Rain World : The Complex 

ATTENTION: I have made a fucky wucky -The art at 4:52 was made by Ezekiel, not starvoidfish. -The art at concept at 20:10 was made by Floaty Boi, not Serpenillus Also I need to get a pop filter gahdaym

I like the part where the Infiltrator said 'it's infiltratin' time' and totally infiltrated all over Twisting Road's can

The shelter mimic is terrifying on a first play through if this was real

Ok, imagine you're a player who just bought this 'DLC.' You've been a long time rainworld fan and have done pretty much everything there is to do in the game. You push through the first few areas, absolutely loving the new biomechanical flora and fauna found in these new regions when you take a pipe into the experiment wing and see a combination of every single one of your worst fears in front of you. Your first reaction would be to be scared shitless as it runs towards you at rapid speeds, but as it nears you being prepared to lose karma and restart the room, it instead just sits next to you and idly looks at you with curiosity. Confused, wondering if the AI bugged out or something, you take this opportunity to throw a rock or spear at them, the creature runs away scared, and you're left either confused at how you managed to survive that vicious encounter or surprised at the revelation.

If the 'he' being referred to is Distant Frontier, then Daszombes is crafting a masterpiece of a storyline that deserves a fully fleshed-out mod.

Shocking that the Chimera, arguably the most terrifying looking creature in this region concept, is probably also the friendliest and bestest boi.

"one final request, make it quick." amazing lore👏

So if I leave those defective neuron flies around, they'll form conga lines? HELL YEAH

well, distant frontier is more terrifying than i thought i'm curious about whatever the robot cancer is though and how twisting road got to this state, cant wait to see the logs!

That final "secret region" had me completely in shambles, great job as allways

That ending caught me so off guard i'm speechless

It’s interesting how almost all the creatures resemble actual microscopic organisms or resemble parasites. also I like to think the local group can see what the infiltrator sees like the overseers IMAGEN THEM SEEING THE FLESH ROOMS

At the end there, you can have put an alternate end by letting the infiltrator use the mandatory cooperation module to either take control of the puppet, or swapping places with it. Sounds like a cool concept to me but maybe it wouldn't have the impact you are looking for so I won't be particularly assertive in adding this to the lore

Having watched TRs log, I can say he was the hero we needed and he didn't deserve his fate pour one out for Twisting Roads.

"Iterator, i am trying to sneak around, but the sound of my pipe-diving keep alerting the guards"

I feel like the Inflitrator should have some sort of cybernetic implants to move easier in zero-g, since it _is_ supposed to inflitrate an iterator.

HUGE fan of the bobbit worm inspired creature, huge fan of the cyclops lizard, huge fan of the wroach this is such a cool idea AUGH the flesh zone?? horrifying. I love it so much. The overall CONCEPT? incredible. I would love to see this mod come to life someday but for now I'm satisfied just imagining what it would be like

Mogus here, I'm glad to have gotten to be a part of this and add my own little man made horror beyond our comprehension

4th wall breaking idea; i wonder how the iterators would feel if they just stumbled upon logs from an unknown creature perfectly summarizing the plans they likely spent several cycles on in less than an hour, with indications that it was made for a large group.

Hits different after the Twisting Roads log

Can't wait to see the culmination of all our work!

