I'm not gonna point any fingers [cough] all of blockland [/cough], but people keep asking when BL:S will come out. I decided to write it down instead of telling everyone on-by-one:
THE ALL AWAITED FIRST RELEASE!!!: The first community playable version is going to come out about somewhere between oct. and feb. (this is private though, only certain people will get to play)
Public Beta: After all suggestions from the first release is added, the public beta will be available anywhere from march to may.
Public Beta 2: After some of the dynamic features are added, a new beta will be realesed. This should come out anytime form july to august/september.
Public Beta 3: Most features will be in the game by this release. Consider this an interactive Christmas present :D. I think ill release this on Christmas day...
The free version of the full game!: Everything is added and working, and any mods made on this version will work for a very long time.
Final Release!!!: The $20 version will be released and Blocktopia (BL:S's virtual world) will be online.
Be aware that by the last to releases, we will have a system in place to keep the game from drawing power and data from your system. Instead, to acces the game you have to download a special software that allows your computer to run BL:S physics sims and use its power to create a completely lag-free enviroment when it is offline.
If you do not wish to use this program, I might go to work on a feature ristricted version (If you dont help the community and make a lag-free game, you don't deserve to play the full game :P)
I wonder if the beta will ever come out.
