If you have a CPU with Intel Integrated graphics, you can't use shaders. You can pick up a decent GPU for not that much and get shadows/shaders. Blame Badspot I guess.

ok thanks wrapper

Blame Badspot I guess.

you want to blame badspot for using some neat functionality that some of the better graphics cards support?
if you only did what the worst can handle, you wouldn't have a game rendering the way it is now, it would probably be text based on a command line

No this is just ridiculous, and we should blame the devs. This isn't a functionality that is demanding a good graphic card, this is a functionality that is picky about your graphic card. I can run, for exemple, L4D2 with max settings at a 2k resolution and still get good framerate, yet blockland shadows are just too much for my computer. Absolute bullstuff.

I'm pretty sure you're just being a dumbass here
I'm only blaming the devs for making a fun game, there may be small faults to it based on people's hardware, but that is asking for a lot for something to be consistent across inconsistent platforms
and I don't run L4D2 at such high settings, yet shadows are fine for me

In L4D2 you aren't rendering 10k+ objects are you?
In Blockland you have to cast shadows for each and individual bricks, putting a lot of work on the graphics card.
So Intel Graphics won't be powerful enough to run Blockland with shadows.
