Author Topic: Would you donate money to Badspot/Kompresser to have T&I + S&S?  (Read 3798 times)

i can already tell this will be flamed but treat this as if it can happen cause it can
steam would be an example some people thought it wont happen but what is happening now?

DO NOT MAKE PREMATURE DONATIONS UNLESS BADSPOT ACEPTS DONATIONS!

Save the Bedroom!

Terrains and Interiors were a good feature in the game. so are our Shadows & Shadders. But what if we had them both then you have more options on what you can do. in the game. Every thing is posible in some way...
So do it FOR THE BEDROOM!!!
TWSS.

ok people are thinking i want the old ones back... why would you bright it back if it isn't better?

No. I'm glad terrains and interiors are gone.

Not only were they ugly, but they were also a pain in the ass for Badspot, kompressor, and anyone doing any kind of major private RPG.

seeing terrains and interiors one more time would be nice one day..

ty for the positive

Like seriously. Why the hell would you want these. It's like you don't want the game to be updated. Look at the development section. 8 update topics in only 2 months. Imagine if they didn't remove terrains and interiors. We wouldn't even have the shadows and shaders yet, and they'd have had a much harder time getting the game to work for everyone.


There is no reason to even think donating money would revive them.

In order to make all this possible, though, we need to kill two old, slow features in Blockland: interiors and terrains.

These two features complicate Blockland’s code tremendously. That means we can’t add game features very quickly. They still have bugs in them (after years of work). They are slow, too - bricks are about 90% of their speed and can do a LOT more (explosions, events, in-game editing).

They also look bad.
They looked great in 1999, but it is 2012 now. It’s time to move forward.

I already donated when I bought the game for $20.

do i want the same ones back? probably not. would i like to see them redone better? yes. bedroom and kitchen were neat because it could create the feeling that you were building in a house (playing with legos). it was something that other building games didn't really include.

Torque3D could probably be able to have Terrain and the shaders or at least shadows, however upgrading the engine to that would take work and Badspot stated he doesnt think upgrading is a good idea. One more note, even if we could get them back I don't really want them anymore in my opinion.

you really think that they took away T&I for no reason? That they can just bring it back easily?

Guys he never said to bring BACK the old ones that were giving him problems, he just asked how much you would donate to get a newer version that doesnt bring difficulties back. No way would badspot bring back a feature that was a bit screwey without fixing it first.
