On Colors, The Void Sea, And My Gripes With Rubicon

(or: i have decided to make a post detailing one of my pettiest gripes with downpour, because there is nothing stopping me from doing so. enjoy)

so. the void sea. we all know it, we've all seen it. lore, themes, motifs, etc etc. the meaning of it all has been discussed countless times by those more qualified than I, so today, i will take a somewhat different focus.

The Void Sea (and the associated Echoes) have a very distinct color palette of black and gold.

[images taken from the Rain World Wiki]

[images by me]

the pale gold is a stark contrast to the dark, almost blue-black* (*in the Void Sea, the black is actually tinted gold-to-red, but it's so dark you can hardly tell). It fades from almost white to a pale yellow to a golden orange, and then to a dark purplish tone before fading, again, into nothing. or, at the top of the void sea, it stops at golden orange, fading out into a golden brown.

It is bright without being oversaturated--it is distinctive, eye-catching, and very fitting for what it is.

And then Rubicon comes along and throws all of that out the goddamn window.

[images by me]

the red.... doesn't work. it's too bright, too saturated. it doesn't even look bad, necessarily (although i do find--especially in rooms like the last image--that it looks a bit off when combined with a very dark desaturated foreground and the void light effect [i'm not sure what it's actually called]), but it's not... it's not the void palette. it doesn't look like what the void sea should look like. i mean, just look at rubicon's "void fluid":

[image by me]

it's bright piss yellow with bright red-orange undertones--nothing like the pale gold of base-game void fluid. it's too saturated, too reddish. it's not how the void sea is depicted anywhere else.

...dare i say (and this just speculation on my end), rubicon's bright red palette specifically resembles the common pop culture image of christian hell. considering the region's acronym being hr, for 'hell region', i doubt this is pure coincidence.

i don't think i need to say this, but rain world is, crucially, not a christian game. to lean so heavily into popular culture's image of christianity's hell (which, tbf, i have my own issues with, but yk yk) is, if nothing else, perhaps the most boring direction Rubicon could have been taken in.

(tangentially, i also believe rubicon should've felt like more of a fever dream overall, but that is not the point of this post.)

when i see rubicon, i don't think void sea, i think minecraft nether. this is, imo, a poor design choice.

now, i love downpour. i love saint. i even love rubicon, as much as i have my gripes with it. this is not meant to insinuate anything about downpour's devs, etc etc etc. this is all just a discussion of some particular details i would've done differently, were i in charge of designing this region. if you disagree, that's fine! i'm just some guy making long posts about slug game, not like... an expert, or anything.

Rubicon is a place where creatures who aren’t supposed to be able to ascend get sent when they are forcefully ascended.

The only creatures we see in Rubicon are creatures like Red Lizards, Guardians, Rot, Leviathans, Iterators. Creatures locked karmically by wrath, gluttony, etc, or creatures without karma like the iterators.

The whole of Rubicon is this broken amalgamation of these creature’s cycles being folded and shredded apart.

Like Pebbles said, “As if every cycle of my existence has knotted together with another's, even if for only a fraction of a second it rippled through mine.”

Rubicon is the oc's name chosen for @cement-tumor

Their main avatars were Kinger and Bubble, I knew what to do about Kinger, but wasnt sure about bubble. So I just settle on making his eyes the same color of bubble and added a bubble pattern to his tie
