me and bitsbug originally made this sign language system to communicate with eachother in Rainworld because voicechat is a pain and pausing to type is annoying. A visual legend was made mainly for quick referencing... but then it was posted on tumblr... so now heres a more in-depth video version for people who actually want to use it themselves.
eek ahh oof youtoube wont let me make the links clickable

not included in the list of signs is jumping up and down to signify joy or "liking" something (subtitled in the example as [yippee], and excessive crouching to signify distaste or "disliking" something (subtitled in the example as [loser] cause we use it as an insult too)
Theese are the "ritualistic dances which you tell eachother my location" 5P was talking about to rivulet
True
I love how moon is just patting yourself on the back.
@@Whydoiexisthere-i imagine it's meant to emulate the rising and setting of the moon, although how a slugcat would see a moonrise is beyond me!
@@abefaerber7994top of 5P’s can or on top of chimney canopy most likely.
maybe it is them remembering recieving affection from moon
I like how the ai scavs and player controlled scugs have very similar ways of communicating
I wonder if that scavs recognize those signs

@@TheMoonlight1711 scug?
imagine if there was a mod that made slugpups or scavs respond to these
Feel like that would be extremely difficult to make
@@Demoknightf2 It would be really cool though!
I would love this. It would make these creatures' inteligence really show
would be cool if it also showed what you're trying to communicate in symbols above your slugcat but i think it should be toggleable
They actually do have movements that they respond to differently! Granted it's only responses of "playtime", "no playtime", and "stay" but the framework is there
I don't think you realise how much I would watch the HELL out of a whole playthrough with you two.
Fax
literally. just record like an hour or so of footage/highlights would be cool
I'd watch that for sure! Would be like watching an alien documentary with the sound off :0
it would be the most entertaining nature documentary
letsplay with them, their sign language AND subs that translate the language would've been a great way to memorise it too
I like to think this is how slugcats actually communicate.
It is now
some of these would tire out gourmand so quickly

this is adorable. i love when players come up with subtle communication in games and this one is the most complex i've seen :D fun stuff
i would literally kill to see a full co-op playthrough done like this, no voice chat or texting. just slugsign.
“Month 2,day 10
Since my arrival on this planet, I’ve rarely ever seen the local fauna partake in communication. Last month,I caught my first glimpse. The slugcats appear to be communicating in some form of signing. After a few days of careful observation,I’ve written a sheet describing the meaning I observed in their signs. This is quite the breakthrough!”
-unknown pathfinder,AD:2125
the comment section lore is getting deep, oh boy
wowza! nice
Month 4, day 12
Ever scince i made this breakthrough i attempted to comunicate with them, the fairly restrictive lanbuage of very litle words made it quite the challange, the fact that i was an unknown creature larger than them did not help but nontheless i tried. What follows is the "conversation" between me and a slugcat wandering in my encampment:
@@deboraluz27 The slugcat seemed to be waving at me from the safety of some algae-like plants, trying to get my attention. I respond.
“You”
The slugcat waits, as if I had a whole sentence to finish, to which I was unable to craft, I was too unsure.
After a moment, it “says” something. It was a complex string of movements, all of which with a meaning, a meaning I was barely holding onto.
“You predator..you…… me scared..”
I hesitated with my response, I was thoroughly thinking my movements, to present myself as friendly, yet curious.
“Me follow you”
The slugcat springs back to the direction it came from, too quick and agile for me to follow. Though I was unable to record their language, I did find out how fascinating their movement was!
@@deboraluz27Slugcat: *points at a random pack of rations, likely asking for food*
5pebbs was spot on with scug communication methods
Good to see that repeatedly crouching is still the gamer's sign of peace.
"you", *starts headpating aggressively*
Thank you for the 23 minute scug sign language lesson, this will come in handy
As someone who barely knows about the game and doesn't own it, I agree
@@ameep168 As someone who plays the game, but doesn't have multiplayer or any friends to play it with, I also agree
@@evorathesylvurr As someone who plays the game and hosts a lot of co-op sessions with my friends but constantly forgets how to point, I also also agree
@@unparalleledinnocenceas someone who plays almost exclusively with my friends on their computers i also also also agree
@@eyemoisturizeras someone, I agree
5:47 ah, the joyous dance of finding shelter after a long day in a cycle. highly relatable.
i only ever used this system to pet scavengers, but this is still neat
Good use
Okay,i want you all to imagine this:the Hunter campaign with four people on the hard setting (everyone must survive) with friendly fire enabled AND only using slugsign.
