Cloudburst

A collection of simplified custom Slugcats and Lizards based on characters from my Cloudburst server.

This is my first attempt at a proper Rain World mod, so don’t expect anything to be too fancy, as it currently has no custom abilities or world changes yet. It only has custom stats, artwork, and spawns for now.

Currently includes one W.I.P playable, though more are planned to be made.

The Ascendant is built lightly, and as a result has a lower weight than most Slugcats. This also allows them to jump slightly higher as well as sprint faster, though they are not as agile as the infamous Rivulet. It also means they can Squidcada Hover without needing to starve!

They start off with a natural glow that aids them through dark areas, as well as the Mark of Communication.
With the help of their extra arms, they are capable of throwing a spear that deals more damage than usual in order to defend themselves, which comes in handy when the world they find themselves in is littered with dangerous enemies…
Reputation is low and will need to be recovered manually.

They require 5 food to hibernate while being able to store 10 total. Plants give less food than usual, as they are mainly carnivorous. However, certain foods will fill much more hunger than usual, with their favorite food being Eggbug and Firebug Eggs and especially anything with a glow to it. When starving, their stats severely decrease to being comparable to The Monk.

Lastly, the Ascendant starts off in Rubicon, and currently uses Rivlet’s worldstate.
(Post-Rivulet, Pre-Saint.)
If you happen to load the mod without Downpour, Ascendant will instead use Hunter’s worldstate as a failsafe, starting in Shaded Citadel.

I highly recommend you set the tail settings to the following in Dress My Slugcat, for the best experience:
Asymmetry
5 to 6 Length
2.0 Wideness
0.1 Roundness

– Characters are only capable of achieving the ascending endings, as no custom campaigns are made for them.
– Characters may be a bit unbalanced at the moment, I’m tweaking these constantly. Ascendant specifically will have a major nerf once their crafting is added.
– Sometimes certain sprites appear to white out into triangles, this may be a Dress My Slugcat issue. Reloading Atlases or reinstalling the mod tends to fix this.
– Custom spawns are unfinished, check the mods change notes to know which ones have custom spawns for now. I’ll remove this note once all regions are finished.
– Sea Serpent does not naturally spawn anywhere in the current patch, but can be used in Arena Mode.
– Two modified versions of the Blue Lizard are accessible in Arena Mode, these are meant to be used for The Copycat’s campaign which will begin once spawns for The Ascendant are finished.

– Add Arena Mode sprites.
– Add unique in-game sprites.
– Add Death artwork. Ready for next update
– Add Starvation artwork. Ready for next update
– Add Sleeping artwork.
– Add Ascended artwork. Ready for next update
– Add Title Screen artwork.
– Add Selection Screen artwork.
– Add custom Intro cutscene
– Add custom Ascension Ending cutscene.
– Finish adding custom spawns to every Region.
– Give Ascendant limited crafting for void/light based objects.

– The Vorpal?
– The Siren?
– The Copycat? (Next)

– Slugbase allows the characters to function.
– Dress My Slugcat allows you to give the characters their intended skin until I can figure out how to hardcode it into the characters themselves.
– Open Exclusive Regions allows Ascendant to escape Rubicon until I can figure out how to add unique gates myself, this requirement is mostly a placeholder for now.
– Lizard Customizer and Spit Anything allow Cream Lizards, Lavender Lizards, Mimic Lizards, and Sea Serpents to function and spawn throughout various regions for this mods characters.
– Downpour DLC gives the characters the intended worldstates for gameplay, as well as some of their favorite foods. Since the mod doesn’t have any mechanic dependencies from Downpour yet, it is theoretically possible to play it with the base game. Though I highly recommend against this as it will probably only cause the mod to break later on once abilities such as crafting are added.
