A new update (0.9.3) is available now!

  • Flowing water, Decor items, Steel sledgehammer, re-sizable blocks, higher stack numbers, more color/material choices and cooking timer.

    Quote from WenWinchester

    They manage it just fine on Minecraft.

    Well, you basically answered your own question & suggestion with "Dubbing Rising World for grownups". Red51 is trying to aim for realism that he's trying his best to make Rising World a survival based game as much as a building type game. The stacks of food being so low is because of "survival" & "realism" that he also wants to add food spoilage, preserving food, and all those nitty gritty survival oriented stuff, something you could also bypass by letting someone else cook or use a plugin to get around.


    Sure, Minecraft has 16, 32, & 64 stacks, yet that's Minecraft. Minecraft is a whole different beast now, even if there are similarities between the two. Apples and oranges; they're both round, you can get juice out of them, yet one is an apple, the other is a citrus. :D


    ---------


    Onto the list:


    1) I agree we need rivers, yet that's something Red51 wants to tackle all at once with mention of a tropical biome having been worked on with coffee (source is on steam forums)


    2) I've been asking for books as well with FUNCTIONING bookshelves, something Minecraft failed on. You can't store books in bookshelving that we should be able to do so in this game. Books should also have that poster functionality with blueprints to be able to be shared between worlds.


    3) Cooking update later on, but +1


    7) Look up... It's for "survival" & "realism", yet Red51 is still trying to tackle this properly for proper survival gameplay. He needs future updates to fine tune this properly.

  • ArcticuKitsu's Wishlist/Suggestion

    Looking back at my suggestions & requests I'm aware I've requested many "odd" things, yet do keep in mind I'm also thinking modding side of Rising World and modding support, not just vanilla.

    - Moose Riding (Revisited):


    With the whole hype for Mounts I'm 60% curious if we'll even be able to tame Moose, yet not really expecting it. I don't want my expectation bubble to be popped so it's more of "Please, do surprise me" type of request. It actually is possible to realistically tame Moose, yet for how temperamental Moose are people tend to shy away from that whole side of things that even the Swedish military couldn't tame them. They're too smart while understandably afraid of gunfire that they just want no part of "death". I was also challenged to show an actual real world example, and I'm certain I managed to find a few to show that it genuinely is possible to tame Moose on paper, yet it's something that comes down to quality over quantity type things. Only certain people are gifted enough to tame Moose that horses are just easier.


    I've posted my thoughts here, yet sharing it here in slightly further detailing:
    https://steamcommunity.com/app…ns/0/1694920442961836806/


    Nier: Automata Moose Riding (Easteregg/Side fun content):



    Rising World is a great game, yet if we can have some fun "easteregg" type features similar to riding a pig in Minecraft, or a Moose in Nier: Automata then Rising World shall be an even more fun and worthwhile game to be enjoyed. There are already a few things like that on the clothing side of the game that I'm not knocking Red51, nor Rising World, just neutrally stating things. It's all about enjoying things big and small, regardless of "reality" & "realism". Also, it's a d*** move to mock people for desiring something as desiring a moose in a game when it's been proven in reality to be possible, yet not practical in quantity. If you can't have fun in a game then it's not a game worth playing, yet this isn't aimed at Red51 but the people attempting to troll others for having fun.


    You can ride a saddled pig in Minecraft while using a fishing rod with a carrot on it that it adds amusement to the whole thing. Then you have Nier: Automata (Video above) where you have to bait a Moose to then surprise ride it around with you having full control over that moose. The thing is that there's still some small challenge to it, yet it's done in a fun way.

    - Can't tell if real or fake, yet it's possible to tame/mount Moose:

    - More "general" information that it's Difficult, yet possible:
    https://www.quora.com/Is-it-possible-to-ride-a-moose


    I'm not really pushing for the idea as much as it appears, yet if it considered then it would be fun to ride a moose on the level of Minecraft's pig + Nier: Automata's where you have to work a slightly bit harder to tame & mount them over horses and such that it would really be worth the effort. Because Rising World is a game, a serious one at that you should have a mixed serious, yet comical fun to things that maybe you should sneak up on a moose in its blindspot to be able to tame it, or find a young calf to tame. Something slightly harder than horses and such.

