Shadows and shaders. What the hell's happening?
Nightmare-Duckie:
So I haven't been on the forums much since pretty much the whole blowup of shadows and shaders and whatnot, but I'm creeping around the forums tonight and I decide to check on the Development thread. Created February 5th, last OP edit February 20th, last post February 21st, locked. I see no sign of progress or that any sign of progress has been disclosed to the citizens (for whatever reason). Basically, what's the status on that? Five months of null. That's quite a long time. I never really supported it so I'm not complaining but did it just die or what?
Pass:
This again?
They are working on it. Do not expect it done so quickly. Remember how long it took from v19 - v20, and it was only a new loader?
Sheath:
If you were here for the gap between v8 - v9, you'll realize that there is nothing slow happening here with v21, and actually the information released has been timely so far.
I'm not criticizing you in particular Nightmare because it seems to me like you are just being curious, but there are certain people that need to just enjoy the game and realize updates aren't everything. By the time v21 comes out, those people will probably be posting about v22 days after. Always happens.
LOL :D:
v22 - Shadows and Shaders removed, interiors and terrain readded.
Sheath:
In my view its highly likely the modding community will find a hacky workaround to run interiors in Blockland, either natively or by using a really dirty workaround to create the illusion of an interior.
Demand is there. Seems just like the kind of thing certain modders I know would be interested in doing just for fun. Not saying I encourage it, but I bet someone will try.
