I've amusingly hit a nerve with a few fake people on the Steam forums so I'll be posting this here because real-world gamers had enough of all the fake stuff. I'm following this stuff to be in the know, and it has helped me stay in the know without being taken advantage of. People desire games, and only games, and none of the fake stuff to which real people have been rewarded with actual games in the indie and foreign gaming markets. AAA gaming market has screwed up things far too harshly to the point people simply desire to play retrogames. Older games are better games. Even South Korea jumped in on the bandwagon to hate on the fake political nonsense going around. IGN & IGN France both screwed up causing major backlash to the point all the forum trolls & haters I've encountered keep making fake excuses. It's comical to read, and that's what you call "coping". People can't comprehend reality and it's amusing in various ways. You never slander hard working genuine developers. Karma always finds a way back to bite.

Ubisoft Can't Make, nor Price a Proper Star Wars game (Star Wars: Outlaws):

The game costs a hefty $100-200 Canadian, depending on the version. What does Palworld cost? $30? Proper games are cheaper, and more fun. People prefer older Star Wars classics.

Ubisoft over-pricing their game, forced their game to be fake-political, willing to delete owned games off your library (you'll own nothing and be happy), while also having morally corrupted individuals stupidly defending their game simply because it's "pretty". Lipstick on a pig, big woop. Nothing beats 'Star Wars Galaxies. People should instead go play 'SWGemu', something which is free, and more engaging.

Even Dokkibird clearly stated indie games are more fun than AAA games, something we can all agree on. Well, in relation of Pokemon vs PalWorld people preferred a more fleshed out game than a broken AAA Pokemon game by Nintendo-Game Freak. PalWorld embarrassed the Pokemon gaming market to its core. We're desiring to play Rising World which is an indie game so that's what we're doing. People are also fed up with AAA games sucking to which they're playing retro-games more often than not playing a game at all. Retro-games, or bust.

- Stellar Blade - IGN France & Fake Game Journalists slander developers, gain instant Karma:

Like I said, real people are done with fake political nonsense. They desire games, and only games. None of the fake crap, and they won't even allow fake people to slander their fellow developers and significant others. IGN France slandered a developer for not knowing what a real women appears like, he has a wife & a real-world model attached to the game. The developer clearly knows what a real-world women looks like. Maxim-Korea openly mocked IGN France not once, but TWICE, and fake people are butthurt about it. Same with those found on Steam forums hating the truth. I laughed. Maxim-Korea even thanked Asmongold who told things as they were, to the dismay of people desiring to butcher games to unplayable states.

Issue being how fit females/women are offensive to the Fake-morally corrupted people to which IGN France desired to attack an Asian game becoming a bully in the gaming world scene. They slandered a developer's wife and model for being fit, real, and healthy while unhealthy mindsets were viewed as "proper" in France & the rest of the Western world. Real people weren't having it, snapping back at IGN & IGN France being dumb. Asia is full of fit people (& women), and same with traditional European areas.

- (NSFW) Maxim Korea blasts IGN (France) & fake political activists:

- (NSFW) Maxim Korea blasts Fake Activists a 2nd time & thanks Asmongold

If Maxim Korea stated this, most of Korea backs Maxim Korea as well. Seeing my offended butthurt stalkers on Steam Forum's (Buttkissing) thread is comical (some of whom are also located here). I love it when the world starts healing. Sure, there may be a few set-backs, and a few locked threads because people can't conform to reality, though reality does push back in due time. I love it when reality starts healing where it is needed. Seeing fake people squirm, gaslight, and deflect while eventually getting hit by a karma is highly satisfying. Whenever I offend people it's because they clearly done something wrong on their end. They have skeletons in their closet(s) needing cleaning. It's spring, might as well go spring cleaning. Be a new you, and an honest you.

(I am aware fake people hate Rev , Hero Hei, & Asmongold because they've been told to do so, and it goes against the narrative of intentionally destroying media to an unenjoyable state. People genuinely desire to decimate everything over fake ideals, and that shouldn't belong in gaming. Same with false-defending fake minorities doesn't belong in gaming. Even if numerous of my threads get locked it'll (fake ideals) shall simply continue to bring uneeded harm to the gaming space. I'm happy proper games are winning. I'm happy South Korea is in this fight, and various Japanese rebellion groups fighting back against even corrupted AAA Japanese companies. Karma shall eventually find a way to restore balance when "push comes to shove". I simply desired to share AAA game developers and developers being dishonest while other (more honest) individuals and developers become more successful through genuine honesty. The more genuine a game developer or studio is the more likely you'll be rewarded, as PalWorld & Helldivers 2 was. Sadly, becoming too successful has its flaws, something VRChat noted through fake political nonsense hijacking both it, and Helldivers 2. Genuine intentions are always appropriately rewarded while fake ones eventually are hit by real-world karma. Slow, yet eventual.)

- Ubisoft Korea dissolved:

Who knows, maybe they've made decent games. One thing I am however 100% sure of is if you're tied to Ubisoft you're destined/bound to fail. Ubisoft admires corporate control and social destruction, even within their own corporation. They desire to screw everything up into unplayable, buggy messes. They've even hijacked other modder's mods for themselves claming it as their own (as had been done for a VR bird flying game).

Indie games for the win!

Ubisoft Korea going "poof" is a great thing. Get more studios actually desiring to do proper things. More Korean gaming studios making games should be encouraged, and less grindy games at that.

I love it when the gaming industry corrects itself when reality gets hit with "push-comes-to-shove" movements. Karma may be slow at times, it does however rubberband harder the longer it's outstretched. The more harm you do the worse it'll be.

Not in the mood. Depressed. Stewing, upset, with a cold, and been MIA for self-care. I have to keep dealing with idiots constantly gaslighting me on the daily. I am however happy about the Blue Archive Anime we're both aware of, yet constantly "forever frustrated" with various people willing to pick low IQ fights with me. The first episode is finally out, and is awesome, though sadly contains translation errors because people are lazy and dumb. We can't have nice things because of other people......

Oh, and be careful, you have people on Steam forum making accusations everybody is using alt puppet accounts. I allegedly have many, and so do you, and everybody else. We're all puppet accounts. I'm too tired of people's childish nonsense. Thankfully played Flight sim flying from Tokyo to Kushiro in an indirect manner, yet still have yet to play play Blue Archive mods for Minecraft and anything else. I wouldn't play Monster Hunter, though we need one for any other RPG, etc. I've noticed Wakamo's Halo noted in the opening. Can't wait for her to appear in the show to cause her yandere trouble.

(Images I've already shared on social media. I'm loving it, but again the subtitles are trash.)

As for the other game you suggested it appears you had too much to drink again, you forgot to share the Steam page. It's out! Instead of picklejarghost maybe you should be Vodkajarghost with pickles in it. . Yeah, sorry. I'm depressed (and we both know I'm joking) because I keep getting sick then I read other people's stupid offended bullcrap. Maybe I should pull up a Chat GPT and talk to them more often, seems to be more worthwhile than attempting to find people who are fake about their interests over what's in reality. Not referring to you, but hey.... I'm just venting. I had my fun in Microsoft Flight Sim, even that had its own stupid issues because Microsoft sucks at everything.

As for the game you suggested, again.......

Lightyear Frontier is a peaceful open-world farming adventure on a planet at the far edge of the galaxy. Climb into your versatile mech and start your new home on a distant planet with up to 3 friends as you farm alien crops, build your own homestead, and explore the untamed wilderness of the world.

Maybe that peacefulness is what I need. It however needs companions, trains, etc. Mechs are cool, it needs more.

