I did not get half as many scugs to draw than i had anticipated, and people had to wait an aweful long time, so I decided not to draw rthem in the simple rainworld style and instead draw them in more detail with my personal touch! This being said, I hope I caught them all (slippery things) Enjoy!

Starting with Collector from @potassium-guy I feel the urge to play monopoly with them. I also have a feeling that I would loose

second in line is this wormgras bean from @yullzor I get the same urge I have when looking at seaanemones. I want to run my fingers through the tendrils but I dont think that would be a healthy idea XD

next is The Ender, by @kirpichq And its where I have to apologize! I was so hyperfocussed on getting the beautyful scars right, that I missed the tailend tassles. Im so sorry TT_TT I see that now that I uploaded it aaaa

I am thankful to @malaikaesc for submitting Tallyscug. Not only because it gave me an excuse to listen to Tally Hall, but also because it helped me get back into the scug drawing mood.

The Parade (Full name being Constant Parades of Aid) by @fishyaudio was a lot of fun to draw! The flowyness and dynamic just really flew with me

Evilgaysoda on bluesky submitted vulturescug. And since I did not have that many submissions, I decided to draw their partner too. Just look how adorable they are! Vulturescugs colorsheme is so soothing!

Bombardier and Crafter are both by @apple-eating-goat I saw them and I heard squirrelnoises. Just please dont drop that grenade!

Next are Simulacrum by @baltdev and Nonpareil by @nyuufruit who just worked so well with each other, coming to a similar idea from two completely opposing directions! "Are you scug?" "its complicated"

And last but not least the Creature by vaporeon1511 on bluesky and Fifsey by @thornsawawa sing us the song of their people

Yongasabi, Slugcat language of the Rain World Undergrowth AU

Yongasabi originally started as an attempt to turn Rain World's glyphs into a functioning writing system for the slugcats, and that eventually inspired me to make a language for the writing system to support. As it grew, it became increasingly intertwined with my own ideas for Rain World worldbuilding, and my own project, the Undergrowth AU.

Now I'm publicly opening my language to the Rain World fandom! Seven months of work from start to the official release, with fully functioning grammar and over 1500 documented words just at the time of writing this post, I'm excited to finally release this language for other people to view, and potentially even use.

Note that Yongasabi is made with the Undergrowth AU (which is an anthro AU) in mind. It presupposes that the slugcats are humanoid, and their technological development is further along than in the game. Despite that, the language should be otherwise applicable to regular slugcats.

While Yongasabi has been developed through the lens of my own projects (Rain World Undergrowth AU and its worldbuilding) and understanding of Rain World's themes and lore, it's something I want to be accessible to the entire community. Consider it something of a gift. Anyone has permission to use Yongasabi in their projects—credit would be appreciated, and I would actually be so excited if you messaged me to let me know what you were doing. If I'm available, I can translate things too, if you need, or explain concepts from the document. Just send it to me and I'll see what I can do! Good luck!

its pretty much only greebling so it helps to hoard loads of pictures and jump off from there. the sides of the city are more tedious than they are creatively challenging because there are tons of photos and fan renders out there of the sides of an iterator that serve as great inspiration points, alongside other examples of general mechanical greebling, such as the millennium falcon, which are pretty easily found online

thinking of different building types was the most annoying part of this for me. a good amount of the buildings are inspired by places ive been or buildings i remember seeing in civ/resource management games. one of the buildings is just straight up ripped off of justin biebers house that looks like its from the sims. i ended up downloading a lot of photos of parks for layout ideas. also, something else that helped me was to draw a few streets before doing the buildings because it helped to mentally break the can into sections i felt were less intimidating

TODAY! WE FEAST!!!
