    December 17, 2023 - Counting down to Christmas:

    Still sleepy tired, yet almost at the Rising World playing mark (Monday & Tuesday). Shall see if, and what I manage.


       


       


       



    My favourite from the batch? This one.



    Look at the cape. It reminds me of Slovakia, the more traditional side of Slovakia. It's like a mix between Canada & Slovakia and I love it. I love how I can connect with stuff even if it's generic AI art. :nerd:


    Merry Christmas! :party:

    December 16, 2023 - Counting down to Christmas:

    Tired. Sleepy...... Is it Monday or Tuesday yet? No. Ok. More AI art then.


       


       


       



    Yeah, you know the drill. Throughout these days they indeed do miss their warship rigging attachments (Bing is stupid) so you only get the human side, the cape, and the festivities. The focus is indeed festivities, but being a Canadian I have to hype it up with a mixture of everything. It fills in various voids. That, and Krampus. I'm actually kind of relieved you had politically moronic individuals blaming the wrong group allowing me the chance to mix Krampus in with something else. Experimentation and curiousity. Turning other people's stupidity into content.


    Merry Christmas! :party:

    December 15, 2023 - Counting down to Christmas:

    Almost there. One week and a few days left until I can let this thread go. Need to stay festive. :party:


    You know the drill.
    (Azur Lane Canadian shipgirls in Ottawa with Krampus in the background.)


       


       


       



    Krampus is spooky, yet awesome. I love how some of the girls have some neat cool appearances, especially some overly smug expressions, while others are "softer". I found a new prompt to play with, maybe I'll continue sharing those.


    I'll soon have time to play more Rising World next week to set up swiftly for Christmas. See you then on Monday & Tuesday. You'll see more Rising World stuff on my end then, and more on December 31st once Steam decides to unban me over their own idiocies and censorship.


    Once again, Merry Christmas! Yes, even to Red51. Stay festive! :party:

    December 14, 2023 - Counting down to Christmas.



    :crazy::party:


    Merry Padoru Christmas!

    (Anime joke)



    -----------


    Or, you can have an Anime Macross music track portrayed during Christmas.


    "Do you remember love?" - Macross (English Cover):




    December 13, 2023 - Counting down to Christmas.

    Busy, busy. Always busy.


       


       


    Just some bonus images from previous day of Azur Lane shipgirls exploring Ottawa during Christmas. Oh, and Krampus. I had to specify how I desired to see Krampus. Bing AI added a new stupid ToS if a term is flagged too many times they may revoke your access. Microsoft now sucks more and more each year, as they horribly do with Flight Sim and Microsoft, etc. Everything is Microsoft's fault.


    I have to stay focused and festive. I need to stay happy.


    Merry Christmas! :party:

    No, actually we don't even have this asset pack (if you take a close look at the blueprint [hard to tell from the images], it looks a bit different) ^^

    Alright, cool. It's genuinely a non-issue so I'll let it go now.



    If you want to load it through the Plugin API, feel free to create a new post in the API section, or if it's not related to the API, you may just create a post in the general section (or create a post here or send me a DM) ;)

    Actually I really do want to load the new model (vehicle) into Rising World via Plugin API but it requires everything I'm not currently familiar with. Having it (and the HMCS Haida vessel I shared earlier) is noted as being incompatible for Rising World use (nobody wants to help either; Stupid grudges) so I'll wait for when the next update drops to make threads. I'll do as you suggested (when time allows).


    I'll send you a DM then and see what you say there. I'll then make one or two appropriate threads dedicated to them hoping "something" is done, especially for the health and benefit of Rising World.


    Thanks. :monocle::thumbup:

    Red51 has more words to say, and it's important that people listen to both Red51 just as much as they do to me. I'm not allegedly "antagonizing", Red51 HIMSELF noted he's having issues. If you desire to have Rising World live then someone has to help me out through and through. At least ONE plugin request (from others, as well as from myself). I'll make more to see who shall take the bait, but someone has to finally cave in for the benefit of Rising World and Red51.


    Here is what he has to say.



    Red51 is risking it all for his 1.0 update, and people need to actually pull through this time. I know people want to say they'll do "this" and "that", people need to actually do whatever they can. Skyrim keeps being noted as being a mod-haven, let's do the same for Rising World (or at least as much as I can). If we can do something, we should try our best to do something. Even give me the tools to do something, I'll fill the voids on my own if I have to (provided I have the tools).


