- This silly video is just me messing with the mold for a half hour. Apologies for the performance issues, running this thing on my PC is intense!
The Mold is the magnum opus of mutants in their concept. Somewhere along the journey of mutant creation, I had a simple thought. "What if a mutant grew along the map?"
This was an idea I had years ago, and though at the time I was too limited in my scripting knowledge to execute the idea, I've improved and can now bring the creation to life in a form I am proud of.
The Mold was not originally inspired by much in particular, to make it mechanically interesting, I decided to make it grow various "traps", and that its tendrils would branch off all over the map, covering surfaces and climbing walls/floors/roofs. One image I remember thinking of specifically when making the "trees" was a meme about a potato growing roots everywhere, quoted "where is the fucking soil". Overall though, it was just based off of real-world mold, fungi, moss growth, scaled up to the extreme obviously.
Eventually, as the mutant was developed, I decided I would take a bit of inspiration from more concrete sources. Below is a list of inspirations that I recall making intentionally:
Screamer Mounds (the ribcage traps) were partially inspired by the Skulk Shriekers from Minecraft
Rot, Rotlings, and Mother Rots are inspired by Rainworld's Daddy/Brother/Mother Longlegs
The name of mini version of the mutant "Proto Mold" is based off of Proto Rot from Rainworld
The Giant Tendrils (which grab people and carry them high or use spikes) are based off of the giant tentacles that The Witherstorm uses
Grapple Grubs are inspired by Grappleworms from Rainworld, I liked the stupid idiot creatures and thought they were cute
The mutant uses a lot of Witherstorm sounds actually, both are sort of similar in the sense they are moreso stage hazards
The whole idea of the spore infection was based off of Cordycepts Mushrooms from real life
I may retroactively edit this in the future if I re-remember what else inspired me lol. Contrary to popular belief this wasn't inspired by The Flood, I've barely played halo haha.
This mutant has basically been in development on and off for years, being rescripted multiple times and changed mechanically many times too. It was a nice personal challenge, taught me a lot about raycasts, cframing, and optimization (of which I still have work to do haha). It wasn't something I did all on my own though, thanks to the help of a few people I was able to vastly improve its growing capabilities. There are still things I am not happy with about the mutant, perhaps I'll revisit it more in the future.
Originally, the mutant pods were transparent and you could see the mutants inside (this also meant they were premutated). Rots are pretty laggy unfortunately thanks to the way roblox does humanoids. The Mold is missing a few silly other pureform mutants atm. I wish I could of kept the trees releasing Spore Bombs. The traps had quite a few sacrifices to be made for optimization. One of the cooler ideas that never got added was the mold was supposed to grow infinitely basically. Once it sprouted a supershroom, the supershroom would send out these giant Spore Seeds throughout the map, these would eventually turn into new Hearts and begin spreading much like the original host. This was scrapped due to the performance costs obviously. Oh and the mutant was originally gonna grow temporary tendrils towards enemies so it was a bit more dangerous but that was also scrapped for performance.
All in all, I'm proud of the creature I created, I don't think I'll ever create a better mutant.
If you think it's a cool creation, I do ask that you don't express your flattery in the form of imitation. Please refrain from just straight-up copying The Mold or making some bootleg version of it, I worked hard to create something truly unique and it's disheartening to see it shamelessly ripped off.
Would yall be interesting in seeing a longer-ish, actually edited video that is sort of like an essay on The Mold? Would talk about its development history, its mechanics, etc
y e s
Yes Please
yeah
yea
do it.
This is probably the worst fate ever, the way the host is still alive, panicking and looking around and even trying to reach out for help in his walk animation and him just fighting the infection and trying to call for a medic is just heartbreaking. you actually cooked with this mutant
glad you like the physical suffering, provided by yours truly :)
omg is that fartbott
On mold showcase 1 in the lore it wasn't strong enough to take over but instead cooperated but now it has evolved more I think it can take over the host
Fun fact atleast it isnt always in suffering pain like mutant monstrosity like even the wiki confirmed it is writhing in pain even its existence it cant even control itself atleast the mold cooperates with the host but the way that monstrosity is writhing in pain is more of a worst fate than death

You've really made this creature so intimidating and immersive, that it made me feel like I was actually on the battlefield fighting that abomination. The fear, music, and the tone of the environment is absolutely peak. You've really cooked up something special here. Keep up your grind dude, and don't burn yourself out. Take breaks when needed! 🫡
"EXCUSE ME, IM IN NEED OF MEDICAL ATTENTION!"
