Vortac: Enjoying your casually recorded videos after finding Rising World through Blockscape when trying to find an open-world that would allow 'followers' in them. Loving the builds and all that on your end, and with Weems. Hopefully you can keep it up for a long while longer heh.
Eagerly awaiting your next one to see what this delayed food update shall contain in detail 
Thought I'd try making a thread to compile a list of new items and features that may or may not find themselves into the game. Read into this very loosely as they may simply be of interest that may need mods to add them in, or time not permitting. Expect errors and corrections from Red. I'm only compiling stuff that I have 'researched' and semi-obnoxiously questioned Red over, both directly and indirectly. Some were simply jokes. 
- Planned Features: https://www.rising-world.net/en/page/more/features.html
- Thread Wiki: New Player Reference - Commands and Basics - Updated Jan 18
- Part 2: "On The List"
---------
(Note: I'm only posting what was hinted, teased, and sourced by Red through our and other conversations. Don't expect them 100% as there may also be errors on my part.)
=======
Alright, I shall come back to this thread occasionally once I gain wind of new features and such. I'll edit new ones while removing old ones.
I'm sure there will be some basic block for building that you can colour however you want. Like painting.
Oh so you haven't played RW yet? And you're a guy? haha, fooled me!
We shall see about the RW world generation. As of now, who knows?
From what I'm seeing it appears that you can paint them. Wondering if it'll keep its simplicity in variety or if we'll have to fetch every little ingredient to do that though.
Not yet, but I'm wanting to. I'm wanting to mess with it but I don't hit the minimum requirements with XP & 2 gigs of ram. I'd love to so I can also experiment a tad bit. I also tend to do as much research about a game as possible while trying to take into account people's experiences. It helps when you're trying to help Youtubers who are also trying to set up a shop by pressing "G" to place onto shelves but can't place onto shelves. The thrill of the game now is teching up so that's where most of my 'stress' and attention shall go heh.
Ya, guess I'll have to allow myself to be patient in how the world shall appear in the future while wishing for Fox pets & modded humanoid partners 
Not just "important" ghosts. All ghosts. So they really have the feeling of being people from the village who died before.
Alright, noted then. I dont' know anymore. So little information to now work with that I'll just follow your lead in thoughts :P. I'm curious about the food update that I'm wanting to see some info about it, even on Vortac's videos. Him even being spooked by the ghosts we're talking about would be comical of them even keeping their earthly appearances. Implied ties to villages, as you said.
Red has stated that he plans to add a musket and an old pistol. Along with bows and crossbows...
I'm curious if there'll be variety in crossbows and such. Different bows & arrows done for cosmetic nature. If for blocks be interesting to have fancy designs and such. From Native American, European variants, to African, Russian, Asian, and all that. Would be interesting seeing fur-covered ones, decorational, and such. Maybe that's now asking too much. Only saying that because it's fun with the variety we're now seeing to also try mounting it up on the wall in some form of pride
I haven't been able to do such really in real life so I'd love to be a bit proud of such in game.
No. Please, I dislike this idea. Let player's create their own community's. It was a bad idea in Minecraft and it is an even worse one here, no offense but no thanks!
If it's done the Mojang way then of course it's going to be shit. If it's done the Millienaire mod way it'll be more worthwhile. I do understand your fear though. We'll obviously create ours while stumbling across other random ones. Let's just hope the trios don't pull a Mojang while asking for templates, designs, and maybe even designs and such. People could do the structures, they could do the AI.
----------
Would be an interesting feature. The ghost this is something I'd love to see from the graveyards and dead corpses at night. The 'important' ones obtaining their earthly appearances eh? Be interesting. Friendlies stalk their bodies, graveyard wanders outwards, and hostiles spawn off in the forest or just out of your view inward towards you. No random shadow-spawning MC style crap. Hmm.....I'd accept the body-stalking bit. (Again. this all can be 'over-ridden' by the devs) as I'm just letting loose thoughts.Treating AI Villagers as 'pets' is something I'm seeking hoping I can mod in my OCs. If that's not going to be in then at the very least allow item trading through tasks. You give them their resources requested while you get something you're interested in for what they asked you to get. That's the least i'm going to expect from the villages. If it wants to go "Millionaire" then I guess I'll expect more when game is completed.
