      Coming in late, but I would consider that a problem to be honest. Sure, it's satisfying when you get it, but unless you're actively training to smooth out every movement tech, you ain't getting to that level any time soon. About the same problem SSB Melee has (for me, ofc). In my eyes, the tradeoff ain't worth it at all.

      I've just found this out for myself. I just got a rog ally z1 extreme and wanted to try Rain World on that. When I first started playing it, I was useless. I was easily killed by lizards (even the green one) and moving around was a problem. I persisted and can move around most of the levels like a ninja slug cat now. Not speed run level or anything like that but its very satisfying. Its an amazing game.

    This is an incredibly well made video, and I agree that Rain World’s movement system is underutilized, but I will step into the ring and argue that your points about the insanely complex moves still aren’t entirely fair, for one reason; Rain World movement physics are entirely based around procedural animation.
    The developers obviously intended for a certain amount of movement tech to be available. That becomes clear in intentional actions like rolling, flipping, and sliding. Hell, even more complicated techs like long sliding are pretty easy to discover, but difficult to master, and it’s used to great effect in speed runs already to optimize times and skip certain gaps.
    However, with procedural animation, the physics are all calculated by the game in real time, INCLUDING the physics of the player character. The majority of these ultra-difficult techs are possible because they exploit the movement engine in very specific ways.
    The amount of playtesting that was done in order to find these techs is EXTREME. The small team of developers couldn’t have possibly understood the full potential of their movement engine unless they had years of time to playtest the game themselves, which just isn’t realistic to expect of anyone. Messing with janky physics is something most developers never intended, so when you are unable to perform a frame perfect backwards-slide-flip-double-sloppy-toppy-mega-jump to skip a huge ledge, it shouldn’t be something to complain about, because the developers didn’t even know that the ultra-sloppy-toppy move could have possibly ever existed because of how unpredictable AI determined movement can be.
    Also, I think there are issues with your comparisons with Celeste and TF2:
    -Celeste has a much simpler movement system, and that simplicity allows for intense complexity, which is much easier to understand and plausible for the developers to understand. Rain World has a much more complex movement system that leads to INSANELY complex movement techs, which means there is a lot more room for error. Also, there’s no way to teleport or enhance your abilities in Rain World by design besides Grapplegrubs or Squidcada, so Celeste wins out on that department in terms of unique skips and exploits.
    -(This is what I have the most problem with) You admitted that TF2’s ultra-advanced movement is useless in normal play, but justified its existence with the abundance of community made content that utilizes it. That’s not fair to TF2 or Rain World, because suddenly, community content affects the quality of the vanilla game. For one thing, Rain World has half a million downloads while TF2 is the most popular Steam game of all time, so of course there is more community made movement tech stuff for TF2, and for another thing, Rain World DOES have community made content designed around the usage of movement techs: Aether Ridge and Deserted Wasteland are two examples I can think of that have terrain specifically designed to have lots of twists, bends, intersections, and seemingly impassable ledges that can be circumvented with the use of advanced movement tech.
    Overall, this video is great, I just disagree with some of your points. Thanks for putting out more Rain World content, people deserve to see and play this game!

      I agree with all of this. Plus, it sounded like he wanted stuff designed for the humanly impossible movement tech as well ( maybe it was just me who heard it that way), which feels kind of dumb to me as it makes it so the player would have to use bots like the ones in tool assisted speed runs to access those areas/shortcuts. Even if areas are designed with shortcuts in mind that could be used via advanced movement tech, I'd hope it'd be the tech that's actually possible for people to do.

    I think there's an issue that if the game were to require you to use its movement it would have to explicitly tutorialize it which goes against much of the games ethos of having the player learn things organically. I like your idea of introducing optional movement challenges that can benefit a capable player. Also, there's a Rain World "jump map" called Testing Simulation by LimeCultivist if you're interested.