"HIYAGHHH" 😭😭
16:22
29:59?
“Excuse me I’m in need of medical attention!”
“HIYAGHHH”
“HELP IM PINNED DOWN”
i remember when the Proto-Mold appears i just said "i Swear these Mutants must have Evovled into something that is considered Horrors Beyond our Comprehension" in panic and fear
The wither storms theme playing in the background (Atleast I think thats what it is, correct me if I'm wrong) is such a fitting track for this Mutant
it is the wither storm theme, youre correct
Even had the wither sfx at 0:50
Wonder whats the infestation's music?
Btw mold is also the DJ
Alright cool.
Now add a neutralized Proto-Mold to Mutant Monstrosity's body
YES MAKE THIS ONE OF THE TOP COMMENTS
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
les do this
This is a magnum opus of scripting, truly. There is no other way to describe this. Perfection, down the the most Minute details- actually the tendrils need cylinders to look more realistic.. Whatever, not important. The way this mutant works is truly art. Proud of you, mario. You went from making a simple human vs mutant game, to spitter, and now this.
I love the fact he added stuff from rain world. He added the long legs dudes(just like item asylum did)
Item asylum mentioned
*grapple worm has left the chat*
*red lizards have left the chat*
@@siamsiamguite2909 there isn’t a mutant for the lizards bro
When the mold dies, it should drop a single spore, and a curious human picks it up… continuing the cycle
Oh, what a delight it seems that the MOLD is evolving
What? Zombie evolved into The mold!
oh also hi benjamin
POV: you miss that one crimson/corruption block in terraria
"Haha you flinched." What bro sent at me:
I like how after the mold dies everything what remains breaks
The mold roots expand like it's its veins slowly breathing
Rots genuinely scare the hell out of me
Peak body horror, I could imagine all the heads breathing out a thick cloud of spores, absolutely disgusting. (As it should be.)
nest walked spewer could run
spewer ran, so preceptor could sprint
perceptor sprinted so mold could fly
Wth
True. It's the hierarchy of infectious mutants that stand still. Molds the god of it.
@@wolfuniversalbreaker8516 nah perceptor is better
@@THE_OUTBREAK699are my eyes burning or did I just see you say that
You think that she better welp speaking of the mold infection
dont buy no witches brew from the gas station
i got surprised when I ended up getting this mutant in nvzrr
Right after I joined a public in NVZ testing, it had spawned on the noobs team while I was a zombie and it ended up becoming The Infestation which I guess is it’s name on the noob team and everyone on the same team as me died.
@@therobloxgamer2456 must be terrifying
@@326pickle It was because it was my first public server and my first Infestation too
I wonder what would happen if 2 Mold's fought each other.
Tendrills would kill nucleus and mold
Mold 1 : “wassup dude”
Mold 2 : “wassup”
@@paramuttwannakorn6842Real battle:
Mold 1: Please save me from this torment while I'm destroying the place
Mold 2: No, me first.
Mold 1: NO
Mold 2: 😡
_Then the battle begun._
@@Muslelord1 nah it’s gonna prolly gonna go like : mold 1 “yo you like fem bo-“
Noob Mold: yoo wanna take over the world?
Zombie Mold: sure fam
the web of tendrils and connected in the sky is the coolest visuals ever
In reality, the host would already be put down since it's gonna run around and stand for TOO long for Noobs/Zombies/Neutral teams to shoot or kill, but it's worth it since it's an entire creature that will demolish most things in the way.
Guest and chaotic army solos mold stage 4 low diff
@@Badcop-k3kspeaking FACTS
the creature that is mold pre-awakening has a LOT of health. (though i dont know how much, best to ask sick for that), so its gonna take more then a few shots
@@smartflopper still they no diff the mold
@@vyrus5587 All it takes is a few players with the right set-up lmao, it takes too long to transform into the monster we see
Bro the start before they transformation made me cry and I’m still crying with the zombie desperately calling for help someone to comfort and help him but nobody came tbh though I know this feeling all to well both in real life and in the digital world
Something about the music and the giant smiling faces on it gives me Lobotomy Corporation vibes
This is one the most insane things I’ve ever seen in a video game
Same, like holy shit
When the mold eats enough biomass it’s gonna make a mold mind
30:15 minutes lowk insane
that thing turned into an entire jungle
The mold consumes
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
this would be such a cool idea for a horror game: a PvP game that slowly devolves into an eldritch body horror shitstorm
my friends have been telling me about this, and that there will be a "mother rot" aka a huge rotling that can spawn mini rots, and i think its true now that this is published into youtube.