Interesting. Ya, whatever way it adds it I'll be after the white blocks for my buildings. Red and white blocks for that Canadian touch, maybe Japanese if you count the flag, figure designs, and similar. But ya, I'll be trying to rebuild what I lost on Minecraft while trying to hunt them down in Rising World. I'll obviously building new things in new styles for this said game with how it does things.
That whole globe thing was a thought about how people might want their maps. I'm going to throw a loose guess here so I'll assume that all biomes should be there but it should take about 5 hours to reach each edge. North, south, East, and west. North Pole loops up north and south loops down below. I haven't been to hell as I can't run it with my XP Machine (*gets his gun ready for anybody telling him to upgrade, stating the retardly obvious recommendation*) so I saw it in Vortac's videos. I saw it it in his and Weemcast's videos while relaying information to him. I'm hoping I'm giving Vortac proper information because this game looks; I don't want to be the obnoxious fool :P. The oceans would do well as trade routes and as a 'simple fix' to things.
Alright, guess I guess in the right ball park. I now want to see what the actual length is because a week would be fitting. Alright, then let's have a scale set in the options for random and specific days. Would be more handy on multi-servers where the server just runs on its own time when idling and etc.
Now curious what those sub-biomes shall look like. Should be interesting seeing all those changes in variety as you move around. Having them organized like Earth would also be interesting, somewhat with how Minecraft tried to do things. Appealing. Someone even mentioned to round the world, though not sure how one would do that. Maybe cheat with bodies of oceans that you'd spend 1 hour crossing as to hide the sea-bed below for lines. For one, you'd have endless, for another you'd have a rounded world (possibly modded) with hell being the center of it all.
Those would be very long trips. It would take ages to build railways, maybe not so much in RW terms. You could build roads, supply lines, and all that just to get from Point A -> B -> C and back. It'd be somewhat like Euro Truck SImulator 2 + Railway Sim. If appealing enough I could see people jumping on as 'truck drivers' and 'train pilots' to haul renewable goods around. That's what I did in Minecraft, and that's what may be expanded on here. The most appealling part of this game being the whole "Click&drag thing simplifying the builds a hell of a lot.
Ya, I'd agree that trees materials, ores, and such would be the same in the basics. For fun though, there should be variety in gems and such that you can only get in certain spots. I'm however curious about marble, and all that. All those variety in blocks would have you flying all over the map trying to acquire enough to build with. Imagine all the expansions, travels, and such.
Someone mentioned that the season should last for quite a while. How about something that lasts you a week in game time? An actual week? This would go quicker on SMP with 168 hours needing to be spent in SP, normally flowing untouched in SMP of RW. I'm looking forward to how it's done.
So what you are saying is. Have Realistic Creatures on the surface and unrealistic ones in Hell and in Dungeons?
Roughly put, yes.
Not sure what the devs are thinking, but that would seem to be the 'best' way to do it. Have overworld spawning be similar to how those Phantoms are spawned in Dragons Dogma in dense forest and ghosts in graveyard type thing, but able to freely wander around to suit their desire and needs until dawn arrives. No monster should spawn in the shadows of a home, cave, or the like unless absolutely necessary. It can do whatever it wants in hell in my preference, but the devs can easily over-ride that easily. My 2 cents though XD.
---(Edit: Ya, I have to agree with ZaCormyr below. Options were limiting and with what he said before. Still wanted to say the above.)---
I voted for the second - "monsters everywhere" - because I'm thinking more on the Minecraft + Dragon's Dogma line of thinking. Maybe not exactly everywhere, just in a way that makes them realistically plausible. If there was a shadow they wouldn't really pop out from there, only in places somewhat away from the player. Real creatures should roam around everywhere, day and night. Monsters should be able to pop up (naturally) from their given surroundings during the night, but not from any random shadow. We won't have zombies or mutants so that's a breath of fresh air.
