A necessary evil when you say you'll regret suggesting ideas for crops.

Not bad creature ideas. I vote for the Lair eggs & the Flys. I've seen far too many slimes that I want deeper creativity on that side. Finding these eggs should lead into them spawning into a skin or hard-shelled covered entity in a 'realistic fantasy' style. Not a dragon, nor a lizard....Leaving itself nicely open for some fun nightly creature to spawn within the mountains. A mountain oriented creature that feasts on stuff kept within it.

As for the insects, that's nice. Pesky, but nice. Grab yourself some flammable liquids and a zippo lighter to roast those bugs to a crisp heh. If we're getting those kinds of insects then I want to be able to see bats, birds, and such eating them so you can focus on the other 50% that'll wander into your area. I feel Red isn't all that keen in adding NPC Followers/comrades, nor pets, but I'll suggest it anyways that it would be interesting to tame some flying entity in the manner one would in Subnautica with the Stalkers. Give the flying entity some food and then you can see that it's actually yours with some cosmetic identification, or similar. It'll then stay near you, or in an area, to eat those pesky Scavenger Flies to bits. Guessing by what you're suggesting, it'll have to be a giant bird needing to be tamed also. I don't mind.

Just building off of your ideas and I'm loving them. Keep them up. It keeps the brainstorming going

Hmm....From the way I read that it sounded like you (LordFoobar) read too deeply into the first or second posting. Maybe I'm reading too much into it again.

If you popped in a discs in Minecraft, played music in Grand Theft Auto 3 to GTA 5, or even added custom music into other games should be fine. Even Second Life with how you can host and stream music there. If denied by not being given a radio object then I could simply open up a dated client of Winamp and play music from there. It would however be neat to make a folder with music you could select from and play music from in that manner. Streaming it to yourself, or on servers, to sooth or party.

Euro Truck Simulator 2 also gives you a nice option of choosing actual radio stations to listen to, even being able to add shortcuts to listen to others. Adding both offline & online type selections would be neat with the games I mentioned in mind.

I'm now curious if I'm still hitting the notes xdeft mentioned with English not being everybody's native tongue. Even I can't master it properly.

A folder in game's main folder? Something you can dump your own music to then play it out in the game's jukebox, radio, computer, and/or tv appliances. That would be sweet and something I strongly suggested with others to add whenever ready and possible. Treating music almost in the similar fashion to cars and such in GTA 3-5, just more appliance controlled hmm.

Awesome garden wall bit. Would love to visit & inspire from for my builds later. Awesome stuff

Now that be excellent! And I guess just for reference my idea would be something below 'heaven' with it being more of a hidden realm type thing. A hidden realm that you can picture as being a bubble that you fade into and out of, like fog with everything being exaggerated brightness and colourul in that aurora style.

Am pleased you find it awesome. The feeling is mutual to the idea of bringing ores & items from 'Nether', 'Overworld', 'Aurora world', and 'Heaven' could provoke the other world's entities.

I'd say that Red should do this because it would also 1-up Minecraft in more ways than one. It sounds awesome, in theory, or Singleplayers and those that behave well on survival mutliplayer. It would also be a fun feature that would make you think twice of hoarding the goodies out in the open. In chests should be fine. Should be a bonus, or a boost in the effect when the entities actually spot you placing it with the max range being the render distance, and if they have a clear sight on you. If Red wants to add AI patterns then you can have sneaky AI setting up traps in more hostile manners. I guess people could also use this for trolling purposes so server admins should beware, even disabling this.

- "Heaven" Ponderings.....

For anything above the height cap, would it be possible to have giant flying entities, spirit-like entities (think energy, yet physical), and such to float about? Could populate it with actual physical clouds in a more semi-alien manner by also being able to enter floating entities up there. Not hard-materials structures. More like biological & semi-spiritual that you can simply 'float' with, interact and such. Basically think of clouds & auroras, just in more life-like manner while also being able to interact with such.

If we're ever given airships then we should be able to meet these entities & their world halfway, same with them. We should be able to gradually 'contract' with them by flying freely into their world by earning a mount from them, gradually merging in with their reality that barely lives above this version of "Earth" and the lowest levels of "space" touching this planet. If it helps, imagine how the fog in Minecraft's perspective changes your view of the underground; gradually fading from the object physical into the aurora energy physical world. Something similar to that. We should gradually merge in with their reality by semi-popping into their world. Imagine flying around on their form of energetic birds to then tour their world. Food & survival? Anything illness & heat wise, they have you covered. They should try their best to keep you unaffected by their world while leaving hunger untouched. Make sure to bring your own food & snacks.