Truly a scug moment
Just make them all Rivulet
@@jessiesowter rivulet players would do the things before doing the sings
That would be absolutely hecktic
With individual karma and food
If anyone does plan on using this, I would recommend getting the mods;
"Slugsign Captions" by Actually A Spider, which, as the name would suggest, would provide readable captions to slugsign you do.
"S Word Pass" by The doge, which lets you set custom keybinds to the different slugsigns, which I would assume it works just fine with "Slugsign Captions" (basically, it has custom macro's for certain actions sequences that would play when the set button is pressed.)
"Jolly Rebind" by SabreML, which lets you at least set a custom key to the pointing action, making it MUCH EASIER than double tapping the map button.
This feels like a glimpse into actual slugcat life, like if monk and survivor managed to barrely clutch their hands while going through the rapids and now have to find their way home together
This is super cool, but I would personally like to use some more body movements like jumping, crouching, turning etc. because they are easier to remember.
Since you jump, crouch, and turn so much it’d be difficult to tell what’s communication and not
so unbelievably creative-
i love how "food" looks like eating and each carry looks like lifting someone or being lifted
and predator! it's like a lizard jaw or a clawed hand going, "rawr"
man I wish scavs could understand this that'd be so cool
And slugpups, come to think of it
Monk and survivor find each other and finally head home
This is an alternate universe where monk didn't get separated from survivor and they stayed together until they got back to the treee
Gosh, this makes me want a persistent MMO/online version of Rain World even more. I know that's a weird thing to want, I mainly mean being able to explore the same world as other players, and bump into each other out in the wild, make friends and enemies... and the slug sign would be such a cool and immersive tool in your belt for communicating with others and stuff, I love it.
This did a better job at teaching me another language than my Spanish teacher.
My Spanish teacher left to become a music man.
I would switch the "relax" and "predator" signs as the relax one looks like a "careful, stay behind while I see if it's safe" and the other one transmits reassurance to me, like little pats from the ground. Maybe both can mean the same but for two directions and an agitated version means predator and a slow version means relax
yea i guess you can interpret like that! the way we kind of saw it was that "predator" kind of looks like a slugcat miming the jaws of a lizard (scary pred with big teeth!) and relax is just a scug scratching its butt
@@gameboy-20 oh nice, if you put it that way I can see it
From more of a worldbuilding perspective rather than a gameplay one, I love the idea of both of these interpretations being in use by slugcats. That is, some groups using the lizard jaw imitation technique to signal danger where the same signals relaxed reassurance to others. A bit like how some languages have similar-sounding words with completely different meanings. I think as a whole the idea of there being this varying interpretability lends itself well to immersion.
@@gameboy-20i think this will make for a fun challange! The only way to comunicate is htrough theese gestures plus some extra complications like expedition, randomizer or pups
Also predator is done while lying down and much more inconvenient while relax is done standing up. So switching them would make both much more appropriate for the situations they’re in.
This is so creative and interesting, I'm immediately imagining all kinds scenarios where this gets used in game. Like one is asked to scout ahead for stuff and the other says to [stay]. I also like the idea of potential chains, like in another scouting scenario where the other says [question]: [region] (pointing to a certain pipe) [predator]? Then the scout checks and comes back with a [yes] or [no]. Silent communication like this is so lovely, it reminds me of games like Journey where you really just have wordless yet beautifully intricate interactions. Something about it is so nice.
I really like how 5p's sign can be interpreted both as the ring of pearls he has around himself or the fact that he's very guarded and hostile (with the sign looking like shields at his sides), while Moon's reminds me both of the act of the sun setting, a crescent moon shape, and the fact she's very kind and patient (and would, most likely, pet the slugcats if prompted, which is what the sign can also look like).
Very creative and easy to understand! A couple of signs one after the other can quickly craft a simple sentence that will get your point across faster than typing. The [scav] + [object] to mean pearl is genius imo
yes yes yes i like this comment. my personal interpretation is the 5P sign is a scug swiping at its ears like "its the guy with the antennae" but i love this also
Also (As another comment said) The Moon sign is done crouching where Pebbles is done standing since Moon's can is on the ground and doesn't have legs anymore
i also saw someone else in the comments suggest the 5P sign may refer to his structure's intact legs (standing up, tracing two lines down), and the LTTM sign may refer to her structure being collapsed (lying down)! i think it's really neat how many plausible theories there are. i want to study slugcat linguistics now.
