(I have not done my research and as such cannot tell you exactly what). However, updating, as Mega has said, would quite the project. It would involve pretty much re-creating blockland on the new engine. Chances are, it won't happen any time soon. |

Badspot and his team of super-technofaces are in his underground base working on it. |

If the author could say what exactly from the engine they wanted then it would actually be a suggestion. Keep in mind that the Blockland engine is pretty much it's own engine, a heavily modded version of the TGE, and going to a newer version of the TGE or even a different Torque engine branch wouldn't necesarily be a uniform upgrade, some things might become worse (until they got better). Badspot has the source code of the engine he's using now, so it's not like things from the newer engines can't be added if there's a good reason for it. Exampes of stuff added to the engine would be the blb rendering system, upnp support, etc. Some of this stuff isn't even in newer versions of the engine! |

Would new torque have better lighting and stop emitters from being invisible when viewed through transparent bricks? That'd be nice. |