    I think Rain World's movement system is satisfying because mastering the movement takes time. It actually reminds me of mastering Dirt Rally 2.0. Strange to compare it to an arcade sim driving game, but it's because the controls in DR2.0 are also very simple but very difficult to master.

  • @iced9579
    @iced9579 2 года назад +49

    You are certainly right about a lot of this as a lot of movement either doesn't greatly or at all matter in the end as much as routing, direct movement between locations, and understanding of the game and creatures. A lot of the problem with movement is that it isn't taught to you either making it not useful just because you probably learned it after learning how to do things without it, with combat changing greatly as well
    Speedruns and scoreruns do often use a lot of interesting movement that isn't as noticeable as the backthrows with a lot of the more interesting variants being very dependent on level design as you said too
    For the new characters yes less movement will matter for all of them but this also allows a lot more things that wouldn't be as commonly used for other characters for a better variety, having the higher base speed or a tongue both opens up and shuts down a lot of tech, much like using a different weapon in a game but still being the base character

    Some of this movement tech can be done very easily even if your not yet used to it if you use the mushroom.
    Since it slows down time the window of performing that action like a downwards spear throw which is performed via a backflip much easier. The downwards spear throw is possible even without the mushroom however. It just takes practice.
    Honestly learning how the game works and how moving and even surviving works was part of the fun.
    Even when i died a lot I was having so much fun playing.
    If you don't mind the learning curve this game has then by all means play it for yourself if you haven't already.

    i think your whole argument fails for 1 reason. most of the movements you can do in rainworld aren't actually intentional. when it comes down to it, rain world only really has a handful of real move. those advanced techs in the google doc are literally just stringing together the games inbuild systems for results the devs never accounted for. calling them actual movements in the same way as some of celeste's would be like saying a backwards long jump in mario 64 is one of the valid movements.

    I think you dont really have to be a speedruner and be perfect, so you can just stick with movements you feel cozy and have your own play style.
    And if the advansed movement would have necessity it might take out off the fun of exploration for players who dont really like to use advanced and/or precised movements.
    I d say to leave it to the beautiful moding community this game has, they surely can make maps to fully or partially utilize the movement system.

    I kinda disagree with you but the video very interesting and very well made. You made very good points and conveyed them well, which is a very good skill to have when you're making a video like this.
    Now onto my argument
    1. Celeste (I can't say anything about TF2 since I haven't played it nor watched much gameplay, yet) was very intentionally designed for its movement, as you said. But not everything was intentional. Like clips/glitches used in speed runs. It's hard to give the game credit for something it did not intend in the first place, which is why I felt iffy about you doing the opposite (giving criticism) to the movement of RW. Which, most of the movement you talked about, were unintentional by the Devs.
    2. There's a heavy focus on speed running, which isn't bad, but when critiquing a vital part of every player's experience and only ever talking about its use in runs feels odd. If that wasn't your intention, I'm sorry but that's what I got from it. Speedrunning sometimes gets rid of movement a normal player would do in game to save time or in favour of a glitch. So looking to them for what part of the movement is important in general isn't the greatest. They're good for looking for what movement is the fastest and most effective to get to their goal. Which doesn't always match what the average player is going to use.
    3. The movement doc is just showing you what's "possible" (just barely sometimes, like with the TAS one you showed). If you looked hard enough, every game probably has a similar thing. Maybe not exactly, but something that adds onto the pre existing movement. Such as the backwards speed boost in WindWaker. Is it possible? Yes. Is it used in runs? Absolutely. Is it important to the average player? No.
    4. The idea of having to use basically something that abuses the game's physics (at times) or are just downright glitches to reach an area, even if it's just optional, feels like it would cause more trouble than it's worth in the community. It's a nice idea, I agree with you on that. But as a console player, and someone who plays the game as blind as I can, I can see myself getting frustrated not being able to reach somewhere that looks interesting. Then figuring out later that I need to do a certain trick that's borderline impossible on Switch and that it isn't that worth it and I wasted my time. I can imagine more skilled players being able to go there no problem but find out it's just a pearl and being a bit disappointed. Maybe if it's super out of the way and obscure it would work better? I still like the idea of rewarding skilled players but it's a tricky route.
    I hope you didn't mind and I didn't come off as rude or anything! Just pointing out some things I thought about but feel free to dispute this with me! I'm always open to just being completely wrong.
    Again, great video. I do like your what makes good movement categories.