    My god, Rising World is seeing difficulties. Sure, Rising World shall update going forward, maybe slowly. I'm sure Rising World shall do better with each update, but someone has to help me out with other people's requests, (as well as my own) requests to which it also helps out Rising World in return. Less idling, more helping. I'm doing all I can on my end as well between other stuff. I'm trying to get people on board on Rising World, they however sadly view it as a 'niche' game.


    People also desire to wage wars instead of supporting Rising World. Shame. :wacko:


    I'll do what I can during my free time. :monocle:

    December 12, 2023 - Counting down to Christmas.

    Tired, yet trying to keep up the best I can. Busy, busy.


    More Bing AI 'Azur Lane Canadian Christmas Art', but with Hokkaido, Japan attempts.


       


       


    Too Canadian? Let's just say Bing AI images failed injecting Christmas themes into the images above. Pretend you're seeing Christmas decorations lining the streets, the mountains, and the girls wearing more festive outfits (as noted previously). Just pretend it's Christmas. Also, I'll openly admit I'm also sharing these Canadian images also in spite of lazy WW2 game developers always afraid of Canadians.


    ----------


    As for today's batch (Christmas in Ottawa, again).


       



    I'm sharing the better quality results from what Bing AI decided to generate. I've generated so much I had to get picky, and this is what my pickiness has chosen. I even snuck in Krampus in the Ottawa AI images. It's a must! :monocle:


    Having a festive Ottawa (with neglected military Canadians) is an interesting way to fill in voids. I've tackled Ottawa, attempted with Bratislava, and even experimented with Hokkaido (Japan), returning to Ottawa. Maybe I'll try again to see if the AI has improved at a later date.


    ---------


    that's interesting, i just saw a krampus "show" in italian alps.

    However, i can't find any update post from red, i knew it reading discord, but where is it on the forum?

    Nice! Krampus on Italian Alps? Probably what I'm referring to in my previous post, yet decided to "censor" it. Lost the thing now.


    As for the update? I did link it previous.


    RE: Game finished


    Click that link and you'll see a Rising World is almost upon us with the update happening anytime between December 20th to December 31st, 2023. Why 20th, not earlier? Red51 always give a heads up prior to releasing. When Rising World updates may also release in parallel with another indie game of the R18 variety. Shall be interesting to try to play those games one at a time (to juggle them). :nerd:



    Merry Christmas! :party:

    Actually we're not using any assets from that pack :D 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).


    About the textures, the Java version indeed used many textures from textures.com ^^ The new version has more complex PBR materials so we mostly used different sources for that^^

    Not even the blueprint one eh? Surprised. That's the only one I pointed out, and not even that was used? Interesting. Java one does make sense, but the Unity comparison has me slightly stumped, but I'll take the correction.


    I'm glad everything you created is from scratch, more pride that way. Motor boat wouldn't work? That's fine. No problem.


    I'm glad Rising World is moving forward with fresher assets. For the record, I'm not jabbing at you (as others may imply, or have implied), I just simply saw familiar assets while finding how neat Rising World and Japanese modding/dev community both are. You live and learn. :monocle:


    I have one asset I'm curious would work in Rising World, would it be fine if I link it to get your feedback on it, or should I DM you it instead? I would love to see a boat imported (somehow), yet need your feedback on it. :?: I'll share the link once I get your approval (public or DM wise).

    December 11, 2023 - Counting down to Christmas.

    As previously, shall attempt to keep this short and brief.


    More Krampus exploring Bratislava Slovakia (Christmas themed).


       


    It's getting closer. :)


    More Azur Lane/KanColle Canadian shipgirls in what's supposed to be Bratislava, Slovakia. (AI Art)


       


       



    If people are STILL needlessly confused about why I'm doing this, it's to stay festive. There has been so much negativity that I'm simply trying to add more positivity. If people still falsely view my posts as "spam", or have negative ill wills then they should go apologize to Krampus. We're in the month of December, and even Steam Support needs to apologize profusely for their crimes. We're in December.


    What do I want for Christmas?

    - Rising World update

    - People to actually accept my API requests to the full benefit of Rising World instead of holding childish and moronic grudges against me. It's for Rising World, do it for Rising World's health and popularity. 1 or more of my requests to be appropriately accomplished without half-assing anything.

    - Canadian shipgirls in Azur Lane and/or KanColle.

    - Proper sanity in people (none of the fake crap nonsense people keep spewing, or baiting me in my own ex-Rising World Discord group, etc; No bullying).

    - Less derogatory comments from people.

    - (Among other things I desire to mention, yet shall go over people's heads relating to other hobby-related stuff.)


    So, Merry Christmas! :party:

    December 10, 2023 - Counting down to Christmas.


