| Altiris:
I recently realized that the shaders for Blockland will be very or somewhat intensive and require a good computer, although, isn't Blockland only designed as a 32bit program? Would this ruin performance or am I just wrong (I honestly don't know)? Would we gain performance if Blockland supported 64bit computers? |

They said that it will be toggleable in graphics options. Just like textures, physics and shadows are right now. |
| Conan:
Blockland shouldn't be upgraded to 64x by default, due to compatibility issues for older computers. However it would be nice if there was a 64x duplicate, though I don't know how much work that would take. |

they said graphics won't be toggleable forever. related: i hope shaders don't mess up certain things. like, i hope fire emitters don't turn dark, and i hope water emitters don't glow. should add a --- Code: ---SelfIlluminates = true; --- End code --- to emitters so we can have ones that glow and ones that don't (unless we already have this idk). and i think shadows casting in the sun's direction in a uniformly lit room would be annoying? and would walls cast shadows into the room making it dark even with a light on? can't wait to test out the update and give feedback |
