Looks pretty cool.

Sooo, can you make build saves in it or something? If it could, it would be pretty impressive.

Well i bet you could in later versions and it would probably have the blockhead model but like i said its not even in beta yet.
And i doubt it will ever be finished because the person thats making it doesnt go on the forums anymore.

Psp2 = psp + psp go

3ds = Revolutionary breakthrough!?

If only the psp2 had 3d without glasses...

Psp2 = psp + psp go
How? The new psp looks nothing like the psp go.

Oversized square psp go that can use compact discs.

Make a type of port to be able to be used on each console. It could work. Think about it:

Wii would have you use the brown townog stick addon to walk around and Z would Place a brick, or A. I'd say B would shoot a brick, and C would move the camera if you point your wii at another direction. The directional button would be for different bricks. - or + would bring up a gui with Options, Admin, Players, Menu and crap. And 1 & 2 for other stuff. I just see a lot of potential for a wii port.
This. A Wii port could be pretty nice if made well.

Xbox 360, would be a better choice. Just because the company is the same as the PC Windows software and changing the code would be too big of a hassle due to more similar languages.

There are several things people need to understand about a Blockland portable port.

The first is, say there was a Blockland portable edition, it will be nothing like the PC edition. The interface will be different, the variety of features will be less. You won't be able to join PC servers. You won't be able to use add-ons, or at least not like we know of now. You won't be able to port your builds from PC to portable. I'm sure most of you know this, but I just think everyone needs to clarify that they understand, even if a portable edition was made, it will not be an alternative to the PC edition. The same way The Sims on PC is not like The Sims on GBA.

Now, if we are going to make this game on a console, the Xbox might be the best. Windows and Xbox are made by Microsoft. Xbox does have keyboards and since they are made by the same company, it's common since that connection to eachother would be possible. Now, there could be things that may come up, but I doubt anything serious would come up if done right.

If I were to make Blockland for a portable system, I wouldn't convert the files or anything, I'd just completely re-make the game, but keep it looking the same. It would be a lot more easy then painfully trying to convert it.

Fun fact! The psp2 is actually more powerful than the xbox 360 and would actually meet blockland's standards. There would of course have to be a way to get an operating system onto it and driver's would be a mess but it is technically possible.

Same with the 3ds but not as much.
3ds makes up for its missing power in its 3d projection ability.
So 3ds =//= Psp2