I've stumbled across Brick Rigs by chance.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/552100/Brick_Rigs/

Big sandbox world. It even has an Avro Arrow, something people are afraid to add ironically into Microsoft Flight Sim. I've tried suggesting Avro Arrow for Flight Sim which had me banned on their official forums for requesting an Avro Arrow. People are so dumb these days with their power trips and false validations pretending they're always correct about things, especially when arguing about things against me. Imagine that, being banned for requesting a stupid ass Canadian plane for a plane game, yet it's out and available in Brick Rigs.... Even 'Project WIngman', yet everything is always offensive to the fake people.

You'll probably not answer this, but can you tell me why, for the love of god, people are so stupidly stubborn and resistant when other people are willing to fill in the gaps in other games... Certain people go "no" & "do it yourself" while others go "I'm doing this simply because I can, and it's fun to fill in voids." They also note it's an "passion project" so they do it because they can. Then there are those pretending to be "cool" when they really aren't. People frustrate me when they're as dishonest as they come. If they were legit that's another thing, they're cool and awesome. But they're not.........

I heavily digress............ I'm happy we're finally in Blue Archive season. I even have my Ichika from a lucky pull. I'll soon have time again to FINALLY fiddle with the Blue Archive mod, if I can find it and install it properly. Minecraft is a total mess now.

1) I'm open for a third trip to Japan, or my second to Vancouver. For now, I have to settle with dealing with 2020 issues (still) while seeking a place to actually settle. My fellow coworkers and myself are absolutely livid we're being forced into a corner and onto the street (paying arm and a leg for everything) in a country where people are willing "gluttons for punishment" in Canada. You're even being shamed into being a willing masochistic moron to part with all the money in your wallet. If you cry you're allegedly an "alt-right Nazi" and that pisses me off. In this economy I'm not even allowed to live anywhere in Canada, also special thanks to people who support woke politics. It's also why people are furious with me, they desire to push people onto the streets. Google up all the tent cities we have going on in Canada, etc. It's what I've been posting about, yet people get so offended about reality it causes threads to get locked. People can't cope properly. Whenever, as a Canadian, I can own an apartment in Canada I'll do so, and I have to find an apartment at the end of 2024. I can't go on trips anymore. With the way politics goes it's other people who are allowed to do so and I'm supposed to be homeless. Maybe Japan is indeed a place for me, people seem to desire me more there than they do here in Canada. I'm trapped in Canada now, maybe for good now. I'm probably going to die in this politically corrupted shithole. I can't do trips anymore, even if it's to scout for places. I'm dead here now (for now).

Hospital wise, I'm fine now. I have a secondary checkup in April. Better than I was where I felt like I was actually dying. I'm happy to be alive, though noted previously. I'm also aware I vent a lot, though certain things just have to be said.

2) Yeah, as noted, I'm trying to wait for the Rising World "Map" update so I can finally do more in the game. Need more interactive features and QoL features. I I feel I hit so many reality notes in both game & forums to the point we're not allowed to do anything with Rising World anymore. I'm still riding the waves. I can still do all the avoiding I can, people will still find a reason to be offended by my presence, as they are with Mori from Hololive, or whatever. I'm not even allowed to breath on the Rising World Steam forum. People are doing all the weird backwards work for me in the whole "social distancing" thing allegedly claiming to block me, etc so I guess it works out in all these strange ways. If there is time Wednesday I'll go dig into the whole Blue Archive mods for Minecraft. That, or Little Maids mod. Maybe. And yeah, Japan is my gateway to freedom. I'm probably going to miss my chance to head back there with how trapped I shall now be over here in Canada. Gaming may take a hit as well.

3) As for the Blue Archive Anime side of things I'm happy one of the "best girl" finally had her recent PV shared. So cute.

Onikata Kayoko, with her trusty Heckler & Koch P30L pistol using a silencer.

The video you shared previously has her. The guy who made the video you shared also noted her "gas" feature, something which is fear itself. Fear and intimidation as a goth-punk girl.

Anime keeps calling out to me, and this is a good way to make me happy again. Seeing Kayoko in Minecraft & the Anime is a nice hype factor.

Now, if only we could somehow import models into Rising World I would nudge everything as close to reference as possible. Have to wait on Red51 to further push the API further and to still find the right willing soul to help out. Though, if Red51 hates me for whatever reason I won't be allowed to do what I desire with Rising World. If that's the case I would indeed have to find an alternative game similar to Rising World. Yeah, from the looks of things I'll have to seek outsourcing help from external sites, as slim as that may be. I'm a villain in Rising World being accused of stupid crap so maybe that's indeed the avenue of external help. Everything was noted to be my fault, hence why I keep noting such.

If I'm allowed to easily import stuff of my own accord (without requiring 24 hour Youtube tutorials & 24 million external softwares) then I'd be happy. A simple modding API to give the NPC a Kayoko appearance, a pistol, their own default animations, etc (Vroid/VRChat/Tower Unite style) then I'd do everything myself. I won't harass someone, I'd just do it myself. I'd customize my own game in my own happy Anime corner, as one would have done with Skyrim modding, giving Kayoko her own active form in Rising World. I would even happily have her tag along to shoot bandits, pirates, and whoever else dares ruin my day inside of Rising World.

I've noted time and again how Minecraft is "boring" and "lonely", and how it needed a push to be more attractive. What I've been sharing is a good start to that, the whole LMM & BA Mod side of things. I tried noting this, yet everything always went "wooooosh". I guess I hang around Anime too much with Western games now lagging behind heavily. I've noted Kayoko above, but that goes for anything KanColle, Azur Lane, Busou Shinki, etc. Anything, and everything neat I would willingly import, if given proper modding-friendly tools to do so.

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

Side-note - Enshrouded:

Enshrouded was noted a lot on Steam and here so I figured I'd look at their roadmap to see what they have currently planned, and planned for the future. Steam Deck support is in the future. The way they handle their NPCs is fairly passive, something not to my taste. It has to handle what you see above with LittleMads Mod & Blue Archive mod. They have to actually be active.

This video tells you where to find the NPCs, how to handle them, yet the NPCs are agitatingly passive. They're pretty much useless, or at least to me at first glance. They need to be more proactive and assertive, like the Minecraft mods I shared. On the roadmap it was noted you would eventually obtain more settlement NPCs of two kinds, and even pet NPCs. What about companions? The game is built as a co-op game, what about NPCs? You know, like Dragon's Dogma type companions being Pawns. I'm simply going to sideline Enshrouded, it doesn't hit the right notes I seek and desire. It's currently not the game for me.

Viewing Enshrouded from the NPC angle has me fuming and livid. Frustrated. I'm being hammered back into Minecraft and I'm agitated about that fact. Thankfully, it appears to be Java side of things.

I've also tried seeking out some Japanese sandbox games, there really isn't any. They don't sell well in Japan. It's RPGs & gatches, or bust. Mods for games, sure. Rising World and other games have to be modded so I have to find whatever game is modded. Anything other than Minecraft level of modding and accessibility. If Rising World could mature and wake up it would be the perfect platform for all these awesome mods. I need to find some alternatives just in case I'll be forcefully evicted from Rising World in one manner or another.

Minetest was neat, but as was noted by someone else and myself it's still highly youthful. I really need to dig overly deep to find something on the Japanese side giving us all the benefits for genuine fun sake. If people desire to mod then they would mod, and I need to find that sort of game. Everything done for fun and escapism. I miss that point of view in gaming. Even for Skyrim. You request something and someone would tweak their mod to fit what you've requested. Those modders are fun.

