-More customization
-More maps
-More bricks
-More detail
-More fun!

So i had an idea in the shower the other day (Which is where most of them come from), About blockland. I thought that since someone ported blockheads into Gmod, that maybe they could port ALL of the blockland resources to the Source SDK and more, and remake blockland utilizing the source engine. Why can't i do it? I cannot map or code that well, so i am hoping someone who CAN do these things will consider this, maybe even badspot. The source engine would be a big step up from the original game, and would really make players amazed at the better graphics. This could wind up as one of the best selling games on steam.

no one has the money to do this

CORRECTION: Badspot has made over 300k off blockland. Enough said about that.

22500 x $20 = $450,000

No matter how it goes, a lot of money is being directed into this game. Also, make sure to remove first 100 keys, then 1337 and 666 since they were skipped. He has much more into the game, now.

But Snow2, most of this money goes into his rent and normal living. It's not like he has a large income elsewhere, we are part of his livelihood. Why else does he still put up with our stuff? I know I'd leave this stuff behind if I had a stable income elsewhere.

I know that. Badspot could do this, though. So please stop talking about the "Impossibilities" Because there are hardly any.

Well, yes. But the source engine is free, so all he really needs to do is make the game, get a deal with valve (Where the money comes in), and sell it on steam(Where badspot gets lots of money)

You act as if it's a piece of cake. It takes TONS of work to make a game idiot, this would mean he would have to ignore Blockland as is.

He has to use tons of money to make the game, and sell it and all. Valve is a big huge company, Badspot's a person.
