raocow's talkhaus

Crow, I have a question: ⚠ do not open blind ⚠ Has the DLC added another path, or is there still just the path beneath the citadel? I have to imagine there's something, right? there's no new paths related to where raocow needs to be going, no. technically there's a new connection between garbage wa...

re: above (definitely spoilers) the guide is really good during the first leg of the journey bcuz 1. the dynamic difficulty is way down so it guides more frequently 2. there's a fairly linear net of regions to get from outskirts to shoreline. the second leg it legit just wants to take you one region...

todays vibe is Fragments! i love this one. pipeyard consistently has some of the best music in the game i swear

today's jam is Threat - Pipe Yard! i have no other comments we just got to see some pipeyard today

today's vibe is Garbage Worms which i'm pretty sure showed up one of the other two times rao went this way but didn't today but it's fine

also very minor map update to add a new connection.

as a sidenote, Industrial Complex becomes the first region rao has found all possible connections for.

today's vibe is Rain from Rain World

eyup

in which pipeyard makes my mapping job incredibly hard by not making sense in 2D space (rain world is a 2D representaton of a 3D space so i get it but)

today's jam is Veiled Northstar even though the funny part of me wants to make it Rain (the song that played when rao first entered pipeyard) also rao is like, the only first-time player i've seen be this much a natural at swimming lol. anyways map update coming soon but i need to figure out how to ...

today's jam is Threat - Sky Islands and boy howdy is it ever

also, this song was in betterified 6! truly we have come full cycle

yeah sky islands absolutely wins the most improved award from basegame to downpour imo, but it's still ROUGH

todays vibes are Lovely Arps. i should be calling more of these mellower tunes vibes not jams

and yeah breaking into sky islands can be A Bit Of A Thing ahah. will update the map appropriately, anyways

today's jam is Sky Sprite which showed up yesterday but we got no new tunes today so

i am going to continue not explaining things now

today's jam is Threat - Chimney Canopy , groovy theme for slug uppies i will update the map in a bit, tho i think i will need to abstract this one out as an upright rectangle rather than a horizontal one given its, uhh, nature changed my mind i can't get it to look good it's fine rain world is a pla...

today's jam is Bio-Engineering bcuz, screw it, Urban Jungle stole its spotlight by being so long that it overlapped the trigger point and this song rules so nyeh

also! a special surprise today :3

today's jam is Mist Engine bcuz, frick it, it's the only option i have lol. rao deftly avoided he music trigger for a better song so i can't use it. for now

also, the abstract map is starting to get a bit less abstract by necessity

today's jam is Garbage City Shuffle!

oh hey, first instance of looping back somewhere we've already been! the map has been updated to reflect this, along with a bit more context of the shaded/shoreline connection now that rao's seen a good bit of the latter

today's jam and/or bop is The Captain

this is only a bad rain world day in the context of this, raocow's extremely easygoing rain world experience lmao the average first-time player would kill to have a day this good

I am aware this is a zero spoiler playthrough, but I just realized a concern that I'm not sure if it should be followed up on or not: I recall doing some reading that the colored gems like the one raocow found today will be permanently lost if you drop or otherwise lose them outside of depositing t...

today's "jam" is Moondown (Theme II) , albeit for Reasons the comment section of this one is a spoiler minefield so tread carefully also, we've accomplished! something! yay i've been pondering how to handle subregions on the map, idk if they're worth documenting separately (and it's more w...

today's jam is Threat - Shoreline, as much as i would've loved to make it Floes this video was primarily seawards so it'd feel wrong!

map updated with New Exploringwards

the water is dangerous even if it's not falling from the sky

the intent of the current LP is just the survivor campaign for now, unless rao's plan has changed monk and hunter i don't think are worth doing LPs for (none of them have unique content to their name save for like, one or two story moments each) but each of the downpour slugcats is its own potential...

Absolutely ludicrous how far rao progressed without running into these fuckers until the literal end of the video . I was gnawing on my fingers. https://i.imgur.com/EVLQHBd.png Sincerely hoping, for rao's sake, tomorrow's video continues just as well as today. We're in deep now. yeah there's basica...

today's jam is Black Moonlight but more importantly shaded citadel :3 i knew this was what was gonna be happening after how yesterday ended and i'm thrilled also, map updated again. less of a puzzle to fit this one end but i always wait until the end of the episode for map updates, for obvious reasons

today's jam is Threat - Heavy Industrial (which was the beta name of Industrial Complex) had to puzzle over how to best abstractly represent the connections between regions today, as rao's gone (roughly) down, then right, then back left again. need to clarify that, even if i do know how the full map...