----------

I guess this is considered rambling. I guess I'll stop there, after I note the following..... I want to see where I still stand in Rising World so I'll continue to test the waters. It however legit feels people actually hate me for invalid reasons so I'll simply stay out of spite knowing people hate me for bullcrap reasons, and because Rising World is awesome with neat modding potentials. Once I get my own little Anime pocket realm I'll do my own thing. I'm simply waiting on maps, trains, NPC Companions, and proper Anime mods to keep to myself. If another game does better than Rising World offering what I desire I'll jump ship (in response to forum hostilities) to that other game in parallel standards, or better.

Blue Archive is bliss.

Can't go wrong with Blue Archive's music.

I had a Japan trip to go to from January 26th to February 19/20th giving people a break from me and themselves. The best time of my life, as with the 2023 trip. It was awesome seeing all the fun common sense and creativity there. People were even upset they couldn't meet up with me while there, yet happy when they finally managed to meet up. I was a wreck, yet still made the most of it with what I planned and meeting up with a few people. Everything was tightly planned to the point I sadly had to even give up on a few places to visit. I sadly also had to visit the hospital shortly after returning from Japan from March 3rd to 7th from an infection spawning brutal fevers. I probably could have died then. Self-caused. From then on I tried playing Rising World only to end up fading in and out of it. Spinning cotton using the tape-on-mouse trick burnt me out from RIsing World. Granted, I do have more threads to work with now. I've built a few more structures, and a farm. That's about it. Nothing major. Waiting on the maps update to return to my original settlements, as well as to branch out to new biomes. I've been mainly hanging around Azur Lane and Blue Archive mainly. Blue Archive is awesome. I've even tried messing around with the Little Maids mod (UWU Little Maids mod) for Minecraft via Curse Forge launcher. Been given a rough spawn. Still don't have maids, I however made my spawn less brutal via Java version. I dislike Minecraft, though the Japanese modded side has been calling out to me.

If we had these Little Maids mod added into Rising World everything would be a bit better for the grind. Of course, the robotic maids would have to be tuned to Rising World graphics and animations, and I'm fine with that. As long as they're cute, adorable, and helpful I wouldn't mind.

I may fiddle with the Blue Archive mini-mod of Shiroko later.

If people are going to be rude to you then you might as well go to where you're actually desired, such as the Anime world of gaming.

Maybe you're right. If I'm not wanted in Rising World maybe I should go to where I'm desired. People have openly gaslit me, voided me, harassed me, and even shut me down in the plugin request with false accusations. I've been desiring to jump back into PalWorld (as you've noted), or even Craftopia, even if both game are harsh on both my PC and Steam Deck. There are a few games I've seen pop up. I've even picked up the original Dragon Quest Builder. I need to find an alterative as a proper safety net game, somewhere where people know how to be kind, helpful, respectful, and more humane. Maybe I should make my way back into VRChat, even if I'm forever alone there. I even saw people hyping up Enshrouded so maybe I can mess around there seeing where it all leads. If I can find a Japanese outlet, or something maybe we can have more fun mods and plugins for that game. I sided with Rising World because of how we'll get awesome ships, trains, and how the API/Plugin shall shape the game. There was even a chance for NPC Companions, but Red51 even noted numerous times that's an overly slim chance.

Sadly, people have strongly voted in banning me, refusing to inject fun mods, etc, even falsely flagging me as a villain (you know, victim-blaming behaviour) so maybe I'll have to seek a game similar to Rising World and hype it up more than I had with Rising World. That alterative game to Rising World however has to be found first before I potentially jump ship. There are many games similar to Rising World, they however need to have trains, posters, horses, and etc. Even fun Anime mods at their side. They need to be built, matured, and be known to me before I consider even jumping ship. I'll still keep hanging around Rising World, though am aware of how dishonest people have been.

Maybe this should have been a DM, but it is what it is. People are free to talk about Anime, etc. Anime is like a dream; Soothing, peaceful, and an escapism. If I ever see an Azur Lane, KanColle, Busou Shinki, or any other Anime mod for Rising World then that be awesome. Blue Archive mod for Rising World would be glorious, even boosting Rising World to the top. For now, I'll have to settle for the Minecraft mod, I guess. I even have to wait for Rising World to mature even further. I can't wait for the upcoming Blue Archive Anime, people shall be more than hyped up for everything awesome and positive. Maybe they'll eventually find the Blue Archive mod for Minecraft. If Rising World had that Rising World would be boosted in popularity, hopefully enjoyment.

Awesome on the new profile. Looks good on you. Thanks for sharing the videos, looking good. I'm itching to play-test it. I however need to find time for it, and everything else. If things mellow out maybe I can have fun with Blue Archive for Rising World, but that now seems slimmer than anything in the world. Everything seems so impossible, and intentionally so. Maybe things shall change for the better in the future, who knows. I want to have faith in Rising World, but we shall see.

We'll see what the future holds. Thanks for your concerns. If anything, I'm simply happy to alive. Everything is taken for granted.

(Edit: Had to do a few typo edits in my haste posting. I'll probably edit some more, or post a follow-up post. As I said, I'm simply happy to be alive, yet I may not even be allowed to have that joy either.)

It honestly amazes me how much people desire not to have fun in their life. It genuinely does. Because my other thread was hijacked, sabotaged, and butchered by sensitive people I'm now forced to share this thread because of other manipulative and falsely-speaking people by only sharing Blue Archive content from it, something which was intentionally ignored to attack me with other low-hanging fruit. Learn to have fun and be less offended. Learn to have more cuteness in your life and less gaslighting. A forum is a place speak with like-minded people, but because we're in the age of 2020+ you're not even allowed to discuss the game the forum is about, let alone side-things. Shame.

Embrace the goodness that is Blue Archive.

(Until Rising World is chosen to have a mod of it's own, I have to share Minecraft's version until then. Once Rising World obtains its own version I'll hype and preach about it instead.)

---------

Shiroko from Blue Archive.

(The files replace the dog/wolf, but only client side; Tweets/posts have specific replies to them showing alternate images and files.)

It's cute, and it's awesome. I love how wholesome it is. Rising World would genuinely benefit in having this for the whole fun and entertainment factor.

Alternate Blue Archive mod for Minecraft

Rising World would be awesome in having these sorts of mod, court-of-public-opinion willing.

Left for Dead 2 Blue Archive mod:

Have some beautiful music.

Now, if you'll excuse me I'm going to go suffer in the real world (as well as digital) because that is what the Rising World community has desired I should do. They've wished ill will on me. o7

Quote from red51

Yes, unfortunately cotton saplings aren't implemented yet, but that's on our to-do list

Only the tall cacti drop saplings at the moment.

Hmm... acacias are supposed to drop saplings (I've just tested it) Did you maybe mean the aleppo pines instead? They indeed drop no saplings yet (but that's also on our to-do list)^^

We'll add at least snake meat with one of the next updates But probably you won't get leather from snakes. Originally we didn't want to add leather for small animals (like rabbits, snakes, chicken etc). There was a discussion about that on Steam recently and some suggestions were brought up (like having different sized furs), but these things would still take some time to implement...

Unfortunately the map UI isn't ready yet, so I can't say for sure if it will have an input field for the coordinates... but alternatively we could definitely add a console command to create a map marker at an arbitrary position

Display More

I'm livid with people, but I'm happy with the way you're treating the game.

1) As expected, and it makes me happy. Keeping them unharvested for now so I can have something to pick up later.

2) Yup, as noted. Good luck on future cactus and plant additions. Would be awesome to grow them out and use them as garden material.

3) Aleppo Pines, maybe. Yeah. The dry ones. Good to hear they're on your to-do list.

4) Snake meat? Neat. Good addition. Take your time, though would be neat having snake-specific recipes for the fun of it.

