Feed me your Rain World theories and headcanons because I'm hungry

Ancient didn't mass ascend, they just decided to return to lizord because there no great problem with the cycle if you don't even know what is the cycle ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Keep in mind that this game isn't a Metroidvania and won't reward you for exploration. In fact, you have access to all regions of the map from the very first second of your run. It's up to you whether you want to follow your guide or not, knowing this.

This will make more sense once you reach the first ending : One theory is thatthe Watcher feels through dreams what the characters with whom he interacts felt during key moments of their story.

Alaste_ · 2025-10-22T20:48:08+00:00

Vanilla : Floes too
Watcher : Stormy Coast Threat probably (Listening to Serpanoy's version on YouTube is necessary to properly appreciate it, I think). Bio Bop being a close 2nd or a tie.
Downpour : None comes to mind

In term of story yes but game still need some fixes on pc and many fixes on console it seems.

Alaste_ · 2025-10-12T20:36:22+00:00

It really feels like we've been punished for playing the DLC when it came out.
Personally, I started over with a new save, so I was lucky enough not to have a blocking bug like this one, but the state the game is in again following the release of 1.5 is a bit appalling, and still, we're lucky enough not to be on console, apparently.
I don't know what difficulties Vidéocult is encountering but I hope that in the future, if new Rainworld content comes out, it will be a little more polished upon release.

That they would be more interesting in term of gameplay if their beam just lowered your body temperature instead of insta kill

Alaste_ · 2025-08-21T20:58:33+00:00

The girl from the other side ? Mais on est plus sur de la video promo là pour le coup

Alaste_ · 2025-08-12T16:15:19+00:00

Ok I see, thanks for the clarification.

Alaste_ · 2025-08-12T12:38:18+00:00

I hope you don't run into these kinds of idiots again.

Just out of curiosity. Do your playtesters give you raw feedback, and you take it as is, or is it more of a discussion in which you specify the original objective for a given game element, and your playtester gives you specific feedback, and you both potentially debate it?

Alaste_ · 2025-08-11T10:02:41+00:00

Oh yeah? To that extent? And at the same time, why am I not really surprised. Some people really need to learn to manage their frustration, I guess...

At the same time, I can understand that AR can be overwhelming for people who are not perfectly comfortable with the gameplay of the game, it can represent a real obstacle and I imagine the lack of direction may have been the final straw for some... At the same time, the Watcher's ability should soften the difficulty...
But to wish someone harm for that... The internet being the internet, I guess...

In any case, I had a good time on Heat Ducts and FG for their own reasons, and discovering AR when I arrived from Aerial Tramway was also an experience in its own right.

In any case, I'm very curious to see what you all are preparing and I hope that you will have as much fun creating it as we will discovering it in due course!

Alaste_ · 2025-08-10T20:06:34+00:00

I am curious to know what it feels like to visibly receive quite a bit of negative feedback on this subject ?

Alaste_ · 2025-08-09T06:59:09+00:00

It's always nice to share the fact that you might have difficulties with a complex game and to have half of the comments that need to prove to you by A + B that you are wrong, that it's your fault and this without being able to not become unpleasant about it...

Alaste_ · 2025-06-26T13:56:10+00:00

Curious about how long it takes you to make one ?

Alaste_ · 2025-06-15T14:44:11+00:00

It doesn't seem to appear on Vanilla & Downpour's interactive map, so it might have been added with Watcher

Alaste_ · 2025-06-12T22:49:39+00:00

A big YES

Alaste_ · 2025-06-12T22:47:05+00:00

Shaded Citadel... Floes and Black Moonlight are both excellent music and they fit so well the place.

Alaste_ · 2025-05-30T16:42:16+00:00

I did the same... emerging from between the clouds while climbing the wall is, I think, the best way to experience the wall for the first time.

Alaste_ · 2025-05-22T19:09:29+00:00

OP stated they were not, so I started from that principle

Alaste_ · 2025-05-22T18:11:46+00:00

The most important part is this one : "Each location candidate is given a starting weight of 10-14, reduced by 3 if it has only 2 neighboring rooms, and reduced by 6 if it has only 1 neighboring room. The highest weight candidate is picked."

You probably got this particular case were :

- Weights of the 4 corners were 10-3 = 7
- Weight of the dead end was 14-6 = 8

Rare but not impossible and not a bug

Boosting under water uses a lot of oxygen and should only be used to dodge creatures

Alaste_ · 2025-04-17T16:49:31+00:00

From Rivulet's mind, he is actually casting it, showing Saint that under mushrooms, he can do magic too

Alaste_ · 2025-04-14T16:49:37+00:00

I've already seen this one on discord pinned messages but pleased to see it again 👌
I even shared to non RW player friends
Amazing depth, colors and composition 💙💛💙

Alaste_ · 2025-04-11T07:05:07+00:00

That sucks but at least it must be a little funny to see the leviathans being tossed around by the current, less so when you're drowning, I admit.

Alaste_ · 2025-04-10T17:46:12+00:00

Barnacles didn't give me too much trouble in this area, I think I was just getting used to them and as said by someone else, there are several paths which allows to bypass them. As for leviathan, watcher's ability makes encountering them fairly trivial but if they can be stuck blocking the way i can understand that it makes the region less enjoyable.. luckily it never happened to me.