    Simple one today (or tonight). Just enjoy some creepy awesome Krampus. Basically Krampus AI art in Bratislava, Slovakia, or should be.


       


       


     


    Let's just say I also know who Krampus shall visit from these forums and Steam forums ;). Also, the last one (which was originally first) even spooked me the first time I seen it. Caught me off guard the first time around. I wasn't expecting Bing AI to form creepy versions. :dizzy:


    - Merry Christmas! :party:

    December 9, 2023 - Counting down to Christmas.


    Need to stay festive. Need to stay festive! Remember my December 5th post? No? Go look at it, or go see what it's about. Twitter/X tried going fake political on it with the whole fake 'Woke Right' on it when allegedly attempting to blame anti-Krampus nonsense on political nonsense. Not having it. But hey, at least we can admire some Krampus goodies. I'm happy the nonsense at least reminded me of the forgotten goodies hidden in Traditional Europe. Need to keep focusing on tradition, it's where the good stuff is hidden.


    December 5th is awesome, it needs more love and attention. I hope Red51 finds a way to pay homage to it in some manner or another. Sinterklaas day is awesome and needs to stay away from the morally corrupted individuals.


     

     


    ------


    Then we have more lovely Bing AI art.


    Rising World? Busy. I have no time now. All my projects stalled out.


    More lovely Canadian Azur Lane shipgirl AI art.


     


     


     


    I'm amused I managed to sneak out one NSFW content, yet still SFW. Bing AI doesn't allow NSFW to be generated, yet it still allowed one. I tried to nudge Bing AI to make it more festive, something it eventually managed to do. Just think Christmas thoughts. Think festivities! :nerd:


    Once again (till Christmas; Dec 25th), Merry Christmas! :party:

    December 8, 2023 - Counting down to Christmas.

    Sorry, feeling a bit under the weather and depressed today (to the delight of a few people on here). I'll still share what I promised in the previous post.


    As noted, I genuinely desired to share the "best" batch, meaning some AI art relating to Azur Lane/KanColle, Canadian theme, Aircraft Carrier, and some red outfits. The red gloves.


       


       



    So, which one? The last four images; The third from the end (last row, second image).


    I simply admire the cute charm. :monocle:


    Then there's some neat VRChat images of Shibuya-Harajuku, a place I loosely visited by being a stone's throw away in real world, yet shall be able to properly later on my next trip. Happy to see it in VRChat.





    Let's just say I was a stone's throw away from that location. A good stamp rally doesn't hurt anyone. :nerd:


    Rising World news? None. I'm tired, exhausted, burnt out, and I'm waiting for the next update. I'm willing to bet Red51 is going to do a last minute update, as per usual.


    Either way, Merry Christmas! :party:

    December 7, 2023 - Counting down to Christmas.


    Managed to gain an Anime-high in my excitement today. It's always great having a form of escapism to cheer you up after some let-downs, negativity, and all the other weirdness going on in the world. VRChat made me happy, and more so with what I'm about to share.


    - Nissin Cup Noodle - You don't get much wholesomeness these days, wholesomeness is banned by bored internet activists. Loving the fox girl's softness and cuteness. "Your ears don't lie":love:



    - Azur Lane Christmas festive shipgirls next to their Aircraft carrier.

       

       

       



    Canadians used to have 3 aircraft carriers at three different times. Simply desiring to bring back that mood, and for Rising World as well. If I can have a British designed aircraft carrier (or import it) into Rising World I would happily do so. If I would attempt to build one it would be botched so heavily it would be a laughing stock and an eye sore.


    Canadians used to have HMCS Magnificent, HMCS Warrior, and HMCS Bonaventure.


    Seeing the AI attempt to give the girls a lovely Canadian cape (sometimes mixed with Christmas) gives interesting results. Various Canadian emblems placed in various places.


    I haven't even shared the best AI art batch. I'll have to save it for Day 8, and even with the VRChat stuff (if allowed to share). If you folks desire to share some actual Christmas festivities you're welcome to interject here and there. Keep it Christmas and festive. :saint:


    -----------

    You should try doing it with just pickaxe :lol:


    Merry Yule tide!

    Was watching my poor friend struggle with the pickaxe while I melted the stone away. I felt bad for him, even going out of my way to make a drill for him. We both melted the stone away after that.


