Display MoreThis game hasn't been updated now since June 2023. I used to love watching Radioman03 (think thats his youtube name) playing Rising world.
I used to play this game for hours as well on Java.
I understand it is difficult to basically re-make a game on Unity.
I had very high hopes this would be the game that would become number 1 and minecrap was number 2, that is what I saw.
This game doesn't have the crappy Sega Master system graphics that Minecraft has.
When I paid for this on steam a few years ago, I was thinking wow this is going to be the future.
But Now it seems if someone does not put at least 5 million pounds or dollars (euros suck) into Rising word, it is just gonna be an updated twice maybe 3 times per year game.
And we will all have to pee our knickers because "Hey we put Dolphins in the water now" "Hey you have Banana trees now"
Am I wrong to think the Devs have turned into Vanilla Ice, rather than Eminem or 2pac?
the main question i would ask here is... what does it concern you if the game is successful or not? your game experience is not really touched by that.
i think you might be right though. the peak of the survival-building-wave is long over. minecraft has established as a synonym for this type of game, for good or bad. but that doesn´t mean rw can´t be successful.
it defines the genre anew in a way no other mc-clone could do it until now. and the unity-version is topping that even. i can see the point where the game is feature complete and red will get a million-eur-offer to sell it.
what the game is really missing is not faster development. 3-4 updates per year is more than other games with much bigger budget get. it is missing attention, marketing and regular communication.
there is 0 budget and nearly 0 time for promotion. along with the fact that the currently still official java is not really up to date anymore and the unity isn´t as far as it was planned to be that is what holds rw back.
i really hope red can shuffle free some time after the unity is the offical one to go for promotion. own videos, merchandise products, soundtrack for additional turnover, maybe some ads, talk to some gaming websites to bring an article about rising world, etc. it would boost the sales like nothing else.