[five pebbles][loser]
For anyone here playing on controller, if you like how the keyboard version of a sign looks more than the controller version, you can emulate it a little closer by using the dpad!
thank you so much for the guide this is awesome! i never liked having to stop and type either, too annoying and immersion-breaking
These seem really interesting, though a couple might pose a risk in environments with hostiles that react to sound rather than vision? Otherwise really cool.
This makes me think of how people would find ways to communicate in a rain world mmo or similar type of game
Ooo, I love the way the slugsign for "cycle" resembles the movements of a guardian.
This would be insanely fun to watch a playthrough with - *especially* with subtitles to translate em in real time.
6:19 I appreciate that, despite the circumstances, rapidly crouching is still a universal sign of peace and teamwork.
I love how predator looks like a biting lizard, it’s so cute.
you’ve given me motivation to make a slugcat conlang thank you
Do it, I would try to learn it because f u n
@@TheNightshadeThirteen eeee i am now working on it >:] itll ideally be able to be used ingame
@@eyemoisturizerit's been 4 months, is it done?
@@BlastingRyan609 unfortunately not 😔
wo wawa wawa, wama-wawa mamo wor, mu wama
5:05 looks like Survivor is scolding monk for trying to befriend another lizard.
This is insanely cool and I NEED to do something with it.
this was my first video of rainworld and I wouldn’t have known about this game without it
poggers rainworld is amazing
THANK YOU SO MUCH! i unable my voice due to im deaf but you saving my life!
i keep seeing comments like "oh it'll be difficult to memorize all of this" or "im going to be confused if someone does this at me im not gonna understand wtf they're saying"
-- what we do is we frequently talk after co-op sessions or even pause in between cycles if there was a communication error so we can tell eachother what we INTENDED to say to them and also what we misinterpreted from the other person. it helps with memorizing too IMO.
oh or or or! if you're doing it vanilla and absolutely refusing to talk to eachother irl. "question" sign is your BEST friend. using it standalone just means "???????????????" and hopefully the other person will either try to clarify or just Give Up.
[Question] what are the "names" used for?
Like, what is the purpouse of naming an overseer or a rock?
@@deboraluz27 oh! names are welll, names we gave ourselves. "rocks" and "overseer" are just what we pretend are the "english translations" of the names lol. names are just the "me" sign combined with some kind of special movement or thing that differentiates it
@@gameboy-20 oh, kinda funny tô think artificer may have named one of her children "jetfish" tho
@@deboraluz27 oh.................. :(
And just like in tf2, minecraft and crossout: non-verbal communication
the fact you've come up with a whole sign language is so awesome!!!!! Are there anyy plans to upload more scug sign gameplay? Its so cool to watch
I adore how in depth this is i would LOVE to see it used in an actual playthrough someday
The only thing I can imagine is my confusion when I inevitably forget and someone tries this with me
This is so adorable, I'm melting please help
employer: Do you know any other languages?
Me: Slugsign
Dang this is a unique way of doing things, ill save this video lol.
If Rain World had an online mmo mode, i feel like scugsign would be the widely accepted language in it. Good job!
12:25 I had no idea there was a tunnel there... Oml... I've nearly died tryna pass through those tunnels so many times bru
I would watch the HELL out of a playthrough using this.
Now if only the slugpups would actually learn them...
If they ever make a Rain World 2 they need to add slugsign as an actual mechanic you have to learn if you want to communicate with certain AI, such as slugpups and slugcats
only a quarter way into the video and I've already forgotten most of the signs. this is rlly cool tho. also the concept is super funny, I'm just imagining a couple players going "yknow, talking is just too easy, lets make it harder >:)" I'm definitely gonna be using the ones I remember while playing.
Id love to watch a series of yall playing with subtitles like this. its mesmerizing to watch tbh
"through whatever silly dances your species communicates my existance..."
