  • About update announcements

    Quote from red51


    Yes, I totally agree to that. Main reason for the announcements was the fact, that people explicitly asked for it in the past. Especially server admins (I can understand that) wanted to be aware of an upcoming update, so they can make sure that they're able to update their server in time. On the other hand, it's always a pity if the update gets delayed then...



    Hmm as far as I recall, the previous announcements were - at least more or less - appropriate. The last update announcement, for example, was pretty much identical to this one, with the exception, that the update was available at 7 pm GMT indeed. However, I guess it is no secret that some updates have been delayed in the past, so it's indeed better to reduce the amount of update-announcements ^^


    Such is life in developer land. I have a long time friend that wrote doom and so many other titles for the pc (Apogee Software ) I loved his release dates. They were always the same . "When it is ready " he never gave a date :)


    I am actually writing a game myself (for android and tablets in unity ) and I don't know if it will ever be ready LOL

  • About update announcements

    Red ,
    We all appreciate and enjoy the updates when they are released, however , It is probably better just to post the updates when they are ready and not to announce them early (even on the same day ). I have noticed the last 4 times you did this that they were delayed for one reason or another. A lot of companies refrain from doing this. We can all understand that problems crop up. I would rather just see the notice that it was updated, then to sit here and expect something to come in only to have it delayed for one reason or another. That way no one is disappointed or gets excited expecting an update to come in at a specific time. Just a suggestion to alleviate frustrations if something goes wrong. When there is a single developer working on a product, it is probably just best to release when you are ready :)

  • OMG!!!!!!!

    Can't wait to see what Red51 decided to add into the game. Always something from the community so it should be highly worthwhile, even if it may be a tiny one. Even though it may be a small, or 'light' update. Some fence blocks here, maybe some animals there, and some extra furniture pieces? That's my guess. Maybe one or two more consumables.


    Well, if no biomes in a week's timeframe then I may I respectfully ask for some biome teaser images? :P


    Red said a few weeks ago there were going to be 2 updates before biomes , the first was the Memory optimization and a few bug fixes posted a couple of weeks ago. This one is probably addressing the multiplayer issues red spoke about. I am just going on what was mentioned before. There may be a few things added. The notice just said it was an update. It did not say it was a small update and it did not say it was a big update or the biomes update.


    So the plot thickens :)

  • A new game to check out while we are waiting for Biomes and other stuff

    Quote from Poedelini

    I just bought fall out 4. Curious what the new update will be tomorrow evening!


    If I remember correctly , Tomorrows update is most bug fixes and multiplayer fixes , not the biomes. As far as Fall out 4 goes , I do not know much about it other then it is not my style of game. I do not go much for those post nuclear war types of shooters . Not my style. I am sure many are looking foreword to it. The next game I have some interest in is No mans sky. But only to study the procedural generation. Lots of stuff coming out in the near future.

  • New Card now game crashes

    Quote from icon58

    Hello,


    I brought a new video card GTX 970 STRIX one of the hottest cards going. ( for my budget) SO I installed it clean install of the latest drivers loaded up the game set everything on high... Game plays smooth...... Next day I am playing flying starts stuttering, then java exception. Ok restart game do okay. then TOTAL fatal exception.. Sigghhhh BTW I am the guy that can break anything and everything I was going to tell Red I wold be a beta tester but I am afraid I would muck up the game all thru... :/. See attachment for error log. please advise.


    Turn down the draw distance and turn off the triplaner LOD mapping in settings. You only have 1gb of video ram. I have a GTX 750 and the game runs fine if you turn down the draw distance a bit,and turn off the triplaner LOD mapping it should be ok.

  • 2015/2016

    Quote from red51


    Probably this will be implemented by the end of this year or the beginning of 2016 ;)


    Red ,
    There are only about 8 weeks left in 2015. This seems like an awful lot to implement in 8 weeks. Unless the biomes are like already done, all of these additions I have seen mentioned seem to be a stretch at best. I hope you are able to bring all of this out very soon. I hope you can do it all . One person can only do so much. I do hope to see all of these additions soon :)

  • Reminder!

    Arcticukitsu. I meant to quote Avengers post not yours , I agree with you. rising world is what it is and I am sure that one day it will have all the features that Red and everyone else wants in it. Red is the developer so we have to take the game the way he designs it and in the order he chooses. There are dozens and dozens of things to play out there while we are waiting. We will get the biomes one day in the future.

  • Block Gravity?

    Quote from red51

    Basically structural intregrity would be interesting, but also has a few downsides: On the one hand, a lot of existing buildings may collapse after such an update (and it would be a pity, especially on multiplayer servers), on the other hand it would be extremely demanding in terms of performance if a fully furnished skyscraper collapses^^
    However, eventually it will be added as an optional feature somewhen in the future, but I'm not sure about that ;)


    If you were to turn on structural integrity with the way most of this stuff is built , it would all fall down. For a good example watch some of the medevil engineers youtube videos when they turn it on. It is hilarious :)

  • Reminder!

    Quote from ArcticuKitsu

    100% agreed with this.


    Just wait it out & be patient. Again, you can' rush art so stop forcing the issue. Yes, Red51 needs to get it out there, but he's also overwhelmed by it. It be best for another 'small update' to then tend to the biome again. Rajkox needs to chill while waiting it out till it's actually ready to be shared. Purposely ignoring the patience part :/


    And I worry for Sagsave's personality. Just like Rajkox, they both need to chill out because the whole post of either is silly. :/


    You can not just "forget" the biomes update. It is too large of a part of this game . People do not want an endless forest. Actually if you think about this all of the land generation and Biomes should have been written before anything else. You generate the world first then the rest comes later. Anyhow rising world is what it is and I am sure that one day it will have all the features that Red and everyone else wants in it. Red is the developer so we have to take the game the way he designs it and in the order he chooses. There are dozens and dozens of things to play out there while we are waiting. We will get the biomes one day in the future. I still think biomes are weeks and weeks away and I do not think we will get them all at once, probably 2 or 3 at a time.

  • Reminder!

    When you have a game with only 1 person doing most of the work, It is going to take a long time for anything to get finished , especially if the developer is working on 10 things at once .


    There are several new games that have popped up on steam that are rapidly becoming similar to this . Especially the planets addition to space engineers . Both Metaverse and empyrion are also very close to this in a lot of ways and different in others . Also a new game called Kingdoms was just released on steam. So while we are waiting, there are others to check out . I do not want to leave out Space engine. If they ever do biomes and building on the billions of worlds it can create, it will be great. There is plenty to do. And seriously , I doubt we will see biomes anytime soon. At least for 1-3 months. So check out what else is out there while you are waiting. Rising world's biomes will be done when it is done.

  • Space Exploration Plausibility

    Basically every time you start a new world you are creating a new planet The worlds are not round in the sense as they go on forever. We do have a compass but if you keep going north you never wrap around to the beginning again because this game is not written this way.

  • Recent update makes part of menu inaccessible


    If it is windows 10 Do the following.
    Go to compatibility mode and select "this program does not display properly" and also Disable font scaling . Mine did the same thing and it fixed it for me .

  • Changelog 2015-09-28: Major improvements!

    Quote from yahgiggle

    i know some people who teach music but cant sing for the life of them, just pointing that out lol yeah you made a game 100 years ago but that was then and things change try and make one now days thats half as good as rising world with out using unity or any other point and click game maker and then ill start to listen


    A lot of good rock and roll was written by people that cant sing :)
    By the way , Rising world uses the jmonkey engine. Golook it up. Unity , Gamemaker, Unity , Unreal all use point and click technology but coding ties them all together .
    There is nothing wrong with point and click.
