If you had Windows 8, would you get a Blockland app for the metro start screen? (As in a BLACK square with a completely white Blockland "B" logo in the center)

HELL YEAH!!!
Sounds great!
Maybe...
not really.
no.

i was thinking something like this:



no I think the logo for blockland has to be white and smaller (like the camera logo for example)

It's funny how you guys have a problem calling it an app. Windows refers to them as Applications in current versions. Calling it an App and listing it different changes nothing about what it's purpose is.

No.
Kenkoman's right.
1. That logo was way better then yours.
2. We could do with another logo then just the plain one.

Ehh, no, some of the shadow is cut out.


Metro can run blockland, it uses the same windows os as in win 7, just has a different startup menu

Metro cannot run Blockland, Windows 8 desktop can. Metro is not the same as any old .exe, and Metro apps do not support OpenGL, which is the graphics system blockland uses, making this impossible unless Badspot remakes BL with Direct X

Do you not know what an app is? Apps are for tiny little "pass-the-time" games like Temple Run and Angry Birds. Not an actual full-fledged video game. The entire idea of it being an app frightens me. It can install and run just fine on the documents folder on the Windows 8 desktop. Just put a shortcut to it on the main menu or something.

App is the shortened form of application.

I wonder what DirectX BL would be like...
