I don't think the developers of this game would take the time to possibly change a game engine for two other consoles (seeing as how we have a ps3 thread too) just so you have something to do when your not bored. Its not like blockland was created in a snap. You can't just say "Oooh make it for xbox" and actually expect it to come out even within the next 8 months. This would take a HUGE amount of time, complexity, and with a new engine, it might not support the epic little things in blockland that make it a huge success and apply to the games originality in the sense of the artistic style. They don't even got blockland on Ubuntu yet, so what makes you think that blockland for the ps3 or xbox is even a realistic goal to set, especially when the new PlayStation Vita is coming out soon, and you know Microsoft is gonna create a system to compete with them somehow. Just think of how long its taking the Blockland Team to complete the v21 update, they have been hard at work for months just on that one update. Think of how long it would take to re-create the game in a whole new engine, i'd guess around 2 years. Making blockland for the xbox is a unrealistic goal for the blockland team, as they are only a small team and to re-code the whole game in a whole different engine.... no, just no. So i'm gonna go out on a limb here: Blockland will not be made for the xbox or ps3 Edit: Just realized i typed out a huge paragraph. Double-Edit: And pretty much responded to another thread. |

The problem is that Blockland doesn't really fit into the XBLA mindset of "pick up and play". The learning curve is steeper than anything currently on XBLA. It would have to be a boxed title, which means getting a publisher. Also there's tons of testing certification you have to go through which takes time and money. Plus there are marketability concerns with the game, even on the PC. Don't hold your breath. --- End quote --- |
