I See Blockland Is On Steam, And A New Developer?

[coolitic]

A couple days ago I noticed the game was on steam, but it also says that there are two developers, the new one being a guy named Ben Garney. What happened during my absence in blockland?

Ben Garney is Kompressor. He's been here for MANY YEARS. How long have you been away, man?!

Ben Garney=Kompressor.

If anyone wants background, he is the guy who helped Badspot do the difficult stuff, like the octo tree.

I always thought blockland was solely developed by eric hartman? AKA badspot. I do not remember a "kompressor"

EDIT: Also how do I connect blockland to steam?

^
why do those trees look super shaded

they looked like the soft shaders bricks without the shadows lol

[coolitic]

You mean the regular tree? What that have to do with octagons? And how is that hard?

they're interiors

Oct tree?

a tree that grows octagoons

a system that makes certain faces on bricks hidden by other bricks not render

it basically helps reduce lag a LOT

kompressor also helped with shadows and shaders and other low-level engine stuff

he's been a developer since the beginning of retail
