmise about the plot.

The developer portfolios also included these example documents, but the image quality is too bad for me to make sense of or upscale. I am including them here solely for some French people who are very good at reading blurry text. (If you learn anything, let me know, okay?)

Overall, my verdict is that this game's cancellation was both a blessing (Joris without Kerubim and Atcham is like tea without water and a cup. How am I meant to drink leaves? Are you stupid? Why are you giving me leaves with nothing?) and a curse (THEY CANCELLED A GAME ABOUT MY BLUE-COLORED YOINKY SPLOINKY (who has a THIN, GRABBABLE WAIST)????? FUCK!)

Hope this was a fun read!

Proyecto: Gelanillo

By: Janis V.M 

Para: Dofus 2.0

Esta creación fué inspirada en un hermoso y creativo anillo perteneciente a uno de los juegos más apreciados por mí, el cual me trae grandes recuerdos e incluso nostalgia por los buenos tiempos, sin olvidar que realmente amé y disfruté cada parte de este proceso.

Siendo este uno de mis anillos favoritos, siempre me acompañó durante mi etapa de crecimiento como Yopuka. Cabe mencionar que actualmente me despido de esta gran parte de mi set con la mayor gratitud y alegría, celebrando finalmente mi transición a lvl 200 después de varios años, aunque me despido de este gran artículo de joyería estoy feliz de haber recreado esta pieza ¡la cual estará conmigo por siempre!

No siendo más, por favor siéntete libre de explorar en detalle este proyecto, ¡gracias!

¡Gracias por visitar mi proyecto!

Dnjcj had a dream abt a httyd wakfu AU...

[unoolih]

I finally managed to motivate myself to "finish" that piece! (I say while blatantly knowing that I got tired of working on it + forgot to give light and shade to the left leg)

I wanted to post that for Christmas, but I'm super late.

Anyway, that's just me being horny for my Dofus/World of Twelve OC/fancharacter Ayveris and giving her an OOC facial expression.

Enjoy.

I wrote another Games Journalism article- this one was about the best film adaptations of video games.

Episode 44 - My Papycha, the Secondhand Dealer

[MORROWIND ADDENDUM???]

I realized that this moment seems to use the same book closing sound as Morrowind, which is cool.

It's called "Book, Close Hard", and comes from the "Sound Ideas General 6000" VFX library released in 1992.

Obviously it has been used in many other shows and games (like Zelda, for example), — and I may be wrong, — but it sounds the same to me.

Oh shit, a fanart meme full of blondes but I cheated in it somewhere!

Edit : ... gotta love realizing that I've completely forgotten to give Evangelyne elven ears.

Also, go watch Wakfu and She Ra.
