Playercharacter Gestures

A new update is now available, introducing seasons and more!
Latest hotfix: 0.8.0.1 (2024-12-20)

    Hello,


    First of all, thank you for the continued development of Rising World. Nomen es omen I would say.


    I would be interested to see how realistic it is to give the player character the ability to perform hand gestures.

    I really want to be able to show other players the middle finger, thumbs up/down, victory/peace, Star Trek greeting, etc. and vice versa.


    At least that's how I felt when I was shown the middle finger in a game and my heart immediately felt warm. And I thought, this is brilliant and needs to be expanded.

    These would be gestures that you can do solo.


    And then there are the gestures that you could do together. For example, classic handshakes, high fives, fist greetings, etc.


    I just like the idea that it should be standard at some point.


    Realistic? Or unrealistic?


    In this sense

    I don't think gestures that offend others are acceptable;

    (sometimes it's better to think your part and not express it)

    But otherwise I am also for the expression of emotions


    You know that you can also play PvP in Rising World?

    I've heard that some people like to be a little rougher with each other and shoot each other down. In Virtual life, of course.

    In a playful way, of course.

    Without anyone having to feel attacked.

    It always depends on the rules and lore of the respective server or host.


    But yes, my only concern was to what extent such gesture animation would be possible with the engine.^^

    The problem with German games is that, in contrast to foreign games, they always refrain from depicting violence, obscene gestures and nudity. And so it happens that players always choose foreign games because they can have a blast.

    The middle finger gesture certainly doesn't matter whether you play PVE or PVP :D

    Anyone who plays PVP knows what they are getting into.

    So without that you can't have fun? That makes me think. :thinking: ;)

    Very few games sold here are German; But foreigners also have to submit to the FSK guidelines... and that's a good thing when you consider how many children are now sitting in front of the computers

    i think it all comes down to freedom of speech and freedom of expression. on my server you are free to do what you want and depict what you want. if its something not acceptable for a child i ask that you name the area in such a way to make it noticeable. i also ask that if a player is not an adult to let us know;. other than that its the childs parents that need to keep an eye on them. i guess if someone doesnt like a servers rules there are others to join. this doesnt mean i go out of my way to be offensive tho.

    I agree with you, I however have to add onto what you've noted.


    Problem with "Western" games is that Western games (intentionally) forgot (forced to forget) how to have fun to the point people have been seeking out Asian oriented games because they allow players to simply have fun over Western ones. We live in an era where everything is always falsely "offensive" removing each and every bit of fun elements in games, something Asian games (and certain indie games) tend to add back into their own games. Yes, some things may be "crude", but one also mustn't be sheltered (hiding behind a sofa) when certain aspects are shown in mediums. Best mediums are those which allow people to express things at their fullest. I'm not talking about making genitals, I'm talking about what you've noted, and much more. Being able to flip-off a hostile entity, or having more leeway in your gaming, something Asian games allow.


    Being able to ride a Moose is something which was far more enjoyable in Asian mediums, something I tried getting into Rising World, yet people threw tantrums, were abusive, manipulative, and even gaslit people. I'm glad Red51 compromised on this by allowing people to eventually mod in the ability to ride a Moose via a mount plugin extension of some sort. We have too many nit-picky and sheltered people to the point they forgot how to have fun.


    Having omitted content tends to boost gaming experiences that much more. It's always the small things which tends to add to a gameplay, as we've constantly found out time and again with each and every update for indie games.


    In short: I do agree about adding gestures, even "offended" types. Not political, just the ones noted in this topic, such as "flipping the bird". It's fine, and was used even in Medieval times to mock the British when unable to use bows & arrows having certain fingers cut off.
