vroom vroom water scug

[plain imp]

playing rivvy as my 2.5th downpour campaign !! (ft. my low effort riv drawing)

woah ok i just fell from that tube up there, accompanied by the sound of a bomb and a scav body

i have a skin mod added that makes rivvy look super cutee yippie

its gonna take a bit to get used to being this fast

when they said shorter cycles they really meant it oh god

first sleep awww

i reallyyy hope i went the right way bc i lowk kinda panicked hhhh

first death .. yippie?

made it to the next shelter, the region im currently in seems to be ||garbage wastes||

im now on cycle 3 and slept in this shelter by the gate

i have diverse shelters on if you cant already tell

uhh this is not what the shelter looked like when i went to sleep..

just found out i can turn blue rocks into bubbles with only my paws

okay im gonna sleep in the shelter on the other side of the gate bc its still raining out (i think..?)

oh my god rivvy fix ur sleep schedule scugs are not nocturnal

unless thats the challenge hmm

alright made it to the next shelter which is fully submerged but still

when i said fully submerged, i meant the outside because i did not know shelters could flood like this oh my god??

i dont think ill ever see the light of day again sighh

made it to the next shelter

i woke up expecting the shelter to have water in it and for rain to be outside but theres not any?

alright, got rivvy fed and slept again, forgot to mention im in the ||shoreline|| region

again wasnt raining, maybe its just like a 50/50 thing?

okay i went super deep underwater in some pipes and came across this gate and shelter, i slept at the shelter but i just wanna make sure, is this the right way to go? it seems a little scary so i definitely wanna avoid it if possible

[slender oxide]

if you don't want to go there right now then you don't have to

you can always head elsewhere if that's what you prefer to do, and just keep it in mind if you want to go back and explore that place

[plain imp]

hmm ur right, although im afraid of dying and then not being able to gather enough karma to get in, so i miiighhht try to poke my head into the region for a bit

[timid oar]

its very fun

trust me

[plain imp]

okok ill go thru the gate

back on the grind i just realized the gate has no floor? hmm still works tho

theres a shelter on the other side that i should probbaably sleep in however i do not have food

ok these sounds are terrifying

survived another night and got the survivor passage

omg riv quit blinking when i take a screenshot?

its green outside

its so dark i cant see whats a pole and what isnt hhhh

it seems im in ||submerged superstructure||?

[slender oxide]

you don't have to use spoiler tags past the starting message by the way

[plain imp]

oooh ok thanks

saw a hugee jellyfish and slept again honk mimimi

bleh i ran out of time and died

yeahh that was smart

i thought maybe i could eat it

theres a lot of blue fruit in this room but i cant reach itt

there has to be a way to get these right?

that thing is TERRIFYING

luckily i got enough food and made it to the next shelter, just barely though

alright im at this shelter now, at least its not underwater like the past few

oh hey wait i just noticed i have that mark thing??

however that might be a bug since i added mods hm

[deft trail]

It’s not a big

Bug*

[plain imp]

oooh alright thank u

i did not expect to survive this cycle since the rain timer was already over

explored upwards and i really thought this was the way to go, but it doesnt seem like theres any rooms past here

so far i actually really love playing rivulet, its so fun being fast and able to swim

[floral folio]

new rivulet thread

[plain imp]

yippie hello

submerged superstructure is hugee woah

i finally fixed it so i can take screenshots of the map so im right here

i went down and im in a sub area called the heart, its making beating sounds and its kinda scary

its also dark with an ominous red glow

okay this area is almost entirely submerged, sooo i drowned

although i saw a jetfish that i didnt think id need so ill grab that and try again

i swam with my fish and made it in here where i proceeded to get stuck

then the rain came so it gave me enough water to swim out but it actually wasnt the rain it was the green

i died as soon as i exited

where is the next gate oh my godd

[timid oar]

i recommend you leave the region now

[plain imp]

ahh hm alright, ill try to make my way back then
it doesnt seem like im making much progress here anyway

[plain imp]

hmm which way is out

okay it doesnt seem to be the right path, ill go left

alright ate i jellies and made it to the shelter (underwater near the giant jellyfish)

i made it to the gate and decided to sleep in the shelter behind the gate (rivvy so cutee )

it seems to be another rainy day but ill still make my way up

finally i am out of submerged superstructure, and safe in this nice shoreline shelter

i think maybe ill try and go see moon, i have the language pixel so i can probably understand her?