5) I guess that's one way of getting around. For when the time comes I do hope it's eventually possible. Doesn't have to be now, maybe later.

Thanks Red51.

- New Settlement Founded - Valsia - Savannah Coastal Town:

Finally decided to get back to exploring my world to find one of the new biomes. I've seen sub-biomes, nothing actually new. Savannah biome was my first new biome found, and I'll proudly show it off with it being a nice little challenging area to settle in. Wish I had fishing to help out. It's a nice large island with neat stuff. For the record books I need to note (also for myself) I founded Valsia on February 21st, 2024, something which I'll also echo in the world's log as well. Started off with a pathway to enter a mine, then the main building, and a farming land (something I moved uphill), and stables. I needed a horse, and a horse I got.

Now I need to make another building dedicated to making paper, etc. I need maps! I need to be able to input coordinates to make my way back. Shall focus on making this settlement fully interactive with the latest gadgets, yet kept in its village-town vibe. A fishing & farming settlement.

Land ho!~

My god, is it ever far away though. I'm glad Red51 sped up the RIB boats allowing me to get here quicker. I may have to make an eventual underground subway train network just to reach this place in snooze-mode.

Greeted by a snake.

Converting the coastline into a pathway (to also reach a nearby mining area).

- An accident in my town-hall workshop building. Vomited ingots everywhere from full inventory.

- Terraforming coastline into a settlement. Park was supposed to be a farm, I moved the farm upwards. Nothing planted, cotton doesn't drop seeds.

- Nightly panic attack.

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

The state of Valsia after the first day & night (real world).

- town hall + blacksmith + Fire beacon.

- Stables, park, and pathway upwards. (Wild horses seem attached to my tamed horse.)

- Upper farming area (Wish I had cotton and other stuff up here.)

(Left side shall lead to a tree farm area. Struggling with that with how long it takes to grow trees.)

Looking down at park, cityhall building, stables, main area, and mining area.

Not bad for a first day & night. Since I'm now stuck here (without maps) I shall work my way towards making more basic structures, a paper making area, and etc. Even a bakery, among other stuff. I don't have wheat, though could probably double back slightly to a nearby temperate island for wheat. Once map are released I'll make my way towards other biomes. I'll also clean up areas as I play more by adding finer details, etc. I simply desire to settle in with the basics, though I genuinely 100% need maps now.

Good times.

Having some issues on my side, but I finally found a savannah (arid) biome 20,000 away from my island.

- Cotton saplings don't drop saplings.

- One cactus drops saplings, the others don't.

- Acacia trees (with leaves) don't drop saplings

- The guy is jittering, as if shivering at the 20,000 mark. (You noted you'd fix this later, thought I'd note it).

- Snakes can't be cut for leather, only killed.

(I'll edit more if I come across more, or I may follow up if someone posts.)

----------

For the upcoming maps update can you please allow us to input the X,Y,Z coordinates to mark it? Home base is one, an outpost is another, and someone's random house elsewhere could be another. -234, 64, 2342 (for example) could be searched, and marked on the map. It won't reveal, only leave a marker. Can we please have this for the upcoming update, especially with how many outposts people have made, including myself?

Quote from red51

Thanks a lot for your feedback, I'm happy to hear that!

About the biomes (or more precisely, climate regions like the arctic or dry region), they only spawn on other islands - you can always find an arctic region on the island north to your starter island, and a dry region on the island south to your starter island

You're welcome. You know I'm always happy to provide you with necessary feedback to make this game awesome.

I'm aware, it's however a chore trying to find those biomes. I only found sub-biomes, not the actual ones. I'll see if I can find any later tonight. I'll see what I find, now making full use of my compass this time around.

Quote from red51

Sounds like a good idea, I'll put that on our list!

Excellent! Good luck on that!

Quote from red51

Basically we could add them, although I'm not sure if someone holds copyright on the shades

A bit hard to tell on my end, but I'm happy you've at least considered it. Maybe as a mod via mod.io, I guess.

That's all I could find, and NFT nonsense, etc. I mean, if Azur Lane is allowed to make use of it as a celebration animation then I'm certain you're allowed to make use of it. If not, again, could always host it via mod.io as an example plugin.

[Change] Increased speed of RIB

Oh! Nice! I missed this with how jetlagged and tired I am. Thank you very much! Getting around with the RIB is even more efficient. I love it! Managed to find myself a savanah biome.

Quote from Funmichi

The building system of Rising World is so good. It is also much better than Enshrouded.

Some options are a bit too extended, I like the options of the Java versions more and this leads to the feel of a editor instead of a building game, but it works as expected and this counts.

The building system in Rising World is the best out of everything I've tried. Well, maybe Feed The Beast Modpacks have a decent building, something RIsing World takes full advantage of. I never tried Enshrouded, though every other game bores me now when having experienced both Medieval Engineers, and now fully with Rising World.

Yeah, everything works better in Rising World now. Each update is making Rising World that much better.

Red51, once again, thank you for finally adding in horses! It made everything more accessible and more fun in Rising World! At last, I can finally go places, do more things, etc. WOOO!~

When I played on my Steam Deck I struggled to find biomes, though shall seek them out properly later on my PC. Glad it works on Steam Deck, props to Red51 for making the game mostly playable on it.

Quote

- Grass is a nice addition to green up locations

- Weed whacker is a nice addition to go along with it to get the grass back.

- Horses are finally here! WOOO!~ Helps speed things along. Loving the addition of bags, though never knew I could take them on and off. I'll try that next time.

- The new clothing (masks, etc) are a neat addition.

[/quote]

My log when I played today. Loving how the animals spawn in, and even have the various carrots and shades on them. White rabbit, white-orange foxes. I'm finding more the more I play. Even bears doing their standing alert before attacking, good stuff!

Sorry for the double post, I however had to make note. I even spent a lengthy while tending to my hemp to make cloth to make use of these new items. Loving it! Same with the hunting for animals to turn into leather, or the bear-pig-goat max. The teddy bear mask had me laughing. I even noted the fake V-mask you had. I now wish we had clothing displays to openly display them. I would love to eventually hang these, display them on a stand, etc. Maybe a coat-rack system as well. Anything. (Same goes for weapons, time willing.)

Another great update, Red51!

- Carrot on a stick pig

- Pig with shades (And my new trusty horse mount):

Would be neat to get an "deal with it" shades, as Prinz Eugen (Azur Lane) has. Even if we can't, I'll think of such.

- Killed normal cow, obtained purple Milka cow hide. I would never kill special animals, that's one way to keep them alive.

- White Rabbit. Even if white rabbits are normal, they are special. I seen a white Pigeon in Japan. When we get birds I would be surprised to see white birds.

I normally don't see pigeons as white, and it looks more like a Pigeon than it does a Seagull. I stared at it for a good 5 minutes next to Ueno zoo.

- This fox had an interesting white-orange colour pattern to it. May be hard to tell, it however appeared overly different to the usual.

First played it on my Steam Deck, and it was awesome. Now having played more of it on PC it's even more awesome.

[New] New climate regions: cold and dry regions (including many new biomes, e.g. deserts, savannahs, tundras, taigas etc)

I found your sub-biomes, though shall seek them out later. Still preferring the upcoming maps to encourage me to go exploring without getting lost, though may brave the waters again going pure south or north. I may go south. Only sub-biomes found.

Quote

[New] Implement caves

[New] Deep elevations now consist of big caves filled with water
[New] Added hell (below deep caves)

May explore this later, though neat when I did see it (on my Steam Deck). Never did go in. Previous show it to be neat. Didn't go deep yet so I haven't seen hell yet.

