Early Access Game

Get instant access and start playing; get involved with this game as it develops.

Note: This Early Access game is not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We want to give players the opportunity to already play our game in the course of its development. This allows us to see which game elements could benefit from further development, or what possibly needs to be changed, so that we can adapt the development accordingly.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“As long as necessary. In other words, the game must remain in the “Early Access” phase until it shows fully adequate gameplay and all our planned features have been largely implemented.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full version guarantees the player that he/she is also getting a full-fledged game, which means that all the important features have been implemented, and all the serious bugs eliminated. There will however most likely still be updates later on to simply continue improving the game.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is currently still in Alpha stage. Many important things are already present; for example, the basic technical structure as well as game elements, such as the structural system, are fairly well developed. Some game elements that are essential for fully adequate gameplay are nevertheless still missing.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“In one word: yes. The price will reflect the game’s current stage of development. This means that small price increases are planned upon reaching the Beta stage (which can also be still be regarded as Early Access) and upon reaching the final version.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Consultation with the community is very important to us. Our forum, where all kinds of discussions can be initiated, is provided for just this purpose. Our own bug tracker is available on our home page, ensuring that bugs come to our attention and are eliminated as quickly as possible. We take the community’s needs and criticisms very seriously.”

Upcoming: Dungeons and Plugin API

Hi folks! A new update will be available soon, but today we want to give some information about two important upcoming features.

Dungeons

As you probably know we're currently working on dungeons, they're going to be available very soon. This includes various underground dungeons, underwater ruins, but also other "abandoned" buildings like old shacks in the woods. Here we have two preview screenshots for you (still work-in-progress):

Plugin API

We are also working on a new, Java based plugin API, which will replace the current Lua API. The new API allows you to create custom "gamemodes" and influence the gameplay, basically it can be considered as a "lite version" of Modding. The first release of the plugin API allows you to (among others):

Take control of various events
Create custom gui elements, including images
Place and move custom 3d models in the world
Get full access to the world database
Query keyboard events of a player
Spawn items and modify player inventories

The new API will have a proper documentation from the very beginning, unlike the current Lua API.

Stay tuned!

I have to say. After playing this game for only a few hours, and finally getting the hang of the game, this game is one of the best survival games i have played in a while. I play stranded deep which is a stranded at sea game which is good. but this game is a mix of rust and minecraft all in one. The building and farming is like minecraft but the mining and worktables feel just like rust. I wish rust was made for single player. But Rising world is a reccomanded game from me if you like building like minecraft, and a survival feel like rust this game gets an 8/10 from me. There could be a few more things added to the game but as of right now i really like this game.

I Highly Recommend this game to anyone with a creative mind & enjoys complex games.

Pros:
-I really enjoyed the farming aspect Rising world offers. Every tree you chop requires a very specific amount of swings of your ax in order to drop it & even more swings to chop it up/remove stump. ( I have a guide on this)
-It is not strictly block based.
-This game is perfect for people who love to not only build, but explore! Mining is a real joy in Rising World.
-Whilst building your dream home, structure, or anything really. The options you have seem endless. You can make standard blocks, stairs, ramp pieces, angled pieces for an arch and corners, etc.
-There are a decent variety of biomes (more will be added apparently). Winter, Plains, Mountains, Savannah
-Wide variety of animals. From rabbits to elephants
-You can host your own world rather easily.
-cool features players have created/added. Vornet (economy based plugin $$). Area protection, etc.
-can literally dig to hell
-Many different ores in the game, making vornet even more fun if the server is economy driven.
-The lighting options in Rising World are out of the world (lamps, chandeliers, bright a** florescent type lights.

I guess I will end the Pros there!

Cons:
-Unfortunately, like any game, some GM's of public servers are power hungry and will ban you for no reason.
-You do not have the full power of one who has the 'creative' game-type options available. Which can make crafting a bit wonky and limited(ie, Creative-mode you can use any texture in game on any object, as to where in survival youre limited to textures for said objects, usually listed by an ID number. to my understanding).