ohh moons area wasnt far at all, i expected to travel longer

cool shelter

pee colored pearl is coming with me

woahh ok so i talked to moon and she said five pebbles was sick, and then she stole my pearl and read(?) it, and also i guess i havent seen five pebbles and i got this mark from somewhere else

she gave me the pearl back tho dw

soo i guess i have to go away from this area since moon said its dangerous?

im not exactly sure where to go though

im gonna leave my pearl in the shelter near moon so i dont lose it

i feel like the water is definitely bluer than in other campaigns..

new shelterr

lots of food for the morning as well

i have a feeling the next area to go to is shaded citadel

oh my god i just spent the entire cycle trying to get the scavenger to take my pearl

i need a lantern u idiottt

finally got a lantern and made it to a shelter, im also like 99% sure a giant spider just tried to web me

i forgot how much i hated it here.. where am i even going

if i die this cycle i mightt try to take a peek at gourmands region map to see where i need to go (im guessing memory graveyard or wtv it was called)

aghh i cant even sleep in the same shelter because it flooded

i found a slug baby oh my god

theres also a spider in the shelter..

i dont even know if ur supposed to find slugpups in rivulets campaign normally, since i added a mod so theyre in all campaigns

how do i give the food im holding to the pup

alright i figured it out, u gotta drop it for them

okay the slugpup just threw its food across the room

aand i died trying to save the baby from seaweed

if anyone wants to name the baby go ahead i have no ideas

[deft trail]

luey

(like looey)

[plain imp]

awhh thats cutee ok luey it is

[timid oar]

do you want some slugpup advice

[plain imp]

yes please

[timid oar]

ok so uhh

the first time you find a slugpup

if you dont give it an item first like food or a spear before you pick it up itll hate you

itll stop being tamed at the start of every cycle

and you have to tame it again

[plain imp]

ouhh ok, does that mean i have to give it an item when the cycle starts?

[timid oar]

no like

when you first find it

if you do that itll be tamed forever

[plain imp]

i slept in the shelter already though?

[timid oar]

wuh

[plain imp]

i didnt give the pup an item but saved my progress by sleeping

[restive solstice]

... What?

[timid oar]

what

[timid oar]

i guess its just like that now

dont forget to feed it

[restive solstice]

Nithing states a scup hates you if you dint give it something first

You just need to grab it
Thats it

[timid oar]

[plain imp]

ive been trying but the only food around are those lilies and theres a bunch of seaweed so instead of eating it gets scared and throws them

[timid oar]

i think every region has bluefruits

find those i guess

[plain imp]

hmm okay, they might be a bit far but ill try

[plain imp]

oh my god the spiders can steal pups off ur back?? thats terrifying

okay i think i found a good enough strategy, i just need to execute it

[plain imp]

YES

there were just enough lilies to feed us both for the cycle after

i do realize memory crypts indirectly leads to five pebbles and moon told me to stay away from there so idrk what im doing

umm hello why was there blue stuff

i think i prefer the birds..

i really hope the living blue things arent here tho

yellow lizards too?!

this was probably the worst area to find a baby

yk i shouldve taken into consideration that pups could drown

and yes, the polite blue lads are here too

if anyone has a way to disable pup drowning please share

i dont want luey to die i love my baby

hm theres probably a reason why pups are disabled on rivs campaign.. oh well!

[plain imp]

alright i found a mod that happens to disable pup drowning on riv campaign, i hope this doesnt count as cheating tho?

