theory thread time! Buckle up buckaroos, this'll be an endurance test with my few wacky theories I've come up with throughout the months leading up to release. Brace yourselves, these get wild.

Desuhiko makes an oddly specific analogy, and Halara is still flabbergasted to this day.

bingo card! Wanted to make it challenging but still broad enough to most likely tic some boxes, should be fun!
Currently working on making a Rain Code discord server! Construction is underway! The main obstacle is setting up roles and bots, but otherwise it should go pretty smoothly, especially with assistance from friends who know how to do this stuff way better than I do d( ̄▽ ̄*)b
AND IT'S NOT JUST PRE-GAME. IT'S THE REAL YAKOU! HE'S NOT WEARING SHADES AND THE CITY LOOKS LIKE IT'S LIT WITH ACTUAL SUNLIGHT! WE'RE GETTING MORE ORIGINAL YAKOU CONTENT HOMIES!
After working on it for a good while today, here's my

discord server! Other than setting up bots, it should be good to go! I'm no professional at making servers, so feel free to suggest any additions or changes I could make!
Crossing my fingers that Rain Code has multiple save files like Dangan, I'd love to have separate routes for the playthrough with my friend group and a playthrough for mostly myself. Rain Code seems to be linear for the majority, but I don't wanna miss out on any interactions.
Here it is, the (probably final)

fandub before the game's release, finishing things off with the beloved Fubuki! Don't worry, there'll still be plenty more shenanigans to come, especially with my friend group's playthrough!
Why do I have a feeling that these two may have more in common than I first thought >_>

Surprise attack! Me and a friend of mine on Discord impulsively decided to collaborate on a

fandub! He's a part of the friend group I'm in that will be playing Rain Code blind together and voicing all the character ourselves!
@kazkodaka
You should certainly be proud of your writing for Yakou! He's a fantastic character with such a well-written arc. Definitely one of, if not the best character throughout your works!
Welp, I did it. I have officially finished Rain Code for the first time! It was a month and a half ordeal with my friend group, but I wouldn't trade that time to spend on anything else. I can't wait to see where this series is taken next. I'll be with it every step of the way!

chapter 4 is here! Major spoilers ahead, so tread carefully! Come hell or high water, let's finish this game with a bang! I wonder what awaits us in chapter 5...
I thiiiiink the discord server is almost finished? I still need to work out the bot for assigning roles, but otherwise everything seems to be working okay. If I do end up messing up on permissions, I trust people to let me know and I'll fix it accordingly! I'll link it tonight!
Here's the Rain Code vibes playlist I mentioned earlier, now with 42 songs! I'll be updating it every now and then. It has a mix of future funk, synthwave, electro swing, j-pop, city pop, and anything else that fits the game's vibes!

1. Starting off with the craziest one, my aptly named 'M Night Shyamalan' theory: Vivia is actually a ghost who's Forte is actually his mortal form. All the talk of him wanting to die is referring to him wishing to have peace in the afterlife rather than being stuck on the-
Decided to make my Viviakou playlist public for anyone interested in giving it a listen! Currently has 40 songs, but I'll most likely be updating it every now and then as I continue my endless journey enjoying music.
#RAINCODE
For anyone curious about what I'll be doing when Rain Code releases, I'll be playing it nightly with my friend group! It'll be a few hours at a time, and we'll be voicing the character ourselves (I'm voicing the narration, Vivia, Yakou, and Halara)!

. We've had 3D model animations in UDG, but in RC there's so many unique and detailed movements for each emotion and position they're in. It's absolutely lovely to see.
I'm doing a funky lil experiment, involving combining my brainrot, where I put some tracks from Stray's OST over

scenes. This first one was created to test the waters, but it turned out surprisingly well.
Also that 'no comment' about if Dangan and Rain Code are in any way connected... I'm watching you Kodaka >_>
My theory that V3's outside world is Rain Code shall prevail! Maybe...! Probably not...
@DoodleMaxixmus
I think they were trying to go for a muzzle-like design for Aphex's torn beanie, but unfortunately it looks very awkward, I wish there was some other way they could've visually shown he's a street rat. I'm shocked Zilch is third, I love his dark red mixed with the uniform's blue
Listen I know I'm taking a single panel of a silly comic and running with it but man imagine how nice it feels for Aphex to sleep comfortably in a secure place with friendly colleagues, no longer fending for himself out in the cold, damp alleyways. He deserves the best sleep!
@DoodleMaxixmus
I feel bad for Aphex cause he could be very interesting in terms of his backstory, but his design just doesn't stand out much compared to the other trainees, and his Forte overall is fairly standard, regardless of the means of mastering it.

Okay cool, we just have to deal with putting spoiler warnings on any content up to chapter 4, which I was planning on doing anyway. I'm sure it's just a time limit till people can start posting anything past chapter 4. It doesn't affect me much since I'll be taking it slower.
A request regarding

user content.
TLDR: We're looking forward to your reviews and lore breakdowns, but please try not to discuss past CH. 04 (and remember to use those SPOILER tags!) Thank you!
With how many Zilch headcanons I've been writing up recently, it's only a matter of time before my profile becomes Zilch themed. Charismatic blue father figure is eternal, but so is the cat boy.

fandubs! This time, with the fashionista Melami! I realized right after finishing recording that I missed dubbing Fubuki, so she'll get the proper treatment next week!
My friend group finished chapter 4. Wow. Just wow. Never have I cried so much in a single hour of my life. The culprit and the motive is the most emotionally destructive experience I've ever gone through in the video game. It's so heart-wrenchingly well-written, it's worth it all
