Weird little fact about life on the surface: outskirts' development name was suburban! it's still called that in the files, hence the acronym SU

looking closely at the map, the region is also arranged into a few separate buildings, rather than a single complex like industrial

...there aren't many windows, though. I guess the ancients had weird architectural priorities, such as making machines that look kind of like funny faces or walls of AC units

Sorry this took so long to answer!! I wanted to do my own research too (wiki reading hours), because I LOVE LOVE ASKS LIKE THESE YES DISCUSS LORE AND TRIVIA WITH ME!! <3

In fact you're absolutely correct! I always wondered why some acronyms don't match. How fascinating this is common for probably more regions than I'll mention.

That's the case for our dear Industrial which had two names! At very early stages it was referred to as Dense Urban, later being renamed Heavy industrial, before finally circling to our dear Industrial Complex we know today! It is implied to have been a mask factory aside probably offering places to live(?) yummy.

Shaded Citadel used to be called Shadow Urban too apparently. (I see why they changed these. That's a lot of repetition and I can see it being annoying or unclear at first)

Farm Arrays used to be called Linear Farms.

Rubicon was just Hell region.. help?? yeah it's interesting how the void offers a dreamscape for everyone, but Saint (and pups ofc). It very much is hell!

As for your points about windows I think that's hard to see, but I'd love examples for sure. The place is kind of in ruins like everything else. At least to me it's possible we aren't shown the proper perspective to see windows. BUT the lack of windows is very logical I'd say and probably the case. Glass wouldn't survive the rain Moon and later on Pebbles as well produce (unless they have a different material for it idk). The structure is meant to require as little upkeep as possible and to be safe for the few residents that might be still around. (I assume there were some just like Shaded Citadel remained an inhabited place.)

I further argue that they in fact do think about windows, because the Iterator cities have them!! Plenty of them!! mmm stars... and the sight of fellow colonies rising in the distance above the clouds. Pretty cool stuff!

any thoughts on the architecture of the ruins on the surface? it's one of my favourite topics and I barely ever seen it discussed

like, a lot of people don't really seem to notice that outskirts is made of stone!

Sure! I find it easiest to approach this subject chronologically, so I'm going to present a timeline of what I see as the major architectural styles on the surface. Each style will have its own post, so this one doesn't get unmanageably long. Here goes, from earliest to latest:

Depths Civilization Style

Outer Expanse Ruins Style

Industrial Style

Shaded Citadel Ornate Style

Outskirts Style

Modern Style

Sky Islands Style

By the way, sorry it took so long to get to this ask. Real life matters kept me from this blog for a while and then I just kept finding more to write on the matter.

I really love your ancient design! Her nose kinda reminds me of a turtles nose (in a good way) and I love the skin markings and hair

thank you!!!!!! the design process literally consisted of me goin like this

at that one graffiti n the murals and the wiki page for anemones, i got my world view shattered by jellyfish during all of this

here's a baby Ancient as a thanks for the compliments

#Spot says stuff #rw #shout out to tumblr user dragonpropaganda for catchin my ass these things almost ended up as upright platypi or lizards #Suns' ancients used to be fluffy.................... before i got design-saved so thank fuck for that #the turtle-like nose is because i was thinkin 'these things have no business having noses. lets put minimal effort into that'

So i just beat rainworld for the first time finally since downpour came out and i nearly spat out of my drink after seeing "DragonPropaganda- Arena and Challenge Maps" in the credits thinkin is that the tumblr user i follow? Yes it is, Hi Thanks for your work no matter how small :)

Thank you! It's been honestly surreal seeing my name in the official credits of a game i love so much

[shkika]

fun fact about iterator anatomy! the underhang balls are implied to be retractable

in unfortunate development you can see one fully retracted, and the "floor" below it seems to be a massive hatch for it to go through

Ohhhh my god retractable balls stop??

What are they for??? Why are they retractable? Maybe during the electric storms? The more I learn about their weird PC anatomy the more questions I have honestly!!

Why do you build your cities like poorly stacked pancakes too, why does Moon's city have another giant ball in it, are they connected?? I don't know! Insane!!

#you make my day every time i swear to god #iterator balls... is ?? maybe its water?? maybe its? #i dont know #im lost #ask #dragonpropaganda #thank you for the eye-opener #pondering the iterator balls #maybe all these questions have easy answers #maybe i need to read all the pearls again #i probably will!

Well, I think it's time for me to make a pinned post, after a few months of Vibing. I'm Okashi, and i go by it/its, please! I'm a huuuuge furry (literally and figuratively), and I love commissioning art, playing games, and helping people out when I get the chance.

Here's my namesake sona! It's a wickerbeast named Okashi. It stands at 9'6", or around 3 1/6 meters. It weighs around 5640 pounds. Will eventually update this as a thread with my other OCs!

Your bones aren't really necessary, right? You take them out sometimes, do you ever take them all out at once?

i can take some of them out, but not all of them- as long as i have a few of them, i'm fine! past a certain threshold, though, it gets quite painful. i have to polish them every day!
