    Greetings!


    It's been over decade, since I wrote anything to any forum, but this game brought me back to basics. 8)

    Some of these ideas are surely already said, in paper or in progress (or even in game already), but here are some of my thoughts.

    These ideas are not meant to be "must have in-game", but more like give some extra thoughts for developers.


    EDITS:

    Color of the EDIT #1: RED


    Overall:

    - Leveling (main level, skills...)

    - Economy (see Crafting section below). This would make game more MMO type and opens lots and lots of new options.

    - Quests (I believe this was already in plans). If you can make even little bit same kind of system than in Conan Exiles game has this Pippi plugin, which gives many, or I could say almost infinitive possibilities to server admins to construct a wonderful server for players, I would be more than happy about it. ^^

    - Alchemy system for potions.

    - Trinket slots for character.

    - Trading between characters (maybe trading window or just keep item in hand click certain button to hand over item(s) to another player).

    - Talent tree for skills.

    - Crafting Levels (one skill point per level. At every level player could choose either: Faster Crafting = Player picks crafting station to decrease amount of time producing items with it. For example, player likes to use less time in front of Spinning Wheel, he could spend point to decrease 5%. More Productive = One skill point gives 5% more items to from that certain crafting station. Maximum amount percent could be 50%. Maximum level per crafting station is 10 in both Faster Crafting and More Productive).


    Monsters:
    - I'd say, that monsters should spawn mainly in caves / dungeons / hell / specified maps.

    - With "random" code, bosses could spawn in very rare cases on surface (land and water).

    - Sea monsters would be nice...smaller ones inside of map and between maps bigger ones (or bosses such as seven-headed Hydra or Kraken at Deep ocean maps).

    - Griffon (rare, spawn in the Mountains, Highlands)

    - Minotaur (very rare, spawn in the Maze islands)

    - Behemont


    Animals:

    - Gorillas

    - Monkeys

    - Giraffes

    - Lizards

    - Seagulls (I can hear them in-game as little bird's chirping, but can't see any) (not Steven thou :D)

    - Tigers (and rare white tigers)

    - Hippopotamus

    - Individual fishes and fish lofts

    - Bats

    - Crocodiles

    - Electrical eels

    - Eagles

    - Dodos (easter egg)

    - Rooster (for breeding with chickens, in later development state)

    - Sharks

    - Dolphins


    Character status: (optional for host to turn on or off from server side)

    - Poisoned

    - Fever (too hot or cold for too long)

    - Blindness

    - Some animals and monsters could give different debuff status.


    Structures:

    - World generated structures. This just gave me an idea, that players could send one of their blueprints to some kind of playful contest. Developers then could add that blueprint as a random structure in-game.

    - Ruins

    - Oil rigs (randomly at any ocean areas or only in Deep Ocean biomes). Some of them are fully operational and some needs fixing. Rigs could be claimable or perhaps available to all anytime. A place for bucket to collect oil.

    - Underwater cities (breathable, in Deep Ocean biomes or randomly anywhere).


    Food & Ingredients:

    - Recipe book (character can learn to make meals)

    - Meals can be eaten only sitting on chair in front of table. Meals could give character different kind of buffs for certain time (stamina, health, glowing, faster running / swimming, warmth, more attack / defence, etc.)

    - Leveling for making a food.


    Ores:

    - Copper (for making wire, plate and coins)

    - Tin (less valuable sale and making trinkets)

    - Kimberlite (inside of it, sometimes can be found diamonds). Idea here is, that you can't straight find any diamonds from the game, but you have to build Modern separator to grind kimberlite first. Then you recieve kimberlite crumbs from the modern separator to Ore pan and after that you put crumbs to Washer to separate possible diamonds from kimberlite.

    - Emerald (for making enchanments and valuable for sale)

    - Sapphire (for making enchanments and valuable for sale)

    - Silver (for making coins, pistol and valuable for sale)

    - Platinum (extremely rare ore, can be smelted only via Electrical Burner)

    - Zinc (for making a Bucket)


    Collectable:

    - Oil (from Oil Rigs, needs bucket)

    - Flowers (for Alchemy)


    Vehicles:

    - Wagons (up to 5 players, one in front and max four in wagon. Alternative you could transfer more items, size of 4-5 chests).

    - Hot air balloon (up to 3 players)

    - Water airplane (one rotor small plane, which can land on water). This kind of vehicle, because at some point, the map on the server will expand quite a bit.

    - Cruiser (partly roofed boat with a map and compass included) (up to 5 players)

    - Viking longboat (up to 8 players)

    - Submarine or Diving bell (for Deep ocean maps)


    Crafting:

    - Ore pan (used in rives to find minerals and with Modern separator and Washer)

    - Stove for sauna. :P

    - Modern separator (better grinder)

    - Washer (helps separate valuable ores)

    - Coin mold (for copper, silver and gold coins)

    - Molds for trinkets.

    - Molds for alchemy

    - Generator (for example, helps to pump water, gives small amount electricity)

    - Electrical wire (copper ore)

    - Hose

    - Automated watering system on fields (needs generator and hoses)

    - Scarecrow

    - Bucket (made from: Iron=less durable and capacity, Zinc=more durable and capacity)

    - Well (it could be constructed anywhere or it could only be built up to a certain height above ocean level)

    - Electrical Burner (needs Electrical Workbench)

    - Electrical Workbench (needs iron and copper plates & wire, gold and plastic)

    - Plastic (needs Oil, prepared by using Refinery and Colander)

    - Refinery (used for making)


    Weathers:

    - Maelstorm (brutal wind and lightning)

    - Whirlpool (can be activated ocean areas during heavy rain)

    - Lightining Storm

    - Hailstorm

    - Meteor Shower (Super Volcano biomes)

    - Blizzard (heavy wind and almost zero visibility with extra cold temperature, only arctic biomes)


    Biomes:

    - Highlands

    - Super volcano (lots of undeground tunnels and caves and on surface intermittent eruptions and lava flows, maybe even occasionly flying lava balls from volcano around the map)

    - Craters (land area is below the sea level and waterfalls around as in Niagara Falls)

    - Jungle

    - Swamp

    - Floating Islands (islands are in the air and different heights) (accesible only via flying vehicles)

    - Deep Ocean (no islands, just deeper ocean areas than other maps)


    UI:

    - "Take All" -button to looting targets and storages.