Dragon's Dogma had night creatures done interestingly, though stupidly kept them in predictable places. Phantoms would roam dense forests, ghosts for graveyards (idea from this forum), and anything else that I can't think of being in their other areas. They shouldn't pop out from the shadow, or darkness, like mobs in Minecraft do. I wonder if it sounds contradictory because certain conditions have to be met from what I'm suggesting because that doesn't really give them many places to spawn, which also might be what some people are seeking.
I'll still love to see the natural animal predators roaming about. I'd also love to see monsters 'everywhere' in that they come out of random, yet semi-specific places. Some even to their biome.
(editing out retarded typos.)
I didn't know you could add polls so I inserted one now. There, you don't have to say anything. Just vote if you feel 'safer' doing so, but I'd love to hear your opinion now. I'll lurk along with you folks now that I don't have to chime in obnoxiously. Hope you can chime in every now and again through posting.
I agree that they should be fed every now and again, just on the basics while eventually given purpose that you speak of. On the same page
[*Still wishing for fox and Arctic Fox to be tamable, even if obvious by now.]
Too soon...............And welcome. Hoping the trio devs and us, as the community, help shape Rising World into a game that we actually desire
Minecraft's updates were actually updating it for the better, just that everything after 1.8 (second time around) killed any fun it had left. Everything Minecraft added from the beginning till now is worthwhile. What it didn't add or fix speaks volumes as to why I'm wanting to jump ship. Boats purposely being left untouched, paintings not being made custom paintings (like in this game), while also making Minecraft Realms overly basic in nature. You can't upload what others would consider a standard map of 2-5 gigs. You have to magically keep it under 500-800 mb, or 1 Gig. Anything else is just "too big" with the limit being too small. As nice as it is up to 1.8, the mods is where the fun is at on the Feed The Beast side of things. Vanilla is still awesome, the mods are also just as awesome. My praises still going to Minecraft because it was actually worthwhile, fun, entertaining, and had loads of fun memories in it.
We simply 'grew out' of Minecraft that we're now seeing more details here. I'd say review Rising World in about 1-2 years, or so.
(I caught the game as it was switching from late alpha into beta then into the full release. I built up insane things and went almost all out on it. 1.8 (2nd) killed it through chunk loading errors, switching to Microsoft, and, and leaving things that should be fix (boats) untouched.)
Interesting ideas. Making me sit back here wondering what would be plausible and what would be neat while trying to imagine where the line is drawn from the developer side.
Basically put:
- Alpine, Arctic, Coastal Rainforest, Desert, Jungle, Prairies, Savanah, Swamp, Temperate Forest, Tropical, Tundra (cold), Wetlands
That's a nice number of them right there. I'd love to build in both the tropical and arctic places. We missing anything? With how fruits and veggies should be biome-locked so that it would force people to venture outwards and how it'll encourage people to use trains and such to transport them around. Seeing people become hermits in Minecraft irritated me so much that I want to see how it encourages people in this game. I love the selection suggestions for each biome. Something to make note of now are ghosts along with flying birds and other flying creatures.
I would love it if there were two ghost types to add in, one normal type for warmer places and more spooky types in cooler arctic places. I wouldn't mind if we even had "yuki-onna" (snow lady) added, but that might be too freaky and more for mods. Would have to be quite rare (full moon) type deal if we did add one. A yeti wouldn't be bad though. Not sure about undead pirates....That's close to zombies, and we all voiced out opinions in how we don't want those.....Tropical hostiles should be something along the lines of......Good question.
Ya, I don't know. I"m stumped. I guess I have to wait for the trio devs to tease and taunt while giving out hints and surprises. My only wish is that I can tame either a fox or an arctic fox
(Companions I want shall be left for modding so I'll now go silent about that.)
-------------
Edit: I guess for both snow & tropical they should add snow and sand crawlers - http://imgur.com/a/veFjC - I was just linked this so that may suit the game more. How to defeat them? Smash them up or dry them out in the sun.
