A stupid title, yet something I've been thinking about when playing Rising World that it would be neat to 'run & jump', or 'sprint & jump'. Even 'grasping' onto the edge of a block or scenery as you fall so you don't fall to your death.

Copied & pasted from Steam forums:

Quote

Not sure what to title this because it's simply requesting quicker motions, or more advanced motions of animations from the player. I'd probably have to expect this in the player models & animations update, if not added much later.

1) Sprinting & Jumping: This may be hard to word as it's probably more related to a character running, jumping, and doing cart wheels, and such. Just being able to move faster than running (sprinting) while also being able to jump from rocks to jump even higher.. Being able to jump off items & such. Being able to run, run over an object, then jumping even higher from that object to then land on your hand & one knee in bracing for impact.

2) Gripping: In replacement to Minecraft's 'Shift" to crawl over an edge we should be able to grip onto a surface instead of falling down. When we walk over an edge the character should either A) Be prompted to hold onto the edge (Metal Gear Solid game style), or B) Automatically register you're falling to your death so the character grips onto an edge. Whichever causes the least amount of frustration and errors. This also helps when you accidentally slip off an edge that your character could still hold onto the edge before the grip is lost. (I view this one as the most important because we tend to slip off of structures we tend to build)

3) Ledge/wall Climbing: Not really important, yet it's a spinoff suggestion from #2 to be able to climb surfaces that you'd be able to grasp onto one wood plank onto another, or anything extruding form surfaces. This could also then be inserted into dungeons, terrain, and etc. Being able to climb rock formations, and etc. Cliffs, anything.

4) Crouch, prone, lean........The usual.

----------

Shouldn't stop there, yet be added onto anything that you've seen in RPG games of any sort. Look at Metal Gear Solid games, Witcher, Phantasy Star Online 2. Dragon's Dogma. Anything. Being able to crouch & go prone, and etc. I guess some of this 'might' be in the player models & animations update, yet view #2 (Gripping) to be the major one of them all because of how one tends to fall off when building things. We need an alternative to Minecraft's leaning over an edge (shift).

If you know of any animation type feel free to post something. Anything specific for survival?

Just more 'active' & 'interactive' animations to mess about with. I find myself slipping off blocks when building that I'd love to grasp onto a ledge when I slip off so I can bring myself back up onto where I was standing. An auto animation, or something.....Being able to climb up would be handy also, even encouraging more dungeon types, and such.

I absolutely love this item and idea. it would be a nice 'late game' type item, yet if one finds it from a merchant it would shift the balance of the game in an 'interesting' manner. Imagine finding this in a dungeon from a poor soul, or something along those lines. An NPC from a more advanced society gifts it to you, or something. So many routes of obtaining it, using it, that it be neat. Once we gain endless world Rising World the uses shall be even more endless.

Multi-purpose smartphone device that would keep track of anything. I love it! Imagine getting updates on when transportation would arrive at stations and etc. With just one device one could be well informed with the developed world that we created, and if trains, buses, and etc would keep chunks loaded in that spread out manner.

Oh, the possibilities.

Yup. Or just do something similar to Minecraft where the background to the hotbar is fogged in a bit. Has a bit of its own background to make out the numbers & font. Also, to clarify that not blaming Zork on anything, just that he beat me to my own suggestion that I feel I made him aware of

Yeah, that's quite a trip. I stuck to one direction & found the cotton and hemp I was looking for. I spent a long while going so far when both cotton & hemp were so much closer than I realized. I traveled so far to gain new batches for me to later find cotton closer to Niska Village. I found so much closer by that it's frustrating I went quite a distance. And yeah, also that same situation I wished my compass worked properly, yet thankfully knew the direction my settlement was at.

Once we have gravel roads & railway up we won't need the compass for much longer. ONce I start using both those I would then stumble across them to follow them around.

Zork 'stole' one of my mentions that I'd love to see stack number in the hotbar standing out. Some background or font change that you'll see the stack number in any environment. Mentioned & showed it in one of my videos when pyramid building that I moved my POV around until I could see the stack number.

I thought there was one, yet I would love there to be a search option for finding servers. This is Zork's mention.

Compass: Maybe I'm stupid, yet I would love it if there was a main arrow pointing to the direction, a secondary & third to both main and secondary bed, and a fourth one for anything else. I tried to make sense of the compass, yet it was being strange to me. Couldn't even track my main bed, only the last area I slept at.......

