Ya, Red51 only let out a neutral tease saying that "there might be, yet there might not be an update", type of thing just to keep hyped so we can keep an eye out for the update. I do hope Red51 tackled the issues so we can see a December release, yet festivities shall delay things. If anything, might see it release between Boxing & New Years, yet shouldn't be quoted.

I uploaded a screenshot to steam of a winter scene I did when the new terrain tools were released . Since then I made some cliffs and a canyon, Made a few pseudo biomes as well , was just testing.

I smell some 'left out jealousy' from Trillnar :P. Props to Deirdre for doing things nicely, and loudly. Good timing & all that. I get those moments also in other communities so I know the feeling in that genuine 'left-out' manner. Selective hearing half the time

I have to agree with what SilverSatin up there ^. So much stressing out that it does make me wonder if biomes shall release, or if the trio shall have their festive fun which is perfectly fine in itself. An 'interesting week' indeed.

I'm now genuinely worried because the game feels like it has stalled nearly completely on biome update. I luckily lost my sense of time thanks to my work, yet still seeing Red51 struggling with the biomes update with it being deep into the December month (19th). It really does need to come out sometimes soon so the game can continue maturing. I don't want to pressure him, more so with it being a festive season, yet something needs to come out. All the features have also been stalled & pushed back further because of the Biomes update. Thinks like character creation, NPC traders, fishing, dungeons, water, horses, and all that. Biome update just might end up leaving a nasty after-taste at the rate it's going.

If Red51 needs to celebrate Christmas then it shall be fine if we're given something small to then allow for post-Christmas fun, in some manner. Just a few days (maybe early January) more & I can find myself playing the game with whatever update comes out next. Hopefully. All this waiting. What comes first? This biome update or me getting a computer to run this & other newer games?

If you want this to be taken seriously then post this in the bug sub-forum . But ya, do hope Red51 has it noted now.

I agree that it should switch up into the way Wurm Online/Unlimited way. There's the added bonus of having to then chop the downed trees again, with the added bonus of also making use of transportation carts & log trucks. It would even give purpose to having log carts for trains, when we also get those in the future. IF we do get them, that is.

Nothing wrong with having floating islands when you have them being as rare as mushroom & mesa biomes in Minecraft. Basically something that takes awhile to stumble upon, yet common enough for each player to claim their own on a server hmm. Would be appropriate.

Oh, lovely. Nice stuff. I guess those bugs need to be fixed first eh? A nice update that I'm sure I'll eventually use bits & pieces of.

Also, I'm now once again becoming excited/eager when seeing "NPCS Placements" bit thinking to the NPC Traders. Lovely stuff. Do wish the biome update the best also with all of us being highly restless. Red51 should feel highly proud for all the updates & how much he's being chugging away at this.

Also, seeing that 4th image with the floating chunk is making me think of how Red51 could play around with his 'Fantasy biome' idea heh. This game allows for some rare-crazy happenings to happen.

I love this train! Nice! Can't wait for the actual functional version to be added

Fair enough. I'm fine with the mention of two more (or a few) updates happening before the biome update, just that people REALLY want the biome updates. And I understand what you mean when you say people may get their hopes up, and such. I'm just glad I can wait it out till December or January so I'm one of the more patient ones, also having a Japanese game event (KanColle) to keep me occupied

May I politely ask for a one or a few biome teasers if it isn't releasing soon? Just some teasers to keep the hype going? I'm genuinely curious now, more so after all the trolling rampages we had & such. We're heading into December soon with biomes still struggling and I can't pretend I'm not worried about biomes anymore.

This about languages? Red51 mentioned that he's add in more languages once the game settles in more after the update. When it enters a more 'complete' state. Wanting to say which, yet feel I may confuse people if I say the wrong state. In a year or two we'll have languages of various sorts.

Also interested in seeing Dutch so I could try nudging my Dutch friend into this game.

Yes, you can filter out anything you want. You can treat this like Skyrim + those Nexus mods & such. It's that easy.

And in general.....

Also, thanks to the desire not to have roaming hostile entities we're stuck with hostile animals above. I do hope for some 'rare boss' or something on the top side, or else it get boring. I do hope those dangers from dungeons leak out into the main world on occasions. Look at Space Engineers with pirates & Timber & Stone with skeletons & such. Needs more of that, even if people voted against it. People only saying that in fear & frustration, yet they secretly enjoy it for stories told.

Whoa...Too fast!

Red51 had an urge to make a fantasy biome so that's something to look forward to, if & when he does it. I also agree that the fantasy biome should assist us in obtaining things that would otherwise clash with the game elsewhere. I'm agreeing it should be where we obtain our floating/flying airship of whatever sort, as with the islands.

I suggest that you folks strongly search up 'Twilight Forest' for Minecraft to learn more about it. I'd love to nudge Red51 into doing a dungeon that would link up with another realm to allow magic, but only in that other realm. We would do realism in the current world while only keeping 'realistic' stuff in such; Likewise with Magic in the fantasy realm.

Lastly, any anime fans here? If you've seen 'Gate' Anime (a 2015 anime), then you'd get the basic idea of where I also want to take this after having loads of fun in Minecraft's 'Twilight Forest' mod. It was fun. I really want to have magic so having an alternate realm to have such would be awesome without clashing with the current. I'd love to have a 'magical' companion (NPC) being able to use magic in that realm while stuck with swords & small firearms in our world.

