Rising Continents - Development
This is a long term low exp RPG project that I have started in 2013 in an early alpha stage.
Its name comes from "exploring a world that is extended day by day and that has naturally blocked off paths and roads".
For many years the project was on hold, so in fact instead of almost 10 years it may have been one or two years of developing only.
The whole map, content, scripts and story were created by myself. It was a one man project since day one.
Team and current positions:
Some of you may also know parts of the unfinished map from previous releases like: here
Since then I made many changes to the map, added areas, quests, spawns and started working on a lore.
For me personally it is really important to try out several features from different RPGs around the world.
Example: You will find a couple of mechanics inspired from Diablo or PoE. However, this is absolutely not going to be a "Diablo OT".
This is a "fun" motivated project and does not have any expectations on revenue. This is being developed as long as I am interested in it.
The last 3 months were exciting already, I had a closed alpha and continued implementing features adjusted to player feedback.
That is also something I want to keep up with. An open-alpha, closed-beta, open-beta will collect a lot of feedback and suggestions.

So what kind of systems did I implement yet?
What are the next steps and what is missing?
We have a lot of things to do. At the moment we are planning to go-live (earliest) end of next year or beginning of 2024.
There is also an f-a-q and suggestions channel on our discord. Let us know what kind of other ideas you got and we may pick them up!
Note: Since we are still in an early alpha, we will definitely make many changes and additions to the game. There will also be issues coming up from time to time but we are trying to get them solved during the development process beforehand.
This thread is going to keep you posted on all the progress and changes that we make until the official release date.
Its main focus will be to discuss features that are already implemented and showoff everything that is coming.
Everyone is welcome to participate in a respectful and constructive way.

and exploitable features.