    - "Store All" -button to storages



    WELL....There's some thoughts so far. :thinking:


    I know, making a game needs time and determination.

    Strength to developers.

    Edited 2 times, last by Freyor: Adding more thoughts. ().

    I think these are some great ideas. I'm new to the game and I think that even some of these ideas added in game would add a lot of depth in gameplay. Currently it feels that you can rush the tech-tree pretty fast and gain access to the best stuff a bit too soon in my opinion.


    I think people are not going to stick for the long run just for building structures, unless there is dedicated server / community running things aka like lifesim. Just my two cents.


    Great ideas and for the devs, keep up the good work. It really shows you put some love and dedication to the game.

    I just made few thoughts more and I update this thread's first post's content time to time, so I don't make new posts under this thread, unless needs to comment someone's post.

    Thanks to Syrix and Doktorkookojambo.


    I agree Jambo's comment, that tech-tree is pretty rushable at this point, but I also understand, that this new version is at early state and more is yet to come.

    Would it be more reasonable to throw that video to whole new thread? I also looked that video's content and I can't see any interesting points in it, what comes to Rising World. I hope you are not advertising your own or friend's game via that video?! Because then it should place to off-topic section. And if you look other's made blueprints, there's enough options to make very complicated buildings / objects. Also, I don't see any connection to my thread with this. I mean, should I add something from this video's content to my first post, or something else??

    Wow! are people quick to judge others! I stumbled across this video, I don't know the guy, and I have not looked further than what I saw from the video.

    • The idea of pointing one location, setting what we're trying to create (i.e. an horizontal line, vertical line, area fill, an arc, etc.) and move mouse to where the shape should end. In the video, an example of this is shown at 2:44, or at 3:21, or at 7:47
    • Symmetrical block placement, as shown at 3:18.
    • Automatic resizing to target, as shown at 8:27, or at 9:16.
    • Ground painting, path curves, etc., as shown at 9:50.

    Can we discuss about features and ideas instead of accusing people, please?

    I didn't see any accusation.


    1.You can draw a line with blocks in rising world


    2. Symmetrical placement is possible, though not at once but with pivot points it's easy


    3. Possible in rw


    4. Ground painting if possible in rw. In survival as well as creative



    I see nothing new. Rising world does all of that and more

    Avanar You can also draw a line with beams, even with very thin beams it looks even better.


    I think Rising World is the crème de la crème of building games and anyone inspired by another game should probably stick with this one or try to explore Rising World's technical capabilities. I don't mean any offense, of course, we're Just discussing things here. ^^

    Would love to see a tutorial building complex curves or shapes. I tried to create a curved slope and quit when I saw that I could not align the pieces together perfectly. Same thing with a geodesic dome; aligning a block between two angled blocks is such a pain.

    The idea that I would shamefully promote someone else's game, here, is ridiculous. Why having to mention it at all? That's what I meant by accusations.


    1. I Know that we can do a line, or fill an area. We can't do an arc without manually aligning the blocks. We can't do a hollow block either. The "hollow sphere" block does not resize big enough for most builds, so manually creating a sphere becomes necessary. And it's currently a pain.
    2. Again, every block needs to be manually rotated. I mean symmetrically place blocks. In fact, this feature would be useful to create spheres and such.
    3. No, you can't drag the sides of a block with the mouse. It's all about keyboard keypress and manually aligning the pieces. You can't drag the corner of a block to resize it.
    4. That is not true. If you can "paint", you have to manually draw the path, point by point. Most servers do not allow creative mode, and "painting" a large area must be done painfully one section at a time.

    Let this be clear, I am NOT criticizing RW! I'm simply sharing some ideas of how things can be improved.

    Honestly, and don't take as an offense please, you didn't look into rising world sufficiently yet.


    1. And 2. Yes, you can. With magnetic function and pivot points it's super easy


    3.sure you can drag. If you mean though moving a piece you do that with the keyboard, right. But you can decide with what precision. You can do steps of 1,2 or even 5 blocks per step or as detailed as 0.001 blocks per step.

    And if that isn't enough you can aim with the mouse at the point you want to have the block at before you place it. With grid or magnetic function it's again super easy


    4. Ever tried to use +/- or pgup/dn when holding i. E. Sand in your hand? It will increase the area you edit in survival.



    Don't take it the wrong way. You just suggested ideas from another game that are already in rising world, even more advanced in some ways.

    When leveling, there has to be an incentive why you do it, as well as a mechanic that makes you do it all the time without controlling it with the higher and higher level and equipment, as in so many MMORPGs. After the max level (100) there should be ways and means to become a more legendary villain/hero, who gets more attribute points through his reputation points/deeds, which makes him stronger. But reputation points/deeds would have to be reduced over time/forgotten, which is why you have to stay active regularly.

    I would breed monsters with Mutagen, which can be obtained from albino skin with alchemy. They should then only multiply like the villagers in Minecraft, so you could wipe them out again in survival if necessary.
