Touchscreen Support
Mr Queeba:
Now, Tablets are becoming dominant. Some are now running on windows 8 and stuff. With this craze going on, we need Touchscreen support for BL. Basically, touchscreen controls.

No, this is a fairly awful idea considering how Blockland works, you would have to have buttons all over the screen for building, controlling yourself would also get fairly confusing, not to mention Blockland's weapon system would require another 5 buttons. And don't even forget crouching.
This game has a lot more controls than Minecraft does, since I know you are going to point out Minecraft is playable on a tablet.
otto-san:
building could be done relatively well if tapping on the screen would place the temp brick there, then you could have a building control set mode or something, maybe gestures for rotation and shifting
obviously people using tablets will be at a general disadvantage at all times, that's just a drawback of touchscreen gaming.
bl is definitely not designed for it though
Boink!:
I dunno guys I think it would be pretty cool to dm with the gyroscope or something

I highly disagree with this statement because PC's still have plenty more capabilities then tablets ever will. Also, blockland has a large amount of keys which makes it great but also make it almost unplayable on a touchscreen. The only thing tablets are really dominating is the extreme low end PC market.
