General Discussion / Jump Jet Challenge

« on: June 13, 2017, 08:55:15 PM »

Ever wonder what happens when you realize you're washed up and have lost all your talent to build, but still want to contribute to the community somehow? Well, you're in the right forgetin place, bucko...


Placid's Jump Jet Challenge
... because I'd take function over form any day.

This build is literally trash. But I can almost promise you, unless your name is Skill4Life, that it will dumpster you. I considered not even providing pictures but I think it might help contextualize this topic. Enjoy and have a laugh at how terrible I've become at building. Click to see full res.

FAQ

• Who are you?

Some washed up motherforgeter. If you haven't been here since at least 2013, I probably don't know you. Sorry.

• No, seriously, who are you?

Used to be pretty decent at building (s/o to my oldies in AoB <3) but went off to college and all my building skills have quickly evaporated and left me with stuffty tones of gray and glow FX red bricks. See: https://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=234512.0

• Can you add more checkpoints?

No.

• Can you increase the player count?

Given the nature of this challenge, I'm mostly going to keep the player count very low. It would be very easy for people to boost to high ledges, especially given the presence of jets. So no.

• Where am I supposed to go? I'm confused.

Part of the challenge is figuring out where to go. I'm actually pretty proud of myself for making a building that actually has some sort of structural coherence, although I'm sure someone will find a way to exploit this and I'll be eating my own words.

• Whoa, I just found a treasure chest. Are there more of these?

There is one hidden somewhere in each level. Admittedly finding these can be very difficult and most of the time you cannot find it without resetting to the beginning of the level, so I apologize for that.

• Is that a print brick inside a modter brick?

Yes. Yes it is.


Well.. That's about all I can think of for now. See y'all around I guess.

Off Topic / anyone do math team?

« on: October 17, 2013, 08:43:04 PM »

haha nerd no shut up and get out math is awesome

i was kinda curious if anyone here does math team with their school, and if so if your school participates in this thing called Interstellar - basically an online math competition between high schools across the nation that then get put into brackets and win/lose matches to advance in their divisions, it's pretty cool stuff.

but yeah, so my school does it and this week we're paired up against a school in Iowa so i figured hey there might be a chance there's someone here that does it too, cause that would be pretty cool and blf bragging rights

anyone?

General Discussion / Upcoming Gamemode: Treasure Trails

« on: June 22, 2013, 01:12:00 PM »

I'm posting this to notify people of my gamemode that is nearly finished (basically in testing phases now).

A basic summary of the gamemode: Rotation of maps in which there are 20+ chests, from which around 5 randomly get selected at the beginning of each round. The first person to find them all wins the round... Rinse and repeat.

I've got one problem though: I don't want to only use default builds because that would be boring. So I guess this post is asking for people to either build something and hide a bunch of treasure chests, take your favorite build (whether it's yours or not, I don't care - just make sure to include credit to the original creator!) and hide chests in it, and either post them to this topic or PM them to me so that I can package them and set the map rotation up. I would prefer that they have mostly default bricks and the default colorset.

I'll edit this to be the official topic later, but for now it'll remain as a "preview" and request.

Drama / Heads up - Mold

« on: September 07, 2012, 04:43:26 PM »

I realize that a lot of people aren't dumb enough to somehow fall for a key scam. This is just a heads up to look out for him in the future, as he is scamming people of their keys because he is bored.

So, I logged into Blockland today, not really expecting anything. I'm greeted by this message:


NOTE: I have verified that yes, the key is a legitimate key. I have since deleted it from my computer so the only people who have it are Mold and (possibly) Furdle. The key is some guy named Progressive's, don't really know him, not really that relevant.

Again, this is just a heads up and to watch out for this guy. At this point I'd say that deactivating him really won't do anything because he has, as he said, scammed over 20 keys and has them in his possession.

To Mold: Look, I realize you're bored with this game. But this is completely unnecessary and destructive. You shouldn't forget up other peoples' keys because you're bored with the game. You used to seem pretty cool until you started doing this. Seriously, it's not cool and doesn't make you cool.

General Discussion / Placid's Challenges [1 Upcoming]

« on: August 30, 2012, 06:55:39 PM »

hi
i'm placid
i make challenges
no, i do not believe this belongs in gallery, it's a promo for the server
note: my challenges are, in fact, challenging. they usually don't require luck (ie choose this color) and require jumping or timing skill and precision. if you don't like that, you don't have to come. just don't complain to me that you can't do something.

NEWS: AS OF RIGHT NOW (9/1/12, 1:58 PM EST) WE HAVE A WORKING CHECKPOINT SAVER THANKS TO MOLD. YOUR CHECKPOINT PROGRESS MAY HAVE BEEN LOST BUT NOW THERE WILL BE NO MORE JET/SPAWNING ON THE ROOF GLITCHES (yay). FROM NOW ON IF YOU ARE ON A CHECK YOU WILL RESPAWN THERE IF YOU LEAVE THE SERVER AND COME BACK.


Challenge 1: Jump Challenge
this challenge is based on jumping, timing and some glitches. it's more of an AiO, but it has a lot of ramps and special bricks.
legend: RED: kill on touch, everything else: platforms
levels: 16, difficulty: easy --> expert
pictures:


(one of the more.. popular levels)

tips:
-remember, it's a challenge. it's supposed to be hard. you have to think. i'm gonna tell you right now that level 1 has stumped a lot of people, so don't get frustrated.
-think and remember that i don't add stuff into the environment for the fun of it. it's there for a reason.
-jump.
-crouch.
winners:
-Manty: 72 deaths
-Sycrone: ???? deaths


Challenge 2: Grapple Hook Challenge
a bit of a new concept, there's more timing and precision involved in this one.
legend: GREEN: grappleable bricks, RED: kill on touch, PURPLE: kill on grapple.
levels: 14, difficulty: easy --> hard
pictures:


tips:
-jumping and hitting a grapple point in mid air will give you some more velocity. try to utilize the different types of grappling to get different types of velocity for each level.
-"grapple sprinting": you can use a grapple hook to shoot at the floor and jump which will give you a big boost in speed going forwards.
winners:
-none yet


upcoming challenges:
-rocket jumping

Games / Shootmania Storm

« on: August 29, 2012, 07:50:03 PM »

does anyone else here play ShootMania Storm? it's recently been released for pre-purchase and access to the early "beta".. and it's goddamn fun. if there's enough people that play it here i might look into putting up a server or at least expanding this into a decently sized thread.

Games / RPG Game Ideas?

« on: July 08, 2012, 09:20:49 PM »

So Games, I'm going to a game design camp in 1 week and am making an rpg game based off the engine in the game Neverwinter Nights 2 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82TSz2_UDxU). I'm curious: Do you guys have any interesting, original ideas for an RPG? To be honest I'm not the most creative guy and have no idea what I'd like to make a game about so I need ideas.

serious answers please, not like "save snake land" - heard it before

Games / Is this cool as stuff or what?

« on: June 21, 2012, 12:29:00 PM »

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SS4r9Fq3beU
just saw this, holy forget as a puzzle game lover do want.

basically, it's a student game called perspective where there's two characters that you control: one is a 2d platformer and the other one is in a 3d world where walls are the platforms for the 2d platformer. you have to maneuver the platformer to the end of the level and it involves some really, really cool stuff.

bump because guess what its being released soon
