although i havent been working on any maps... i can feel your pain... and Big Brother thinks the loss of terrain and interiors is not a bad thing and a small good thing
those of you who think loss of terrain making is good... your idiots

Hypocrite. Half of your post didn't even make sense.

The two most likely outcomes from this are:

A: Everyone will have to build they're stuff, and they will become more skilled builders

B: We will all just leave the game
Looking at several polls... the second option isn't happening.

Fixed


but since when has map making become the objective of this game? sure they're pretty but now people will actually build stuff! with these new shadows, builds will look 10x better with these fancy new shadows

false...do you see how idiotic you seem? builds (and maybe saves with them) will look a bit worse
badspot can already make it so that the bricks collide with rain

I'd rather have better maps than fancy lighting, really.

agreed

Yeah, you're just an ignorant kid.

Best if you just ignore this one folks.

Builds will not look worse, youre just grasping at straws because your argument is horrid.

agreed
I dont think maps can get any better, this engine is old.

Will do.

Shadows and shaders are just the START

They show what can be done by removing two old and broken features of the engine and makes one think of what possibilities are to come in future updates and add-ons

you are looking like an idiot... most people may prefer flat and build the stuff with bricks and shade the bricks with a tool over current BL and terrain(ACTUAL REAL(ish) TERRAIN!) without a brick shader... honestly.... just use the color packs to shade the blocks...

oh my god

just because you're all lazy forgets that like crappy looking interiors and terrains over even better looking in the future bricks that take some actual effort and creativity to utilize doesn't mean they're going to hold off on opening a path for the potential to hugely make a great upgrade to the engine and open to way for even more and even better updates
know why?
because they have to go
they are outdated, crappy, and frankly don't fit the game very well at all
get over it


get over not having shaders then

What? I hope you realize we will be getting shaders, whether you like it or not. And we will be losing interiors and terrains, whether you like it or not.

Seriously, get the forget out.

I fully agree with this. Blockland is fine the way it is. It doesn't need shadows to make the game look better. It's a game that consists of blocks. I've been playing Blockland for a while now and I've been fine without shadows, come to think of it, I never even thought of the idea of shadows coming into the game. I believe that people might not see it now, but in the future they'll soon regret wanting this update. I play Blockland a lot and this update will definitively reduce my playing time. I realize that I'm saying this just for myself, but I just don't like the idea of destroying one of Blockland's main strong points. If you kept the terrains and interiors with the shadow update that would be fine. But I don't think it's worth taking away this kind of content that the game holds in order to make it better.

me too(and those of you who hate the idea of terrain... your haters... your gonna hate(then when the update comes you will see how theese people feel))

Please, save the effort. Just ignore him.

He's just not going to attempt to understand a single thing you say, call you an idiot, and pull more stuff out of his ass.

making interior maps is such a hassle anyways, what with torque constructor and what not, i really think shaders and shadows if for the best, they're pretty c:
