A small new update is available now!

  • Steam/Linux crashes about 10/11% when loading new maps

    Please shutdown all background programs when running the game.
    You could also try to manually assign memory to the game, I remember there was another case in the past with 32 bit Linux causing problems with default memory configuration (it was a little bit different though, the game was unable to start at all). Please rightclick on Rising World in Steam -> Properties -> Set launch options and try one of the following:
    +memory 768 768
    +memory 768 512
    +memory 1024 768
    +memory 1024 512
    +memory 512 512

  • Charaktere zum Leben erwecken

    Also die Möglichkeit, das Aussehen seiner Spielfigur zu verändern (Haarschnitt etc.) sowie sich individuell zu kleiden ist in Arbeit ;) Im gleichen Zuge kommt übrigens zusätzlich auch ein weiblicher Charakter ins Spiel.
    Aber dazu mehr in Kürze.


    Ein Skillsystem ist ebenfalls geplant, leider ist in der Hinsicht noch nichts geschehen bisher, kann also auch keine konkreten Aussagen darüber treffen :/


    Zum Thema "Gebiete erobern" oder "töte so viele Monster wie möglich", das klingt ja ein wenig nach Quests. Das ist grundsätzlich auf jeden Fall für den Adventure Mode geplant (mit der Möglichkeit, eigene Quests im Creative Mode zu erstellen), mal sehen ob es sowas optional auch für den Survival Mode geben wird (das ist zumindestens nicht ganz unwahrscheinlich). Aber leider liegt auch das erstmal noch in etwas fernerer Zukunft...

  • Supported Video cards

    Be careful about Intel HD graphics cards, even the HD 4000 does not work when very old drivers are installed.


    We tested the game with:
    Nvidia Geforce GT 120
    Nvidia Geforce GTS 250
    Nvidia Geforce GTX 470
    Nvidia Geforce GTX 560
    Nvidia Geforce GTX 580
    Nvidia Geforce GTX 675MX
    Amd Radeon 5700 Series
    Amd Radeon 6700 Series
    Amd Radeon 7700 Series


    Most problems occur with low budget cards: Especially Intel has bad OpenGL support when it comes to those cards (in other words: the drivers have bugs concerning OpenGL, preventing the game from running correctly). The situation is getting more complicated when you have a laptop, in several cases you have to use custom drivers offered by the laptop manufacturer. Unfortunately they don't always keep their drivers up to date, so it's possible that the graphics card vendor (e.g. Intel) has already fixed the drivers, but the laptop manufacturer still only offers the faulty driver version.
    So also be careful about this list! When only a faulty driver is available for your card, you will still run into trouble.
    Least problems occur with Nvidia cards btw, they have the best OpenGL support so far (in terms of driver issues).

  • next update

    Yeah last weeks of march kept us ultra busy concerning smaller things and bugfixes, as well as some stuff in this needless "reallife", that's why this update takes so long ^^ We also spent a lot of time for preparing some bigger stuff (it won't be in the next update, and it will still take a long time, but you will definitely like it once it's ready).
    Sorry for the lack of information, afaik there was really no english information in this board (but it has been mentioned in the Steam forum at least).
    Believe me, it was really just an exception, especially since it's not going to be a very big update though (and 4 weeks are too long for small updates) ;)

  • Hell Suggestion

    Hehe, well done, nice drawing! :thumbup: Unfortunately our zombie dog is going to look slightly different :( But we keep this suggestion in mind, eventually it may be another variation in the future^^

  • Typo - Shelves

    Hmm I guess that's a typical case of an english word with several meanings ^^ Wikipedia tells me that lavatory may refer to a toilet as well as to "A washbasin for handwashing, a kind of sink". But if "washbasin" is more common, we will change it of course, especially to avoid incidents as shown on your picture :D

  • Was ist ein JIW?

    Um das Rätsel zu lüften, JIW besteht aus Java sowie den Anfangsbuchstaben des Nachnamens von mir und @KingGenius ;) Also wirklich nichts spektakuläres.
    Was mich stattdessen schockiert: Der Name 'Meltron' ist random? =O

  • Was ist ein JIW?

    Naja was heißt nicht festgelegt. Es geht effektiv nur um die Buchstaben, wie du sie aussprichst, ist dir überlassen ;) Ich selber sage immer "Jot-I-We Games", wenn du "Tschej-Ei-DoubleU" besser findest, kannst du das das auch natürlich sagen (eine englischsprachige Person wird Variante 1 wohl eh eher weniger sagen) :)

  • Typo - Shelves

    True, "improved shelf" makes no sense :D It's odd that the description on the other hand was correctly using "improvised shelf" though. Thanks for letting us know, will be fixed in the next version ;)

  • Stack number

    It was our intention to limit the stacksize for some items, especially when it comes to food or tools. If you're able to stack food (especially meat, which restores a lot of hunger and health) up to 64, you could carry enough food for lifetime when going out to explore the world ^^
    Usually we would also limit the stacksize for blocks and resources, but that would - on the other hand - make building too complicated in our opinion (especially since you need a lot of blocks to build something).

  • Was ist ein JIW?

    Hehe, die Aussprache ist eigentlich dir überlassen, JIW (also deutsch ausgesprochen, jeder Buchstabe einzeln) ist das naheliegendste, wobei englischsprachige Personen es sicherlich englisch aussprechen ;)
