What We Like about Rising World.

- Weather: it's nicely done with how it has overcast, rain, heavy rain, and thunder. Even that fog that rolls in with multiple levels. The white snowy fog is something you should naturally experience in the game, as with the morning after a freezing rain event causing the area to be misty foggy shiny white.

- Lakes: these are by far the best biome in the game. It has that nice attention to detail that you can get coves, bumpy edges, and neat views out of it when paired up with pine forests. Quite a beautiful bumpy biome.

- Gramophone with how you can now collect music while also having a wider variety to them. Just love how you can listen to the older versions of the free royalty music, such as the 'Flight of the Valkyrie'. It's one of those tracks I want to re-obtain in my multiplayer world.

- Torches & Lights: How you can hold a torch that it lights up everything around. As you move, so does the light. It's the best feature. When you go underwater anything that's fire dims out.

It's the level of passion behind everything that makes everything stand out in realism and awesomeness. I love it. The building complexity, the food, the thirst, survival aspect. The whole 'Skyrim' take to it in a Minecraft manner.

Good idéa !

What I like in Rising World :
- Building. Yes, it took time for each build you want. More time than you expect because you try beams, banisters, blocs combinations and you realize you can add details everywhere.
- Lights and render : once you "finish" (I never really finish a build ^^) and you walk across, you have a smile. @ArrticuKitsu talked about Skyrim and I agree : the builds are real, have great ambience in it. It's feel alive.
- actives workbench and in game placements. I had a blast the first time I build a furnace and put my first ore into. The new workenches add more, and the grinding wheel or taming rack or spinning wheel have the same behavior : you really interact and not only play with button in a GUI. The size of worbenches and the fact we have to work with : we have reason to build specific houses for this workbench.
- consistency of development. Yes, it take time too. but each update is smart and add to the game. I feel Red51 knows where he wants to go.
- Flares ! when I'm tired of building, I search for deep caves. with torches, some planks and flares, I have a great time
- Ambience : sounds effects underground are amazing, the music (the new one is very calm, I love it), the fog in the forest in the morning.

Sorry for my english !

I have to note the music also when it comes to underground, as well as the few new BGM types for the surface. I believe I heard the new one that came with the map update. And yes, I love how the textures readjust to make it look natural. There's just lots to this, as well as the rock crusher to make gravel, as well as the loom, the hide display to make leather, and such. It's all awesome, I love it.

I absolutely Lurvve this game, i never played minecraft wich i believe is similar to this but that game looked a bit childish/cartoonist to me hence why i never played it.... But this game ticks all the boxes for me..love the building/minning foraging,farming small things like picking flowers , hearing the animals as you go by them (not the ones that kill me tho ) the sunset even tho i wish that would last a bit longer b4 it gets dark,at the moment i really cant fault it !! such a great relaxing way to waste some hrs pottering around doing my own thing.....with the rain and wind i expect to hear some lightning crack but not yet lol that would be awesome too.. Endless possabilities to be had Such a massive fan ( A GREAT GAME )

I too like what others have already said, but I love how the dev prepared script/plugin/APIs.
This is the first game that made me feel "Coding a plugin might be fun and worth a shot!".

Sorry, I forgot one more thing.

Having played Minecraft heavily I loved the whole open world freedom of it, something Rising World now has and in greater detail. I love how you can mine up your resources, go anywhere, do anything, something Rising World does better in areas. I respect Minecraft because it allowed me to get in touch with building, surviving, exploring, and everything inbetween. I can't just shun it, even having played it. Minecraft is a neat game you should play just so you're familiar with it on the survival side of things (without complaining it's tedious). Everything on the basic level is what makes Minecraft fun. The whole mining, farming, and surviving. It's however "too blocky" for my taste when you want to add in appliances and character customizations. I'm having my itches to play Minecraft again, but this time on the Nintendo Switch. It seems my desire to shelf Minecraft is struggling, even though I know Mojang to be sloppy developers not really caring what the community thinks.

What Minecraft lacks is Rising World's greatness.

Basically.......Food, water, surviving, posters, building, planks, crafting stations, interactive crafting station, and such surpasses Minecraft. Even how the underwater portions has some form of sea life, as with ruins in the water. How you can cook your food, how you craft, harvest food, and such. (and anything I mentioned above. There's just way too much).

If we can gain those bandits, raiders, and pirates then we'll surely be in an awesome place with Rising World. What Rising World needs though is actual books that obeys the rules of bookshelving, boats, submarines, scuba gear, trains, horses, and such. Some of those are actually coming, while others are more on the fence as we wait. We even need the rivers, swamps, jungles, more desert, and such to be added into the game.

One of my favorite things about this game is ease of construction. I've had several customers ask me "you built all of that since I've been here?" In addition, the game's given me new avenues of conversation. When I first bought this game, I was horrible at construction; all of my houses ended up looking like bland barracks. So, I went to a variety of Pinterest, diy, and Better Homes websites to look at pictures and floor plans. All I really wanted to do was get better at the game, but I unintentionally became at least moderately knowledgeable about different architecture styles. Granted, it's not a big deal, but it's given me better common grounds for light conversation and friendly banter. Most of my other interests....are highly specialized. In other words, while most of my friends aren't interested in gemology, aviation, metallurgy, and MMA, almost all of them have backburner plans about how they'd like to remodel their house or mental blueprints of their future dream home. Plus, my wife and I have great fun driving around trying to identify different architecture styles.

So, in other words, most of my games haven't had any effect on my real-life experiences, but this one has and still does. Not only is that the aspect that I love the most about this game, it's also what I'm highly appreciative of; it's opened up a whole new world for me.
