HEYOOOOOO! Can you tell I was hyped for this one? Super excited to be given the chance to try it out early! :D If you want to support my work, I have a game on Steam! it's called Horoscopicus! Also consider becoming a channel member (Unlocks Cool emotes! ) Thank you! :)
@@lolight2 I wonder if the world is the the post of a drought. The rain mainly makes me think this because where I live, we went through a drought (and going through another rn) and when a lot of heavy rain came down, we'd get floods because the ground below was too stiff and conditioned for a drought and would reject the water.
Hello! Drought Team here! For everyone confused about the mod not being available yet on Steam Workshop - this is an early access preview! Just a little bit longer~
(Also, hey uh, is it gonna be compatible with other slugcat mods, and or the main cast of slugcats? I don't wanna lose all access to my other slugcats please.
Yeah that’s the thing about sbcamerascroll… lots of Rainworld modders hate it because it can mess with camera angles, it can cause those tears, random black spots in the level where there isn’t meant to be a camera normally, wierd palette fading. We modders seriously hate camerascroll. I totally understand the appeal though. It’s so much better gameplay wise so I don’t blame you at all
In this case I talked to the developers about it and they weren't opposed to me using it, just warned me that it might break a couple rooms so I should disable it for those (I didn't reach those rooms in this video, just got a couple of them with weird tearing)
Their jump ability is basically Arti’s double jump ability, but it’s better for traversing. Also the 3 lines on their tail probably also represents the amount of extra jumps.
Oh I didn't notice that! That's a good eye for detail :o This mod was made way before artificer, so I guess it would get dibs on the similar ability :P That said, I think they are different enough that both will be fun to play in their own ways ^^
I really like the Special mechanics. The Jump ability is cool but the Rain Bursts is the most interesting. Usually the only time you see Rain is when your out of time or if it's a pre-cycle. But since Rain bursts are a thing you need to think of where to go to find cover from the rain.
The rain bursts really impressed me too! I think something that's also impressive is the custom creatures they added, but I didn't include them in this video since they are being worked on currently ^^
To be fair, I've not been in the fandom long enough to know of the original, but this is a really good mod, and now I'm really excited to see it be done at some point!
I knew something was up the moment you and blujai entered the drought server! I can't wait for the official drought release, I've been so hyped ever since I saw some videos on 1.5 version since I never got to play it (joined RW after downpour was released)! If I were a slugcat, I'd be Wawaing the outskirts threat theme, not from fear, but from pure excitement!
@@lolight2 Yup! And if I'm being honest, one of the reasons why I checked workshop every day is to see if drought released, even though I knew there would probably be an announcement on youtube or discord (or both)
THIS MOD :0 If I remember correctly it's previous version was the first fan campaign ever made. And it was a nightmare to install it. And now you just need to pick it in workshop 🛐 I can finally play it
AYYYYY huge Drought fan here! Didn't get to play the original myself but I have watched multiple playthroughs of it! Here are the changes if you're curious! - The 1st region got SO re-worked, I have no idea if it was always named Forest Sanctuary but mannn, back then it was SO HARD to tell the black stripped slugcat from all the foliage, it's not a problem now! I'm surprised they did this, I honestly thought the custom region would've stayed the exact same. I wonder if the custom creatures are staying in too - Triple jump!! That's new!! Back then you could only do one slow down and one jump from said slow down. The rings that came out of the jump is new too! Don't really like the food pip mechanic especially in Sky you don't exactly get a lot of food unless they've re-worked that region as well but you win some and you lose some - Yep, Drought always had more rain haha. And yeah it's very ironic that a mod named Drought is just more rain cycles. But eh Drought is an AU, name what you wanna name, as long as modders and players have fun with it I honestly still cannot get over the starting region, it's so much more diverse and like an actual region now when back then it just felt like a long hallway. I wonder if they did world changes to other downpour timelines too or is it just one campaign?
YES ITS BACCK !!! i wasnt able to play it before downpour came out because setting up the mod was so difficult and kept breaking thanks to the old mod loader BUT NOW I CAN FINALLY EXPERIENCE IT AFTER LONG LAST !!!!!
I haven’t played the original, (I wasn’t in the Rain World community yet :[ ) but I’ve watched people play it and I can’t wait to try it once it’s out.
like a year or so ago i wanted to find a vid with clear music from this mods ver of moons general systems bus and couldnt find it, if anyone is wondering turns out that the music file is actually in downpour files, its called gutleut it is also when i found out that the WRWWR WRRRRR WWRWRWR sound of rarefaction cells at work is done ingame "on spot", the sound looped for it is quite different
I started playing rainworld way after this mod stopped working. Seeing it not forgotten is nice. Seems it also got some upgrades nice, I will definitely play it once it releases
