First playable version now available!

Does the new Unity version work on 32-bit x86 processors?

No, unfortunately the new version only supports 64 bit - just like the Java version.

I'm using a good gaming computer with high speed internet, but the demo is completely unplayable for me due to lag and extreme blurring every time I move my head. When I hold still, the scenery is beautiful, but I'm getting worried that I'll no longer be able to play this game at all once the new version is the only one available. This is the only game that I'm having this issue with.

I'm sorry to hear that! Could you maybe share some hardware information about your machine? If your computer meets the minimum requirements of the game, you should at least be able to play the game with good framerates on low settings.

The blurriness, however, could be caused by motion blur. It's getting intense in case of lags, but you can disable it in the graphics settings.

Also...are we supposed to be able to access our inventory in the demo? Or craft anything at all, such as a workbench or a campfire? If so, I'm unclear how to access them in this version.

You can open the inventory by pressing tab, but unfortunately crafting isn't implemented yet. However, you can either pickup the objects in the scene (like the campfires or furniture), or spawn them via console commands.

Mattuk56 Oh I see! Thanks for the clarification! Yes, that should be possible, but unfortunately I can't say much about that yet since we haven't started working on VR support yet... currently we don't have a Quest 2 (which would be required to support it properly), but if the sales of RW improve once the new version is a bit more fleshed out, we could work on a VR version

CedarMan Unfortunately the current net earnings aren't enough to make a living

Btw, a small update for the new version is now available It should fix some of the issues the first release had - for instance the paint roller should work now. We've also fixed issues with native libs on Mac and Linux, but if you still encounter any issues, please let us know!

Great. What's the thinking behind displaying all steam friends on the title page, even if they don't own RW?

Good question The main problem is that we cannot reliably find out which friends actually own the game (unless they're playing RW). At least the list gets sorted properly (so friends playing RW will always be shown at the top), but maybe we can add some filter options for the friends list

Quote from vinehold

Would players hang around on that screen to see who was playing though when they can see that info in the Steam friends list?

Oh, the main idea behind the friends list is that you can use it to join the game of other players directly (without having to switch to the Steam friendlist) Of course that doesn't work at the moment, since the multiplayer isn't ready yet. But basically it will be like the friend list in the Java version^^

Personally I find title/intro/main menu screens just a barrier to the action after I've seen them once. Maybe I'm just very impatient

If you're always playing on the same world (or on the same multiplayer server in the future), you could set the Game_ConnectTo option in the config.properties file (e.g. Game_ConnectTo=New World) - then the game skips the main menu

Actually you can also skip the loading screen by setting Game_SkipLoading to true - although that's only helpful when using fly mode (otherwise you'll be frozen anyway until the world is generated)

Haha, the paintroller works now and everything I attempted to paint is now all random colors.

Hehe, glad to hear it works now

Also, I hope you and KingGenius have a very merry Christmas!

Thanks a lot for your kind words! I hope you have a Merry Christmas too!

Quote from Batta

My paintroller is painting everything black/dark brown. Is there a way to configure it?

Currently there are just some hard-coded colors, but you can change them by pressing the right mouse button In the future, there will be various dyes (and, in creative mode, you will be able to set arbitrary rgb colors)