Little concept idea: what about desert world? The local iterator destroyed its ecosystem by draining all the water, maybe a newer model that was designed to not process the surrounding via overseers at all and couldnt react to the changing nature of his ressources, but this lead to not rain being the problem but the rise of the sun. Maybe this facility was made to research the weather interactions, thus weakening the atmosphere at that point, making the sun the only deadly constant. The flora and fauna has evolved to stay high above the ground, so many spiders and special vultures. Since it was a special research facility, slugcat has to find remaining data and send it via the local communications array. This slugcat is called the nomad, since it came from far away and since the difficulty would be to find some of the scarce shelters to flee from the sun. To do that, it (maybe a bit gross) share its former meals with the local animals to easily gain companions, or use as emergancy rocks. Since it has to travel a long time, it has a big food reserve and it can use hunter and survivor diet, yet isnt a perfect omnivore since the prey doesnt give that many food points anyway. The focus would be the interaction with animals and scavs, but not like the liniar overworld of the raindeer, but perks like getting into the underground tunnels to be safe from the sun or riding on some enemies to get to another location. An additional idea would be that you were send by some military base and you were just built to scout, so you already exceeded your main purpose and can only gain more cycles by collecting pearls to send back home, but this could also be annoying to be forced to search for lore. there could be sandstorm areas, points where the ecosystem meets the decay, oasis points, towers and since the downfall of the main region was overall climate research, maybe there could also be icy regions. The point should be, that the environment is mostly dead and still some creatures managed to survive, so you need to decide wether you need food or a companion, watch the critters trying to find remaining vegetation and fruits. For the iterator, id say its still active but without the cooling water, she needed to mess with the environment once more and produce heat at some point that leads to cooling wind inside of her memory arrays, so she has gotten kind of mad at some point and the hazards inside would be the overheating processors, molten metal etc. and the frost inside the now open memory chambers. Since its a research facility, it would be a complex of many Antennas and devices around one central tower, so I call it the "chandelier ", so like the wall but with horizontal intersections and bridges. Since this can was already built when watersupply was unstable, part of the inner machinery can be exposed to the cool outside to vent, like a drawer.

I like trains

GOD this man is a STELLAR storyteller

My man Twisting Roads had every cell in his body get up and walk away

The thought of one's organs turning against them is terrifying.

Adapting the already freaky and alien innards of an iterator into something far more sinister and malicious is just genius. By now I know exactly what the rot is, and that detracts from the fear it initially imposed on me. But after escaping the creeping tendrils of the gluttonous daddies and entering the interior of Pebbles, I found myself so much more on edge and scared by all of the incomprehensible sights and sounds I was experiencing. To this day I still have little understanding of all those strange facets of an iterator can, and this project's imagining of a single experiment going wrong distorting the undocumented biology of an iterator in such a horrific and monstrous manner is brilliant.

I love to think that once retrieved the drive and climbing on the top of the can, Infiltrator points his beam in the sky, making a high whistling sound and waving around. Eventually beam turns green and second later the giant modified vulture bites the slugcat and snitch them away

Oh man this was quite the project. Thank you for this experience Daz

honestly i think one campaign where you play as a lone scavenger meeting the iterators instead of a slugcat would be pretty interesting

YES, YES YES, oh i loved being a part of this...i kinda hope theirs an honorable mentions part cause their were so many cool creatures!

Rain Wolrd: The Complex? I actually find it quite simple.

Will the Saint come to Ascend poor Twisting Roads, or will his suffering continue forever as the ecosystem slowly tears him apart? Find out next episode!

20:58 : Slugcat: NO FU*K OFF, I'M WARNING YOU cyclops: No u Slugcat: *pops eye like bubble* I WANRNED YOU-

Finally, a slugcat that understood the weakness of its flesh. It seems to have been disgusted by it

There should be an optional quest to reunite both Kimeras. That way, they don't die alone ❤️

Bro is it just me or is this "him" a distant frontier So I saying this becouse in golden strand video the code in descriptione said "rebellion brings twisted roads.

The chimera fucked me up, was not expecting the sad anime backstory

My only issue with this concept is I wish the takeover mechanic was used more than just being the gimmick of the slugcat. Maybe it can be used on Twisting Roads in some way (like maybe the mass interferes in letting you kill Twisting Roads), or perhaps a way to get the two Chimera’s together for a small nice moment. Other than that I love this idea! I think the Iterators are the most fascinating parts of Rain World so a story with so much focus on them is so cool to me

Another amazing region concept! Absolutely stunning, kudos to everyone who worked on this

Only 4 minutes in but the video is already a banger! Loved working on this project :)

At this point we’re basically making Rainworld 2

i feel really bad for the chimera

This is gonna be great I can feel it!

The Scatter Mantis reminds me of that nightmare robot from movie '9', with the tail and its light especially

I LOVETHIS SO MUCH 😭😭💖💝💕!!! Wonderful designs and story, and the overall effort just blows me away!! Great job everyone, fantastic work all of you! Unending thanks for this, this is an incredible work of art 😭💝💕💖⭐✨💫!!

I know this question is probably coming in late but would the Chimera trigger the Infiltrators red beam despite its passive nature? I could see it going both ways as while it is passive, it is quite literally a combination of some of the top predators.

