Just because a game such as Crysis or Half Life uses the Cry or Source engine doesn't mean every single game will look the same. Stop being stupid and realize that you can customize textures/graphics, whatever in a game engine. Look at TF2 and Half Life, they are both running Source but look different. Blockland on another engine would look the same, the only thing you would notice is performance. By the way, if an engine change would happen we should hope for it to be Torque3D, because it is infact still Torque and uses TorqueScript, the majority of addons would still work, this way we would have an upgraded engine and many old things would still be compatible. However, if the point of changing the engine is to have superb/complete performance then something rather than Torque3D would be picked, however addons would need to be re-made from scratch. Remember that addons are what keep this game alive. |

dosnt it cost a stuffload of money to use the AAA engines? like more then blockland could even earn to make it worth while lol plus an upgrade like that wouldnt promise a return. its not like the world isnt buying blockland because they dislike torque or something. |

Anyways, it's not like someone considering buying Blockland really cares about what engine we use; it'd only really benefit us if anyone. |

add-ons are the least of your worries lol also keep in mind that fxdtsbrick would have to have either a replacement with the engine that performs at least as well or completely remade for the new engine. all the other features would also have to be re-implemented. |