Yo Mario, I’ve got a boss unit idea for ya. (Other nvz devs can also use this)
Noob/zombie biohazarder
Would be between buyer and titan mutant(in the boss section) (I ain’t doin stats)
Main attack/weapon:fire a poison rocket launcher that damages in an aoe when it hits something
I’m going to get it out the way that all of his weapons/attacks turn people into mutants if he kills them (in my story, he’s canonically a boy if noobs and zombies have genders)
Second attack:fire 3 injectors out of an smaller injector gun
Third attack:spawn three noobs/zombies with injectors
Fourth attack:spawn four mutants, then weaponize them (turrets, healing machines, etc.)
Fifth attack:call an airstrike, dealing huge damage in a huge aoe, although it has an unbearable cooldown, which is why you might see him use it only once in a fight
Sixth attack:throw a gas bomb, damaging all enemies that go near it for 15 seconds.
Seventh attack:if an enemy gets close to him, he will use an injector, although it has the second longest cooldown
Death animation one:decides to activate a biohazard bomb, which blows up anyone in a radius around him, taking his life with them(has 60% chance of happening)
Death animation two:decides to stab himself, turning him into a mutant including:mutant freak, abominable mutant or smth like that, mutant sprayer(reworked), mutant spewer, precipitator(if it releases to the public), or juggernaut (the rarest)(has 40% chance of happening)
Main color palette:green and black
If you want, I can make lore for this guy
That’s my boss unit idea!
Notes:the injector noobs/zombies will only inject one non-boss or giant unit, after that, they will start stabbing with the injector
The airstrike he calls is similar to the mutant nuke in the tutorial of MTR
He has the injector gun on his back, and the injector and airstrike radio on his hips like where guns are placed on characters welding those weapons
Injectors will poison any boss or giant unit and keep the virus instead of infecting them
The injectors Biohazarder has work the same as the injectors from the injectors he spawns
Clothes:helmet with green visor(passive:see units from anywhere on the map)
Armor with green core in middle on body(passive:core shoots nearby enemies)
Armor on legs(passive:reduced damage because it’s armor)
Btw the helmet covers the entire face and head
He also has another passive where he takes less damage from mutants (and mutant titan)
Also another unit:titan mutant worm (just a dune sand worm)
A magnum opus. A cold tower of steel. War no longer needed its ultimate practioner.
I get off MTR for a YEAR AND U CREATE A SUPER VIRUS MUTANT BUT SERIOUSLY TF IS THIS UR GONNA GIVE NOOBS PTSD
I think even the zombies would be horrified-
ngl noobs also need some sort of deadly weapon
@@_infinite_88they get their own mold too
What about the guest and chaotics they wouldn't even need a powerful weapon to kill a stage 4 mold
12:06
Military: *attacks the very defensive nucleus*
Mold: *raid alarm sounds*
I actually can’t wait for this to become a thing in game, I’m so excited
im surprised your pc withstanded the sheer amount of parts the mold had it would make my pc melt😭
using the song from arc 1 story mode gives it a terrifying world ending scenario feeling. Truely fits the concept.
The way it moves reminds me of daddy long legs/Brother long legs/Terror Long Legs from rain world ngl.
Also this looks cool.
Edit, just readed the description lol.
Rain worl
@@ultimategamer2240the rot consumes.
the rots are infact, inspired by rain world.
funi slug cate vs. *THE ROT, IT CONSUMES ALL.*
@@kathiecraig2803 true
the fact that the mold was even a concept surprises me, and to now see how it works.... dear god, something I wouldn't wish upon my worst enemy
though I do question the nuclei, and how to effectively beat it, and maybe it'd also be best to do some balance testing considering how there's a badge dedicated to beating this.. thing on stage 4
wow this is acually pretty good id love to play this at some point or even help develop it
though sadly i dont know code so i cant help much there
Wow great job!