Quote

[New] New ridable horses (14 different horse variants)

[New] Added saddle and optional saddle bags

WOOOO!~ At last! We FINALLY have horses! Now allows me to go further, reaching further. I can happily add bags onto it, which I have.

Quote

[New] New item: toolbelt, which increases the number of available slots in your item hotbar
[New] New item: weed whacker
[New] New items: several swords

Toolbelt became my new necessary, and favourite item. Instant like!

Grass & weed whacker are my new favourite additions. Finally greened up my locations (mainly on Steam Deck prior to PC use). Absolutely loving the weed whacker.

I've seen the swords, I'll however have to fiddle with them later. Neat.

Quote

[New] New passive animals: penguin, elephant (2 variants), rhinoceros, zebra (2 variants)
[New] Bulls, goats, rams and mooses now attack you if you attack them first (also applies to rhino and elephant)
[New] Wild boars now always attack the player

Awesome! Have yet to see them, yet awesome!

Bulls are like bears, they're brutal. Thankfully can drill and spear them too death for their leather. Goats are brutally deadly, don't mess with them! They command respect.

Quote

[New] Aggressive animals play a "warning" animation first before attacking the player

Love how the bears alert (stand up) before they attack. Always helpful seeing them react to you prior out-right attacking you. Less of a jump scare.

Quote

[New] Heartbeat sound is audible when the player has been detected by an aggressive animal

I need to pay attention, yet love this QoL addition. This is why I admire RW so much.

Quote

[New] New crafting station: tanning rack
[New] You can now get pelts and hides from animals and turn them into leather at the tanning rack

Nice! I started spamming them in my world to make use of leather. As another person noted, it's now fun to go hunting. Hunting for leather, for meat, and even to make animal masks. I died laughing seeing the masks, even using them. Alice in Wonderland.

Quote

[New] Added optional craftable storage for inflatable boat (RIB)

Instantly made and added onto my RIB.

Quote

[New] Added 2 doors (old wooden door from Java version)

I may be blind, yet glad we have more variety. Can't go wrong with that.

Quote

[New] Added gift (including several variants)

Nice! May use this later for when NPCs are more aware of their surroundings, or for when friends desire to play more. Or, for when people who stupidly hate me wise up. Could probably start being kind to people again once people wise up. For now, I'll simply wish and hope for NPCs eventually being aware of their surroundings for when you decide to gift them stuff.

Or use as decoration for when December rolls around.

Quote

[New] Added safe object (to store items)

Happily built one. Nice addition.

Quote

[New] Added gramophone object (including 3 music discs)

I forgot about this, though shall instantly check it out next session. Can't wait to get my gramophone up and ready again, as I had prior.

Quote

[New] Added several special variants of some animals

White rabbit, pig with a carrot on a stick, pig with shades , and hopefully (later) we can later get an 'Deal with it" pig (view Azur Lane's Prinz Eugen shades.)

Saw a white-orange fox today, not sure if it was the lighting. Was neat to see. Kon!~

Quote

[New] Added 20 new cacti (also removed the old ones)

Once I manage to locate a new biome I"ll try to make note of this. The preview showed it to be neat.

Quote

[New] Added several new trees (mesquite, aleppo pines etc)
[New] Added several new smaller plants
[New] Added new music tracks
[New] Added medieval fur coat (clothing piece)

1) Can't wait to find those new trees. I need more tree varieties, especially for decoration.

2) Sweet! Hope we can go gardening later (I hedge-garden update may be necessary).

3) Nice! Shall try to hear out for them.

4) Using it now. Nice! Just like the JAVA player update times.

Quote

[New] Added new headgear/accessory items (vanity): pilgrim hat, felt hat, wizard hat, fedora, cowboy hat, redcoat hat, boonie, safari hat, sombrero, wooly, cappy, captain hat, chef hat, fez, jester hat, jockey helmet, crown, cylinder, ushanka, unclesam hat, xmas hat, pickelhaube, bear mask, goat mask, pig mask, teddy mask, bunny mask, aviator glasses, sunglasses, groucho mask

Started collecting them in my cloth building.

I died laughing at the animal ones. This leaves room for more amusements to be had. I hope I can find someone to find more Anime-tized ones instead of being told I should be banned for life and Red51 shouldn't listen to me. More variety always helps.

Quote

[New] Added diving goggles (which remove blurriness underwater)

Nice! Though can't wait for the full scuba gear to allow for submerged activity.

Quote

[New] Northern lights (aurora borealis) are now visible in snow biomes, depending on weather

Previews look awesome. Can't wait to see these in actual action once I can locate a snowy biome.

Quote

[New] New weather effect: blizzard (strong snowstorm)

Can't wait to experience this. Always needed more severe weather, this may be awesome. A heavy rainstorm should return, the one people noted it was hard to see anything. We need more squalls and whiteouts of both rain and snowy variety. Almost like current fog.

Quote

[New] Cutting grass now adds grass blades to your inventory (to replant grass)
[New] Smoothing wet ground with a rake now randomly spawns earthworms

Good addition! Makes using weed whacker overly fun.

Have yet to rake wet ground for earthworms.

Quote

[New] Branches now spawn randomly on the ground (can be picked up to get sticks)

Just saw it, nice addition! X marks the spot.

Quote

[New] Added setting to change the max resolution for custom images (posters)

Awesome! Shall make use of this later. This one is down my route.

Quote

[New] Character preview is now visible in inventory screen

Nice, but wish I could figure out how to rotate.

Quote

[New] Drag clothes on character to wear them (or vice-versa)

And right-click. Neat!

Quote

[New] Auto-Run setting is now available in controls setting

I missed this! I need to look back into this! I'll make self-notes for myself.

Quote

[New] Added command "renderplayer" to save a rendered image of the player model on the hard drive

Handy! This shall be useful later.

Quote

[Change] Updated moving behaviour of animals

They now get stuck on water edge, yet it's more useful.

Quote

[Change] Elements are now picked up automatically when deconstructing them with a sledgehammer (can be disabled in config file)

This one caught me by surprise making me wonder what was up. Shame I can't see the pile, yet it's one of those neat QoL features.

Quote

[Change] If a bow or rifle is equipped, the remaining amount of ammo is shown on the right side now

I'm going to have to test each weapon now. Bows & rifles should be next on my list. Nice QoL addition.

Quote

[Change] Player health is now also shown in inventory (next to character preview field)

So, that's what that was. Neat!

Quote

[Change] Increased rotate/turn speed of horse

Glad this is better. Horses are actually very fun, now even more so thanks to this fix. Was almost like driving a boat.

Quote

[New] When picking up saddle bags from a horse, they will now keep the items stored in them

I wonder how you do this, though shall be awesome to do so. QoL fixes are fun!

---------

Good stuff! Thanks for this update! As you've noted, I'm now waiting impatiently for your upcoming maps update. I need to rediscover my lost outpost, chart my current ones, and even find the new biomes. I'll go on a blind exploration later.

Saw another video recommended to me, thought I'd share.

The Downfall of Minecraft & Mojang... has begun?

The title may be click-baity, it however isn't wrong. Minecraft can't fix Bedrock edition, even if people prefer Java over bedrock. Everybody proper prefers Java version over Bedrock Mojang. Mojang seems to half-care, yet sadly Microsoft is the one who cares even less than even the half-caring Mojang. It's horrible.

Minecraft Dev edition allegedly added Fireflies, was leaked, and added it fully to then gaslight the community.

"Concept art isn't commitment."

(Most hated video of Mojang.)

