Realm Explorer will be a computer game about creation in the fantasy universe of Gnostaria; your creations. In perhaps the most dynamic sandbox world yet to be conceived you will be able to dig the soil and mine ore, precious metals and gems all in a beautiful and dynamic 3D world. The terrain will shape and form to your actions. Drive a shovel into the ground and watch the earth give way. Heave your pickaxe into a cave wall and see the stone disintegrate before you; revealing the treasure beneath. Go on adventures alone or with friends via internet multiplayer and craft weapons, armor, tools and other items. How you play is up to you. The possibilities are limitless.

Looks good,
what about a Linux version? Unity permits that!
Hi Giamme,
We would like to support Linux and Mac in the future. We will most likely start exploring these possibilities around a beta release timeframe. We presently don't have any hardware setup to test either of these platforms but supporting Mac and Linux are definitely goals for the future.
Keep on rocking guys! this game will be awesome!
Is the game working? Because I tried joining a multiplayer and it just wouldn't work,and tried single player and it just won't pass from the "Loading realm" window.
Hi Mikael1987,
There have been a few players who have had problems running the game however there have been several thousand more who have been able to play without a problem.
Some of the top reasons why Realm Explorer doesn't work are as follows:
1. Computer hardware isn't powerful enough to run the game. Right now we recommend a quadcore CPU, 4GB of RAM and DirectX 9 or better video card from the past 6 years or so. We're working all the time to reduce these requirements. Also keep in mind that single player requires a much more powerful computer than multiplayer.
2. Not having .NET 4.5 installed when trying to run the Single Player. If you wish to play Multiplayer only then you don't need to have .NET 4.5 installed at all. If you try to run Single player the game will determine whether you have it installed or not and if not it will help you to download and install it. Please note that .NET 4.5 is only available from Microsoft for Windows Vista or higher (this is because Microsoft officially will stop supporting Windows XP as of this year).
3. A very slow hard drive. In some cases people who have very very slow hard drives have problems loading the game.
4. Unreliable internet connections. Right now all of the publicly listed servers that I'm aware of are hosted in North America. There have been some issues especially with users from outside of North America connecting to these servers. We have tracked several of these down to international internet routing issues and even worked with ISPs a few times to resolve them. This is generally out of our control. Anyone can download the stand alone server software from RealmSource.com and host a stand alone server for free.
If none of these issues help to address your problem please contact us at support@realmsource.com with your computer specs and RealmSource.NET account name and we will be able to help you further.
I'm about to get a copy of this promising title, one question I have two questions: are there any combat in the current state of the game?
Cheers!
Hi Crisdmc,
Combat isn't presently in the game but it will be the focus of our next major release. We will be doing some other feature / content releases before then but after that the main focus will be on combat (followed by NPCs).
You can see our current development plan here: Realmsource.com
Enjoy!
Excellent, thank you! looking forward to this title, you're doing awesome guys! one thing I'd like to recommend about looting is the fact that supposedly you'll take everything an enemy was carrying, so if you loot an skeleton his armor should be in bad shape (rust, missing parts and such) and obviously this armor should not grant as much protection as a new one, but here is the good thing, you should be able to repair it! and to add balance, a repaired armor from a looted corpse should no grant as much protection as a brand new one :) I don't know if you have already tought of this, just wanted to throw my humble opinion and help to improve more and more this awesome promising title.
Cheers!
I just started the game for the first time, and tried creating a new single player realm. After entering the name and the seed, I get thrown back to my desktop, but the game is still running. When I select the game and get back into it, I'm back at the realm selection, and the realm I tried creating is not in the list.
Not sure what, if anything, I'm doing wrong, but it seems I can get no further.
Running on Win7 64-bit, Core i7 CPU, 8 GB RAM, ATI 5870 GPU
Hi rocketsurgeon,
