Hello everyone! I’m back with more news and new images from World Rising! =D Over the past few weeks, I’ve made several important improvements to the project. New buildings have been added, new technologies have been implemented and tested, and everything is working very well so far. I also rebuilt all the meshes that needed corrections to ensure that the shaders and lighting work properly. It was a lot of work, but the visual results have improved significantly! Another big addition is the creation of the Yayoi hero Katsuro. With him, we now have 4 of the 5 heroes planned for the ancient Japanese culture, with one hero representing each Era. The 4th Era — the Bronze Age — is now established and working, making the civilization’s progression increasingly complete. I’ve also continued working on the Yayoi economy. Yayoi granaries now produce both food and fibers used for clothing, currently represented by the leather resource in the game. The dynamic weather system has also received some adjustments. Weather events now occur at longer intervals, while rainfall lasts longer. This makes weather changes feel less frequent and more natural, while giving each event a stronger presence during gameplay. World Rising continues to grow step by step. There is still a lot of work ahead, but every new building, technology, character, and system is helping the project develop its own identity. I hope you enjoy the new images! Please keep commenting and sharing your opinions, criticism, and suggestions. Your feedback and participation are always welcome! Thank you all for supporting World Rising! 

The ship movement is really nice, and the inertia makes the collisions feel much more natural. It’s a shame it can’t be tested as a mod, but the demo videos still give a good idea of the changes. Hope more people can compile it and give feedback on the PR.

It’s the mod's official menu (Add the character 0.A.D.)

I sent an adaptation for Alpha 28 via private message—one I had on my hard drive—and I even included infantry with animations in it.
