Where is the update?

We needed this posting, and I'm glad it was posted.

And while working on the animations, we also had to prepare some things for future updates (e.g. mounts, boats, trains), so these things may be available sooner than expected.

This is the most important part of the posting (to me) that it'll make us all happy transportation wise heh. Horses, camels, and donkeys are set to arrive soon now that we'll have a nie way to travel. Shweet!

Boats is something that's been re-hyped up on my server that Daboiye has been making a boat house while admiring the beauty of the lake generation, something that needs to be copied over into ocean generation. It'll be something both Zork & Harv should build for Daboiye's sake to have fun boating around with heh. With boats, and the new tools, I'll even consider making a canal heading towards my dungeon town (Kelna)area. Curious how boats shall play out, and etc.

The thought of having trains is a big one also that I can't wait to set up a main travel line around the built up areas. Use up all the iron, and maybe other things PLease let trains be built outside of the crafting bench for higher immersion & value.

I also am curious if we can have a mini Halloween update, even if it's just clothing. That be sweet.

been waiting with patience well at least october is busy month

Thanks for the news This update will be a big step in the game's evolution I think. So we can wait !

I hope the update will be avaiable in 1-2 weeks

I'm ready to come back to RW, its been too long

I personaly can play this game without the UPDATE !! Yes it would be nice to have the xtra features that the Coming update will bring, but in all honnesty it dosent hinder my game play at all. Id like to see 3/4 of you make a game like this and maintain all the problems it may entail with PEEPS crying out for the update.. Just enjoy the game wich we purchased and im sure the update will be upon us b4 we know it.......:)

Thanks for the update. I have other things to pass the time so I will survive (only to die later in Rising World).

finally surviving!!!

Looking forward to the update Red, and as far as time is concerned take what you need, some of us understand the difficulties that go with creating, modeling, and programming games, and the like and want you to know we appreciate all your hard work.

Hey Red.

I'm patient, I'm optimistic, I believe in you and your team, aaaaaaand I'm not going anywhere unless your hired goons grab me and drag me away, kicking and screaming.

That said, I'm not saying "take all the time in the world." If I have to crack a whip, I will. Heheh Thank you for the update.

How soon uptade ?

I think it will be in the new year

I dunno. If his ETA at the time was September, and we were close to it, then it means things were relatively nearly done. Of course, when programming complex things like this, delays just happen. Things pop up and that leads to other things. And it takes up to a week to get a response from the freelancer side. And not only that, but I seem to remember Red51 saying that a lot of code had to be re-written. This might seem to many as "but it's just editing code that's already there. That must be super easy!" But no. In my experience, re-writing code that was already there can be *worse* than writing it from scratch. Code is a funny thing. It's written to work as it is, and of course you want to edit as little as possible because if not, then a lot of your work goes to waste. But in the end, if you change one thing, you don't just do that. That one thing affects a million more things and you have to chase the effects down. If you're a writer, then you might understand it in terms of a story. Change an early event and you'll practically write a new story by the time you're done adjusting everything to that one event. Programming is the same way.

That said, if things were nearly done, then there's only so many things that can then go wrong. I'd expect up to maybe a month of delay? Yeah, I guess it's possible that every thing that can possibly go wrong will do so and then we'll get the update early next year. But, come, now. The chances of that actually happening aren't really that high. I'd say we're most likely to see it this month, rather than later.

And man. Red51 keeps stressing that it's a really big update. Beta incoming?

our patience will have be rewarded soon. as red51 says: they want to made it good to make new updates faster. trains are planned but not included in the "great update" - so i understand it. im really grateful for the little information from red and the patience with us, the community and the will to stand always in contact and asking for whishes, ideas and that stuff. i hope i can handle the tension or i will explode *laugh*

i can't wait to see the railway system, i'm soo hyped.

We have this update and some more player/npc/survival updates, a cooking update, and a construction system overhaul to get through probably before we see trains but I do look forward to seeing any previews of trains that might be availabe.

If I am right i can remeber to read something about a power system... , copper already ingame... so maybe we can expect an electrical-train or as others mind: a steamengine.

Something crazy: a steam-robot that works for you

Hmm....

-------
I'm just so restless for a railway that I just want to get it built. I have so much iron I want to use on a railway system.... I'm curious, yet it's been said that trains "may" be '5 blocks wide' that it has me wondering what train sizes we're getting.

I'm having to wonder how we're going to craft trains (hopefully outside), how we're going to manufacture train tracks, if there'll be curved train tracks, tracks that adapt to their positioning (Connecting with left & ride tracks), tracks that adapt to their elevations (up and down), and etc. So many questions about trains, yet Red51 has to keep these a secret for surprise & development purposes.

Lastly, I damn well hope we're gaining electric trains (yet not expecting it at first) for when we run out of oil. We can always go back to steam trains, or rely on NPC merchants (vanilla) to import oil for us to convert into fuel. Shall be fun having electric train lines lining the map

I saw a comment of someone desiring a "non-binary" character on RW's Facebook page, something I have to facepalm over because it took 2-3 years until someone mentioned that. I was expecting it when Red51 first brought up we're getting a male-female character feature a long while back.....If anything, I do hope clothing fits on both male & female characters to cover this, yet anything else would have to be covered by mods.... There's a reason why games don't have characters using Tumblr genders, and it's because it's a struggle adding them in, unless it's modding.

I finally fiddled with lighting in the game that I'm happy that gold & copper is used, if lightly. Just wishing for more copper & gold uses. Silver needs a use that I hope we're gaining silverware.