-FP
With relax it looks like the scug is slapping its butt
correct answer
It’s like watching a nature documentary
As someone learning ASL this is my new favorite thing and I WILL be teaching this to all my friends thank you
i saw the post on tumblr and now im watching this and i think its really cool that yall made a whole-ass conlang out of rain world!
i was going to make a writing system out of the glyphs they use which would be in a similar (albeit a lot less functional) vein
I saw the original post on tumblr a while back, it’s so cute
Food is just grabby hands 😂
I need the sheet of all of these I wanna do a playthrough with my friend but only using these
You can find a link to the tumblr post with the whole sheet in the description
@@charm1387 the link doesn't work
copy the link and put it into the address bar
@@jessiesowter true tho. youtube wont let me make the link clickable because im not like... a "verified" enough person or "real" or something yet :( copy paste it like other person said
Ok since the link won’t work, if you’re using the app you can copy the video link and paste it into your browser to be able to copy the link in the description.
Sign for Moon: *similar to "relax" sign*
Sign for Five Pebbles: " *_FAT_* "
this is cool i'm gonna try to memorize it even if i have no friends to play with 💔
First of all - really cool Idea! Some of the things look very similar, but can mean different things. And also, probably rakes time not to only practice, but even remember these.
Second - Revivify mode?! I need to check it out! Thank you for mentioning it.
if i had a nickel for everytime I mistook "follow me" for "question" ... the pointing system is REALLY limited but thats what makes this so fun to work on. miscommunication is HILARIOUS to look at when the slugs start angrily waving their arms around.
@@gameboy-20 Oh, I bet it is more funny in retrospect, but still - yes, that's part of the fun I think. It is actually more immersive to watch you do it, because instead of voice or just text, you see slug cats doing something to communicate. And then the "subtitles" make it super easy and gun to follow.
I would watch the playthrough like this
I don’t even play or watch Rainworld but this is so captivating
PLAYTHROUGH RN. I want to see more scug language in action.
this inspired me to officially implement simple gestures (basically pointing various directions) into my survival horror game I'm making (think DST/Starveio meets Spooky's Jumpscare Mansion)
there will also be more important things you can use them for.
Thank you for aquiring us knowledge to understand and imploy sluguange
I love when people come up with a way of communication with limited resources
This is so freaking brilliant
damn, rainworld is so good they reinvented sign language.
Its cool how slugsign is even a thing its like their own language
holy fucking shit that shot at 14:48 was insane
we gaming
@@gameboy-20 thanks to you i have now nearly mastered upward and downward throws and use them to kill wigs (can't upthrow into them because that requires going under them but you _can_ make a pole in the ceiling to hang from and stab them ∑:3) and stab lizards i'm fighting so thank you
this is under rated
This video is literally the reason i discovered Rain World and i got really attatched to the game and the community xD
16:59 the little spat between them here is hilarious
This is either how Slugcat speak to each other or how Seven Red Suns and Spearmaster spoke to each other.
I don't even play this game, this is insane. Very cool and makes me really interested in this game again.
This is so unbelievably cool. Would love to see a playthrough using this
14:49 my man sent that batfly into space
This is really cool! I love how much effort you guys put in it
Me and my friend dont have a set way on communicating in game but, we did somehow develop a sign when he wants to carry me. He'd crouch, stand and then again crouch 3 times in front of me xD
I first read this as “Slugworld Rainsign”
Dude this is amazing how you people made a whole slugcat language it makes me wish i could play rain world with someone to use this language in game. You guys should also put a link to all the images of the basic idea of how to do the signings
this is such a cool idea! i love that there’s a way to do this in this game, really neat :)
I would personnaly use the same stay motion as with pups and the "sleep" emote for shelter
This is amazing, I love it so much!
Oh! I remember seeing this on tumblr! Cool that you made a vid on it :)
i'd love to see random anonymous multiplayer like Journey. i think it fits this game well
i remember when i first saw the comic of you two bullying five pebbles and it lived in my head rent free
this is amazing!! you sign so fluently to each other. how many hours of co op do you have?
thank you for making the peace sign similar to Minecraft crouching
I thought "stay" would've been ya crouching and pattin the floor lol
Same lol, but it's realy just circling the location you want them to be in
while i feel hopping in place twice makes a better 'stay' command from past use in training slugpups, i feel like this is a really comprehensive system that i could see being used widely by fans! good on you for the creativity!
7:45 I like how the noodledly goes to the direction the player is pointing at