I'm so glad you're around because that's so much better than what I was thinking last night. Villages with natural graveyards would be the more natural way of doing that. Villagers taking and burying dead bodies during the day while at night ghosts would pop up while creating fog. That would really freak me and others out actually. Imagine someone getting all creative by placing gravestones hidden in a custom school building of any nationality (for this one, Japanese) to recreate the "test of courage" seen and done in anime. Not sure if they actually do it, just that people could also take advantage of it for creative adventure maps heh.
Your idea of them dispersing at dawn would be interesting. Same with when villagers die they would risk spawning ghosts at night. Them wondering outwards to then puff away during daybreak would be an interesting sight to see. I wonder if it's possible to give them a percentage of aggression so they would attack you at random.
Now going to check out your biome suggestions.
Zombie dogs as another mob's pet. I can see that. If they're in the hell world then I'll rarely go there. I'll stick top-side until I can get a group going to get whatever is valuable down there. I'm not going there unless I can get a nice reward from it.
Heyo! And thanks for the welcome. Always nice seeing what other people are pondering. And no worries, I'm not making sense either at times which you can see with the # times of edits under my postings heh.
Ya, I'd leave all the moderating to server side because if you try moderating it yourself you'll only be stepping on feet while doing harm to yourself and the game. Granted, there should be times where the trio should step in to hammer down any overly corrupted servers. I wouldn't want to see nanny-state type enforcement being added which would simply turn Rising World into Minecraft's tamer side then into PS Home of sterilization. I'm getting irritated by seeing Canada trying to ban outdoor ice rinks, sliding down hills, and general snow activity fun. Basically what I said in my previous post. It makes just as much sense as making then pixelating porn, or sun-glaring every violent scenes in movies because parents can't raise their kids properly. It gets nasty.
I guess I should just wait and see what they have planned. Being able to stream videos from Youtube should at the very least be allowed. I seen it in Second Life with me at least wanting to share it with others when not wanting to spam through Skype or something. Having a big theater only linking to Youtube, computer wise.
Last night I spotted Red mentioning that we would have to tech up from cave-man type technology to the modern-tech stuff. We would have to 'invent' tools by creating them then jumping onto the next. The way he worded it, the way it was implied, and the way it seems to be going is the way of "Feed The Beast" way of things by going up in tiers. You need specific items to tech your way up to the next. If you played Civilization or "Rise of Nations" then this would be easier to imagine, minus the whole researching button, unless that's also in.
I actually love that idea because it makes sense with the variety of items and how you have to earn and work for them. If you had to have a library to research things then I wouldn't mind it either. I'd accept progressing from one age to the next through items, the FTB style of things. With that in mind, I'm now expecting overly primitive vehicles, trains, and boats leading into gradually higher tier vehicles being unlocked. I'm now expecting horse-trains, steam trains, steam cars, iron-clad boats, and the like. If not in vanilla, then in modding when it comes to everything other than trains. If that's so, I'd happily build a railway network relying on steam trains to chug supplies from one zone to the next while using wood, coal, and water to keep things going.
If we get trains then I'd also expect cargo carts to be added to ship around liquids and solid material around.
I'm also loving the idea that to encourage interaction with NPCs and players that certain veggies and fruits should be grown in specific biomes to further encourage expanding out, building networks, and having to carry them from place to place. Not sure if this was their goal, but this would encourage that. Would see less personal farms and more colonization and supply routes. If you're going to have a big world you might as well branch out.
That be quite interesting to have horses pull Wagonways around. I wonder how you would attach it to a horse and vice-versa? Ride the horse up to the Wagonway then press some interaction button when looking behind you? The horse then adopts the pathfinding of the tracks and carries on, eh? I guess it could make sense at first or as a whole to connect when pressing either "E" or "F" to connect. To use the Wagonway's pathfinding you would sit on the wagon itself. To use the horse's, sit on the horse. Interesting.
And ya, I would expect gradual soft turns for both roads and tracks as with rough and sudden ones. Maybe even roadway cross-overs as decoration for land vehicles. Would be interesting. Staring at people's carefully built designs, it's so awesome
I had to delete a big chunk out of my text so I wouldn't scare anybody so I'll say it in this posting to post as briefly a I can, also in reply to Geneo.
