Great video but i think you missed the best reason why rainworlds virtual ecosystem works so well. It's because unlike a lot of games, the enemies don't just spontaneously spawn in when the player gets to a certain location and and attack, they are all already doing their own thing throughout the region and every encounter feels natural. They aren't put there just to be a challenge to the player, they're actually moving around by themselves to hunt or scavenge or escape danger and it really feels like all the creatures have their own lives that they're living

Lizards have dens that they come out of every cycle. It’s also where they go to store their food when they catch it. The dens look like normal slugcat tunnels but without the white dotted line indicating you can go through. So those times where a lizard is near your spawn could be explained by them having a den next to your hibernation spot.

Me and the pink lizard looked at each other for about a second, and BOLTED to the two separate pipes. It was the funniest thing to me, and unfortunately I left that area soon after, so I couldn't try tame the lizard.

😂😂😂 The lizards can be so funny. Once I was climbing the Wall as Survivor, trying to pass the area w/ the yellow lizard pack. I ran & barely escaped after jumping the gap, when a blue lizard crawled down after hearing the commotion. Lots of hopping around to evade it, ended up falling and having to reclimb the room, THEN as i got back to the top, a WHITE lizard appeared. Lots of panic-throwing and jumping around later, it finally falls off the edge, i was FINALLY going to make it to the next shelter! And then it grabbed me w/ its tongue as it fell, dragging me with it, and SLAMMING me so hard onto the last platform by the yellows that the fall damage killed me. The white lizard encounter happened all in the span of maybe 3 seconds. I was so appalled i genuinely couldnt be mad abt it, it just made me laugh. Felt like a Peak Rain World experience, lol

Also a perk of procedural animation is that it immerses you in the game. For example the first time you get drowned by the leaches you feel genuine panic because slugcat is programmed to struggle and it really looks like it’s also panicking

You forgot that scavengers will send squads to HELP YOU as well when you get accepted into their tribe, they have different skill levels and personalities. For example, there is a scavenger that will try to shoot you even when the others tell you you're fine to pass the toll. They have emotions to show when they are frightened/stressed as well. Lizards are also predatory amongst each other, there are bigger Lizard species who hunt specifically smaller lizar species. Usually, it's the blue Lizards who get hunted. Eggbugs being a species who regularly get hunted down being forgotten entirely and with that the raindeer not being the only pacifist creature. Noodle Fly mothers will NOT attack you UNLESS you harm their own kin (which is the noodle fly children) it is their entire mechanic that they are very protective of their offspring. You were holding a noodlefly egg in the video to make them aggressive towards you, but did not mention that it's what makes them aggressive?

I was exploring Subterranean when I saw a scav i had befriended in a small enclosed space. When it saw me it began to repeatedly extend and retract one of its limbs in my direction, as if it were beckoning me. I had seen them do this a couple times before, so i climbed into the hole with it out of curiosity. As soon as i do this a horde of miros birds stampedes over us from the direction i was headed. This was the first time I had ever seen them. I was horrified. If not for that scav i would’ve been mincemeat. TLDR: got saved from a group of miros birds by a friendly scav who beckoned me to hide under a rock with it.

Interesting Rain World facts: The Developers once did a test on a (in-game) lizard by breaking all its limbs, making it practically immobile but it then eventually figured out how to move with it's tongue, pulling itself forward. Vultures that you stole a mask from will aggressively hunt you down, and other Vultures will attack it. Cyan/Leap lizards can occasionally make mistakes and drop you randomly or jump into sticky situations Several lizard types will quite literally crawl on the background if it looks like a wall. *You* are at the bottom of the food chain. You're not the main character, Everything isn't focused on the Player. Lizards will battle Lizards, Scavengers will be ambushed by Vultures, the Bats that you incessantly hunt will eventually learn to burrow underground. And all of that happens even if you're not there to see it. It happens all the time. There's a type of creature that has a laser pointer for a head, and it will shoot it's laser into the sky, signalling a Vulture. This is an interesting and weird defense against predators Edit: It was fun seeing the confusion and misunderstanding that ensued 😉 Edit: There's also a new DLC for Rain World! Downpour! It has more content than even the base game! It even has FIVE new unique Slugcat variations!