      @happy_amoeba Год назад +3

      YES! YES TO EVERYTHING YOU SAID! I don't get critiquing the movement system and world for not utilizing the unintended glitches, ESPECIALLY given many of these glitches are essentially impossible for a human to do. If he critiqued certain glitches that got in the way of normal movement, that I'd understand, but it sounds like they are impossible for an actual person to do on purpose, let alone on accident! Why would you make hidden areas/shortcuts that could only be reached using glitches that could only be done by the bots used for tool assisted speedruns?

    • @satinizer8021
      @satinizer8021 Год назад +4

      i have exactly same thoughts as you. also RW's movement is determined by AI in real time, that's why you have to be very precise with your timing to perform a certain trick and that's why there are so many possibilities for different movements; doing the same thing but timing it differently can give entirely different results. and i really don't like the video's focus on speedrunning and "hidden areas" because... Rain World is not a game like that. it's not a speedrun platformer, it's not a quest fetching game, it doesn't have any high rewards for going out of your way. it's a survival ecosystem simulator. all the tricks don't have to have a use in speedruns, but they can have a use in casual game because they allow you to reach certain areas easier or skip some annoying parkour.

  • @deadman3824
    @deadman3824 Год назад +5

    Well made though the video is, I feel like it's unfair: Rain World's movement system is perfect, because half of these techs look like things (and as admitted in the video, probably are) not actually intended techs. You say in the video, repeatedly, that a game should make you use those movement techs, either as base gameplay or as a speedrun tactic, but I am willing to bet that 90% of that google docs is stuff that's made through exploits in the physics engine and not actual intended gameplay mechanics. Like, I do not believe for a second that the developers intentionally included an extended jump that requires you to throw an object backwards while sliding and doing a frame perfect jump.
    Judging Rain World's system based on what could essentially be called bugs or exploits is like saying Mario 64s movement is flawed because people can do hyperspeed wall kicks or backwards long jumps. It's not intended in the game, so *obviously* they aren't going to have sections that require it, in normal gameplay or speedruns.

  • @satinizer8021
    @satinizer8021 Год назад +6

    in RW, slugcat's movement, just like every creature's, is determined by AI in real time. no creature has scripted movement, even the slugcat, except for the basic right, left, up, down, jump, pick, throw. the rest depends a lot on what's your environment, your speed, timing, etc. there's no button for a backflip, there's no button for a slide, you have to figure it out by yourself.
    and i don't really think all the cool tricks have to have a use in speedruns? they have a use in the base game when you're just enjoying yourself. not everything has to be about completing the game as fast as possible. and most people learn the advanced movements just because they're useful in specific areas and they save a lot of time once learned (like throwing spear downwards at the top of The Wall, or throwing spear upwards to hit Dropwigs, some jumps allow you to skip annoying parkour), or simply because it's fun and they want to.
    also i know this video is quite old and downpour has been released, but they did exactly what you said; every single new slugcat has an entirely different map. Rivulet has to be fast because during his time the rain is nearly constant and you have to utilze your speed without wasting time. Artificer has a lot places with very high/far jumps because she can double jump. i especially like that they actually gave Saint's campaign a lot of rooms with flat ceilings that you can swing across. there are also a lot of slopes you have to "tongue climb". and Saint's tongue doesn't make anything easier, given his campaign is filled with aggressive enemies (especially during the ending) AND he can't fight back and gets seizures from the snail pop lmao

