I'm hesitant to go any more in depth on the forums because so many of the replies here have been garbage. We've talked to a couple different people in private now and it's been much more productive.

several questions.

Phant - would you like to continue discussion in private? We're in a "closed door" phase and trying not to hand out too much.

who is "the team"? what is the pay rate? there's not a lot of details on the website, or in this post, which largely reads like marketing copy rather than what you might expect from a job posting

Think of this more like a call to arms for like-minded creators than a job post. Just trying to stir up some interest and test the waters right now, as we are a very small (3 people) company without a finished product. The website I linked to hasn't been publicly updated in a while and is only a means of getting in contact with me.

Off Topic / Hiring dev(s) for a Blockland-inspired game engine

« on: August 09, 2022, 09:50:29 AM »

Hello Blockland modding community. You may not know me but I know you...I am BLID 13876. I've been Legojak, JerBear, and most recently fonsi. I've watched the rise and fall of Blockland over the years and recently I've been given the opportunity to revive what made it so great.

I am part of a team creating a sleek, new, modernized sandbox game/platform. The underlying engine is handcrafted to mimic what we all know and love: automatic multiplayer synchronization, datablocks, rapid prototyping, server-sided scripting, and deep access to internals. The team is looking for devs that can help build it up to the same level of power and flexibility that BL+TGE offer, without the jank and crust of outdated technology, and a more Minecraft-like building experience on top.

I look to you, Blocklanders, as no one knows the requirements better than you do.

No it is not a clone, a remake, or a Brickadia rival.

DM (luisfonsivevo#0096 in BCC discord) or email (fonsi a@t brownbricks doot com) me for more info if you're interested in being part of an early-stage startup.

After School Special (and probably every piece of music in Blockland) apparently originates from a royalty-free CD that Badspot purchased in 1996. The true scavenger hunt is to find that CD.

source?

Games / Brown Bricks - a WebGL-based Minecraft Bootleg

« on: August 17, 2019, 12:27:42 AM »

Hello Blockland friends,

I have been working on this web browser game for the past few months and it's now crashing just little enough to share with the internets. For reasons that I can't remember, I decided to make a Minecraft bootleg with a couple nods to Blockland, along with a couple of my own ideas. It's still in its infancy but I figured I should get some feedback before wasting any more time on it.

Quick feature breakdown:
- Infinite building on all 6 axes (no height/depth limit)
- "Sculptable" blocks - not just cubes
- Completely free (for now) and open source
- Pure javascript; super easy to mod
- For a full breakdown, watch the release video where I awkwardly emit words at camera and demonstrate how to build.

Screenshots:

Left: Some terrain                                                               Right: Beach house

Left: Red_Guy's Unlimited Mining?                                        Right: The inevitable

Play it now and send me some hate: brownbricks.lol
Send bug reports, suggestions, pull requests, etc.: https://github.com/luisfonsivevo/BrownBricks

Modification Help / Is the original TGE source code floating around anywhere?

« on: July 24, 2019, 04:32:52 PM »

According to AOT's about page:

The Torque engine is the game engine behind hit game Tribes 2. For $100 anyone can buy the engine and recieve the full source code to modify as they please.

Since TGE is abandonware at this point and re-released as the open source Torque 3D anyway, surely someone must have the original on a crusty old hard drive somewhere.
