"The fourth slugcat of Rain World has not been forgotten, their time is coming. The Watcher is the next DLC expansion for Rain World. https://youtu.be/scR9AGNDggc
Journey beyond to something, somewhere only ever glimpsed. When the world beneath your feet cracks and crumbles, will you hold on to all you once knew? Or dive into the unknown?
We are working hard on Rain World: The Watcher, and I can’t wait to share more information later. For now though, please wishlist on Steam! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2857120/Rain_World_The_Watcher/"
at this point it's been a while so i might as well make a "where ive been" post
in short, my constant use of a pc and the fact i kept ignoring my problems until they got too bad to go unnoticed, landed me with a strain injury in my hand.
using the mouse for any extended time quickly causes pain, so anything from gaming, drawing, to simply browsing websites for a while is not on the table.
so simply put, my pc use is very limited (mostly to watching videos) for the sake of recovery.
i can't say how long it'll take until i'll be back, it's been a few weeks but strain injuries heal very slowly and re-injure easily (which i found out the hard way) so expect anything from weeks to who-knows-how-long.
Your voices matter to me quite a lot. We're pulling the planned Ludeo update from Rain World and indefinitely suspending our partnership with them. At the end of the day, Rain World art month is about celebrating the vibrant, clever, endlessly creative voices in this community and when those voices speak, we listen.
Ludeo was one part of our bigger plan for Rain World Art Month, a systems update built for challenge-oriented players who could have some fun with their tech. We also planned the QoL Patch, XP Pen Giveaways, and Anniversary Livestream for March; none of that stuff is going to be affected by this decision, so I hope you find plenty of opportunities to support your favorite pieces in #rw-art-month-gallery★.
With the first day of RW Art Month how about I talk about some of the announcements? This month we are releasing Luedo plus a Quality of Life Patch to Rain World plus Sanshee will be restocking many Rain World products!
When revealing the prompts, I announced that we partnered up with XPPen to host giveaways for the talented artists who participate in RW Art Month! I want to give more details on the giveaway! Every Friday (March 9th, 16th, and 23rd) I will do a raffle for a prize that includes a drawing tablet! If you drew for the RW Art month event, you can enter the raffle!
Here are the prizes that you can win in the weekly prizes. (1 winner per week)
1 Deco L drawing tablet
1 Desk Pad
1 Canvas Bag
1 Shortcut Keys multifunction sticker packet
On March 28th there will be a grand prize drawing which will take all the entries from the weekly raffles. That means if you enter all three weekly raffles you’ll get three entries for the grand prizes.
Here are the prizes for the grand prize. (March 28th)
1 Artist 22 Plus
3 Canvas Bag
3 Shortcut Keys multifunction sticker packet
I will post the Google form for entries on Wednesdays so be sure to keep an eye out on that!"
—----------------------------------
"Also for those hoping for some @RW News , I will start off March with introducing a new free feature coming to Rain World on Steam called Ludeo! Ludeo will allow players in sandbox mode to share different playable highlights by clipping your gameplay and sharing it directly with others. They’ll start playing right where you did so you can challenge them to beat your Sandbox Mode score. This will be released in two weeks on March 15th!
—----------------------------------
On Monday, we will be releasing a quality of life patch which will include many fixes like fixing controller customized configs not saving for players 2-4 and fixing ordering mods issues in the Remix Menu. I will reveal the full patch notes on Monday when the patch is out. Trust me it is about a half of a page of listed fixes that I can’t wait to get out.
—--------------------------------
Last but not least, Sanshee will be restocking many Rain World products on March 28th during the anniversary stream! Here is a list of products being restocked.
All four marshmallow slugcat pins
All four original slugcat pins
All three lizard pins
Predator or Prey Tee
Gourmand slugpup plush
All four core slugpup plush
All three lizard plush
Both art prints
These are just the start of announcements coming this month and I can’t wait to share more later this month!"