  • VR (Virtual Reality)

    To those that are able to play in VR should also have fun with 'Beat Saber' for the simple & fun side of gaming, something both people and game developers keep forgetting about. Simple gaming fun is what games were originally about that I love it that 'Beat Saber' stands out for being the funnest best game on VR for how simple, yet addicting it is. To try to compare it to Rising World elements one would desire to have fishing elements, or something to be 'casually busy' in Rising World as well to relax to have fun with. Beat Saber is a game going back to the route of "pick up and play" without a harsh learning curve.


    Beat Saber



    On a side-note I love this track because it's genuinely awesome on its own + tying it the anime world of Scathach found in 'Fate/Grand Order' mobile game.



    Simple gaming fun is what Nintendo is trying to do that people forget to take it easy, as with watching simplistic anime that they keep whining and harping for more "complex" games. You see 'Rolling Line' in the post above? That applies for "simple" gaming fun that it's easy to get into and have fun. it's highly creative that you can build a rail line to even drive on it. :D


    Beat Saber gets my stamp of approval! :thumbup:

  • Upcoming: Mounts

    Monsters shall be dungeon only; Zombie dogs in hell only. Hostile human NPCs shall be pirates, bandits, and raiders that'll keep you occupied above ground.


    Survival was said to have environmental effects + preserving food by smoking it, and such in the updates sometimes between or after the transportation updates. It's all up to Red51.

  • Upcoming: Mounts

    I was having a bad day that I'm thankful to Red51 that he posted this to indirectly cheer me up on my horrible day. I was being blamed for a lot of things that I'm genuinely happy to see & hear horses shall be a thing within the month of May, if things go right. This shall nicely encourage traveling far distances while transporting goods around the map that I'll be making use of horses with the saddle bags to carry stuff. Excellent!


    Been waiting on horses to size up my entrances for three related builds that i can now complete them to Youtube them :D

  • SQLite Busy - Unable to Save

    Quote from sharkbitefischer

    restart the server or you will risk loosing work that you have done. sometimes ore will not pick up and with my new econo the credits do not save properly and some things will be missing after a restart unless you restart your server right after the error occurs. This happens to me every now and then. it has been happening lately to my server and the only fix I have found is a restart. The DB locks up and doesn't record.

    I've restarted it a few times from when that happened that I waited for the red text to disappear before I restarted. I noticed it stopped spamming so I felt it safe to do so from where I had Joni's cousin join the server. There's 2 restarts there..... It then spammed heavily + kept trapping me & Joni's cousin in one specific junk that even Joni dug through. Maybe it's related to that one chunk?


    My server is hosted through Nitrado so maybe it has something to do with them, or similar. It was quite frequent last night........


    I now have my suspicions that it's related to that one specific chunk of road........ The one in the image.

  • SQLite Busy - Unable to Save

    Was greeting by something strange where SQLite couldn't save that it spent 2-5 minutes spewing this message out.



    With the added picture below. It seemed to have resolved itself, yet restarting the server just to be sure while also making you aware of this issue.

  • Bye`

    Quote from Hgrick

    Mate, I don't comment on here often (or, in fact, at all) but you have to realise you're being a bit ridiculous about this. It's just a server, your actions haven't lead to anyone's injury - just a few lost hours. I hate to seem insensitive but, in the grand scheme of things, it really isn't that bad. Everyone's going to have to restart sooner or later anyway as old worlds will no longer be compatible. ( And, who knows, maybe your server will be even better this time) :thumbsup:

    This. This posting was articulated nicely with what I wanted to day as well. Simple, and to the point.


    Let's just have fun with Rising World without trying to kick dirt up into the air.

  • Changelog 2018-03-22: Bows, armors, chainsaw and dummy NPCs

    Well, from what was mentioned by Red51 it'll be a fragmented update with mounts (horses, camels, & donkeys) being up next; The one we're waiting for. Next up after that would be boats with NPC Dummy additions to the side, and then possibly trains by process of elimination.


    Granted, Red51 gets the final say in this so what's coming out is subject to change by Red51's decision. I'm patiently waiting for horses that I keep daily refreshing the forum to see if they're releasing yet so I can let my players on the server loose finally without holding them back..... Maybe they're gone for good, yet time will tell. Horses though, that'll change a lot. :D


    I'm still hoarding my iron at around 2,084 pieces from what I recall counting stockpiled for trains.