As for entering these semi-solid energy entities? Living Auroras? Just as it sounds. Everything would be shiny, yet still physical to the player's perspective. The 'structure entities' (that move) should be half-tinted by still allowing you to see outside, just not so much due to behaving somewhat like coral by banding together. Should still see auroras through them, somewhat like slime in Minecraft, or even ice blocks from the same game. I'm going to assume this should be more of an add-on, or a Mod....it however is unique enough to work on its own for vanilla that would be fun to see how Red, Ozzy, & ZaCorm view this from their perspective. I'm even hoping it makes sense.

(These ideas coming in from a mixture of Minecraft's Eather mod (spelling) and Dog Days S2 anime with the giant whale. The idea above also aiming for non-hallucinations. Should have a world up in the sky to encourage building towards the clouds.)

Nice to see people proud addicts for this game. That's awesome. It's only going to get 'worse' with each update. Ha!

I'm wanting to add myself onto the list but I can't join yet. I have so many ideas that I just want to go wild with them by just going all out. Seeing as how crazy I went with Minecraft, I'd find myself being twice, or three times of an addict in this lovely game.

More fantasy would be awesome, if it swayed away from the over-done fantasy bits. Red, or even modders, would need to get overly crafty and imaginative.

1) Coral-like trees: This actually sounds awesome that it reminds me of those indoor caves found in Skyrim; Shadowgreen Cavern & Eldergleam Sanctuary. I would welcome such a funky and alien-esque biome in this lovely word on the over-world side of things. Both over-and within the landscape. I also agree that they should be given the best, richest, and brightest of textures to make them appear glorious. They should be the gems of the world.

2) Giant Slimy Toadstools & Moss-like coverings on Stone: Sure, why not. This I can accept. Would be neat to see something funky and exotic. Seeing your pictures, and the ones in Skyrim, would make this feel perfect. Even that underwater aquatic game with underwater mushrooms behaving like kelp-trees and such. Giving it a nice unique spin to keep one interested would be sweet. Imagine having such to call your home, if you can fight the spores and such they let off.

3) Sub Hell Biome: Eh, not so much. I'd rather see weaker versions of hell mobs spawning just slightly above the hell because Terraria killed any fun this idea had. Granted, Red and his buddies could do better. Same with modders. Would have to make it quite touristy & rewarding in some manner. I guess seeing zombie dogs, entities that spit odd resources out, and such could work.

-----------

I do love your ideas and would love to spawn more. Lots of nice inspiration to be found in Minecraft's FTB modpacks adding in terrains that can be used as inspiration. Mystcraft being one such thing, just more crafty.

Oh, the horror! Not my tea! No! I love drinking tea T_T. haha!

Nice stuff! Loving the builds.
(I wonder if it's possible for Rising World to brighten its textures like in these builds & screenshots hmm.)

Ooo! Unique! Love seeing these silly builds like this. Now imagine actually living there

Now that's a lovely log cabin I can hide in. Would be nice to hide in there when surviving the elements, and something I need to build up in my world more often.

A'moose'ing.

I guess that's your vote :). I'm still strongly sided on wanting to have Moose as mounts; Both seriously & half seriously. A wide world to use at your finger tips to use whatever you can, or want. Bonus points if Red does consider Moose to be mounts, even having them joust.

I guess, on the breeding part. I am however positive that riding a Moose has been a thing, even in the past. Hard to keep track when people didn't want to keep track of things so I'm sure it happened, even in Europe. Europe especially, more so modern times.

Now I guess I have to wait and see how this holds up with time, and if Red wants to be kind enough to gift me, and us, this option.

@Daredevil: I agree. Sailing with what you built on land next to water would be twice as awesome when seeing its skeletal form. I do hope they it it that way so you can see the reward before hits the high-seas

Nephy: Tried to imagine what Red would accept and came to that conclusion with Danube sized vessels. It's fitting, more so for mutliplayer. if Red does cave in and add bartering NPCs then imagine bulking up their storage with resources. This also going for player side stuff.