This was a Blast to work on… I CANT WAIT TO SEE

I absolutely LOVE everything to do with the chimera! the mix between all of the animals is effective and the subversion of expectation is peak quality. love how it turns out to be a peaceful and harmless animal no matter what it was created for.

here is what I think. The fleshy Rot-like stuff designed by TR to modify himself, like 5P. But, he used it in an important area, in this case the Memory Conflux, shutting him down, and causing all of this to happen. I'm not an IT guy, but biomass in the right area, such as at the Memory or the Motherboard can shut any machine down, no matter how large. Awaiting an expert opinion

WOAH this was one hell of a ride, i loved the twisting roads lore. also im slightly worried about iran

Aww these have been amazing!!! You guys have done a amazing job

I saw the cyclops lizard and my first thought was just "CHUNKY!"

25:14 Turns out Moon had 'em too

Such a delicious treat of a video to watch. Thank you!

Mystery Flesh Pit World.

You have a lot of literacy skills, I like listening to your stories and you a very good voice. I'm waiting to see the log :D

Perfect timing, since I just entered the Five Pebbles region the other day

BRO THE ALL FATHER AND TWISTING ROADS A BEING A REFERENCE TO ODIN (maybe) IS SO COOL OUGHGH

Props to Das! Instead of bringing up his character's sexuality randmonly when it is irrelevant for simingly no reason beyond twitter validation like so many others Daszobes instead has the skill and maturity to only bring up the sexuality of his character in a situation where it's relevant : being within targeting rage of Iran's anty-gey missiles 10/10

… Once again, we are gathered here to mourn the tragedy of suicidal meat computers. Rest in pieces. >):’^c

I LVOE THE INTRO CUTSCENE OH MY GOR

Why do memory worms remind me of the Amorphus shame? You know, from the flesh pit.

Can't wait to see how this turns out!

loved it, as always

Dronemaster is probably closest thing we will get to infiltrator

The Rot is the closest we'll ever be to getting this in game.

Awesome work!!! Really cool, I love the result!!

another masterpiece. thank you, king.

8:08 Wait wait wait, I just realized you added Mr.X to this project. Odd but well fitting for rain world

I must hug the chimera

Would really appreciate if there was a playlist for the concept videos Edit: You just made my day (:

You know it’s a good day when daszombes uploads or a good night because I live in England

i honestly love the concept of an iterator can evolving into a complete ecosystem of creatures. its like of the rot was taken to 11 yet refused to completely turn into just a cancer blob, the writhing memory conflux is also really reminiscent of other works like the mystery flesh pit, which isnt a bad thing at all. i love this concept

You helped me sleep many times :) also the region is very cool

i find it funny how evry thing is just some normal looking high tech stuff but there just writing memory conflux witch is just nightmare fuel. imagine playing that blind whitout spoiling yourself and any thing, and like you get trought most of the tower, but suddently you just end up in a place basicly made from flesh, you see abomination left and right, you get to the next shelter quikcly because you need to get befor rain or some thing happens, just for it to be a shelter mimic.

enjoyable much like the last videos, hope you're doin well

The Complex? I find it quite simple

22:41 To be honest, the writing memory conflux remembered me of the "Mystery fesh pit National Park"

39:07 Iran 🇮🇷 baby best region in rain world let’s GOOOOOO

Entertaining as always 👍

Soon I will have more listening material....... Soon.

The chimera's story is so sad and depressing and I never imagined feeling sorry for something so terrifying looking

I like how we essentially got an antibody in the downpour dlc

This would be amazing to play

This makes me remember metal gear a lot, idk why.

I love that you threw in the secret iran level

I have personal slugcat, they're known as "the lookout" their ability is basically shadow clone jutsu or just cloning.As the name implies they're purpose is not just to do missions for the iterator whom made them, known as "Quickening Rust" but to also repair and defend his can.

I cANt FiNd tHe MoD whAT dO I do

I remember being in school, and seeing Niko_the_frog draw the concepts during class

This Concept is Fuck!ng Awesome!