    From the lens that Rain World is a speedrunning game, I agree, when only a handful of the moves are used in the WR, there is little need for the other moves. But Rain World is a survival exploration game. Considering the myriad situations a player can get themselves stuck in, thanks to spawns that are difficult to predict and physics based enemy movement, these moves can be more seen as a utility belt that the player can bust out in the correct situation. More mastery is therefore rewarded through a higher survival rate.
    While I do agree that the movement system is technically not perfect, it's unfair to say that there is a "problem". This is because most of these movement mechanics are emergent from systemic design rather than intentionally put in by the developers. It's also unfair to expect the developers to account for every possible movement option in tutorials spread throughout the game, and unfair on the average player to remember/execute each one for necessary progression through the game. If we were to alternatively remove moves that the slugcat could perform, because they are too niche/difficult this results in less player skill expression and less fun (imo). Therefore I would argue that the pursuit of a perfect movement system for this game would result in a worse game overall.
    But sure, it's not "perfect".

  • @jevmenyt3422
    @jevmenyt3422 2 года назад +9

    some funky moves have niche uses, however many of them will never have an actual use, and i doubt putting so much thought in level design only for 0.1% to have an use for a pretty useless move would be pretty unnecesary.
    I gess the best for that would be for someone to make a custom region unique for movement lovers putting profesional movements into the mandatory path, but adding those to vanilla will make some players feel annoyed by being forced to learn a pixel perfect moves to access something.
    for example, rain world server has a bunch of challenges for roles, there is 1 which is 100% centered about movement, ppl cares so little about movement and have so little interest the reception on that challenge wasnt very positive at first when ppl thought they were forced to use the profesional moves, fortunely any tools are allowed, so everyone uses a grapple worm or cicada to do it, i have seen only 1 person actually use movement to do that challenge, which was the person who suggested the challenge to begin with.
    overall, profesional rain world movement is very niche, not even speedrunners use most of the moves, the movement doc is kind of a "hey check this funny movement that has no practical use in vanilla" and the game isnt really centered about that.
    the farthest rain world movement goes is to skip using a cicada in sky islands if you know medium difficulty moves.
    The hardest move i have seen having an actual use is to get atop 1 of the sky islands towers by using a funky pole move without needing a mandatory cicada.

    - Most players aren't good enough: Well they better get good, cause they bought the game that made videogame critics spontaneously combust.
    - Tech isn't used: That changes really fast when you're at the top of The Wall with no spears, when the rain is coming, or when you have a short rain timer and every moment counts. Also, tech helps a LOT with dodging and dealing increased damage more often. You don't have to be good at the tech to play the game, avoiding those situations, but it makes the game more replayable as you go back along more difficult routes that are faster, but more dangerous.
    - Using Rivulet's speed alone every time with no tech is going to get Ruffles rained on.
    - Saint's tongue can be janky sometimes in corridors, and where there are no ceilings or walls, it's useless and you must rely on normal movement tech.
    - All clips in this video show how the slugcat can die when they don't use movement tech. All deaths during this video, very little tech was used to dodge or counterattack, and vice versa.
    - It feels so good to get movement tech right.

  • @prototypelq8574
    @prototypelq8574 Год назад +7

    I am kind of glad that a lot of these advanced movement techniques are not required to play the game efficiently.
    First of all - the game is already hard enough for new players, if you include parkour skill into the learning curve it will become even more steep and I don`t think the game needs that, there are challenges and more skill-oriented characters in Downpour if you want that.
    Secondly, I think this fits the world quite nicely. All the creatures in game have vastly different movement abilities, and they too need to climb different surfaces and levels, so the amount of poles and tunnels is extremely useful to them and to slugcats. Rainworld`s main thing is that the game world doesn not resolve around the player, it lives completely on its own and does not care for your wellbeing whatsoever. To make platforming sections more challenging would mean to account for the player skill level, and would limit the movement abilities of creatures ( or, y`know, make pretty much all of them fly which to me looks a little like the developers shrugging and giving up, and I can`t blame them here).
    I am currently in the Chimney Canopy, and there is one one vertical room you need to go through to start climbing the tower, and I`ve lost amount of times lizards literally rained down on me off-screen there, because there`s also a lot of vultures and scared liards are bad at climbing. So yeah, I am glad that advanced parkour is not really utilised in game world.
    Also it makes mastering these moves feel like breaking the game a little.