i'm always glad to see people talking about this game because, even though it's been getting more attention lately, this game is still REALLY underrated. one of the biggest things that i dont think you mentioned is that the whole world isn't very centered around you, the player. vultures will swoop down to grab lizards, scavs can be seen fending off lizards, and noodleflies will hunt down ANYTHING that endangers their kind, not just you. stuff can even be happening off-camera, like you can see a lizard leave the room then follow after it a couple of seconds later and that lizard might have gotten into a fight with another one. this game feels so natural when it comes to stuff like that, it's genuinely a masterpiece.

One of the most overlooked aspects that makes Rain world feel so immersive and real is the lack of UI to distract the player and take them out of the experience. Every bit of information (aside from when the slugcat sleeps) is instead communicated through the music, weather, and different creatures unique behaviors that the player must learn and remember. There's no _in your face tutorial,_ no explanation for anything that happens. It's the players pure survival instincts and adaptation to the ecosystem which makes this game that much more memorable.

Im honestly astonished on how the developers made an actual ecosystem, it looks amazing. Good vid btw.

Another little detail I noticed: if you eat all the berries or bats in an area, in the next cycle you'll have very few to none where you'd expect them, best to sometimes leave a couple so they can seed and reproduce more!

That’s a very cool idea, but it’s not actually how it works. Berries are on a set timer, leaving one or two can be good for food, but it doesn’t have any effect on spawning. As for the bats, they actually behave I think more interestingly than you seem to think they do; there are many rooms in areas with bat nests, but only some will be populated at any given time. If you eat too many in one area, the bats will “migrate” to a different room with the distinctive nests.

I didn't play a lot with it, but it's incredibly amazing. The most little details are insane too. You can steal an egg from a flying thing's nest then next day when you wake up, the little flying things are hatched from the eggs and they thinks that you are their mother and they follow you. I don't know if you can feed them or anything because I was a bad parent so some lizzards hunted them down... heartbreaking moments

I wouldn't say it's the artstyle, but you're on the right track with the minimalist take. I'd say it's the gameplay. All you really do is jump, climb, swim and use some items/weapons. Not much right? But with the little bit of stuff there, you're able to interact with the world around you in so many different ways with many different living creatures. I'm confident that's why the video focuses so much on the ecosystems.

You should have absolutely mentioned that there's about to be a huge new DLC with new slug cats, biomes, creatures, and more. This game is extremely underrated and deserves all the attention it can get.

@CYRUS QUEK CHAN HAY I might. But yeah, tbh it’s just not really an interesting setting to me. Maybe too dreary. I really like the fantasy and swords and sorcery type of setting. Basically a D&D type of setting. But I find online open world games very boring. I know I’m probably odd because apparently everyone loves open world games. I’ve tried very much to get interested in them but I just can’t. Essentially there’s just something really unsatisfying about killing a monster only for it to respawn literally a minute later in the exact same spot. My favorite games are Diablo 2 & 3, which basically it was more following a story and that was more satisfying because essentially you moved through an area and killed monsters and killed a boss and they didn’t respawn so much. I know they had some respawn but it was just done in a way that felt meaningful. I think in many cases though the monsters actually didn’t respawn, and that was just more rewarding. It felt like you really were a part of the story and accomplishing something. Also really old games like Heroes of Might and Magic 2 which was a strategy game and turn-based. I loved that game too. If you’ve never played that one you definitely should try it sometime. It was a PC game.