I also wanted to make note that I hate how Minecraft treated boats, yet shied away from making note of that for always bringing up Minecraft. I want boats to be treated like actual boats in this game, even given a few varieties. This game can afford such, so I'd love to see this game being rewarding all around. Seeing your ship being built out in the open, sailing, even in variety. That be perfect!

That's high on what I wanted to recommend also by making use of nature's randomness. It'll give Rising World that odd chance of sprouting some odd plant-life generated at random, something along the lines of flower & weed growth in Animal Crossing: New Leaf. Seeing the birds poop to then eventually find yourself seeing that odd wild corn grow, or similar....Imagine the surprise one would find when they play to do a double-take upon that odd plant discovery.

- Elevators - That's something that's been in VERY HIGH demand in Minecraft. I'm now seeing a great demand for them in Rising World so they should be considered for a game like this.
- Automatic Sliding Doors - Oh, this would be awesome! Having naturally programmed sliding doors would be awesome. Rising World can actually pull this off nicely with frames you can place above and below in door frames.
- Human NPCs - A must on both the hostile & friendly side of things. They need to also populate NPC villages that we're demanding and on high demand. NPC Traders are nice and all, just that upping it would make things far more fun to an environmental element to being followers.
- NPC Villages - In high demand and a must for a game like this now. If you have a vast world then we need to make use of it. We would love to encounter other civilizations, from natives to higher-tech ones; Both what we see as 'primitive natives' to modern-tech civilizations. They need to be able to trade via bartering with human players and vice-versa.
- Hunting Bow: You're in luck! Bows & arrows are planned to be added. Even pistols.

And I agree that there should be a chance for NPCs to join your settlements at random. Timber & Stone style, and more on a 'traveler' type manner. Seeking food, shelter, and such. I wonder if the second bit shall ever happen, the banding together bit. Things like morale and the more complex stuff would be more for mods because Red wants to keep things greatly detailed, yet simple in specific parts. I'm having trouble convincing Red to add in NPC villages & followers in full because I'm only one obnoxious Canadian bastard ( ). I guess that would be a mod thing; Behavior, morale, and rebellions and such. Not so much for food quenching. That can be vanilla.

Hmm...Sound that actually adapts to the scenery around you. Ya, that needs to happen...if not in Vanilla then at least in mods. Hearing the actual insect in your area, the rain, the animals, monsters, and etc. You should hear what you're seeing. I also agree with that you should be able to see yourself cutting trees, or even pickaxing ore nodes in that Skyrim manner. Both in first & third person manner. I don't want to pressure Red and his two partners, just that Skyrim itself just might be what he wants to use as inspiration; that bar to aim for, even surpassing it while having the most fun he can. That's what we're seeking with most of what we desire coming from that, but actual creative free-roam.

Waterfalls, water mobs that attack you, and detailed water. Anything dealing with water and water biome I'll find Red needing to hit the local pub every night. If he wants to to all out, if it's even his desire, then he's going to be chugging down liquor on a nightly or weekendly basis...If he isn't already. Like a sailor!

Hmm....I know we discussed this before but I can't help imagine building ships on a shoreline. Not built in a box, or in a crafting grid either....Just imagining a ship sailing after you've built it by hand, out in the open. You're given these ship hulls that you build up through skeletons, add the hull, the features and etc. You build it up while seeing your progress of it. When you're done you'll nudge the boat into the water by hitting it with a bottle of ceremonial liquor bottle that could activate the code itself. You'll then happily sail the high-seas.

What I'm expecting to build:
- Canoes - For your River & lake explorations. 1-5 people can get into one while also having a storage container on them somewhere.
- Fishing Boats - For your fishing needs (to catch all sorts of sea-life). To catch all sorts of sea-life, even those small whales. (Must contain a large storage container)
- Sail Boat - Similar to those found in Grand Theft Auto 5, or any. Something more 'casual' and 'luxurious' for the modern era. These ones can contain a mix of native tribe boats, 'European' sail boats, and even the modern ones found in GTA 5. Whatever red goes for, I do hope it's a fun one to take advantage of the high-seas.
- Cargo Boat - A vessel that'll be a merchant ship for mutliplayer maps. If building a railway is tough, and if players want the easy merchant/cargo ships then they should be able to. Not expecting anything massive....If it fits in the Danube then it should work in this game. Basically a Cargo Barge, a River Speeder, or something along those lines. These boats should be able to carry up to 20-50 storage chests worth of cargo, even liquids. This idea would be supported if Red considered pairing up these boats with 30,000 meters worth of oceans (1 hour journey). They should have the option to store anything that we shall be able to use.
- Coal/Steam Boats (Bonus) - Having the 'iron-clad' type boats to steam around the map, spewing smoke everywhere you go. Hauling goods while staying safe from the elements. Sailing around in a fully iron boat with a wooden deck while being armed by old-school canons. This one is up for some 'fantasy' designs by merging a warship concept into merchant design, or just going designing a ship with a single smoke-stack. This ship MUST contain both cargo and fuel storage. Even a lovely coal engine. This is optional for how silly things can easily become having to be both below and above deck.

