Random Gods in ORCΛ

[@marcelolupatini5553]

I can't believe you put the entire world of Rain World in just a screen while playing Random Gods! Five Pebbles! Looks to the Moon! Outer Expanse's Tree! The retaining wall! The rain! The snow! Outstanding!

[@nemesisurvivorleon]

what... idk where Rain World comes in

[@Maplekittycity]

@@nemesisurvivorleon This cover is of a song from Rain World??

[@somedudewhoexists]

And multiple hidden messages as well, moons message to stop below her superstructure, “chasing wind” in the top left, and multiple other pieces of text like “all the water” below pebbles

[@olegmoki]

wait what... OH MY

[@ZINCr_aka_Q]

@@somedudewhoexists chasing wind being there is random af like chasing wind is one of the most irrelevant characters in rain world but it be how it be i guess

[@sfeqz572]

i love how it looks like rain falling and getting absorbed back into the iterators megastructure

[@B_Skizzle]

Holy shit. HOLY SHIT. I don’t have the words to express how cool this is. The world map. The rain. The "please stop" under Moon. It's so much to take in.

[@Dragonion8855]

The scug that appears at 2:06 was a nice touch too

[@dysphanic_redshift]

Oh this is *really * cool. The longer I look the more detail I notice Some fun parts I noticed: The rain falling The tree Pebbles and Moon's cans "Please stop" at the bottom of Moon's can "All the water" at the bottom The fact that the 'rain' flows into Pebbles' structure Chasing Wind at the top The Great Cycle right below CW Survivor appearing

[@Jimmyknapp2]

Something about that harsh rumbling sound and the pitch bend make me keep coming back to this.

[@talonpawmaplearrow2157]

There are so many ways to interpret this image and all of them are relevant. You can interpret this as the Rain World Map, or as General Systems Bus only. Also I looked up and saw slugcat spinning around. 10/10. The music is amazing and incredible.

[@talonpawmaplearrow2157]

The neuron fly can be reinterpreted as the inside area of underhang that serves as the entrance to five pebbles

[@talonpawmaplearrow2157]

The entire bottom also bares resemblance to the city/metropolis . The Outer Expanse tree looks vaguely like an iterator or a vulture's head

[@AshnSilvercorp]

[@Eidako]

Huh, someone made a programming language out of Conway's Game of Life. Gives me flashbacks of a copyright protection mechanism in the old Commodore 64 game Zone Ranger. It was a fairly typical space shooter, but if you flew into one area on a bootlegged copy, the world would explode into a surreal, glitched out mess and you'd find yourself flying between random snippets of text and game assets before inevitably touching something that would make you explode. I get the feeling, old/retro tech like this straddles the threshold between our world and Plato's world of Forms.

[@dragondragon8546]

Conway's game of life has more direct variants, which I think have varying degrees of proofs for turing completeness. Personally I think it's cool but kinda impractical, but art doesn't need to be practical, so it's as good a medium as any. Can't wait for brainfuck's doom release to happen. (A joke because there's probably already a brainfuck version of doom)

[@Schnort]

Do you know where I can find footage of this Zone Ranger C64 copy protection mechanism? I really want to see what it looks like, but I'm not finding any relevant results from youtube and google searches.

[@Eidako]

@@Schnort Not surprising -- a specific copy of an obscure game from 40 years ago isn't going to have many surviving artifacts. It's only because of the efforts of half-crazy archivists that we even have longplay videos from that era. Since my memory is the only evidence of the glitch I know of, all I can do is use circular logic and say it looked a lot like this video. XD

[@Schnort]

@@Eidako Ah great, thanks, lmao. Maybe someday I'll get into cracking old games and see if I can do it wrong enough to trigger the protection.

[@lakewaltz]

Havent seen anyone point out the "please stop" just below LTTM :( cool code/music btw very awesome

[@Greenpixel16]

oh wow this is REALLY accurate it even feels like something that'd happen inside of five pebbles! almost makes it feel like the song in the game is coming from the world itself

[@lixlip]

Sometimes... Very rarely... Does the Internet have its treasures...

