Threat - Sliver of Straw (Deadlands) | Rainworld

[@inschaal8454]

As you crawl through the corpse of the long dead god you stumble into a large open room, you can hear screams in the distance. They are getting louder and louder until they stop. You stand still, cowering in fear. You hear a ping noise and golden eyes light up in the darkness. Whatever had destroyed this iterator hadn’t left and it had found you.

[@archdruidbookwalter951]

Arbiter then appears holding a blue fruit. They give it to Saint, who happily eats it and leaves. "Sorry about that, he gets a bit cranky when new people show up around here. But he's actually really nice if you get to know him."

[@victoralexandervinkenes9193]

My personal head canon is that, although Saint wasn't SoS' triple affirmative, Saint is related to hers. The Seer, or as she was known as following SoS' "Ascension," the Oracle.

[@maximeleninja4029]

​@@victoralexandervinkenes9193 Maybe Saint is one of the many successors of the first slugcat created by SOS being given the ability to ascend other beings.

Threat - -Sliver of Straw- *_Saint_* | Rainworld

[@The_DeltaV]

Listened from 2:50 to 3:56 during the totality phase of the eclipse today. It fit SO WELL with my sheer awe. Then the second time, we saw a BAT that came out because it thought it turned to night. And again, it fitted really well. You did an amazing job with this

[@MatvisSleepy]

Thank you!! Glad it fit with the atmosphere hehe

[@rocket4227]

Gosh this might be my favorite threat theme. Sundown aside (the easiest way into a rain world player's heart), the beat and buildup is superb. I love everything about this piece, thank you for making it.

[@MatvisSleepy]

Thank you so much!!! Really happy you enjoyed it this much!^^

[@chyidi9144]

WE ARE GETTING THE TRIPLE AFFIRMATIVE WITH THIS ONE 💢💢💢💢💥💥💥💥‼‼‼‼

[@songalong7680]

This sounds more like an analog of Random Gods and Reflection of the Moon, but for Sliver of Straw.

[@schnurgle]

What I enjoy the most of this song is how absolutely powerful the Leitmotif sounds. With Moon's theme, it's so quiet, refracted, shining and blinking through many different holes, as though. In Five Pebble's Random Gods, it's also great, but especially at the start of the song is that it has some stubborn stillness before going into everything, and even then it sounds only like an incredible amount of data being processed. This, however, you can hear it scream at the top of it's lungs in some unknown message, singing with almost a perfect clarity. It may not be that of a live iterator. It may not be one that's truly here. But it's still standing in all it's greatness. Please make more music than this. This compares to Metropolis's threat theme, and that's saying aLOT.

[@DavidTriphon]

I’ve never played any rain world mods, besides co op and camera changes, but now I think I’m going to have to play dead lands purely because this song bops.

[@MatvisSleepy]

Thank you so much!! This is actually a future project for deadlands, the current one doesn't include this one for now! But still Deadlands team is doing an awesome job I suggest checkin it out anyways!

THIS IS SO COOL AND EXCITING… IM SO HYPED FOR DEADLANDS!! THE BUILD UP IS SO GOOD

[@MatvisSleepy]

THANK YOU! Glad u think so!!

[@Marlbarl]

A dead god, killed by something so...Small, so...Weak. Any form of 'life' or 'will' this thing had disappeared completely yet the overall structure still remains functional, now a steel mountain playing no part in breaking away from the endless cycle; yet you little creature continue to go on with no reward in sight. While it looks as a quiet paradise without predators and infinite food you will find something which will end you... or eventually lose your mind in the endless silence. Take this as your first and last warning to escape while you can.

[@saul4265]

The sundown motif here is amazing. All of Straw’s processors hum in perfect harmony, resonant of the same final thought, the Triple Affirmative having been found.

[@MatvisSleepy]

Thank you!!! And that description is amazing too!

[@rexenowner]

The sound towards the ending.. it managed to sound a lot like shuddering breaths, and of that description of dying with a great wheeze, it fits. I also thought I heard the karma sleep sound earlier in the video as well as food pip noises, but I am very tired A treat to listen to, taking the bits apart and seeing how they each feel is wonderful!

[@MatvisSleepy]

Thank you so much!! I did had fun working on every single layer of this threat, so it perfectly fits with both the story and the place!

[@MatvisSleepy]

Thank you so much!! I really think that for Sos the sundown theme would rlly fit since even tho we dont have much information abt her, she is at the literally the base of the rw lore

[@Mr_Roomba_]

[@kaurr8725]

Wow this is super cool! Feels like exploring the insides of SoS superstructure, its central mind dead, and without its guidance the still-functioning machinery running its now nonsensical computations. This is the first time hearing about the Deadlands mod. Any ideas when we might expect to see it?

[@MatvisSleepy]

Thank you!! Im reallt glad u feel that hearing it! And this is a future project for deadlands! The current one doesn't include this region yet. But deadlands itself will be releasing the first region soon!

[@DragonBallistic]

The melody has something of retro space sci fi, it's beautiful. The beat itself borderlines aggro tech and I love it. What a strange and flavourful combination.

[@fim-43redeye31]

Absolutely excellent. Personal opinion: when the Sundown motif comes in, its hitching/cutting in and out detracts from the intensity. I think it'd sound better as a continuous tone.

[@TheSandwhichman108]

Idea for a cutscene from the slugcat’s first person perspective- Nomad: … ???: …*Stares at them* Nomad: …*Slowly steps back as the creature’s eye’s glow amish the darkness* Saint: Do not be afraid child…For I am your liberator…*PING* Please…Don’t make this any harder than it needs to be… Nomad: *Runs away trying to find a way out* Saint: …*Sheds a tear*…I’m sorry traveler but…Guess we’re doing this the hard way… From this point on Saint will be searching for you in real time. Not even hiding in shelters can save you as he’ll just follow you through the pipe. You get an alternate ending if you’re caught.

[@CaptPatrick01]

And you can't kill Saint because if you do the player will just drop dead immediately after as Saint gets them in another timeline. _The only option is to run._

Once upon a time someone said challenge 70 could be possibly considered a "self-battle" and I somewhat like the idea that saint is the lingering consciousness of SoS, and their final, ultimate work; the culmination of the triple affirmative's research.

one thing i never understand about these threat themes for iterator regions: why is the threat theme meant to reflect the iterator as a character? this isn't boss music, this is music for when there's a predatory creature inside the structure. like the rot. most of the time these structures shouldn't even have threat music.