[plain imp]

here we are

i do hope theres food on the other side bc luey ate most of it

okay good there was enough food to sleep

this wasnt here when i played gourmand

made it another day

and ate a karma flower yum

go awayyy

yup thats exactly what i meant when i said “go away”

im actually quite surprised i did not die

as scary as the blue things are, i think im at least decent at evading them

good to know the precipice is just as useless as last time i came, at least the rain is kinda nice tho

i woke up to the green sparks and it launched me off the edge

currently at the shelter near the precipice gate in exterior

how are u supposed to avoid the green stuff??

i think ill probably just wait for it to stop before i continue exploring

goodness thats stressful

ive died more to falling than to the blue stuff..

i actually havent died to the blue stuff at all hm

i remember this area having a lot of blue stuff when i came here as gourmand.. i have a feeling its not gone anywhere

at least its a pretty easy region, i made it through without dying last time

i dont have enough food to sleep…

hmm do i starve or die

alright, i jumped into blue stuff so i could respawn but i made it, and still have my karma flower protection sheild too

[deft trail]

if you were trying to do a rwsc or submit a speendrun it would but for your own playthrough it really doesnt matter too much

you already got the pup in through unnatural means so

[plain imp]

ahh yeah thats probably fair

[plain imp]

hmm well i thought i was in five pebbles but im actually in ‘the rot’

it seems like the same area tho?

i glow now

also i hear water

this place is terrifying ew ew

theres a lot of the living blue stuff too

at least i have infinite time

this room is really dark without gravity

i made it to the sub area ‘recursive transform array’

i hope i find a shelter to save my progress

theres giant fly zappers here?!?

shelter !

also i have 4 passages which is cool

whys it sideways

this place is so ominous..

hmm im back in cystic conduit

i kindaa dont wanna be there..

its a bit hard to avoid blue stuff when luey keeps meowing

i dont know that theres any other direction for me to go though

okayy i just got fly zapped

i found a different way to go and woahh

nvm it was kinda just a circle

i hear a very loud beating sound in this room, similar to the one in submerged superstructure

oh and heres a shelter

im in five pebbles now?

woah its five pebbles? his room doesnt look so good though, nor does the rest of his region

maybe this is what moon meant when she said he was sick

awhh he has a pearl that plays nice music

he told me to get a cell, and bring it far to the east?

he said it was in the center of the region i think?

soo i guess ill go looking

i slept in the shelter again to save my progress, i suppose now ill go explore

oh? i dont remember seeing any of these in rivulets campaign

maybe ill follow it then

woahh okay

im not sure if im going the right way, since the blue noodle only pointed once but i made it to ‘linear systems rail’

those fly zappers are hugee

more sleep

i have no idea what im doing other than going in circles

[plain imp]

i keep getting so far and then dying to blue stuff

[deft trail]

your map will show you places/pipes you haven’t been through

[plain imp]

ahh yeah i should probably check that

[floral folio]

had the same issue then remembered there was a map

[plain imp]

the update broke my game since i have mods downloaded

[deft trail]

They may take a bit to catch up

Not much you can do other than wait or play without them

[plain imp]

if i play without them luey would end up drowning, so i suppose ill have to wait a bit

[plain imp]

the mod that wasnt allowing me to load in was “push to meow” so ill have to play without it for now

hm my game kinda froze here

paused the game then unpaused and that seemed to fix it, but it came at the cost of being launched upwards into the fly zapper

this thing looks kinda dangerous but theres a tunnel soo

or we can spin around it, that works too

if i die i blame the blue noodle

woahh??

i think i found the uhh cell thingy

the gravity stopped turning on and off, but i can control my own gravity now

i slept and now im gonna use the map to make my way back to five pebbles room

[plain imp]

this feels like the only plant in the region, maybe its important somehow

im back here now

that took way too long but i finally made it back

also he called me a wet mouse

i just notice these paintings have the karma symbols on them

they go up to the top karma

i just noticed my cycle time is long?

i just did a really cool slidey thing then i flew into the air that was so cooooll

i found out how to replicate it, wish i could record to send it here tho

hi again weird thing, i remember u when i was gourmand

prettyyy

i think i could probably just passage to moon but ill try to find a way to get there first

waitt thats so cute rivvy holds the gravity ball

its actually rainy down here, but not deadly

[floral folio]

gratz on progress !

[plain imp]

yippie tyy !!