1) Feeding: Don't have to feed pets, but would be neat to do so through mods when you have over-stock food to go through. Only appropriate foods for each. I'd happily feed any pets or followers befriended because I'm now used to that.
2) Pet Variety: Pet Bears, Foxes, horses, canines, felines, and bird-types only. Anything else would be silly, as Geneo mentioned. Again, this looks most likely possibly in mods as it wasn't originally planned. There should be limits, just not so much when bears and foxes have and are known to be pets. Same with pigs. If it's been done in real life then should do so in RW, but expected as a mod. I can imagine a pet bear now thanks to Red Alert 3 or so with Soviet Russia and bears.
3) SMP Only: I get your point that you should go online for company, even then people still separate themselves that it goes back to being SP. Don't forget about single-player as if it suddenly magically doesn't exist. There are people who want to play purely SP (Not saying myself) that may be interested in taming or befriending for various assets, or to just keep company. Can't just magically or biasly forget about them. Maybe the environment still is eerie for them to play alone, or maybe they want to make use of a certain creature or entity that they have to friendly interact with them. For me, I'd love something in SP so I wouldn't get spooked by the silent atmosphere, especially when mining. Also #4 as reason.
4) 'Familiar/Servant/AI Partner: I'm only wild about this one a hell of a lot because you have this VAST environment to let loose both yourself and a chance for mine and other people's "Original characters" from their own world into this one. To me, this is just a wasted opportunity NOT to do something like this. I'm however going to wait for modding to add this because it looks grim adding AI companion anything into this game officially. The only place you can do so right now are in RPGs and some RTSs with limits and restrictions, even +18 anime porn games made by a company named "Illusion". Instead of being capped off, or forced into +18 stuff I'd love to see 'OCs' roaming around, even if it's only in appearance using the most retarded AI path-finding ever. Minecraft and Mount & Blade: Warband are my current best bets but I hate blockiness, and two....To mod in companions to M&B is like trying to scale Mount Everest right now without being prepared.
Again, I only expect #4 at least to linger around and be there in presence; At best be able to fend for itself, do loose basic tasks, and to have player's level of customization. Maybe even patrols or path findings as extra. Again, in a mod and not to expect too much. I at the very least also expect them to be customizable, even having mod-packs through accessories and wears equiping the same as players. Once dead, they stay dead....
---------------
Sorry, not into "pets". I figure I'll have my hands full just feeding myself without worrying about feeding a pet too. A pet can't follow you around everywhere, like when you're flying. Also the problem would be people would want to turn not just a dog, but any animal into a "pet". I can't imagine a pet bear or cow. Having a 'pet' would be 'cute' for a few minutes, but after the novelty wore off, just a PITA.
Having an "AI partner" or "servant" (ok, a "slave") isn't something I'm wild about either. If you want a 'partner', that's what multiplayer is for. There would have to be a lot of programming involved (or many menu selections) just to add a 'servant'. Where do you get another one if it gets killed? How are you going to 'protect' him? Besides, what they'd be doing is your job. I know people think it would be cool to sit in your rocking chair on the porch while your "servant" does all that grunt work for you, like mining, farming, etc...... but then why are you playing at all? Are you afraid little pixel-person-you will get a blister?
That's one vote! Thanks for 'voting'! Others, don't be shy!
(Bolded for skimmers.)
Your call and it's been respected and noted. Ya, I also made note of that above. People aren't fond of feeding so I can see if you don't want one in game. Following is a pain so I'd assume someone would mod some basic restrictions, especially with what happened in Minecraft. If they can at the very least follow by keeping chunks active, Skyrim style, then that solve some of the issues. I can imagine a pet bear and pig, just not a cow. I myself want a fox with them actually being known as pets. Need to be a bit open minded on this one.