I completely forgot about fireworks that was supposed to be planned for one of the New Year's festivities. I was reminded of it when I looked at one of my Minecraft videos for when I still played Minecraft.......Wouldn't mind mining up sulfur just to spend it all on fireworks, or a flare gun for the same effect, yet with variety in shell explosions.

- Rising World - Niska Village [0.7.4] - Episode 10: Merry Christmas!:

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays! Finally decided to get around to hunting down the necessary tree to finally find out what the Christmas tree appears as, and if it would fit in my home. It's apparently a Japanese or European sized tree to fit in a home. Quite neat. Was expecting variety though. Also had some issues with rendering my videos so you may see some slight bubbly transitions. Something happened, and I don't know what.

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays! And enjoy the festivities!

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

Also, at Zork: Yeah, sushi is my main 'go to' for snacking. Love spoiling myself with salmon related sushi. Hoping to see some form of that in the game.

Everybody is chill, yet Trillnar went pessimistic to dismissing people's postings in a passive aggressive manner, somewhat. Back to being chill that nobody replied to Trillnar. It's the tone of your comments so I hope you spend time enjoying Christmas.

Checking in if Red51 released an Update, or is about to. I guess I'm playing more Astroneer

Merry Christmas! The next day overwith how busy I am, but thanks!

Hope you guys are having a good one & won't return any gifts. Being grateful for what you received. Hope you enjoy your presents, food & etc!

(Wanted to get a simple video out celebrating Christmas by getting a Christmas tree in RW.)

It's a good thing I showed off how to use your wooden 'Z" as a table then. More of a stand to elevate it, yet if you want wheels you can pretend it has wheels heh. Now we'd need some sushi or Chinese dim sum to place on your 'Z' to further personalize it to you heh. I guess sushi for me, dim sum for you. That be awesome once we get down to cooking.

I was wondering who made that silly comment, then I looked at the name it all makes sense. Common........Have you stuck around with Minecraft since pre-Alpha, with Euro Truck SIm 2, American Truck, or any game in development? Stuff happens that it forces you to be patient. But yeah, I guess you were indeed right. Not sure what that does, and not trying to be condescending. It just makes things awkward when you say you were 'right". Some help would be sweet, and why he has some for animations.

Dungeons could have released earlier, yet Red51 felt the need/desire to release the helpful PLugin API, something that's actually being used properly. I don't see it as minor as it's being used as it should. Now, the problem actually being the community struggling to make plugins for various things that was listed as examples, among others, yet it can be Minecraft Bukkit's competition.

Dungeons is now around the corner. We can safely say we haven't died, turned into a skeleton, or anything. We can say that this is normal development as with Minecraft and other games. It's a standard issue that's "something is being made out of nothing" type issue. Dungeons is now releasing for Christmas, and we should be happy. Shit happens. Same/similar frustrations I had to deal with Minecraft, more so when Mojang ignores your feedback & input.

Yeah, we shall indeed see what happens next for 2017. Player Models & customization, maybe railway, maybe cooking. We'll have to see. After the player models & customization update Red51 needs to make a new promotional video (trailer).

I guess that's just a by-product of how we struggled to move from where we spawned. Everything was untouchable within, yet fine when you left that chunk.It was very funky. But yeah, nothing too serious. Used to seeing water oddities from Minecraft that it's natural to see it in Rising World.

Yeah, that sounds awesome. wouldn't mind dungeons spawning wherever. I'd even go hunting for them in newer chunks. I'd be amused if Vortac's fallout shalter gained a neighbor.

And yes, I poked fun with his slip-up of accidentally not allowing cotton & hemp from growing in survival mode. Laughing with him, not against him

- Rising World - 100 Subscribters YouTube Monument:

Just a quick video sharing my views that more videos to come. Showing off my new 'WIP' monument as it ends up being polished, added onto, among other things, over time. Shall share blueprint when I feel it's at a basic sharable point. Thanks for following me, and hope you enjoy the content! More to come as I try to test things in Niska village, even waiting to found Arcticu Empire when game is considered 'complete'. Hope to see my 'Vara' as an foxy NPC assisting me with tasks.

Also, special thanks to both Zork & Vortac for being 99 & 100 subs. They spawned that monument that shall expand with time.

Darwin echoes my thoughts perfectly.

