Wonders about the past of Rising World

Hi there!
I began playing this game since 2016 since I was a kid and since rn I am at my 20s I began wondering about the game Rising World and it's early development.

The first ever question I do wonder alot is that everytime you load a world or connect to a server, there could be seen in the loading screen a shovel wich was never implemented in the first place and do wonder was the shovel ever meant or planned to be ever added to Rising World much more before the Unity Version was planned?

(Sorry for low quality, I had to downgrade it due of max limit of 1 MG)

I do wonder what things where planned previously in Rising World's early development.

Is red 51 very open minded to discuss about the old game even tho is a small community? But some people like me do get wonders sometimes.