Update was sweet. After some accidental snooping I found out we're getting a nice surprise for Christmas. Awesome to hear

Maybe it's a normal patch -> Biomes -> special Christmas update.

I just felt like teaseing those lurking. Have fun!

I vote for this.

've been spoiled by Star Wars Galaxies & Phantasy Star Online 2 to do this. I guess even Star Wars: The Old Republic also for how you can sit & do stuff in your inventory or chat. Would be sweet for Rising World to match this nicely from there, as in here. Even Space Engineers allows sitting. Fun fun.

Agreed. "Ready when it's ready".

I do however have to genuinely wonder what state this biome update is in to have been pushed from August to November. Maybe into December. What's keeping it behind? The complexities in the biomes on a technical side? The textures & scenery? The co-existence of both plants & wildlife? Texture issues? Missing biomes? The biome-spawning algorithms? Not saying to rush the update out in a buggy state, or to be given an answer. I'm just genuinely curious (as others) as to the state of it all in that "curiousity killed the cat" manner. Something possibly 'silly' might have pushed it from August to now that we're all being restless RW'ings.

But ya, as long as we're getting those small updates to keep us happy then I'm fine with things. That 'feature page' is your roadmap of things to come. It doesn't add what people request, yet it does give you a nice solid idea of things. Ask politely & you shall receive in equalness. As long as it's useful & easy to pop in.

Oh, and I now prefer this thanks to the radio feature in Euro Truck Simulator 2.

Your are goddamn right!

*Facepalms*

That's not a roadmap :D, it's the features that will be implemented someday.

That's as close to a road-map as you're going to get. Red51 said that updates shall be done "when they are done". You'll get things when they're considered complete.

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

Also @ OP:

I wouldn't mind building things in chunk to then piece together. Building a bed frame, a bed, and such out in the open would be awesome. A bit too complicated when you add in the tiny bits, yet be sweet to have some form of complexity added for various variety in this game. Having played Minecraft + Feed The Beast with Mindcrack & any technological modpack would make me feel at home.

Also, biomes first, THEN water. Let's not complicate things for Red51 because I want biomes to finally be released.....We'll also get static water before physics because of how complicated it is.

I do hope Red51 makes note of crushing stone into sand because that's what was done in one Minecraft mod, and it does wonders in this sort of game.

Bumping this for Mr. Yahgiggle because he keeps mixing up his "you're" by placing "your"....Yahgiggle, study this & use Google. I just want to help

I'm sorry. But I do not know this Star Wars Episode 1 film of which you speak. George Lucas toyed around with a script for such a film in the early 90s. The only Star Wars movie which George Lucas was the primary director of was Episode 4 (originally just "Star Wars" in 1977). Irvin Kershner directed Episode 5 and 6 (which were incredible films). No prequels exist and I'm looking forward to see what J.J. Abrams does with Star Wars. What he did to Star Trek was horrendous but I feel he is more suitable for directing a proper Star Wars film. December 18th is just around the corner. If he does a good job, then perhaps some day in the future there will be an Episode 1. Only then will I understand this vision of cliffs and Podracing of which you speak.

That aside, I'm glad to know that others have dreams of Minecraft and now Rising World. Once Biomes and water are in place, I'm hoping to see some improvements to cave generation. The idea of underground settlements have always intrigued me. Have you ever played Myst Uru? That game allows you to explore the underground ruins of the Dn'i civilization. I've always dreamed of expansive caverns with oceans, similar to that in Journey To The Center Of The Earth. I'd love to see a world such as that in Rising World someday. I hope Red has some plans to implement underground water caves at some point. If we get something similar to Glowstone in Minecraft then even better

Meh. There's always some good points to a movie so I dislike it when people throw something close to a tantrum to these things. Ya, you're free to that sort of opinion, and I would agree with you, but not to the point of purposely doing such ^. I'm trying to mention what I also dreamed of with those cliff-side homes. I guess I should have mentioned having those monster spawner dungeons appearing on the side of ravines end-on-end to be an abandoned civilized area. I still wish more would be seen of those Naboo fighters, more varieties, and more fun. I also have high hopes for this new Star Wars movie while wishing that Star Trek movie would have been better.

The only 'Myst' I know is of a game where you can travel to various worlds. There's even a mod for Minecraft that allows you to warp to one world & the next by creating books & finding runes. Basically creating 'Ages' to travel while hoping nothing collapses. Hoping Red51 takes note when wanting to add in 'fantasy' biomes. Should be fun to see this, & others while shying away from the generic fantasy stuff while aiming for some unique fantasy. I'm also sure Red51 shall add in some sort of underground lighting to mimic, and surpass the glowstone stuff. He has the freedom to go all Skyrim & Fallout with it by adding glowing plants, objects, & etc through world-gen. Should be fun.

Lastly, I even dreamed about submarines from Silent Hunter 3, so I'm going to assume I might dream of oceanic vessels whenever Red51 does add them in. Same with when he eventually adds in submarines (something Minecraft ignored by giving drinking potions) for some underwater fun. I'm thinking more U-boat, though some more civilian submarine should be sweet, if & when that happens.