[slender oxide]

[junior nexus]

what shelter is this? might look into it

[plain imp]

im not so sure but its the second closest shelter to garbage wastes, dunno where to find a map or the names of rooms so thats probably the best description i can give
i do have diverse shelters on tho so it looks different from vanilla shelter

[junior nexus]

oh i ask because im the author of the mod so kinda concerns me this shelter to be flooded

[plain imp]

ohhh that makes sense, i just assumed it was supposed to be flooded

[junior nexus]

it is weird it gets flooded, shouldnt be, i guess the brokenshelter is way above that should be

[plain imp]

rivvy gets waterboarded while sleeping (not clickbait)

[plain imp]

pretty rain

no idea where im going but i found a shelter and this scav decided to chill w me

what do i do with the stupid ball i cant even hold a spear

i keep accidentally throwing the gravity ball off the edge oops

will pups travel with u if you passage? i mighht just fast travel to the shelter near moon if i can

[slender oxide]

they should yes

[plain imp]

ohh okay good

passaagge timee

oh my god pee colored pearl i missed u

only ogs remember pee color pearl

i dont remember those being there..

hi moon

actually shes kinda right the cycles are longer hm

i gave her five pebbles ball now

okay i thiiink i have to bring it to the submerged superstructure?

also i gave her a pearl from my stomach to look at

hello again flying gold ghosts

ok time to sleep

waiiit i just realized that those are the fly zapper things, just deactivated

down we goo

i hate that thing

whos great idea was it to put a pede in the water

people call it a pede right guys

i forgot the gate was 5 karma im so glad i didnt die more

[plain imp]

finallyyy made it to the shelter near giant jellyfish

[floral folio]

gratz on progression

[slender oxide]

back to the icky water depths

[plain imp]

yayy thankks

[plain imp]

at least i kinda have part of the region mapped out already

[plain imp]

ohh i see how to get these noww

wahh i want the little blue guy to tell me where to go

awhh i drowned trying to save luey from a water lizard

yippie i made it to the next shelter

i kinda have no idea where im going tho

wait a second that weird circle room in ‘the heart’ region might be where i have to put the gravity ball bc it looks similar to where i found it??

i might be on to something here

this region is hugee im struggling to find it on the map

i JUST NOW realized that the gravity ball makes u faster in water

ive drowned at least 5 times bc i couldnt grab a fish

what is that little glowing thing its so cutee

shelterrr

[plain imp]

okay, now the shelter i want to be at is not far

i forgot how fun catching bats was

yippie here we aree

ive actually noticed my shelter hasnt flooded in a while, which is nice

this better work i almost drowned

woahh its sparking at the walls

ok woah i just got sucked up by the tube and now im not underwater anymore

am i supposed to be like 10x faster..

[deft trail]

bug

[plain imp]

oooh alright lol

[deft trail]

i mean you move fast when youre moving in the water but after that youre supposed to be normal speed

[plain imp]

yeah i slept and its fixed

omg snow??

it says im in ‘bitter aerie’ woahh

hell yeahh

theres like nothing here, its so weirdly peaceful

shelterr

thats TERRIFYING

shelter and gate

im at moon?

another shelter, but i dont have enough food hm

found blue fruits and now i sleep

moon!

oh?

oooh okay so moon sent a broadcast i think

also were here now

waitt this is so sadd

awww pebbeldssdj

MY SINGULAR KILL

i genuinely thought i killed more than that

aawwwhhh

rivvys campaign was actually so fun im sad its overrr

[floral folio]

gratttzzzzzz

[floral folio]

when you finished all campaigns you can try expeditions

[plain imp]

yippie ! thankuu

[plain imp]

oooh thats rightt i forgot those existed

[floral folio]

there is other stuff but i let you explore the menus to discover them

[plain imp]

i figured out earlier that it saved my pearls that moon talked too in ‘collection’

[floral folio]

ah yes there is that too

you can try to fill all collection ui

[plain imp]

i was thinking about playing survivor and trying to find all the pearls to give to moon

[floral folio]

[floral folio]

however i suggest you try to launch your finished runs

all of them

to see if they do anything

dont delete saves

[plain imp]

oooh wait u can do that?

[floral folio]

(at least not after you tried)

[floral folio]

yes

[plain imp]

ill try doing that when i get the chance, although i only have monk, gourm and riv as finished saves for now

[floral folio]

oki !

[floral folio]

i suggest you do all the vanilla campaigns left then, and after that the downpour ones

[plain imp]

ive finished survivor but restarted the save to mess around, so i guess next will be hunter

[plain imp]

awwwwwhhhshhahw

this scug looks like the color of hunter

||omg a baybe || (gourmand spoiler)