  • Bye`

    Cornball, please..... Don't panic. Just work it back patiently & properly. People are also probably waiting on the next mounts update + the boats update after that. Just try and mend the situation as calmly as you can.

  • VR (Virtual Reality)

    Still getting my Rift headset troubleshooted with how stubborn it's being. I'm still furious over the software with how janky it is, yet it is what it is.....


    -------------


    I'm wanting to spotlight 'Rolling Line' for those that have a VR Headset in this community. You can play it in Desktop mode/PC Mode, but only if you hide the SteamVR panel somewhere to the side of the monitor. It's really intrusive.


    Rolling Line:



    Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/754150/Rolling_Line/


    Build your own tracks and scenery or explore a huge pre-made model railway set in New Zealand in virtual reality and on PC! Build, organize and drive trains in human scale, or explore the world on foot in miniature!


    --------------


    Rolling Line is a train-sim Toybox hybrid game for the VR where you can drive a train while building the terrain around it. You can do whatever you desire by building tracks the way you want, placing trains in the way you desire, and etc. You can drive trains, change the tracks, as well as change the train types with their carriages. It's a neat game that has standard VR controls while going into the addictive side of detailing. The train feels weighted (Train Sim World style, nearly) that it's a blast to take command of.


    In VR you'd be able to tilt your perspective by leading your head in the cab that it be neat to see what's ahead. The downside however is that the SteamVR tends to run obstructing the view that the developer seems a bit "grumpy" about not fixing this that he would repeat himself three times over on that matter. Great game, yet feel there's some slight miscommunication & anger going around in the development side of things. 90% Happiness, yet 10% crankiness.


    This game gets my seal of approval :thumbup:

    Welcome to the Game II is an atmospheric horror / strategy / puzzle game that takes you into the world of the deep web in search of the shadow web. Play as an investigative reporter trying to solve a case of a mysterious woman broadcasting for help as masked men are on the hunt to kill her.


    --------------


    Game Thoughts:


    Well, this game does great for being an awesome horror game on the survival side of things with attrtion. You sit at a computer trying to make sure nothing is going to kill you by scouring the web on your computer. It's a hybrid game of multiple elements, including free-roam. It's trying to get down the right balance of seeking out codes to avoid threats to save a girl on the deep web while not trying to get killed in the process. It's mostly straight forward horror stuff, yet very unforgiving that it leans into Japanese RPG territory of hard. You have to thread the needle so hard that people are obviously raging, yet I'd suggest Twitch streamers to try it out for the fun of it. I find the mechanics neat, yet the whole stress isn't for me. It's a 50/50 for me, yet I do respect the game that I respect even a 60-70% score, or whatever it has.


    It has loud RNG Jumpscares, highly graphic content (can be censored), and other crazy features planned. It's your standard fair, yet it's being blown out of proportion by Markiplier and other gamers...... Toxic fanbase trying to make it worse than it actually is because people follow that tribal mentality.......

    I'm hoping I worded things the way I wanted, yet feel I may not have articulated my wordings as much as I should have. More so with language barriers & "Lost in translation" for those reading in another language.

  • Bye`

    Awesome. Welcome back :D


    This time try and have fun with Rising World because that's what we're here for. Let's have fun :D

  • VR (Virtual Reality)

    Alright, I guess I'm the only "active" VR users, yet there have been those that posted before on Steam and such. You guys are making me appear silly, or maybe it was a request I made previously to stay on topic that you guys fear I may snap on you again. If that's the case then I guess we tend to clash a lot over "randomness".


    (The good)


    I just wanted to note something for those that wanted "food for thought" to check out something actually important that it's easy to miss when you don't care about something (Not paying attention) that you should watch 'Sword Art Online anime season 1 & 2, Ordinal Scale movie, as well as the airing 'Alternative' spin-off to see how VR games go when compared to our reality. View my second posting for Klein's quoting about the state of VR in VRChat SAO map. If you're bored one day just give Sword Art Online anime a go (regardless if it's a "crappy" show or not because that' subjective) to see how VR is portrayed.


    The way you see it in 'Ordinal Scale' is actually quite interesting because it also ties VR to Pokemon GO type deals, as well as merchandising that it may indeed be our future. Maybe not with Niantic partnered with VR technology, but someone actually genuinely worthwhile we can have fun games with something called 'Augma' being similar to Google Glass type technology. I love Japanese anime because it parallels so close to real world it's awesome.