Again, go over to SCS Software's blog and you'll see that people toxicly push the developers to release more states & maps for both Euro Truck SIm 2 & American truck Simulator. It's more idiotic when you know SCS can't, yet they would love to. It's their passion project. They would have released more states & content when able, yet they just humanly can't. Red51 can't. He wishes he could, yet can't. People keep calling SCS Software lazy, maybe purposely feigning ignorance (or just brainless) that making maps takes a long time of work and effort. Trying to make sure everything within the update works while also keeping enough content available for smaller updates to keep things spread out and balanced. Trucks alone is said to take a year (or more) to release in proper license fashion. Countries & states takes roughly quartly to a year to release (look at Arizona & re-scale for American Truck SImulator). All those assets having to be made, placed, polish & etc. Having to make sure the AI functions, among others. Compare that with what Rising World released with, not ignoring any update as another user managed to.

"Why aren't you releasing more states/countries/nations and bigger. You guys are extremely lazy! You guys should be focusing on making more maps, not these shitty side updates! GO TO HELL YOU LAZY DEVELOPERS! I BOUGHT THE GAME, AND YOU HAVE TO DO AS i SAY YOU JACKASSES! LISTEN TO ME AND MAKE MORE MAPS YOU LAZY IDIOTS!" - SCS Software community

Yeaaaaahh.......Now use that exact mentality in Rising World's situation. Not being a 'forum potato', as one brainless forum troll claimed us to be, yet things just can't release on a whim......

Darwin skimmed the mention of Minecraft with Mojang being slow & sloppy, yet even they take an eternity to release proper updates. They may not be using common sense, and they may be sloppy as hell, yet when they release something it takes them a good year, or more, to release. They really take the time to make sure everything is polished by allowing people to feedback on a weekly basis near the actual release of the updates via 'snapshot' releases.

If it all goes as planned we might see interesting PROPER variety to them. Who knows how it'll go, yet you'll have to repair them, you 'may' see them being tied in with lakes & ocean use only. YOu could make them sail through oceans, yet they'd gain severe damages that you gain the risk of sinking.

Yeah, I can both imagine, yet cannot because of how Rising World has yet to mature further. It's with the trains with how there'll be numerous sorts to them. From steam, diesel, electric, passenger & cargo types.

I'm also wondering if we'll even see cargo trucks of any sort. The cargo vans, box trucks, European styled trucks, as well as American Kenworth W900 type hauler trucks for long distances. Every time I play Euro Truck Sim 2 & American Truck Sim I always imagine putting cargo in them, driving them, and even very slowly making these trucks in a production type manner. It would take high grade resources to make them that each one would be special. Having to personally drive your truck around, put cargo in them (solids & liquids), among others.

Whenever water update gains a proper update horses, trains, and cars shall be the bigger priority. Water update would need a secondary major update to it.

I kept bugging Red51 to allow us to display stuff, and it's on the list. What's possible right now (via modding API) is to make tool racks. SOmeone however has to be brave enough to code that in, even having the will & desire to tackle that. We shall also gain a tool rack ability to hang our tools up.

I really want bookshelves to hold various books, scrolls, and etc. It should be a must, and I bet it is.

+1 to planting flowers in pots.

That's why I stopped harping about the boat because I want Dungeons to release so we can get to the 'Player models & animations' update quicker. Problem is, Dungeons is a whole can of worms in itself that we're just waiting & waiting.

ANd what zfoxfire said....I gave up on it with horses also being of a higher priority with more land than water right now. Oceans are just giant oval lakes right now. When game is done it'll be a one-world ocean with continents & islands........Can't wait for that.

Yeah, thanks to what I've been reading recently I'd want to strongly suggest & nudge the witches in game to be 'more realistic' from the various sources I've been reading, even some Anime (slice of life) normalizations on the topic of witches.

-----------

1) Witches should simply be woman with brooms & pointy hats that point you to surplus of beer, and anything relating to those sorts of beverages. Wine, beer, rum....Anythin that keeps the rating to be 'family friend', even though it is.The only reason they wore those witch hats was to be noticed (same with broom; below). Any style can be added for variety purposes.

2) Witches can still use brooms & hats, yet the brooms above doors signals to the illerate that they're selling booze. You should be able to find them in a market place area selling various liquids. If Red51 can add a broom object above door frames then that should signal selling of drinks (preferably what's considered booze), yet I guess 'basic' medicines also. Splints, bandages, and etc.