This is my favourite thing to come out of rainworld

[@arielsdead]

[@rivulet6789]

"hey what do you play?" "PROGRAMING LANGUAGE"

[@hollowknightenjoyer]

oh my grub this is perfect. youve done it all, draw the iterator structures and oe , make the very complicated music cover, all in this sort of "programming language for music" from what i understand. also a slug appears at around 2:13, neat! this is very beatiful. even a literal chasing wind in the top right, its great. good job

[@wildergarden6455]

This is awesome! Both beautiful musically and visually. Like watching an ant colony at work. The vw/ve trick for bouncing gliders is super clever and i am definitely stealing that lol.

[@Ongomato]

Haha, thank you. That's why we love orca right, solving all those little spatial problems is a lot of fun.

[@ThatMathEnjoyer]

​@@Ongomatowhat is orca? It looks interesting

[@Ongomato]

@@ThatMathEnjoyer Sorry for late reply. It's a music making tool. Orca is a programming language for controlling musical instruments, that is represented in a nice visual way. Each symbol is either some data or an operator that read, modifies or creates that data. It's very fun to play with, and you can make some interesting complex stuff in it. It doesn't make sound by itself though, it just generates midi signal.

[@Bartyron]

I don't understand any of it, but it's amazing. Well done, i guess!

[@SayDave]

same lol i think its the coding of the song idk, like what happens inside. i could totally be wrong

[@jebbsredemption]

@@SayDave It's the coding of the song BUT ALSO the rain world map! Look, you can even see Big Sis Moon's message to Five Pebbles saying to stop taking all the water.

[@SallyStearnsVerified]

I’m thinking it’s like the DaVinci code except NOT?

[@kronk0]

It sounds so close to the original, and there's so many easter eggs, idk how you thought of this but it's extremely impressive.

[@amberkatanimations6585]

how... how are you visualising rain world while also playing one of the most complex(i think) songs in rain world perfectly... it's beautiful

[@zomhuman6270]

this looks like five pebbles' memory arrays making this music

[@Santos.Sarmento]

For me this works as a retro futuristic surreal music videoclip for a very clever and advanced audience.

[@die_now3431]

The way survivor just floats in is so funny

[@Cati_Offical]

I'd like to think that this is what the song sounds like in the game. Hearing an iterator even process anything probably sounds like this, and with the wavers of tone is a thought moving to another, an idea moved to another idea. Prossesing if it would even work just like that! And the crinkling noise could be just the rain falling at 2:58! Its just so awsome

[@Kirbman]

I have no idea what I'm looking at here, but it looks very impressive.

I have stumbled upon this video it has piqued my interest and curiosity. It seems that this video is a portal into a world that I have yet to fully comprehend. I've allowed myself to be immersed in the experience and let the mystery unfold before me but my brain is not braining can some one explain what this is.

[@vsevkad]

Thank you for this! Thanks to you, I found this program, it is very interesting to learn. Now I roughly understand what happens on the screen. Moreover, you made it not just a melody, but an art! Which sample did you use? Is it more than one?

[@Ongomato]

Thank you, I'm glad this inspires people to check out the program! The art aspect of the patch was a lot of fun to do and it evolved naturally over the iterations, almost as if it made itself. As for the samples, there's a bit more going on behind the scene that i didn't show in the video, there's a whole Reaper project with a bunch of tracks(5 or 6 of them iirc) one is splitting notes and sending to the rest of them. Each track uses Vcv rack to generate sound, so it's all synthesized in real time. The sounds are an approximation of what I'm hearing in the original, and it was kinda hard to get close to the sound and i think it has a lot of room for improvement still. In the end it was supposed to be more about Orca and less about sound synthesis so i guess it's ok.

[@sazaam]

Awesome dedication here, simply Phantastic! would you mind telling us what is the synth you used behind or where the sound is actually generated please?

[@Ongomato]

Thank you! Sure, so, i send the midi signal to a DAW(I'm using Reaper), there it gets split into 3 different channels based on velocity and then routed to 5 different tracks(serving as instruments basically) The only synth is VCV Rack(virtual modular) and most of the signal generation and filters are Surge XT modules. There's also an improvised FM synth on one of the tracks, but it's all very hacked together just to make it work for this particular project. Most of the time i'm not very happy with the rigidity of normal synths and when i know what i'm doing VCVRack allows me to build exactly what is needed, so yeah, great synth!