    This is also a loose recommendation to Red51, Lucien, Waveshapr, and such on a more technical side of things of VR if they're curious + wanting to chime in on things. I'm looking at the technology side of that anime, even if the series itself is filled with feels (less so on the second half of first season; Second half of first season is a bit awkward in a rushed manner).


    -----------


    (The bad)


    Sorry, on the flip side of that I'm now feeling depressed because I poured $2000~ Canadian into being able to run VR that I may have gotten a defective Oculus Rift. It's not certain, yet the stupid crappy Oculus Rift store application claims my sensors are out of wack that it also won't boot up my headset. Something small and stupid happened that I'm all bitter, depressed, and defeated that I just may be KO'd for a little while that I may have caught some sort of "bug" from watching Sword Art Online: Ordinal Scale movie.....


    That 'Oculus Store' application is so useless I had to force it into only turning on in 'administration only' + how junky it is that it may be the cause of my problem here. Rift doesn't care about their home application that Steam is far more supportive that it's a bit ironic there that it makes me furious. I want to kick those that made the 'Oculus Store' for taking things for granted..... This is why we can't have nice things because of lazy practices......... I'm trying to re-calibrate/mend the issue that it simply loops me around that I'm unable to really fix the issue. It won't allow me to fix it......


    I'm feeling so depressed that I just want my VR headset to work that I feel I've just been purposely stepped on negatively so I wouldn't have fun so others could have fun... I could be wrong again, yet I hate when things go wrong....... I feel so deflated....... VR is where the future is and I want to have more fun testing out 'Tales of Glory', among other games. Rising World needs to borrow from 'Tales of Glory' combat wise, yet allow for seated play as well......


    I feel so "crap" & deflated that I don't know what to do........ ||

  • In game voice Chat

    I +1 this because we need something for this naturally that it's in almost every game like this. Not all, yet nearly. For those that don't have Discord, or randomly traveling would enjoy this that it should also be regional.


    Wurm Online/Unlimited has this, as does Conan Exiles, as well as Minecraft in text to speech manner. Even ARK.

  • VR (Virtual Reality)

    Tales of Glory also gets my highest respect as well for the whole attention to detailing and combat side of things. I just love how your gestures dictate the whole combat that your enemy reacts to it in some manner. It's so realistic that I just love being able to swing in various ways that you can get a good old fashioned sword battle going. You can use whatever weapon you desire that you can fight in your own combat style. I love being able to weild both a spear/lance & a sword for both long and close combat while parrying the enemy's attacks. Now, having a combat horse come at you is a bit terrifying in VR, yet it's fun heh.


    Just imaging this sort of combat in Rising World, I do wonder if this is even possible. I wonder if we'll be able to get to this sort of combat style in Rising World. Probably asking way too much of Red51 that maybe I should stick to these games instead, yet ......... Just imagining Rising World with this combat gesturing + holding your hand in the air to rally your troops is awesome! THIS is how you do VR games! :D


    Tales of Glory gets my stamp of approval. Try out the demo at the very least!

    Quote

    I'm not familiar with Busou Shinki I'll have to swing by your channel to see what your talking about.


    Unless you're in the anime realm I wouldn't expect anybody, yet I still do mention anime things because of Google. I'm not saying this bit in a rude way, just that I'd expect people to get curious to Google to see the basicness of things. My bad.... Late at night posting does that to me.


    Also, your way of handling clothing dyeing is interesting. I support any form of customization. editNPC height would also work, yet having a slider bar for height may work? The scale sliders could work here for NPC heights in the 'editnpc' or whatever the option is now. It's been awhile.


    I would really love walking into a living cityscape, even if it's dummy npcs. That be awesome.

  • Changelog 2018-03-22: Bows, armors, chainsaw and dummy NPCs

    Red51 noted that we would be able to tweak NPC heights that I hope we can still get around to do doing that so I can gradually start creating characters from the 'Busou Shinki' line, something Konami killed. I have one already ready that I just need to tweak her to 15 cm tall in Rising World while waiting to see if Red51 shall support external outfits in the similar manner to blueprints and posters in a folder.