Again, respected and noted. Not for everybody so they won't have to touch it if they don't want it. That's true, but even on SMP there's this 'eerie' silent presence that requires digital companions to keep one company. There are those that still prefer to be separated, even on SMP, that needing a 'servant' or 'pet' shall keep them company. Can't firmly dismiss it. And I'm aware there'll be lots of programming. I'd expect it to be tons, though rewards should balance it off in the end. Just tame and befriend another, unless you modded in a very special 'entity' to befriend. Just let it die and go for another. Protect? Keep in house like a maid or butler. if it follows, you simply fight it off until it gains combat strength of some sort.
And yes, I'm aware that what they're doing is your job. They should at the very least be allowed to do the basics of your tasks at hand. Wouldn't hurt. You'll still be doing the brunt of the work, no matter how you look at it. Restrictions needs to be made, and it's not always fun and games, even when you do have them. You still do the main stuff even with "Turtles" from Minecraft. You're still babysitting, doing the details, and all the fine touches. People shouldn't expect treating them like black slaves or Chinese slaves.
TL;DR: Just wanting to take advantage of the vast scenery by wanting to add in my own "OCs", for people's Anime & western gaming mods, along with people who might want simple pets. It's also to push any silent 'eerie atmosphere' to the side, both in SP & SMP.
Seeing people's images of roads and such, even with planned vehicles and trains, has me daydreaming a lot again. Trying to imagine what could be both done and what the trio-devs are imagining has me being highly curious and imaginative. What I'm seeing is gloriously awesome with the possibilities that it even dwarfes everything Minecraft has and the things I accomplished in Minecraft.
Quote(From feature page: https://www.rising-world.net/en/page/more/features.html : it will allow you to lay over-ground tracks for trains.
Look at these images
1) Roadway - http://steamcommunity.com/shar…filedetails/?id=386870127
2) Roadway Close-up http://steamcommunity.com/shar…filedetails/?id=386870105
3) Tramway - http://steamcommunity.com/shar…filedetails/?id=386691491 (imagine if this one functioned)
4) Village street - http://steamcommunity.com/shar…filedetails/?id=385722143
5) Village Street #2 - http://steamcommunity.com/shar…filedetails/?id=385655859
What I'm seeing already is leaps-and-bounds over what I'm used to. Imagining pre-made cars going around on roads like in #1, 2, 4, and 5 would be an interesting sight to see. Seeing people zip between villages and settlements while possibly even carrying items and blocks inbetween. If there's trucks, then see cargo on the back of the truck. That be interesting. With the mention of boats, trains, and even submarines (not 100% confirmed on subs, yet on list) that traveling on an endless map would be quite fun. As long as the map itself doesn't reset, corrupt, gets heavily griefed and such, transportation shall be awesome.
I myself am looking forward to when steam trains pulling cargo cars proudly across the map are updated and built onto the map. Steam trains being the funnest to use, most character, and the one people most notice. If snow is added to accumulate then just imagine trains being able to clear the tracks with their "cow-pusher". Maybe trains shall be more primitive? More advanced? Either way, I'm looking forward to when trains are added a year or two down the line, or maybe even further down the line.
(Edit: After seeing this posting - http://steamcommunity.com/app/…ons/0/606068060819093419/ - I'm now going to say diesel trains and Bullet Trains are going to be a thing to tech-up to. Teching up from hand-cranked trains to steam to diesel and bullet trains would be interesting. I'd stay to steam because they're classy. Bullet Trains? If I'm given them I'll use them for quicker travels.)
I'm so glad roads are easier to build in this game with drag and drop stuff. It's something that was most needed in Minecraft with it simplifying things greatly. Looking at image 1-2 just makes my thoughts go wild. I'm really curious what others would do with cars, trains, minecarts, boats, and submarines
1) Your call. I'd suggest Steam only or simplicity while F12ing and all that.
2) There has been mention that you can toggle them off multiple times that I can say this with certainty that you can play in "peaceful" mode. You can chose to play with monsters or just with the 'farm animals'.
3) Maybe when the player customization is added?
I'm still waiting for the survival aspect to be fully inserted. Waiting on food, health bars, and hostile monsters before grabbing it. And a computer that can actually run it.....