  • @beemaack
    @beemaack 9 месяцев назад +1

    I don’t think a movement system needs to be “important” to be perfect.
    It seems more like the movement system isn’t perfect in your eyes because you don’t see value in learning the types of tech that are too impractical for speedrunning or a casual playthrough.
    But there’s still value in learning the deepest parts of the movement system just for the sake of it if that’s someone’s cup of tea.
    The way I see it, Rain World’s movement system *is* perfect because it provides all the depth needed regardless of what approach you take:
    * You barely need any advanced techniques at all for a casual playthrough
    * You only need a handful of advanced techniques to successfully speedrun,
    * Everything beyond that is for the people who like to experiment and learn in the lab.
    In short, it’s perfectly fine for things to just be neat curiosities that don’t have practical applications
    Besides, the deeper the tech goes, the more expressive play can become for those interested in learning!

Its a design mistake. The developers thought they were being smart but it's just pure inevitably inefficient bs. Oh and also the forced stop on ledges like you can do in minecraft, I wouldn't mind it if all the ledges were crystal clear but we all know they're not. So many deaths because ledges are simply shorter than its actual design and the corrections is so simple...I can 100% tell u if those 2 mechanics were in the game when it launched the reviews would be waaaaaay better. Gamers should just stop mistaking bad design with fair difficulty.

    When I was looking through that movement document, it strangely reminded me of Hoompty's videos about all the weird tricks you can pull off with League of Legends champions. My reaction to both of these things were pretty much: "Wow that's extremely cool, but... I'm never going to see this actually getting used, am I?"
    As someone who doesn't really play 2D platformers outside of Rain World (except that one weird game with the cloning guy on Xbox that I've finished around 10 years ago), it was pretty interesting to hear you analyzing all the problems with this. I honestly don't think this really has a negative impact on a game's overall quality, it just simply doesn't really do anything for the actual experience that 99% of players will have.
    The only real purpose of the advanced movement tech is to allow players to show off, and to allow developers to put in future Easter eggs that require you to utilize them (I'd argue the jellyfish unlock in Shoreline would count here, even though you can bring in a mushroom or a squidcada to negate the difficulty). Which I'd argue is enough to justify them, especially because you can still have moments where you accidentally pull an advanced trick off, which fills me with a lovely surge of emotions (also, the Easter egg part can't even exist in League, so yeah).

    Check out Aether Ridge - it's probably designed the way you're imagining. It has several 'one-way' areas, where the geometry of the room makes it 'impossible' to travel in the unintended direction... but only if you're using basic movement. With advanced movement, you can almost travel anywhere you want, as well as find several secrets. There are also some colored pearls placed in locations where it feels like there's no intended way to reach them, which forces players to use the breadth of their movement knowledge to accomplish something that otherwise feels impossible.
    And colored pearls in vanilla have the potential for the slightest flex in movement abilities. I think of the red pearl in Farm Arrays in the giant pipe room, where there's a jump that's impossible to make with normal movement tech. You can get there by bringing a squidcada over, or you could use a number of different movement tech options.
    And I think using movement tech to solve open-ended platforming problems is the most Rain World-y way of doing movement. Designing it like a platformer with specific jumps being necessary would feel out of place in a world that needs to feel like it wasn't built for a slugcat, but having a ledge that's just too high to reach that you have to find your own way up fits in the procedural style of the rest of the gameplay.
    ...though any% doesn't use too much movement tech as it's almost entirely moving downwards. A speedrun like pebbles% uses much more, same with 100%. I think the real shame is that guardian skip is possible, which makes any% a bit boring, imo.