Man oh man am I excited for this. Sorry I can’t watch the video now as I really don’t want spoilers but one question. You might not be able to tell quite yet but how “finished” would you say it looks? Sorry if that is a vague/hard question. I just haven’t heard much on that front.
Fun fact! The reason why there is so little rainfall in deserts is because warmer air has a higher capacity for holding water vapor than colder air does. Because it takes more water vapor for that warm air to become saturated, you're less likely to reach the point where there's enough condensed vapor to form clouds. Inversely it's easier for there to be enough water for rainfall in colder climates because the air can't hold as much water vapor at those cooler temperatures.
I wonder if they plan on making any changes to the story of this mod, since the original version was about Wanderer delivering a pearl containing the instructions for the mutation that led to the creation of FP’s rot, something now confirmed to have been done by Spearmaster (in fact, I always thought Spearmaster’s campaign was directly inspired by Wanderer, as the two are extremely similar, but I am not sure which was conceived first, so could be a lucky coincidence). It would be interesting if Wanderer’s pearl now contained an entirely different message, maybe even at another point in the timeline.
Since it's a port - I think they aren't gonna change anything, and will just make it an AU alongside DP. Makes sense, but let's wait for release to see
In More Slugcats lore, Spearmaster is the 7th slugcat to have been genetically engineered by Seven Red Suns. It is vague about whether Spearmaster delivered the original pearl, or if it was one of their predecessors. Drought lore is compatible with this since Wanderer can be interpreted as a Spearmaster predecessor. That being said, Drought lore doesn't acknowledge More Slugcats so it's a bit of a moot point.
It is not canon to downpour lore- I asked whether drought will use DP moon or old drought moon, and the devs responded that drought isn't canon to DP, so it won't use DP moon.
It is the mod that I wanted! I waited for it for a long time, that mod is good, but it is different, the place where it appears is not the same as the one I have seen, but yes, it is the same slugcat
(Before viewing) ARE YOU KIDDING????? IS THE DROUGHT BACK!? (Mid view) 5:00 These dots are additional rain.... Somehow it doesn’t fit with the name, Idk (Do you want a joke? I came across a Wanderer in the slugcat generator! He had the same name, history, ability. I’m shocked) (End viewing) Thank you for telling me this news :D New turn to return to 1.5)
Oh no, it was a mod that existed before the downpour expansion, when that came out every older mod became outdated/broken with the only way to play then either being downgrading the version of the game, or wait for a port like this one :p
Ok but for real, I've been looking forward to this port for a while - I only started playing after Downpour so I never experienced this mod, but I've heard a lot about it. Does anyone know if it's more of a straight port of the original or a remake? Like, has the lore been reworked to fit into the Downpour timeline, or are they just keeping it as a separate canon? Not to spoil for those who don't know the story, but it had a lot of accidental overlap/direct conflicts with what we see in Spearmaster's campaign.
not a straight port its very different. also a separate canon from msc despite being compatible with the mod. i didnt work on the lore though so take it with a grain of salt.
hey guys, so i just became the person who made up the like that makes 200, therefore i shall make it a big deal and comment about my placement for some reason!
Hey, got a small question for you If you could advocate for consoles/switch getting modding support for rain world, would you? (Speaking as a rain world for switch player.))
I do advocate for it of course, but unfortunately I am also aware that it is somewhat of a technical limitation preventing then from it being possible :\ Maybe if they developed a mod browser of sorts...
@lolight2 if I could, i'd get (almost) every mod you've showcased, as they look interesting and most likely improve the experience by a lot. Well, fingers crossed that they find a way to add mod support for consoles Especially xbox which is essentially just a pc, since i'd rather play rainworld on my xbox tbh but I could only get it on switch.
@@Blighty-Creator-of-the-realms. If you really want to stick with "console" and don't want to wait, I have managed to get mods working on the Steam deck in the past :)
@lolight2 ah, wish I had a steamdeck, unfortunately I recently got this movement shooter called "Trepang2", became my favourite game So I can't afford one Hoping to god I can get a laptop soon though, that should work, right?
HEYOOOOOO! Can you tell I was hyped for this one? Super excited to be given the chance to try it out early! :D

Ok
Tes :)! Hi Also Nice and Thanks!!
When does the drought mod take place
> "Drought"
> look inside
> water
Maybe it's raining so much here that every other region is a desert 💀
Parabox

It’s dry water
Hello! Drought Team here!
For everyone confused about the mod not being available yet on Steam Workshop - this is an early access preview! Just a little bit longer~
EEEEEEEEEEEE ADD NEW LIZOR
PLEASE, THANK YOU, I LOVE THIS SLUGCAT MOD BUT CAN'T PLAY IT DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO GET OLDER MODS TO WORK.

I much prefer Screen Peak over sbcamerascroll. It's manual and more in the spirit of the game.

Returned and improved too! Apparently there are even some future updates planned, can't wait to see what they do :D
Wow! I'm so glad this mod returned, now everyone who couldn't play it can now get it on the workshop!

But when it does rain it rains *hard,* enough to flood.
I genuinely thought Wanderer was a Rain Escape exclusive slugcat. How wrong I was.
