General Discussion / Re: Blockland Development
« on: August 08, 2015, 07:33:36 AM »I can never understand this attitude to development and update lust.It's not bad that we're not getting frequent updates, but I don't think we can add too much amazing add-ons without it being either too laggy, too buggy or just plain non-functional. We have to rely on the creators of the game to add ways to get around these problems and allow us to produce better add-ons. I don't really care if things like treasure chests or teledoors are added, because even though they're really good things, they can easily be done with the add-on system. All we need is bugfixes, but at the same time, new ways to add more into the game, even if that means editing the engine itself. However, there also comes problems when things are added or changed, which causes problems in the engine and/or game. Then, more bugfixes have to be made, instead of new possibilities. I think that at this point a new engine must be put in, since torque is already struggling enough.
Not to mention the addition of shadows and shaders, literally pushing the engine to it's limits.