3) For immersion one could probably find them being harassed by bandits, raiders, & pirates and such that you would have to protect them. Not just outright attacking, yet verbal triggers of abuse which escalates (into physical assult) over time that you would either A) Hire NPC guards to guard them, or B) Hire them into your settlement to stay safe as to keep safe while helping you with whatever may be done. Could also have it triggered that the Witches would be attacked in Medieval era for stealing various book types & running so they could learn various stuff. (If they're being harassed then it's either to remove competition or fearing the unknown, or to just outright rob them clean.)

4) They should be found in a simple humble abode somewhere in a deep forest, or even among farmers where they grow necessary crops to make necessary drinkable content.

5) They should be fairly casual focusing more on standing out by wearing pointy hats so other NPCs & players could spot them as merchants. They should be seen studying things on a college & university level, if we can gain those structures in game, to even teach players and other NPCs various stuff. How to farm, how to brew, survive, fish, and etc. (Maybe the modern era could be seen studying in higher forms of education, stealing those level of goodies at Medieval era, thus the attacks in #3).

6) If one must arm them to be hostile then have them use various medieval weaponry, not ,magical broom sticks. Have them come at you with swords, daggers, blow darts, and such in whatever could be considered as a 'self-defense' weaponry.

7) They did have cats & such, yet that was to keep rats away and such. They could spawn with pets, yet those pets would simply be pest control. Ravens & crows? Less so. They shouldn't be a focus, yet a possibility. Same with Owls. Cats should be the standard, if at all. They should be seen hunting & keeping rats & rodents at bay, even being told not to follow the NPC. Only the area assigned.

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

After watching too many 'slice of life' anime, even reading the how witch folklore came about it be neat to see Witches turned more realistic, not what the Church & overly paranoid people turned them out to be. Even claiming other 'witches' were actual witches that they were snitched on to eliminate competition.

It was a cruel, cruel world for being a casual witch selling surplus of beer, wine, among other stuff..........

Display More

In Short: Just wanting to see a merchant Witch trying to sell booze, yet for immersion sake seeing her & other woman witches being harassed (only for immersion) by bandits, raiders, pirates, and fellow competition causing you to see them kick ass & for you to also choose to guard them, gain them in your settlement, and such. They'd help you out, if their AI enables them to via cooking & such. They would sell booze, side drinks, and anything they made as 'surplus'. The cats they'd have would just be pest control. The broom would be a sale sign, and etc.

I want to see Rising World go in a proper direction, thus this Witch concept trying to take them in a new direction. (Also because there's been a light discussion about Witches).

Edit: Sources

There's one on your list that I really want, yet can't have it until Dungeons releases. Thanks to the Dungeons update struggling to release I'd have ot wait much longer for Player Models & Customization update to release to gain access to those horses. I really do want horses.

Breeding would be awesome as well as I'd also start stockpiling up on meat, BBQ more often, yet may stick with fishing seeing as how that always gained me more food. I'd love to go fishing.

yup! Arizona is beautiful when you can see it properly. I love it that I'd be amused if Rising World would use what I shared on the steam forum suggested subforum for the sub-biomes. The nice hedges & desert grass to give 'some' cover.

Oh? Storms are indeed unexpected, or coincidentally wanted you to play the biomes update. nice.

Yup! I'm now trying to guess what the 'floating ore' of this dungeon update shall be. Water update had spawn chunk loaded only, nothing further. It has me curious.

- Rising World - Niska Village [0.7.4]: Ep 9 - Pyramid Topped!

After much pain & suffering I finally managed to regain the necessary software to convert .flv to Mp4 when I accidentally went FLV, not OBS MP4. Can finally share my video of me capping the pyramid while rambling on about various Rising World features, NPC desires, lightly on trains, Scuba Gear mention, among others. Even showing my lovely foxy in a video. Hope you enjoy the video, even if it's me just rambling on & on .

I shall now switch back to OBS .mp4 hoping OpenShot shall render videos appropriately.

I enjoyed these chat bubbles when I was on an FTB server long ago, yet miss the fun of it. You would see them when within spawn distance of the chunks, yet when you were too far it wouldn't pop up. I'd be amused to see these on NPCs in the game, as well as player side.

Well, I'm no expert so I guess I'll leave the deep thoughts to those that have actual skill to script this.....Or even Red51 to give the ability for others to reverse-engineer. It be awesome to have these.
