"Version 21"?

[Altiris]

The obvious reason why the name V21 adapted was because whenever Badspot would release something big or a large amount of bug fixes, he would give it a new version. The shadows and shaders update will be something big, I doubt Badspot wont call the next update V21.


And also to the guy who said we would need a new launcher for v21, I highly doubt that because Badspot created this launcher purposely for future updates like this.

Yeah, I'm thinking now that nothing about the launcher will need to be changed. Just probably the Blockland.exe and a bunch of other things for the shadows and shaders. I remember when events were announced, Space Guy came out with mediocre event system to compensate for the next version. Surprised no one has tried adding shadows through an Add-On, if that's even possible.

The launcher can modify every single file in your Blockland folder, including Blockland.exe.

Not possible.

well if it was just called v20 like the other updates have been that would be stupid. Example:

Kid goes on forums and asks "When is v20 coming out"
Some guy replies "It already out idiot"

Another kid asks "Whens V20 Shadows and Shaders out.
A guy replies "v20 is already out, shads and shades is v21 and I think it is coming out soon.

Finally a kid says "When is v21 coming"
A guy says "Soon, I believe"

I believe that wraps things up

v21 is going to make the troll-face face default.

This better be true...

[Firecycle]

This better be true...

Shadows and Shaders is going to be V22

[NEkram]

v21 will have no interiors, terrains, shadows, and shaders, but will have the trollface default

I think he's right, it doesn't say that 'V21 will have shadows!'

"When is this release going to happen?" When it’s done. We will probably initially release shadows with a toggle to turn them ON, then later have them on by default.

That's the only thing he mentions about the update, so as far as we know, it could be in v25.

[Awdax]

People were asking if we would get a "beta" of the shadows and shaders. Like you quoted - but there is more to it somewhere in the topic - he said that we will get an early version of it, just so we can test it. Then afterwards, when everything has been fixed and optimized, we will get the complete shadows and shaders.

So I'm guessing the test version will just be a v20 release, with them off by default. But then v21 will be the full release, with them on by default.