@narnia1233 @narnia1233 this is an understandable impression to have of the game from it's appearance, but honestly I would say that rain world is *very* akin to a fantasy dungeon explorer that just happens to take place in a Sci fi setting. But even the Sci fi elements are very esoteric and spiritual, the robots you meet are great oracles who guide you on your pilgrimage. Also i just want to mention this game has no online features, though the upcoming dlc is going to add coop play and more payable characters.

honestly. i saw the game by accident for the first time on a random yt video. and stopped immediately after seeing a few things, decided to play it out of curiosity, and fell in love with it for many reasons that goes from the complex animation that for me was something completely new and the presence of all the different creatures, that was fascinating, one of the best experiences i had in a gameplay

This game reminds of the manga "BLAME" by Tsutomu Nihei. A unfamiliar world with creatures more powerful than you are, both have very interesting ecosystem in a post-apocalyptic time. Definitely a masterpiece of its time.

This game is BREATHTAKING. I'm honestly not sure if I can even recommend the game as _an actual game;_ it's really hard, frustrating, and not exactly intuitive. I enjoyed it a ton, but I could very much imagine someone hating it. That said, I can and do recommend Rain World to everyone as a piece of *_art._* When viewed from that lens, it is one of the most awe-inspiring things I have ever personally witnessed! The world-building on display is truly something else. So much is communicated to the player so effortlessly; especially considering that almost all of it is done in [almost] the complete absence of written or spoken word. The game manages to tell a complete story (more, even) through the world around you and your experiences in it. 10/10, the video game equivalent of the The Sistine Chapel.

None of what the game does is actually that computationally complex, though.

It wouldn't compete with more complex visuals - and also, pixel art isn't necessarily cheaper than any other sort of 2D art. Particularly when the lighting's complex.

True curses games are pretty rare these days. They were just graphics of text, and they could be swapped out for nice drawings instead for no performance cost. There was also a DF mod that added really nice lighting a while back. *That* was harder to run, because it had shadows, raycasting, etc.

I watched about 5 minutes of this video from my recommended a year ago and immediately went and bought rain world knowing nothing else about it. Since then, I've beaten the game, and I regularly come back to this vid, rain world, and the curious archive channel. Thanks Mr Archive!

This is just amazing. I have an interest in computer science so I'm really curious as to how exactly things like procedural animation and the AI's in this game work. Never seen something like this before!

im so happy to see you cover rain world. i truly believe this game is a masterpiece. its punishingly difficult (though the upcoming "downpour" update" is to offer some more accessibility options), and i almost gave up playing once early on, but the intrigue drew me back in, and im so, so glad it did. i think the best way to experience the game is to truly put yourself in the mind of the slugcat, like roleplay. BECOME that little guy, terrified, stuck near the bottom of the food chain, but determined to survive. one of the truly fascinating things about the AI that im surprised you didnt mention is that their actions are being simulated even when your not in the room. the world truly does go on without you, making no two cycles the same. you can stumble upon two lizards locked in combat. a room that was empty one cycle can suddenly be full of life the next as the various creatures move about the map. even when you die, you can linger on the screen and watch the cycle continue to play out and to observe the lives of the fauna proceed as normal as they pass through. there truly isnt another game like it.

The bats you eat probably think you are a scary evil predator, but you know you’re just a sweet kitty kat who’s hungry like everything else on rainworld. Then you see that everything existed in harmony until one species became incredibly intelligent and greedy, and separated themselves from the eco system by reforming it to serve only them, and eventually that greed would be their downfall.

This game looks incredible! The creature designs are amazing along with their animations and AI! Edit: probably the coolest creature designs in this game in my opinion are the Lizards, Scavengers, Miros Birds, and Salamanders

You should get it! It's really cool, although often unfair because the entire area's loaded in so you might come out through a tunnel with a lizard right there that just eat you instantly, but that's part of the fun of the game on my opinion. My personal favourite designs are the miros birds and king vultures

@@aperson1754 Glad you asked! I currently have 3 main world building projects I’ll cover on my YT channel. I have a Superhero project where almost all superheroes and villains have animal DNA, an alien ecosystem with 3 intelligent species, and a Fantasy world where I take mythical animals and turn it into existing or extinct animal. For example, I turned the Wendigo into a large Dromaeosaur

@@Tyrexthecreaturedesigner oh nice! Those all sound really cool. I'm a big fan of fictional stuff being made as plausible as possible. I do a bit of speculative biology myself, i don't have a particular project I'm working on but I want to create one at some point though.

