I like how alpha soundtrack has little to no story atmosphere, just active sounds to cheer player to keep moving, as Rain World was supposed to be just a fun survival RPG game back then.
And then it evolved... Honestly, there's a high chance that Rain World wouldn't have anywhere near as big and dedicated community if it stayed this way!
Don’t forget: they used to be called bears and it almost stayed that way. Also slugpups used to exist before the devs decided it would be too difficult to manage. So we went years without slugpups because of one decision
Slugpups aren’t in this build sadly but maybe the devs have an old build lying around that does. Would be interesting to see how far along they were before being scrapped.
entrances have to be one tile deeper into the ground/wall/ceiling, thats why your level didnt work. a functional entrance is indicated by it turning into an arrow
guys i got an idea. If they add lizard eggs, it’s to either eat them or hatch them. If we hatch them, i think we should get some baby lizards and they would become adults after like 5-10 cycles, BUT during these cycles, what about you could make them learn and give them special abilities . Per exemple, if you go in water and swim enough with your lizard, they could learn how to swim fast or even dive for some time(can’t breathe under water) or if you make a baby green lizard climb enough poles (there babies so there not too heavy to climb) they will learn to climb as adults! the only thing is if you dont practice there skills, they could loose some aptitudes such as if you chill in a shelter for all your cycles with a pink and never climb poles, they will never learn and never know how to do so. So capabilities should be pre-learned such as wall climbing , camouflage , leaping or tonguing. Another funny mutations could be stuff like you make them vegetarian by only feeding them fruits or you make them eat a lot of a certain item so that they learn to spit it (can’t do that with spears. It would spear them from the inside and kill them). Last would be relations, grownup lizards would fear creatures you ran away when they were children and fight the one you would hunt. Your scavenger reputation would also influence their behaviour in front of scavs. Have a high reputation and your baby lizard wont hurt scavengers but have a low reputation and they will fight back and since the lizard is a baby, the scavengers wouldn't instantly attack and would rather be peaceful as long as the baby doesn't attack (which only happen if you have a bad reputation)
I need whatever that option where the slugcats are jammed up against each other in a pipe in the current game. 4:11. Player collision is next level annoying when it comes pipes.

love how rain world's alpha soundtrack is more akin to that of jet set radio than rain world
ah yes the "it may jam their circuits" theory. my beloved
Biomechanical moment
I haven’t heard of that is that an actual theory based on one line in this alpha
wait what theory
@@frana6640 I assume that lizards were supposed to be bio-mechanical? If so it is _probably_ retconned by now.
@@NovaAge yeah now I just think they have such square heads because of bio engineering
i really like the crunchy old sounds

this version looks really charming and cute, i love the look of the slugs
They're scugs

@@Nonethey probably do, from the dev logs they stuck with that idea as the main mechanic of the game for quite a long time iirc
“:3” - slugcat
Inspiring
Yooooo, this pearl world game looks pretty cool.
I wonder what it'll be like when it comes out of alpha
I think the bubbles are just an early version of snails, it seems to make sense.
I think the wiki says that too
Did those lizards have saint's karma 10 eyes?
those were the original eye colors, then they got removed and reused as Miros bird flashbanged eyes
entrances have to be one tile deeper into the ground/wall/ceiling, thats why your level didnt work. a functional entrance is indicated by it turning into an arrow
The level editor itself wouldn't output any images even with the corrections. Thanks for the tip though, was able to fix my shortcuts with it.
3 days later he came out with this masterpiece
I think it's interesting to see what the game was like when it was first conceived (it has a really different feel to it)
I want eggs back :(
same (imagine you can do omelettes with them as gourmand)
@@alexandrolamy9645 I NEVER THOUGHT OF THAT THAT’S GENUSES

@@alexandrolamy9645 originally lizard eggs could be both eaten and hatched so we’re already halfway there
That room in the intro reminds me of the room with the dropwig
It would be cool if bubble barnicles were in the coral Caves in the Watcher dlc
I've always wanted to see a video on the alphas! thanks!
YOU CAN FRONTALLY PEN LIZARDS IN ALPHA 8???
Someone should mod the bubbles back in
this is pretty awesome! I had no idea the alphas were publicly available.
omg slugs from the past
fun fact i'm watching it 8 hours after relece
The game was more retro in atmosphere than it is now
I more than like the release one though
this looks and sounds like a flash game
It was! it was coded in flash director.
would be a great idea to crack those open with adobe director or some kind of asset extraction tool.

Where i can download RW_alpha8
Hey!... wait a minute... this was before I was built... what? How do you have access to times long past?
It's called a fourth wall break, NSH.
My guess is some sort of old AI that looks at the analytics of the past and rebuilds a playable simulation of what it might have looked like
how do you play these versions of rainworld where can you get them?
How’d you get access to these?
Edit: is there some public archive of these that I don’t know of?
If theres anywhere i can download this, i would love if you shared 🙏
In what way did you get alpha 8?
I'm really curious
James Primate shared it a few years ago. You can find the download on the Internet Archive and the Rain World discord
@@None thx :)
And... How can you play such version?? 😞
What’s the name of the song you used in the beginning? I’ve been trying to find it but nothings shown up 😭