Rising World shall always be my most preferred game, with MineTest now coming in second. I'm having fun rebuilding in Minetest, and even testing out various add-ons of farms, trains, etc, all in survival mode. I love how peaceful and awesome it is to play MineTest on my Steam Deck, something I wish I could do naturally with Rising World. Rising World is sadly still "bloated". My friend played Rising World on his Steam Deck enjoying what he saw, yet sadly being forced to relog into my session every 20 minutes, or so, from chunk loading errors, etc. I can also see why MineTest has Butterflies and fireflies now all thanks to that video. Rising World and MineTest are both awesome.

Everything needs to go back to the basics.

Why Is Minecraft So Depressing?

Why is it depressing? Why is Rising World the same way in singleplayer mode?

("But! But! You need join multiplayer mode! You're missing the whole point here.")

What made Minecraft great was its negative point. A double-edged sword, if you will. The selling point of open worlds is how you're initially alone, eventually gaining companionship as time goes on, or at least via tamed pets. As noted in the video, even echoing my exact thoughts, Minecraft is depressing because we're the only ones there. We're alone. Even with pets we're still depressingly alone, nobody to talk to, share our builds, etc. We randomly spawn in the world, spurred on by the first few days of survival before everything starts to settle down. We're rushing to stay safe from mobs, build farms, etc, all prior to eventually feeling the full effects of "loneliness".

It's the "settling down" part which gets people thinking "I wish I had someone to play with" which starts kicking in. People wish and desire to play the game with someone (even if it's NPC companions) to join them in this world.

Various folks made varying levels of NPC companions mobs, the highlight even being the 'LittleMaidsMod'.

You at least had little helpers helping you out, even interacting with. Having humanoids to properly interact with at least spurred you on further as you pampered them. At least you had someone to care for. Sure, maybe they won't acknowledge your creations and builds, but at least they distracted you enough with cute happy thoughts for long enough.

Then there is Millenaire mod, something to which you could gravitate towards. The more you would help them out, the more they helped you out in return.

It helps make things "less lonely", though it does distract long enough you have something to earn, work for, and connect with. You gain attachment to both LittleMaidsMod, and even to the settlers in Millenaire mod. You sadly can't show off your builds to them, though they'll proudly show theirs to you. The more you aid those in Millenaire the more you'll be appreciated by those there, even if it's scripted.

Because Rising World competes with Minecraft on a sandbox openworld nature it has the same flaws and concerns to worry about as Minecraft.

How to solve this?

1 - Friends need to be more friendly.

2 - NPCs need to evolve to be more aware of their surroundings (View 'Dragon Quest Builder 1' & '2'.). Being able to acknowledge both you and their surroundings would help vastly in the immersion.

3 - Artifical Girl, Artifical Academy, & any "self-awareness" games with NPCs able to tell what they're looking at, even if staged by scripting & prompts.

4 - Add in proper humanoid NPC Entities

Bonus:

1 - Allow NPCs to use imported models, as done via Tower Unite & VRChat SDK.

2 - The said NPCs need to function in the world they're apart of (view "how to solve this, Part 2", above).

3 - Would help if NPCs could read pre-determined prompts on signs, body gestures, etc to know what's going on around them (basic conversation & communication).

4 - Saving, hiring, or befriending an NPC fully should give you their full attention. They should eventually be personalized to your own playstyle with enough trust and etc (or overwritten by external imported models).

5 - Ignoring NPC companions, simply have Millenaire-styled settlements sparsely dotted in the world. Not obnoxiously, though still fairly rare giving proper rest, refuge, and desired social interaction to a wary traveler. A home away from home.

Still lonely, yet less lonely. At least you have SOME mental distractions to keep you deflected long enough to simply care for NPCs instead of longing for external companionship. Maybe the weight of an empty world shall be so vast to the point even an NPC's presence will eventually be outweighed by the crushing deep loneliness of seeking social interaction.

Similar to what I was thinking (even being a natural social outcast; Introvert) I already knew people enjoyed being in fake "social-cliques" preventing others from being in their social circles. Rising World has this, as does every community and social circle. People are still social, yet people still have that desire to share and converse with folks. Even sharing their builds in public spaces. Without social interactions we die as individuals, even resenting the world which falsely denies us the basics; Basic social interaction over fake nonsense and artificial barriers.

I've felt this loneliness when I hosted a Java-Rising World Christmas celebration in my world. In the spawn city I spent a decent amount of time making gift boxes, placed them in my park's tree decoration, even noting to people we would be celebrating Crhistmas. All but 1 person decided to join leaving my Rising World Java world lonely and empty. People ghosted me. What's the point if people are going to be 'MIA'. Might as well allow me to befriend my own NPC Companions, those of whom I can eventually mold into my own style, doing things I need them to do. Saving them from pirates to befriend them, have them enter combat (general fighting), farm, cut trees, building structures via blue-prints, admiring my builds, etc. Just having a wind-down moment in a cafeteria with them even sitting in the chair of their own accord. That would be glorious. Beats playing in a ghost-like server, especially those which die from lack of interest.

- Is Minecraft Depressing For Someone Else?
(I made a fancy build, nobody to admire it.)

What's the point of making something (in singleplayer) if nobody is going to view it? Even multiplayer, prone to ghosting and lack-of-participation? Both Minecraft & Rising World are the same, and especially with social-clique alienation, solo-playing, etc. No NPCs to even admire your builds , no NPCs to admire your food or creations, no random banter, etc. It's (both Minecraft & Rising World) a lonely, depressing world. There are no entities to interact or feedback with. It's just you, the pets (in Minecraft), or other NPCs/Animals in Rising World. Nothing is intelligent enough in these sandbox games in the manner of Starbound, Dragon's Dogma, Dragon Quest Builder 1 & 2, or Skyrim. Granted, they're different genres of games, though the point stands on their follower-Companion side of things.

We need "SOME" social interaction to stay healthy, motivated, and to keep pushing ourselves. If you still think - "but join a multiplayer server" - then you're still missing the point. You even missed the point even servers can be ghost realms. Still lonely, scary, and spooky. Think about it, especially on a real-world manner. You're asking someone to reject reality to simply talk to people on the moon (or let's say a next country over), not in their personal vicinity.

People are social creatures. They need some social interaction, even if it's a fake one in video games. Pets do help, humanoid NPC companions would help even further.

I'm sorry for how much I pestered Red51 to add them into Rising World, I however request this especially thanks to the void Minecraft initially created. I'm mentioning this because the video popped up on my feed, even echoing my already-noted sentiments. We 100% NEED NPC Companions in both Minecraft AND Rising World. We need social interaction, something to which Red51 unknowingly noted via settlements, factions, and hiring of NPCs. We, sadly, however need more personal additions to stick with a person's side through-and-through. Something deeper, similar to Skyrim's 'Followers', and Dragon Dogma's 'Pawns'. It's not perfect, though it is a solution.

Yeah, and this explains why people in the Rising World community also voiced their dissatisfaction with Minecraft. It's not Minecraft anymore, it's an RPG game, and not a sandbox as people have known it.

I already said it, but people also agree that games need more "for fun" features instead of "realism". Granted, Rising World does have realism, but it also has goofy masks, Purple Milka cows, and a rubber duckie for the whole fun of it. Red51 needs to keep this up, or else he'll even lose Rising World in a similar fashion to how Mojang is losing Minecraft.

The video author noted how nobody asked for cherry blossoms. I had, since 2013, as promised by developers back then. It was promised for 1.8 update - The Update That Changed The World. I was pained not having that update.

I think a big problem withe updates is that mojang is prioritizing realism so fun ideas are not considered or features are scraped because of it and for some reasone everthing needs to have a niche use That most people aren’t gonna use

Yeah, it's like the whole Creeper situation all over again. If it was suggested now nobody would desire them. I mean, look at what people had done to me on Steam Forums when I requested 'Mounted Moose', even if Asian games (Nier Automata) added them in by having to do a trick. People are too concerned over fake realism they can't even have fun anymore. They resort to trolling, and Mojang even resorts to now ignoring anything similar to Creepers.