RW is about survival and exploration, and maybe lore if you're up to run after the pearls and Echos, but it's not about getting physically rewarded. your reward is that you survived. also idc if it would be optional, it's never nice to exclude a part of your players only because a certain movement to reach certain area is impossible on console. if some area is impossible to reach because of the controls you use, it wouldn't be a good game

    @romanchasteen3562 Год назад +1

    Respectfully sir, I disagree with the idea that 'most of the movement is unnecessary' is a bad thing. After all, that is how most skills work in real life.
    For example, when learning to sew, you will find many videos and resources showing many (MANY) types of stitches, advertising that you must learn all of them. In reality, I only use a few the majority of the time.
    When learning how to cook, people will tell you to get a knife block with, like, 20 or more different kinds of knives in it. I rarely use more than a chef's knife. The rest are unnecessary.
    Rain World has many movement options, yes, but only a few are nessesary. Similar to sewing and cooking, and (from what I've been told), playing an instrument, you only need to learn a few options to do decently well. This lowers the skill floor for new players, and raises the skill ceiling for veterans, because there are so many new things to learn to up your skill that extra little bit. This is also how Olympic athletes win the gold- they start out learning the basics, and make skill gains quickly at first. Over time, skill progress slows to a crawl. But that crawl edges them out to be the best of the best.
    To put it another way, there is a Ted talk about the 20 Hour Rule (where most of this comment comes from). It takes 20 hours of deliberate practice to learn a new skill decently well. It takes 10,000 hours to become the best of the best. Rain world simulates this excellently.

    I know this is an old video, but as someone who loves the game to death, has put 250 hours into it, and has played both pre and post Downpour, I have to agree with the points in this video. A lot of the stuff in the movement tech doc, besides definitely not being intended by the devs, never really sees practical use. Heck, before Downpour, I can’t recall one instance where I was forced to do things like a downthrow besides, like, The Wall gate into Five Pebbles. I literally felt so fricking surprised and excited when I had to use a downthrow to reach a random vista in Expedition mode- I have gotten down things like slidepounce-rollpounce comboes to move relatively quickly, but…even before I knew that stuff I was doing pretty decently at just surviving. The movement system is very satisfying once you learn it, but yeah, a lot of stuff does not get used enough.

    there are some shortcuts that are already in the game like wall - five pebbles or wall - much else of exterior, however your point is still taken as these are few and far between with the two aforementioned being the only ones i know of.

    I would like to see a tutorial that is split into 3 or 4 parts.
    Part 1: Intendet movents.
    Part 2: Tricks that are based on that movement and are usefull in the game.
    Part 3: All the other stuff that is most likely only usefull for speedruns.
    Part 4 (or 3.1): Everything beyond speedruns.

    Yep, You explore and discover the movement possibilities, pickup the ones you find uses, the same as you explore the world,
    not made as a fast paced speedrun, even if you glitch your way to go fast, this is at its core a cinematic platformer where you explore and take your time

    you think the dev's knew bout the extended-slide-flip-bounce-throw-boost-jalopy-moppy-pounce-roll or whatever?

      Yeah, most movement techs were definitely intended, most couldn't just be improvised, maybe some physics-based ones could, but the back-flip for example, is definitely intended

    I personally feel that the reason the movement can get as advanced as it can is so that long time players will be rewarded for the time and effort they put into mastering the game. While new players don't get immediately get forced out (the game is hard enough as it is) And what I mean by this is that it is not needed at all for the old players to use the advanced movement systems, the game would be playable just not impossible for the new players to play. it is just expanded movement for the people who want to learn to do it.

    each character already has their own speedrun category, the maps from downpour are heavily contributed to by popular modders within the community (so movement tech will def be used) and the game does care about its speedrunning community, in the upcoming remix update they added toggles to some fixed exploits speedrunners used jus so they could keep using them if they wanted to