    I also used various forms of pickaxes on different piles of stone in three different areas many months back and prior to all this. Painful. I can see why people were so frustrated on the main forums. I still have to deal with it. We even briefly conversed how we desired Minecraft's Redstone Computercraft stuff (basically the Turtle gadget) to help with mining. if I can have NPCs to deal with this I wouldn't have to ask for help ever again, only from NPCs. 8)


    I came across another game which has a gimmick of a helper doing auto-crafting and maybe even mining for you - [Omega Crafter]. It be perfect for Rising World as a recruitable and loyal companion to you. I would love a personalized helper like that. We all would. :monocle:


    >>>Program your Grammi!
    Grammi’s actions can be easily programmed, allowing them to help you with tasks such as mining, logging, moving materials and crafting items. You can even program them to dance! What do you want to program the Grammi to do?<<<


    Merry Yule tide! :party:

    December 6, 2023 - Counting down to Christmas.

    I hope you guys are starting to feel overly festive. Not because of this thread, though partially. I'm talking more about Europe itself with how traditional and more rooted it is in traditionalism. It should be, especially in a Slovakian manner.


     


     


    And yes, more Bing AI with KanColle shipgirls in Canadian naval attire (WW2) touring Bratislava (Slovakia), or should be. Even trams.


    As for Rising World news:


    I finally had a friend finally answer my calls for help. One person joined, another threw a tantrum. I had a lovely help from a friend helping me clear out the terrain to build away. I finally have more plots of land. :party: I'll place more finalized images in the 'media presentation' subforum when the time is right. You'll see it there eventually (and on Steam once I'm unbanned Dec 31st. Steam Support is full of morons.).


    - Vathunver on the left and middle, and Port Pilipec on the right.



    - Quarter of the way through the digging. It was nearly touching the storage building.


    - Friend made me laugh with the mining helmet. Out of nowhere he made one (after I had made the drill for him).


    - Planning out the new pathways and side-streets.


    - Offices and paper mill type area. Paper and rags.



    This building shall be an awkwardly built office building based on some funky AI art. Desired a blue glass skyscraper, may still do so later. I also am now able to build a bakery tower, and even my own 'Arcticu Tower' structure more for myself. I finally have the freedom to build again with special thanks to friend. I'm also planning to build a little hangout area for Christmas Trees and pumpkins to be displayed. I'll get to it eventually. :wow:


    Like I said, more completed builds shall eventually be found later in my media presentation thread. 8)


    I'm tired from all the nonstop digging. :sleeping:


    Merry Christmas!:party:

    December 5nd, 2023 - Happy Sinterklaas Day!

    I'm sure Europeans know about it, but to any lurking non-Europeans could simply view it as a "mini-Christmas". Just place slippers under a window, fireplace, etc to receive small gifts from others. Instead of a tree it's simple footwear. There are also other traditional aspects tied to it, maybe such as being smacked in the rear end with a wooden braided rug smacker (or maybe I'm mixing up two festivities with one). It's all in good fun, and I view everything in a Slovakian point of view. It's noted to be Dutch, I however grew up with it in a Slovakian point of view.


    Every time I get angry with people it's because of my mixture of Slovakian proper etiquette and Canadian environment. When I see people undoing tradition (burping while eating) I get upset. People need standards and proper etiquette, something people themselves desire less of. Shame.


    None of my Canadians celebrate Sinterklaas Day so I simply gifted myself a few gifts, such as these new wireless earbuds. Also obtained slippers, HMDI cable, among other stuff. Simple small things. Even happily received a nice chunk of snow, something to which Montreal obtained 30 cm of snow. We obtained slightly less than them, here in Ottawa.



    All hail Bismarck!
    (I would proudly show my Canadian naval pride, I however am not allowed to be proudly Canadian. Nobody wants to add Canadians into their naval games, all except for Silent Hunter 3, a game about German Uboats. I'm still angrily awaiting for when Azur Lane and/or KanColle decide to add in Canadian shipgirls to either of the two games, and every other WW2 naval game. Canadians are trash to game developers and I 100% hate those lazy ass game developers. If you're offended by Bismarck then let me have my god damn Canadians. )


    KanColle (not Azur Lane) with HMS Warspite in her Santa outfit.


    She is an overly elegant and regal character with a soft, yet regal voice. Love her voice overs. Sadly, KanColle suffers from salty gameplay and region-blocking nonsense. Its better to play Azur lane than KanColle, especially for those with a soft heart.


    As for Rising World:

    I'm still adding small detailing before I post in my other main showcase thread. Trying to clear out more area so I can prepare for trains, and even build more skyscrapers. I'm trying to build a city, even if people annoying call my settlements "villages". I'll post more Rising World goodies later. Everything takes time on both Red51 and our building end. A simple process of creating furniture (in survival mode) takes ages.


    Some fun Bing AI fun:


    I managed to stump Bing AI this time around while trying to get it to draw some Canadian shipgirls in Slovakia, Bratislava. The more satisfactory results appear to be with trams.