Throw a few inspectors in there and call it done

This is a region concept I made, inspired by dazomboes’s region videos. Here is my prompt or my region, so enjoy! The starship How to get there After getting the mark of communication from pebbles, and IF you head to farm arrays, instead of finding the tall, red grass, you will find a crater where it once was. Closer investigation will lead you to a plane - like ship. Embedded to its side is a shelter, and if you sleep in the shelter, the ship will glow a vibrant green and gold, and take off. Inside the shelter is a window, and as you sleep, the player can see the ship blast past the cloud layer, go above all the iterators cans, and leave the planet's atmosphere. After waking up, you can find that you are in space. The planet is visible, but you are far, far away from even its moon. This is the star ship. The actual prompt You are in a place far, far away from the clouds, far away from the creatures you had once been running from, and far away from safety. The ship cycles are broken up by red, flashing lights before the airlocks glitch and unlock, leaving no oxygen and sucking out all living things that can’t make it to a shelter in time. All the rest of the time, there is no gravity, and the predators that have adapted to cope with the circumstances are faster and stronger then their earthly residents. Off the walls, you can not only hear the echoes of the growling predators that lurk in the shadows, but also the whimpers of a trapped creature Or the mumblings of a madman. The actual prompt, pt2 If you are able to avoid the rancid predators, lights will appear, and not the ones that light the hallways, no. these are lanterns. The ones carried by scavengers. If you continue your trek by following the lanterns, not only will the zero gravity slowly go away, but you will also find a karma gate. Passing through it and entering the vent, you can find a mega city of scavengers. None attack you, due to not having to deal with a threat for possibly years, though scavenger guards will follow curiously. Admiring the city, you begin to ponder, how did all they get here? If you explore the city, you can find a gate guarded by scavenger guards, armed with explosives. They will not let you pass, and the only way for them to let you pass is by killing one of the most powerful creatures in the starship: a krakecada. The krakecada is a distant relative of the squidcada, losing its wings and using its large tentacles to grapple the hard surfaces, and also using them to grab and constrict prey to a pulp. They have become what can only be described as a kraken. A krakecada can be found near the city, and killing it will make you almost transform into royalty if you bring it into the city. Only then will the guards let you pass. Inside is a room, and in the room is an echo. The echo says as such “ little animal, I plead with you. I was once something you called an ancient, and I was once one of many. Somewhere in this ship lies a traitor. He massacred us with something called “void”. He killed us, he killed our wives, our husbands, and even our children. The others plainly died, whilst i was turned into this amalgamation, so i plead with you, little one, Kill onyx, loom over minds Save the starship. The real prompt, pt3 After the echo tells you this, you head out through the starship, listening for the cries of the madman. Eventually you find a region known as “the computer room”. It is littered with wires, across the floor, roof, and walls. Along with the wires is shattered monitors and computers, and floating in the zero gravity are robes Robes, masks, and skeletons. Following the wires lead you to another karma gate. Passing through to the next room is a dark hallway, with cries of the mad man coming louder and louder, until you see him. Shackled to the wall stands the last living ancient. Loom over minds wears a robe, jewelry covers his entire body, and he bores a mask, covered in dry blood. LOM tilts his head up to get a look at you. He then speaks in a maniacal, twisted voice “ahh, i see. A little critter, crawling on this bloodstained floor, well I have to tell you, you’ve done well to meet me, and I believe drops of coffee, that weird looking guy that turned into a jellyfish-thing told you about muh crimes, huh? So I dare you, come on, do it! DRIVE THAT SPEAR THROUGH MY SKULL, NOT LIKE I CARE!!” His yell echoes off the cold, dead walls. He then wiggles his arm and passes you a container “that there is void juice, same stuff that melted through everyone as i stabbed into their meaningless hearts. Stab me with that. Attach it to your stick and give a good old jab in the good old gnoggin, whaddya say?” he says. You now have 2 options. Option 1 is to craft it onto your spear and throw right into the ancient’s head, killing him, in which you can go back to the ship and go back to normal rain word, and option three is to eat the void juice, in which you will explode and the screen go black and would lowly fan out into the void sea.

I love the cyclops lizards

the antibody is just the inspector but jellyfish, not complaining tho~

26:02 are these reference to that weazle ( sorry if I butherd that I'm from Poland) from Mistery Flesh Pit Natonal Park. They look allmoust udentical to one of the stages of the Evolution

i wanna hug twisting roads so bad..

In 8 hours we will have rain world wildlife museum

i feel like a good ability to have for the infiltrator would be to toggle the zero gravity off for itself for a little bit of time, making some sections way easier or to escape predators

i love the part where we added a antigravity section.
