hi yes it is me alphappyThis carrd is a place for me to put links to all my accounts and a few samples of my art for when commissions are open!I'm also a little bit very obsessed with rain world right now, so I also keeppages with my speedrunning PBs and Remix mods I've created here! Some of those mods are for debugging and research, the results of which are on the official wiki!

I speedrun a few categories of Rain World for fun - all of my PBs (past and present) are listed here. The rules these speedruns follow are approximately those listed on speedrun.com as of 2023 Jun 29, but they are written here as well.

Perkless Expedition

Complete the selected Expedition mission with no optional perks or burdens (except Doomed) enabled. These categories are ranked by corrected IGT, and follow the same rules as the primary categories.

Birdwatching, Perkless

Scavenger Hunt, Perkless

Hunter Gatherer, Perkless

Apex Predator, Perkless

Community Challenges

Community Challenges are defined by the Rain World Discord community. Some do not require posting videos, or do not require videos of the full run. The rules for these runs are similar to that of the standard speedruns, but different mods are allowed and No Randomized Cycle Duration is allowed for some challenges.

Downpour Challenges

Downpour Challenge categories require completing a set of 7 challenges in any order. These runs are only timed RTA, and not IGT. At the end of the list are individual challenges which do not have a category to themselves. These runs follow the same rules (except for timing) as the primary categories.

Survivor Challenges (1 - 7)

Monk Challenges (8 - 14)

Hunter Challenges (15 - 21)

Artificer Challenges (29 - 35)

Rivulet Challenges (36 - 42)

Spearmaster Challenges (43 - 49)

Armor Piercing Rounds

Complete Challenge 65.

Rain World: Downpour Mods

I make little mods for fun.

Staminer

Staminer adds a stamina meter for Gourmand (and for starving or wounded scugs) and an overheat meter for Artificer. Also adds a 'sweating' effect as a visual cue for impending exhaustion.

Checkpointer

Checkpointer allows you to set a checkpoint and return to it on demand to make practicing movement a little less painful.

Input Log

Input Log displays a scrolling log of frame-by-frame input intended for use in learning movement tech.

Dull Teeth

Dull Teeth allows lizard bite lethality chance to be scaled by the lizard's current health. By default, the bite lethality chance drops to 50% of normal as the lizard's health drops to 0%, but this is fully customizable.

Expedite

Expedite allows you to always immediately skip the karma ladder animation on the sleep/death screen. While intended for Expedition, where the animation can never be skipped, it also functions in Story, where the animation is unskippable if a Passage has just been earned.

Super Visualizer

Super Visualizer is a debug tool. It displays select properties of creatures and objects as text as well as creature pathfinder destinations. Which information is displayed is customizable.

Stuck in a Cycle

Stuck in a Cycle is a debug tool which freezes the cycle timer. Press MAP while paused to toggle. Note that the shelter animation does not play while the cycle timer is frozen.

Zero Palette

Zero Palette is a debug tool which forces every room to use the same palette settings.

Rain World: Downpour - Speedrun Rules

Except where noted otherwise, all my speedruns follow these rules.

Settings

- Expedition and Jolly Co-op can be enabled.
- Input Display can be enabled. High Performance must be enabled in its settings.
- Fast Roll Button can be enabled.

Timings

Timing:
- For Story runs, IGT and RTA both begin when the New Game or Delete Save buttons fill completely, and end when the Speedrun Timer freezes - usually on the final actionable screen.
- For multiple-challenge runs, there is no IGT. RTA begins when the Play button is triggered, and ends when the Game Over screen appears after completing the final challenge.
- For single-challenge runs, there is no RTA. IGT is what is shown on the Game Over screen after completing the challenge.
Story timing:
- For Closure%, time ends when Artificer grabs the Chieftain's mask or corpse.
- For Old Friend%, time ends upon entering SL_AI after installing the Rarefaction Cell in MS_HEART.

- For Journey's End%, time ends when control of Slugcat is taken in OE_FINAL03.
- For any run that ends in the Depths, time ends upon entering the space below SB_L01.
