Development / Re: 2012/02/05 - Shadows and Shaders vs. Interiors and Terrain [Fan Art Too]
« on: February 18, 2012, 08:04:12 PM »Everyone hated v9 when all their add-on died. It didn't take long for better ones to come. Blocklanders are creative, I'm sure we will have neat brick terrains very shortly after this update.
V9 was neither a graphical update nor did it spell the end of a component of Blockland. But fakekilled bricks also casting shadows helps in sealing the deal with me.

I honestly can't be arsed to read 150 pages so if something's been said already, deal with it.
When I clicked on this topic and I scrolled down, I saw all those fan pages. I had no idea what was going on and if all this was as intense as I thought. Get rid of terrain and interiors? Those are fundamental components in Blockland! As I read more and more, I got more skeptical. Blockland is pretty old. Those shaders would end up looking like crap anyway and it wouldn't be worth the sacrifice.
Then I saw those screenshots and I immediately stuffed by fingers into my mouth to grab my jaw and prevent it from hitting the ground. Maybe that last part isn't real but what is true, is that I'm really impressed. This looks fantastic. I remember when I first got Blockland and with the release of the V9 update, I wondered what the future of the game will be with more content. I never ever ever thought Blockland, as an older game, could look as good as this and I'm completely blown away.
However, terrain and interiors had some decent pros past these developer cons. Skiing on The Slopes? That was probably the first thing I've ever done in Blockland all those years ago. Doing flips and soaring through the air and then tumbling down. That was and still is a lot of fun. So long to that. This is where people will start to protest about using bricks. Except bricks don't have the smooth curves that terrain does. You don't have to learn how to place terrain since it's already placed. Additionally, vehicles on bricks suck. Sometimes they glitch and clip into the bricks, rendering them stuck. Sometimes they manage to go all the way through. Skiing on smoothly curving slopes doesn't seem like it'll be coming back but I hope vehicle and brick interactions will be improved.
I'm also curious as to how the lack of variation in elevation and the removal of the visual elements of interiors and terrain plays in the mind of a new player. Maybe it'll force them to a higher and more intense level of imagination. Or something. Let's face it. Building and especially building decently in Blockland is hard to learn. But I'm not a new player and I can't react except with the sudden removal of things I've grown used to.
I also noticed a pretty funny thing. This new update will focus on the "block" part of the name Blockland whereas previously, it was about the "land".
lololololol

All you did was repackage the decals and replace the eyes/mouth on faces :\
I hate when people do this. I put a crapload of work into my decals, then some guy comes along and repackages crappy old ones and gets positive feedback.
I thought something was off about these. Where are yours and I'll get those instead.