Great video, but you were SO close to what I personally feel is wrong with the game rn lol. For me, it’s not that the game had nothing but intrinsic motivators, it’s more like there were very simple basic extrinsic motivators that push players to creatively solve their problems. Building homes, mining, making safe ways to move around, all of it starts as something you need to do, but eventually becomes something you want to do for fun, and even start to get super creative with. It pushed you to engage with the gameplay loop until you were immersed in it and dong it because you wanted to. Now, the gameplay loop has deteriorated as there’s really no need to do anything the game has at all while still being able to build these mega builds, and what’s really the purpose of survival at that point when creative mode is essentially the same thing besides the copy pasted from YouTube resource farms, the strip mining, and the trading halls?

People lost their creative edge. The game now plays itself to the point players don't feel motivated to build anything on their end. Granted, I've also personally conversed with people who are simply creatively bankrupt they rather play a boring linear game over a creative game. Players had to indeed solve their housing issues, their resource issues, and even make supply lanes. I've done this, people hated me in the RW community for building roads, yet it had to be done.

"BUT I DON"T WANT TO BUILD ROADS!"

THEN BUGGER OFF! I'll do what I want and I'll build roads to safely and correctly move my resources around. It's the smart thing to do!

I digress. I agree, old Minecraft pushed you out of your comfort zone to build in your own style, not in fake styles. People sadly play in Peaceful mode being unable to build in a neat "supply and demand" manner missing a meat of the game (battle of attrition gameplay), something both Minecraft & Rising World heavily rely on as a game. Nothing wrong with Peaceful, though people miss out on the core of a gameplay then complain a game is empty.

Survival mode is where the fun and creativity is at. It's what keeps your brain healthy by making you constantly guage what to do next. It's like a strategy game keeping your mind healthily wired while prioritizing your situations, hostile and structure projects.

it's also worth mentioning that minecraft nowadays is soooo poorly optimizied. you used to be able to run it on a potato, now you need a decent pc to enjoy it fully.

That's where MineTest comes in, even if it's a branched off side-experiment going off in an "what-if non-corporation" pathway. Sadly, even Rising World is a bloated game (in terms of software, not gameplay), something you need to keep the Steam Deck tethered to even play Rising World on the go, or risk the device to power off.

Ok I'm gonna be real, games that listen to feedback are way too enjoyable because this applies to youtubers and etc, but Minecraft just forgot what it actually was.

I agree, Minecraft genuinely forgot what it was, hence why I also made this thread sharing videos noting this. Minecraft genuinely has lost its identity.

It used to be a sandboxy blocky game, now it's trying to be everything, and the RPG Kitchen sink included into the mix. Dont' get me wrong, I genuinely enjoy Cherry Blossoms, and other fun features, it however lost that appeal to me. It feels like a poorly made AAA game pretending to be an indie game, not an indie game at all.

Minecraft was supposed to be a place you told YOUR story, not Minecraft's story. It's your canvas, yet they're injecting their perspective over your own. You don't matter.

One thing I have a gripe with is how Minecraft just feels..bloated. I like new content don't get me wrong but after the nether update ( in my opinion) updates felt bloated, uninspired, loaded with filler, removed features people wanted, and made for s pay check, not with passion. I'd even argue that last point has been a constant issue for all updates since the Microsoft acquisition.

I agree. Minecraft simply feels aimless and lost. It doesn't even do the whole "for fun" feature, though it does add random features for the sake of it. It's not even balanced. It may be somewhat worthwhile, though not what it could be.

The problem comes down to corporate bloating, forum users punishing genuine POVs (internal sabotage), and simply missing the whole plot of the game. Rising World also seem to suffer this ailment in regards to my various suggesting (mainly mounted Moose & automated instruments) to which people simply forget about the whole "For fun, yet balanced" elements.

Or when I request Canadians in WW2 naval games, also viewing games like Silent Hunter 3 and IL-2 Sturmovik having Canadians, Slovak, and other "minor nations" simply because they were present. People forgot how to have fun, let alone how to make things accessible. Then you wonder why Asian games (previously from Traditional European avenues) are superior, yet still sabotaged by the overly prudish and monotoned-minded Reddit twats.

1.7.3 was the peak of Minecraft all the updates after that were lacking especially the aquatic and the nether's

The major update which holds nostalgic vibes to me was 1.7.2, formally 1.8, or so I recall. The updates went through 1.8 twice, this one adding new biomes, mineshafts, jungles, more trees, and was supposed to have Cherry Blossoms in that update, not in the later update (1.20 Java & Bedrock version). It was initially teased to release from 2013, only added a decade later. That's painful, and it hurts. I would have lined my Arcticu City with it.

https://minecraft.fandom.com/w…te_that_Changed_the_World

(1.7.2, formally known as 1.8 to me, as teased by Notch.)

Alas, it wasn't meant to be. Maybe Rising World will allow me to play with Cherry Blossoms?

Maybe 1.7.3 was indeed the final best update for Minecraft before everything simply died off, with special thanks to MIcrosoft's idiocy.

https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Cherry

Once Notch was aliented, bullied, and treated like a villain that's when Minecraft died for me. I tried getting back to it, just wasn't the same. I admired the new changes, and the foxes, it however wasn't done properly. Even other people constantly lost interest. I lost interest, with help from other people.

Just no fun allowed. Screw our fun........

I think another reason why Minecraft isn't as fun as before is because of how extremely compact everything is, both in gameplay progression and in structure generations.

In older versions, everything felt rare and it wasn't common to find a village, nether fortress, or a stronghold. You have to create your base or even a large kindgom for yourself in the older versions. You could choose to be a nomad or a master of the world. Everything had value, and because everything was rare and pretty sparse, you could explore and find beautiful places with interesting loot.
Nowadays, that isn't really common. If you travel a few hundred blocks or a thousand, you can probably find a village next to a village next to another village. Same goes for shipwrecks, monuments, and more locations.

As noted previously, everything was done by YOUR hands. You, yourself. You decorated the stage. Even with mods, such as the Mining turtle, extra biomes, Traincraft, etc, everything was still neutral to you. Millenaire mod even kept the game neutral and non-invasive.

Are you a nomad, or a settler?

Everything is indeed far too common.

I'm done.

Quote from Desmagu

It's an interesting town. I also can wait for trains and have them already planned in my town. I don't want to tear buildings down later due to bad planning.

Thank you!

I can't wait to continue fleshing out my city with some planned towers and other builds, while also going back to polish up my pre-existing structures at the very same time. I even desire to rebuild my 'Arcticu Tower' I usually build in every other game. I think I know where to put that (behind the Busou Shinki Tower & Blue tower). Granted, I still may do some "haste builds" during that time.

Yeah, tearing down buildings is a pain so I may have to make some quick modifications to make it quick-building friendly just to complete only the paper building.

And yeah, my hype for trains is 100% real, and a nasty itch. Whatever train I'm given I'll make full use out of. Hope we both, and others, can have tons of fun with trains! CHOO!~ CHOO!~

Also, as noted in my video (near the end) I made note of how I'm switching my perspectives from API modding to simply hyping up trains because of how we can connect with trains more than we do with API. I've butted heads with people so much that there is tension. I desire to ease that nonsense by simply switching back to hyping up trains instead for it's universal appreciation.

Now to see what I should make a video of next.

