I'm still banned on Steam because of Steam Support Censorship, unable to comment where I would desire to. I attempted to send another ticket, they gave me help which I can't do while banned. They basically told me to go "F*#@ myself". Morons. I'm still lurking on Steam, but I do see what people say. I'm still disappointed in some people in how they keep passing over certain information Red51 himself noted time and again, still confused on many topics and features.
(This above image from Azur Lane sums up my reaction to Steam Support's nonsense, and some Rising World's weird drama.)
Why the confusion on Rising World? Red51 had a JAVA roadmap noting he desired to have us "progress throughout the ages", yet people can't seem to comprehend that. Can't comprehend simple progression and 'placeholder' logic. They note things like 'IKEA', or some weird nonsense. Everything is a placeholder, and Red51 clearly said this on numerous occasions. it's baffling to me as to why people can't comprehend something as simple as "age progression".
1) Red51 is still making the game.
2) Everything is a place holder. (Not everything is final)
3) We're allegedly supposed to progress from Caveman>Medieval era>Modern>2000 Modern
(Maybe not double modern [1900 into 2000's], though it be interesting to do it as such).
4) Everything is supposed to tech up in the way you would in games like 'Rise of Nations', or even 'Civilization' games.
Why the rubber duckies? You're allowed Eastereggs and some fun. That's why Anime and Asian games (Japanese, and now Chinese) games do so well. They know how to have fun. Such as riding a Moose in Nier: Automata, even though it's difficult.
People need to stop being debbie downers while also needing to learn how to have fun.
Yes, you can stupidly make your way to the "end game", it's however stupid noting that when Rising World is an open-world game still being rebuilt from the ground up.
"Don't mind Arcticu, he's being cranky".
Gee, I wonder why. Not allowed to have fun anymore. Everything always has to be my fault, yet people keep failing to look at common information. Red51 himself clearly stated many times he desired to have the game progress from one age to the next. I mean, look at this follow-up response.
1) Bronze and Bronze tools is something he genuinely desires to take into consideration, yet is on the wary side.
2) Red51 would have given us bronze (like in Java), yet fears we may have rioted because we're always so mouthy.
(I would have stockpiled on copper and tin knowing it would have gained uses in the future. I'm doing that with iron for future railway projects.)
3) Red51 desires proper progression via tools and recipes, even if we keep complaining while the game is in Early Access/being remade into Unity.
3.1) Allegedly the more you use a certain tool the more you'll be able to unlock a future tool, item, or similar?
4) All the recipes have been reworked, even put into its own unlocking conditions to be progressed with. Won't be available in this coming update, more in the later updates.
5) Branches shall spawn more frequently in the wild, though will still be somewhat difficult. Primitive axe being debated on being removed from player (re)spawning.
6) Ore spawn rates shall be eventually reduced once caves are a thing (as noted previously).
7) Gems are on Red51's to-do list. He'll also implement them once Merchants become a thing.
Adding diamonds to drill recipies is on his to-do list.
8.1) People are mixed on more complicated recipies while equally loving the realistic complexities. It's a double edged sword.
-------------
In short:
Search up 'Rise of Nations', or even 'Civilization' games in how you tech up there. You start off as a caveman type person, then you progress into Medieval, Colonial, 1920-40 tech, and then into various stages of modern tech. Red51 may simplify this into a few stages, though he also desired to allow us to lock ourselves into Medieval Era, and even into Modern era technology. Maybe even a sub-era.
Bronze, bronze tools, and tin are a thing, Red51 is however wary. He should add them in regardless, whenever he's able to. The more he gives into the rioting mob the more they'll feel like they can get away with doing harm to his game.
I'm sure people shall ignore this, especially seeing as how it's coming from me because everything always has to be my fault in this community. *sighs*
The game indeed uses some stock models, although we created most models ourselves (or hired a freelancer artist back then). When it comes to coding or any game behaviour, we don't use any assets at all - everything is created from scratch. In fact assets which have any behaviour (like the motor boat you've mentioned) wouldn't work in RW anyway, because RW is built in a server-authoritative way (i.e. a multiplayer game where the server makes all decisions). Basically the typical simplistic "scripting" way in Unity (using so called MonoBehaviours) is bad anyway (that's why Unity decided to move away from it and created DOTS back then, although progress is extremely slow there and it's barely production ready), so RW is created differently (RW doesn't use DOTS, but it's built in a similar way).
I'll share the link once I get your approval (public or DM wise).