Other things to add. The day/night durations are well balanced. There is an option to see you're coordinates in-game (F3). The game is just very complex. I have 100+ hours and some-times I still feel oblivous to possabilities, as to where in other games like rising world, I played them for awhile and felt as if i had reached the 'end' which made me lose interest.

Love the building concept. I have already gotten my moneys worth out of the game and features are still being added. More involved than Minecraft but less involved than LIF:Your Own or WURM.

This game is a realalistic minecraft done right, the blocks look good and are smaller so more detail can be put into buildings, and you can mine out great looking caves instead of everything being square and bad looking. The realalistic textures on the blocks look fine and fit well. Lastly, the developers of this game are great. Please buy this!!!

This game is just great! I totaly recomend it!

I buy early access titles based on what they are rather than what they're planned to be, so that's how I'll review this one.

Graphically, the game looks very nice, but runs very slow on my laptop with integrated (intel HD3000) graphics. There's not a lot to do in this game except to go into creative mode and build stuff, but that in itself is kind of fun. There are quite a number of blocks, props, and other building options in the game already. As a former pen-and-paper RPGer, I was able to build a lot of things that I had created years ago in my imagination and actually SEE them, which was awesome. Castles, dungeons, inns and taverns... you name it.

So... in it's current state, is it worth the current price of fifteen bucks? I think so, but I'm Alaskan, so my idea of the value of a dollar is skewed. I've got roughly 30 hours into it, so that's about fifty cents an hour. In my mind, I could spend $15 to destroy my body with fast food, destroy my immortal soul with alcohol, or destroy my mind with video games.

Or, (my personal favorite) all of the above, please.

I am not much of a reviewer, but this game really deserves a big thumbs up for the devs. They've done a great job with this, and have not slacked off on development. Every so often there are cool updates that make a difference and this world is just astonishing.
I thought this was going to be a 'prettier minecraft'. Wow was I wrong. This is such an incredible environment. The big brain-freeze, is that this thing is in it's infancy! I can't imagine how it is going to look and play in another year? 2 years? Holy crap.
My wife and I just play together for hours on end. Expanding our first world, making new ones and exploring, and we spend a lot of time just plopping down a campfire, a shelter, some garden furniture, and 'making camp' as night falls and just watching.
Yep - this is a game that absolutely compells you to take time and just watch the unbelievable sunsets, sit in the glow of the fire, listen to the crickets, and watch the stars. Utterly amazing for such an early release.
If this is your kind of game, then you will be in heaven. I have a feeling this is going to be much more than anyone expected. Just with the open scripting and model nature I have already seen astounding worlds on multiplayer servers. This is going to turn into quite the unfolding saga - Oh yeah, I highly recommend this if you couldn't tell. :)

If you like building and the idea of a more realisitic looking version of Minecraft, then this game is for you. Servers can also be heavily modded with scripts to make online communities way more interesting.

This is a crafting and exploration game that I'm really enjoying. There are updates from time to time that add functionality or features and it's exciting to see the game evolve. There are a few glitches, but to be honest, I like them, and will maybe miss them if they're ironed out.

Rising World is very open world with plenty of different biomes and seeds to discover and exploit. You can mine and smelt ore, farm crops, build houses and even use pictures from your own computer to decorate your dream home.

It is intuitive to play, and there's plenty of resources as well as a whole active community to draw on if you're stuck.

It's great as it is, but there are obviously loads of things in the pipeline to make it even better in the near future.

1. Created dedicated server for myself and daughter to play on.
2. Daughter and I spawned in.
3. Daughter attacked a goat....goat killed her.
4. Daughter ran through grassy field and fell in a cave and broke her legs
5. Daughter's hunger was growing...killed pig...made campfire with grill grate..burned bacon...daughter fell over from starvation as I was removing burned bacon from grill.

Would watch daughter get killed by goat/break legs/and starve to death again.
