rain worl

– Some things you should know about the game and me –

  • PLEASE BE WARNED that this game is currently a buggy mess and is still a HEAVY WIP!
  • Why I made it public in its current state is because I don’t have any testers to gather feedback from. It’s also because I want to make a place where people can hangout and mess around!
  • I AM A solo developer. All code is written by me, all animations are made by me. The only things I haven’t made are the models (except most of the Slugcat models), meshes, sounds and images/art, which are all credited down in the credits section respectfully
  • I AM NOT a high end and skilled developer. Please don’t view me as one because I’m still learning. I’m very slow and lazy, and I’m not very familiar with OOP yet

– Warnings aside, –

  • I’m basing this fangame on the Arena Competitive gamemode from Rain World
  • Of course I’m going to add some twists! /gen
  • I do want to add some hangout friendly features in the future too! (for example, a no pvp option)
  • This is PURELY a passion project. I WILL NOT MONETIZE THIS FANGAME WHATSOEVER as I am using assets from Rain World, and I just simply love Rain World a lot!
  • MOBILE AND CONSOLE SUPPORT is unfinished, pc is my main focus.
  • You can find the game here! Precipitation Arena - Roblox

– Credits –

  • Emotes by Opashoo (I took their silly scug animations, copied them almost frame by frame into 3d)
  • Cameron - Roblox made the Cover/Icon and the Mobile Crawl Button icon for this game!
  • cinnamon - Roblox made both the Mobile Drop Button Icon and Mobile Meow Button for this game!
  • Lamp3rt - Roblox made two cool thumbnails!!
  • inv - Roblox made one of the cool thumbnails!!
  • fairy - Roblox made one of the cool thumbnails!!
  • Yuro - Roblox made one of the cool thumbnails!!
  • impeterklaus made one of the cool thumbnails!!
  • Radi - Roblox modeled Artificer and Saint, and made the art for some of the mobile button icons
  • Meow sound effects are sampled by the Rain Meadow Mod on Steam!
  • And finally Rain World, I’m using sounds and some images from the game.
  • Music by James Primate (To James Primate, please reach out to me on TikTok (rhexicon) if you want it taken down)

yikes uhmmhm, it’s been more than a whole month since an update??
sorry, I think I’ve caught a bad case of developer’s block. I’m trying to get past it though

I’m not sure when I’ll get back on development, BUTTT maybe give me a week or two

The lobotomy update

V1.5

hehe the lobotomy update…
not the biggest update, but it’s at least something!
(thank you for 1 MILLION VISITS BTW!! that’s such a big number my brain can’t even comprehend it)
here’s what’s new:

  • TOOOBS!!! Pipes now exist in the temporary map to get around areas (if you encounter a bug, report it on my group wall WITH instructions on how to reproduce it)

  • You can now throw items downwards or upwards
    ^ Look downwards, backflip and throw an item to throw it downwards and vice versa

  • You now maintain your speed when jumping, so jumping after turning around (not backflipping) will give you a small speed boost

  • Added Five Pebbles Slugcat

  • Added accessories to all Slugcats (this was supposed to be for halloween but I guess you can consider this as jollymaxing)

  • Cleaned up some code

  • And some more that I can’t remember!

  • Shut down servers

Pole mechanics & Meowing

V1.7

It’s been a while, again. teehee :3
Pole mechanics has been an obstacle for me (causing tons of bugs and causing me demotivation)
but I’ve finally gotten over it, of course it’s still rather buggy but I think it’s good enough to be released to the main game
as a compensation for the long delay, I also added push to meow! (meow sfx sampled by Rain Meadow Mod on Steam)
Here’s the update log:

  • New pole mechanics! You can now climb on poles, spin, do a little swing dance on top or below poles, and (very hard to do however) pole boost!
    General Controls: Hold jump to latch onto poles, Hold any movement key to move up on poles and turn, Hold jump to move down on poles
    While on top of poles: Move around to lean
    While below poles: Hold jump and move around to swing

  • Added Push to meow! Press V to Meow (meow sfx sampled by Rain Meadow Mod on Steam)

  • Added a new emote! /e lie to lie down!

  • New Mobile Button icons! Refer to the Credits to know who made them!

  • Changed Saint’s tongue material

  • Removed Slugcat Accessories (they will come back occasionally)

  • Fixed some bugs

  • And probably more changes that I can’t list at the top of my head!

Remember, if you find any bugs especially regarding the new pole mechanics, please report it on my group!