The zombie makes it look like an actual mold too, yknow
i wish there was a game with this
I just love the fact that this all started because of one Mutant. ONE BRO. A single one that made this all happened
Edit: Thanks for the four likes.
this kinda reminds me of the v8 leaks for mindustry called "the mass" which functions similar to the mold begin able to spread and create units
Is the mold ever coming back as a spawnable mutant in NVZ:RR?
There is a chance that he will comeback
This reminds me of the ever growing flesh fungus monster from still wakes then deep. And the huge walking thing reminds me of Muir’s mutant form from the same game
“I can’t wait to have a nice future”
No you wont😂😂😂😂
The mold is here.
On the zombie team, and you see a noob running his animation, trying to look for a medic and you already know what’s gonna happen
marioman73 cooking after the mold with his history and lore and creating more mutants
stealing more mutants*
@@averagehl2betafan148wdym
this thing is terrifying good work
The guest army vs the mold
Just imagining the math needed for this has my brain melting
What I feel like 2:18 abomination was saying PLS
HELP MME GOD PLS HELP ME
"WHERE IS THE FUCKING SOIL"
-The Mold, probably
Damn, the main core only just formed and it spits out a massive DLL
The DLLs are pretty well animated, tho they look suuuper performance intensive. Kids and their weak PCs aint gonna like em.
the way it grabbed the cool noob😮😮
*_THE SMELL OF ROT REACHES YOUR NOSE._*
allthough.. at the end of da universe, humming a tune
( *hmmm* *hmm.* )
This eerily reminds me of those monsters from Still Wakes The Deep...
how do you even get something this large to work in roblox 😭🙏
Im really curious as to where the crying and music came from for the guy running around
2:01 *DOMAIN EXPANSION: SELF EMBODIMENT OF PERFECTION!*
ah yes, the Turbo-Cancer
Please tell me the mold attacks everyone, doesnt matter wich team made the mutant
0:50 the wither sfx killed me
Top teir rainworld reference.
You should make some of the heads follow players or npc and then have the player getting flowed like spiked by the heads tongue, teeth or whatever else.
i would love to have that script, would easily pay for such thing
Noobs done became the mold extraction team
The stage IV Beckon under my base:
So true
The Mold Consumes
the mc story mode music fits pretty well with it in my opinion
ah yes, the lag machine mutant
allat to die to pre rework destructful
destructful could solo him if the mold Somehow does not reach that convenient corner near the zombie base 🙏
i really wanna learn how to make the spreading mechanics
"The Mold, Factory of moldy cheese."
if this was a 50 player frontline game it would be W A R
i can only imagine how many lines the modules for this thing have
as the contributor for the game, i can say that there are infact rainworld references
marioman could you give me tutorial on how to make a code that function as mold covering almost the entire map?
Infestation Spotted All combatants Respond immediately This is not a Drill a Major threat has been detected
If the update doesnt release by the end of this year im gonna cry i dont wanna go to nvzrr to look at the (new) mutants 😭😭😭😭
messing around with my own creations is something i do a lot 😊
I wanna try out the mold too i think its cool!
The mold source and veins remind me of mindustry v8 neoplasm
Istg this is actually the scariest thing I've ever seen on roblox
Bro got that "in need for the bathroom" ahh run
We getting molded with this🔥🔥🔥
The Mold is a rotten squid
He is a bio unit
The music was Minecraft story mode Wither Storm
It’s almost identical to the Storm of the wither
The host is infected with size of a big ol rot and can infect every ground and makes many rot in the skies.
It can summon mutants,
And creates a largest nest in the skies
Is this in a game? If so what is the name because i NEED to play it
Noobs vs zombies realishe reborn
Sadly It does not in they game anymore at least for now
@@Dougal-x8lDoes he know?
Check mold badge again
The fungus v.s the mold when.
Doesn't the shrieker cages it grow attracts infected
Why did it look like he was about to take a huge dump when he was running away
Can’t wait till this is on console
Uhm sorry but uh I’m pretty sure he doesn’t plan to add console anytime soon
If only
THE ROT CONSUMES
even the structures that generate in the infected terrain are identical
Oh, I am getting that ones but dude you got really buff of its health bro because I understand why it’s invincible and it’s normal form but once it transform people immediately start targeting it and it instantly dies before I can start spreading
Thats proto mold
Is the perceptor mutant and necromancy mutant still being worked on?
truly a mold moment
