Author Topic: What has happened  (Read 1353 times)

So, I have came back to Blockland after two years, and to be honest I am shocked at what has happened to blockland, it isn't the same, doesn't have the same feel and has just become un nessessarily complicated. RTB has been stopped, maps deleted, it's on Steam now... I miss the good old days, playing on Mike's House with all my aeons with my mates making secret bases in all the secret locations in the map. Now we're stuck to crappy flat maps, have no way now of contacting friends, no way of easily viewing Addons... It's just not the same anymore, I don't like it and neither does my brother, we bought this game about 3-4 years ago and now seeing what it is like I wish I never bought it.

What do we use now instead of RTB?
Why can't we use maps made by hard working people?
Is Blockland going to continue on a declining slope?

wah wah me no like change everything was better in the 90s

Ephi shut down RTB and quit being a moderator after the Steam release.

Its been 4 years since you bought it. You played it for two years and came back recently. You must've had fun out of the first two years you played. Two years worth of game for 20 dollars isn't bad at all when there are 60 dollar games that last half that time at most.

Yes, I don't like this change because everything was fine, it was a brilliant game. Now I don't know what to make of it.

Port is working on A rtb replacement called BAM
Maps were removed because it conflicted with shaders

lol, i don't think he plans to finish it

You can still build bases on a slate map.

RTB has been stopped,
I do agree about it not being AS clean (multiple boards of different add-on types) but the board still exists, also the RTB archives do.

have no way now of contacting friends,
Steam, or skype. (mostly)

What do we use now instead of RTB?
Blockland Forums add-ons section.
RTB Archive.

Why can't we use maps made by hard working people?
Brick maps still exist?

You're acting like Blockland has been changed from a sandbox game to a completely different game.

Now I don't know what to make of it.
What did you expect? You haven't played for 2 years, obviously there would be some major changes.

1. Steam.
2. Maps heavily complicated the game's code and greatly increased the amount of time required to release updates. Shadows and shaders have been added to replace maps, and you have a fully customizable slate, which can be themed through the admin menu.

Yeah I guess I have over reacted. It has been long, I am just used to how it use to be. I just hope something like RTB comes out.

He quit.
BAM will not be developed within foreseeable future, partially due to me being relatively busy with life as well as the highly disappointing lack of activity from both the modding community as well as Badspot himself. Repeatedly bumping the topic is not constructive, and I will lock it for the time being if it continues.
