While we are waiting for more updates, Another Building Game has entered the arena.
Alchemist's Awakening was just released on steam , Like rising world it contains animals, Building and one other thing, You can create life. It is well worth watching the you tube videos and having a look at the steam page. I put it on my wish list to see how it goes.
Astral terra is also doing great. The biomes in this game are darn near photo realistic, however the Building and terraforming are not there yet.
Blockscape seems to be headed in a mind craft direction and Metaverse was such a let down.