I remember meeting one of the developers of Rain World at E3 a few years ago. they had a demo of the game on the show floor and I was intrigued by it so I gave it a shot. I didn't get it at all and I kind of pretended to be really enjoying it so he didn't feel bad. it's definitely a tough game to demo in an environment like that. I do recall him talking a little bit about there being an ecosystem, but in the end I walked away confused. a year or two later I saw it on steam and decided to buy it since I remembered talking to the dev and it ended up becoming one of my favorite games of all time. it is the most brutal game I've ever played if you're trying to actually beat it without any help or guides, to this day I haven't beat it. the world is fascinating as well and there's so many crazy details to take in. anyways I've been glad to see it's popularity grow over the last couple years and get the attention it deserves. I wish I could watch the whole video but there are still areas and creatures I want to discover myself.

Your video made me discover Rain World, buy it along with the DLC, play it and love everything about it. Although it is a harsh game on newbies like me, it's definitely worth it. Thanks. :3

Wow,ive never heard of this game before,nor your channel,it got randomly recommended and it started autoplaying , you managed to grab my attention with your great narrative and details of the games, and i watched the whole video, the game is very well made with a not just a backstory in mind, you can tell the creator really put thought and experienced the world of the game in his imagination ,took his vision and turned it into a accessible world we can now join and explore ourselves . Slug cat seems really sweet. You're doing a great job and im sure its being appreciated by fellow gamers ❤

The procedural aspect really adds to the horror of getting killed You really feel like you are fighting ravenous animals instead of in most games pixelated fake robotic monsters

I'm so happy, Rain World is finally getting a lot of attention, in 2019 it was a hidden gem!

I love running into games that combine "I want to buy this game just to throw some money at the devs who did an awesome thing, because I want to reward them and have more such things exist in the world" with "holy crap that would ramp up my anxiety like crazy, there is practically no way I would be able to play that game for more than a few minutes and I'd never get to the end". This game will likely join LIMBO and INSIDE as games I've bought but have next to no intention of actually playing. Love that they exist.

Amazing Video, great explanations and showcases, fantastic game too. Beautifully done.

I cannot express how grateful I am that you covered this game. It got a lot of bad press from reviewers who couldn’t progress because of the difficulty, and I’m glad you took the time to really explore the game and understand what makes it amazing. Rain World isn’t perfect, and it’s not for everyone, but it is something special, and seeing it praised by a channel as big as this one really made my day.

The devs aren't gonna fuck you bro

I just noticed, you use singular "they" rather than "it" to refer to the characters. because the game feels so real. All the creatures feel so sentient and alive.

I love how it’s not all just premade cut secnes that lizard actually got your food then got ate by a vulture

While i'm not one for playing hard games myself (mostly because i get easily frustrated and then i stop playing), i love to see the games artistry. And this one is incredibly amazing. Sure its pixelated, but the procedual animation and the complex ai's, as well as the very well crafted backgrounds and enviroments all come together to really make this game shine. And the art from the cutscenes is adorable. It deserves more attention and i hope it gains some more over the next weeks, months and years.

Unfortunately watching a video such as this takes much of the fun out of it, as this game is a bit like Subnautica where discovering creatures and their behaviours is half the fun

I didn’t know this masterpiece even existed and now I can’t find a word to express how much I want to play this game not only due to the complexity and difficulty, but for the astonishing visual appeal it have

WOW!!! That looks like a fantastic game. Thanks SO MUCH for showcasing Rainworld! You did a fantastic job and gave me a great appreciation and fascination for it although I doubt I will attempt to play it. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

The lighting in this game really helps it along, it makes the game feel way more active, more real

You covering this game is a dream come true!! My god, thank you SO MUCH!!! I hope you revisit it once Downpour, the huge DLC for it releasing in January, comes out. It's been in the works for years, and was made in collaboration with several mod creators.

Rain worlds one of those games where you wish you could forget it completely just to replay it, my first play through is something i will not forget