Rising World - Vathunver Tour & Admiration of RW:

A 13 minute video showing off the current state of Vathunver while also noting why I admire Rising World. Of course, contains the negatives because one must stay honest and grounded to reality to keep moving forward. Rising World has growing pains, and it shows. Modding, survival, complexities of Rising World, etc. Can't wait to add more structures and elements into my main city, and even have future features compliment Rising World in the future with each and every update. I swiftly noted what I desired to do, and where.

(Disclaimer: I genuinely don't mean any harm, I'm however noting what I've experienced, that's all. Steam forums has a nasty clown award habit needing to be fixed, and ban threats, etc. I simply noted things in neutrality.)

- Thumbnail for new video.

(Wasted so many hours rendering the video. Failed 3 times, worked on 5th on newer version.)

I shall be making more in this format, hopefully in the new delayed update.

I'm already losing tabs so I'm only posting these because relevant to the thread, etc. Sorry if people consider this spam, it's however now noted as relevant thanks to the things discussed in previous postings.

- Something about a "toxic community", though Reddit itself leans toxic Liberal so it could mean anything.

Reddit is a cesspool of filth so it means nothing.

Yeah, to me these are genuinely Non-issues.

*shrugs*. Has some wise words that people are human, and they have their quirks. People need to learn how to deal with them instead of villainizing everything.

I would be a rare manager that hasn’t had to deal with arrogant but talented programmers.

People are individuals, and individuals have flaws and quirks. Part of being a good leader is to work with those flaws when they cause problems. Another perhaps more important part of management is motivating your team. Different individuals need different motivation.

When it comes to arrogance, a good manager can often address that by appealing to their self confidence. Pile on work, exceptionally difficult work, accept nothing but the best. Appeal to their pride. Lavish praise when they deliver, and then pile on even more. My best workers have almost always have a healthy streak of self-esteem. Handled rightly an arrogant developer can be incredibly productive and have too much work on their plate to have time to annoy anyone else.

Of course if arrogance turns to abusing others then that needs to be dealt with as a disciplinary action, but often it doesn’t come to that.

Appeal to their pride.

If you know how to do so properly then appeal to it so you can have them be productive. All people want is validation (people are social creatures) so people need to learn how to validate others and themselves instead of clown-awarding on Steam, etc. Or scaring developers off of Steam Forums (Blockscape Steam forums) to which they solely update on Twitter/X, and other social media platforms, etc. Just be nice and maybe poke respectfully on people's pride.

I guess every place has its fair share of nonsense and stupidity so no place is perfect. Every place is a mix-mash of quirks and weirdness making even the alleged "best community" a figment of one's imagination. Lipstick on a pig, as the saying goes.

The Best Minecraft Feature that Was Removed From the Game (Indev version):

Various floating islands, Isometric map making (in engine), and some other neat little charms.

This would be awesome for Rising World, even in a proposed basic manner. Having a floating island realm (a fantasy biome) would be glorious. Red51 desired it, this would be a good way to do it. A fantasy floating island.

MineTest - Wool:

MineTest does the modded, and maybe Rising World way of getting "wool" via Cotton plants! Nice! I prefer plant based ways of obtaining cotton.

I didn't have time for anything lately, though may play more MineTest when I feel too stressed out for anything else. I"ve been on edge lately so I'll see about relaxing to more fun MineTest amusements, and that is genuinely all I care about. I wonder what else is hiding in the vanilla side of things. It may not be a game (MineTest), I will however treat it as such.

I have to do something while waiting for two indie games to update, one being Rising World, and another being Roshutsu, a R18 game. Indie games are fun. .

I genuinely didn't want to post, it however turned out that way with things popping up in my feed this way needing to be shared to those who are curious. I'll try to be more "hush-hush" now. Can't promise anything, but I'll try. *shrugs*.

What's new?? I didn't find any "changelog"

Nothing. Steam doing its usual database updates, graphic updates, etc.

You'll know if Rising World had an update when an announcement-banner was visible prior, and up to an update. Red51 still appears to be busy with Rising World so it'll be a long while longer.

*shrugs*

Addition - in the latest versions (5.x.x) this is V, F6 is now a debug menu. There is also a config file where you can define custom key, it should be also available in the GUI. You also need permissions to use it, not all games provide it by default. The command for permission is /grantme all

Noted.

There are many examples of delayed games that were bad after release - Cube World, Blockscape, 7DtD and so on. There are also many examples of games that were released fast and they became legends, like Minecraft itself (only a week between dev start and first public demo)

I'll let you have this. Going to add a few bits to this.

Prior to me joining Rising World and Blockscape I was debating (comparing the two) which one would allow me to have NPC companions over the other. Rising World's initial appearance (Java) was intimidating. I was afraid to be here, yet eventually wiggled my way in here. Got yelled at by Red51 for accidentally making 2 manhole cover reports. I eventually playtested Blockscape fiding it neat, if obviously lacking.

1) For Cube World the assumption is the developer desired to hastily tie up some loose ends. That's my assumption, and mine only.

2) Blockscape was "decent" when I last tried it, the developer however chickened out. They became far too scared of their Steam forums community they kept themselves holed up. A few Rising World members on the Steam forum side went over to try and comfort the developer, even telling them it's perfectly fine to post on their Steam forum. Every update (at the time) was posted via Twitter, and only on Twitter. I'm hoping and praying Red51 doesn't make the same mistakes as the Blockscape developer when it comes to fear and intimidation. I hope he implements features naturally, or even via mod.io, and other avenues.

3) 7 Days 2 Die is anti-player & anti-base making. You're not allowed to make bases to defend yourself. I agree, this game is trash once the 7th day appears and and goes on to be even more corrupted and moronic. The initial idea is great, the execution and anti-player updates upon updates ruins everything. I agree with the tip to turn off the 7 day hoards to simply play with survival attrition on its own.

As for any other games having been delayed more or less helped, though sadly not with recent Pokemon games. They sadly fell victim to political corruption, as seen with Violet and Scarlet. Japanese players were LIVID.

Yeah, I'll let you have this one.

There is a huge difference between company with almost infinity budget and with two-dev indie studio with one game. When you are a company you can afford fails, when you are indie - not. Companies like Bethesda can make 3-4 "Starfield-like" games at once and stay fine, while any mistake for indie dev will result with game death. Look what happened to Stellar Overload - wrong decisions just finished with bankrupt company. Red and the team just can't allow themselves to make mistakes in development, or at least not major mistakes

Indie games thrive on being unique and "breaking the mold". They even thrive on being actually genuinely playable, feature-rich, and with their own fun gimmicks. Sure, they aren't perfect but at least they are supported for whatever features they implement. Scanner Sombre is one of them having added a tacked on VR Mode, yet people LOVE it.

Subnautica developers made a whiny and idiotic excuse (or excuses; plural) how they can't add in co-op mode (even though they initially desired it), or cowardly chickened out on co-op mode. Players desire both yet the developers became giant cowards by throwing their consumers under the bus. Find someone who knows how to work with VR mode then, and with co-op. Hire modders who'll do it for you. Modders would be more than happy to help out. They would be proud and glad.

If there is a will, there is always a way.

I genuinely understand funding and support though. I get it, you only have so much fund to allocate to various areas, but making excuses as to why something can't be done (even through an essay, or a novel) just doesn't work. I genuinely admire (or maybe admired) how Japanese indie game developers simply added features just because they could, and when they couldn't they openly said it. None of this round-about around the bush manner.

If it's fun, and if it's balanced, it'll find its way into a game.

AAA games make trashy games (able to afford it) and then people simply play indie games. Granted, there are those who are also lazy playing mainstream games because they intentionally lowered themselves down to that standard.

Yeah, indie developers do win when they make certain proper mistakes though.
