"I guess it's another open-world survival craft RPG, how is it different this time?"

Ever thought of an open-world game where stuff in the background never disappears into thin air, or map chunks don’t freeze with everything in them—NPCs, trees, animals, etc.—until the player walks nearby?

How about an open world where nature and the environment constantly progress with the flow of time into the future, with weather, temperature, and seasons shaping the world as they go, and whatever changes you or the world have made are persistent throughout the entirety of the game world?

For example, the fruits you harvested from a tree would rot and eventually disappear even after you’ve moved away from the area, and the trees would change shape with the seasons and bear fruit again the following year.

Cross The World started as a very ambitious project, an answer to that itch I’ve always felt as a gamer who wanted a game just like that.

How does the game play?

• The game world isn't procedurally generated. It is 6006x4026(24,180,156 tiles) sized world including ocean chunks on a ground level (z level 0), including multiple underground z levels, that'd be 100+ million persistent tile world.

• Game offers Classic mode with features like permadeath and fog of war and casual mode without them.

• It's a party-based Roguelike RPG, you can control up to 4 characters or more in your party.

• You can choose between 28 classes and 3 races, while some classes can be similar to each other.

• Game provides more traditional RPG elements of character progression with levels, exp from combat and quest, active and passive skills, equipment enchantments as well as the well-known open-world survival crafting genre's UI and experience like chopping tree, grass, breaking rock, crafting tools, cooking meals, etc.

• Environment features such as temperature, weather, wet/dry/frozen, day and night, darkness and lighting, fog of war, permadeath, and 4 seasonal changes affecting the gameplay.

• In multiplayer, you can host the game so your friends can control the characters together.

• Everything in the game world runs persistently, nothing freezes and stops progression just because the player is away. Whatever progress or change you inflicted upon the game world will not just stay, but progress over time as well.

• This also means there is no loading once you are in the game, switching between two characters, even if they are 500 or 1000 chunks away, is instantaneous. 

• Level editor you can access while running the game like a creative-mode, in both single-player and multiplayer as a host.

• Dedicated modding support from the official developer.

Everything written here sounds very ambitious, can you really do this?

In a perfect world, yes. But we don’t live in a perfect world.

That’s why I’ve decided to make 99% of the game’s source code open source.

Hopefully, this action shows the passion—and the willingness to accept criticism of my game’s code.

What future updates are planned?

• Enhanced NPC behaviors: Animals, monsters, humanoid NPCs participate in routines that more actively reshape and influence their surroundings.

• More Season/Biome-related content such as seasonal plants, animals, fish, etc.

• This Includes large-scale simulations like animals crossing the continent by change of season, monsters raiding nearby town, mobs reproducing and taking combat each other.

• Calendar-based events like Fishing Tournament or Harvest Festival thrown and carried out by NPC AI.

• Controller, Steamdeck support.

• Powerful and polished level-editor as good as a game engine would.
