new download

don't take my word as law since i don't own standalone so don't know for sure, but, on steam, the new version is still very much a wip and is only in a beta branch because of it. i imagine that when the new version is complete enough and replaces the old version on the store page over there, it would then get packaged up for a standalone release, but might not be available that way right now. i don't know if the standalone version is built for beta updates like steam is.

it's getting pretty close tho! a major update is happening any day now.

There's instructions for how to get the new version for the standalone game here: How to get the new version

Should be a link to it in the Downloads Section where you originally downloaded the java version.

I've never bought the standalone version but I assume it should be a tab that shows up at the top of the website when you're logged in if you've purchased it. How did you originally download the java version after buying it?

This is the new download section where you can download the game (both the standalone and new version): https://shop.rising-world.net/download-list/

You can also find it if you click on your avatar in the top right corner and select "Downloads" under "Shop" (it's indeed a bit hidden there)