     

        

     


    Out of the whole batch, this is my favourite.



    Roaming around while reading a map. A girl is even holding up a toy military boat. Sadly, you can't see any Canadian, nor Slovakian emblems. It "tried" to create Bratislava, it however became so highly confused adding every other landmark other than what it desired.

    As Red51 has noted on the Steam forum.......


    (Steam moderators and Steam support are anal so I can't leave any comments till Dec 31st. Morons.)



    - Red51 working on Biomes & caves

    - Ridable horses; Several new Animals, plants, items, and objects can be expected.

    - December 2023 release, or at least planned. No 2024 release, unless unexpected delays force it to be 2024. Red51 said 2023, it is 2023.

    - More regular updates once Unity surpasses Java's checkpoint.

    - Money is tight, please support Red51 however you can. Buy the game, make plugins, be genuinely supportive.


    So, yeah. Basically "soon".

    December 4nd, 2023 - Counting down to Christmas.

    We're now four days in making our way closer to Christmas. WOOO!~

    Steam Support stubbornly (doubled down on many levels) noting how I'm a worthless human being. I'm not allowed to post, nor do anything. Everything is my fault to people and Steam Support and I hate people for that. So disingenuous of them. They closed my ticket so you're stuck with me here, unless Red51 or someone else does something. I will however note moderators are asleep on here.


    My area has freezing rain and snow mix so that's fun. We should be getting between 10-23 cm, depending on what actually happens. Finally have Christmas weather here with ice pellets falling in unison with snow.


    ---------


    A very Merry Christmas to you too!!! :D

    WOOO!~ :party:


    Thank you! Same to you! :party:



    merry christmas to everyone. sometimes i'm lurking here, do you thnk there will be a christmans update like hostile animals and husbandry? i'd love that

    Let's have a good Christmas! :party:


    Lurking is fine, no problems with that. There will be a Christmas update with biomes and horses, among other surprises. Let Red51 surprise you. I hope he gets his update out in time.


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


    Two batches of images


    - Rising World - Vathunver Station - Storage & Hotel:


    I'll post this in my main thread later. Just doing a quick posting for now.




    Busy furnishing it, inside and out. Once we get more I'll continue decorating the rooms. I need to add one more green ring around the building, it's however done. Need to add banisters to stairway and the roof. I'll also post a more complete form of it on the other main thread and on Steam, after I'm unbanned on Dec 31st. Stupid Steam Support. Morons.


    And then we have Bing AI KanColle Christmas in Ottawa art, in Canadian theme.





    Merry Christmas! :party:

    1) Indie games are slow by nature, especially with how much goes into them. You should know this if you follow various indie games out there. AAA games spoil mainstream people while indie games update whenever they're ready. Also, haven't watched Radioman, though heard of him. Also feel people are being spoiled by him, but I guess people shall take what they can get. I'm not implying anything, I'm being neutral.


    2) I'm still playing it, and I'm certain others are on and off. Going through my backlogs in preparation of the upcoming, and those noted after. Fishing, boats, and trains shall be later down the line.


    3) Glad you know how difficult it is to rebuild. Steam has been a real pain in the ass on this one, though wish people would also support Red51 instead of empty words and promises.


    4) You can still have high hopes for Rising World, it's not dead. Minecraft stole $300 Canadian on me via Realms, even though I canceled it. They still billed me to the point I had to change cards to stop them. I checked the main payment pages, etc. They kept charging me monthly, even spamming my inbox desiring me back. Screw Minecraft! I'll stay with Rising World.


    5) Rising World IS the future, you have to support it. Red51 needs all the support he can get. If he taps into mod.io, Booth (Pixiv), Unity store page integration, etc, this game shall be one of the best games out there. Granted, you'll then see clones doing half as much trying to copy Red51 and Rising World. I've seen Minecraft imitating Rising World in certain aspects.


    6) Once again, that's indie games. People love to pretend to support Red51 without supporting him. If I could send money to Red51, I would. I need to also win the lottery to do so, I'll be one of his big sponsors. Doesn't help outside influences making things even more needlessly dire.


    7) You're saying that so stupidly, though that's one of the best parts of indie games. Each update brings out a new feature, and that's the best part. Pre-Microsoft Minecraft used to do this making us cheer with joy. Dolphins? Sweet! Banana trees? Nice! Coffee plants were noted in being in the works, as with canons, and big boats, and other stuff.


    When trains shall come it'll put other train games to shame. :D


    8 ) Your rap comparisons been lost. Do elaborate.


    (Now I'm waiting for the "please shut up" comment.)
