I'm saving komp's pictures and putting them in my blockland screenshots folder so they show up on the menu.
Can't get enough of them.
lovey tunnel. <3

Holy stuff thats the best idea ever

[Jubel]

So, will light placed on a bunch of awkward bricks have really odd effects on the bricks?
Or will it be a smooth(ish) circle now?

Actually, now that I think about it..
All of those default screenshots should be retaken now with the new shadows.

Hey Komp, when initial release comes out, could you guys do a small competition for taking new default screens?

kompressor needs to stop answering questions and start pumping this out faster.

Can Kompressor assure me that this build will look ABSOLUTELY AWESOME with the new shadows and shaders?

Credit to Skill4Life on the build.

[comr4de]

What this means for me is loading up all my ships, adding lights, and re uploading them


WORTH IT



Edit: Serious question: What will happen to the tutorial? Will someone have to port that as well?

[SWAT One]

So in the map destruct???

[Blastdown]

Here's a question, how will these new shadows/shaders do with mirror-illusion type builds?
Would it completely kill the illusion, or would it somehow compliment it?

Brick lights should still work, just won't cast shadows... So scary, I'd imagine.

I'd imagine with shadows keeping direction, below the illusion point they wouldn't sync up.

Turn off shadows in options.

Edit: I liked kom's old avatar better :c

[MunkeyCheez]

sorry if this point has been made already but,


if someone who is new to the game feel isolated in Slate with 150 bricks? or are you going to raise the demo brick limit.

[Wedge]

Google Moderator would probably be really useful for organizing common questions and answers regarding the update.

[Negative]

Is it possible to make more slate maps?!