I'm imagining the biggest boat in Rising World being what is found in Europe's Danube River

- Basically this being able to carry food, ores, liquids, and etc. If we can section off what cargo goes where then that would be helpful also.

- Bonus: Boat Customization:
For customization I want to nudge Red (doesn't have to) into allowing us to build it up through a skeleton form. Building the keel, the skeleton, the hull, the bridge, and etc in parts. Basically having a ghost form that you have to find a flat section of land next to water (think dry docks) to then build it piece-by-piece. Building it inside a crafting table just cheapens the whole thing. This should be something 'big' players should enjoy themselves building. Building the stuff, even inserting what kind of cargo hold, or how to personalize it should reward the player nicely in the long run. Being able to colour the boats, name them, and etc should help personalize the boats. Adding a poster system on the mast would be interesting. The ship's own flag and emblem.

For passenger boats the players should instead be able to build it up straight up, then they can insert what items they want in a limited space. Being able to add flowers & pots, food, drinks, decorations, and etc. A luxury linear, in a way. Programming would be hell, and I'm not going to expect it right away. I just hope this is at least considered because sea-life is also a big thing in our world that may reward the players nicely for their survival needs. I would also leave any 'gigantic' boats to modding. I'm expecting the 'largest' being Danube sized 'giant' boats. The rest for modding.

[Do note that I'm also trying to imagine what the future shall hold through modding also. Not just vanilla, but modding also. Just trying to expand thoughts also of the possibilities. I want this game to be awesome.]

@Ozzy: That song and that movie,.......All it does is prove to me USA has nothing worthwhile in media that they try to latch onto anything fun. Same for Canada. Europe is more lucky. Asia has lots to have fun with. I just hate Frozen while I love Star Wars & Star Trek. I remember watching those Viking cartoons that were turned into Kinderegg toys and such.

Would be amusing if Rising World had a funny bone of some sort. Being able to shrink you to ride chickens, or something on a similar note. Whatever you can think of that may sound better. RW may need a funny bone to keep things amusing.

----------

@ZaCormyr Oh, I am...I guess more along the lines of a rejected Canadian. Just that it's hard to get along with people locally, even if they're kind. (Not to bring up a sob story to your joke. Just ya...)

I guess it would be when you try to think purely on horses & camels. Have to keep in mind that people (First Nations & natives on the land) make use of any animal for any. They'll steal a baby to bread them into, or help them when abandoned, or assist an injured for long-term gain. It's only silly because you're wanting it to be silly. I remember how the Chinese were silly with their Oxen, and Indians with their Elephants. I'm passed that now heh. Having Moose, as aggressive as they are, as mounts would still be worthwhile.

Maybe I'm too serious this time around (look up to cold cloudy weather).

Having water run down windows, even other objects, would be sweet. Would help with the immersion, even with the beauty that can expand into images and videos.

Of course not all at once. I'm not trying to force the Trio into adding it all at once. They can take all the time they need to add what they need, just as long as what's on the features gets added first, our desires, then what I listed above being all our general thoughts and suggestions to make Rising World all that more fun and appealing. As long as this game is made for fun then it'll be fun for us that'll make them proud in return. I'm hoping that they're not going to back out of some features out of fear because they just might make the more fun -- water tends to be the most fearsome element; NPC villages & companions being the second fearsome feature; Snow with accumulation being the next. Granted, programming is a pain in the rear with me being understanding if they don't make it in.

Hoping to hear more thoughts from people. Maybe I worded things horribly again to find myself in an awkward spot again.
