Rise of Blockland

[Blaze0]

So this is not an official announcement that I'm definitely doing anything, but I'm thinking about going back and doing Rise of Blockland over again with all the nice things about programming and software design that I've been learning in my fancy college classes. This topic is kind of an exploratory "market research" to test what I think I know and remember about the project.

What ever happened to this? It was a fantastic low-maintenance gamemode that tons of people enjoyed.

Also I have no idea what it is or what happened to it. Bump so other people can see this.

I really want this back. I'm not sure if it's my favorite game mode of all time, but it's definitely in the top 5.

Quite frankly if he's not gonna bring it back, he should release it, or at least release a watered down version of the add-on.

What was this? Can't say I've ever played it.

I'm sure other people noticed the thing that's underlined.

An easy way to describe it would be "A City/Town RPG done right."

I would attempt to fully explain it, but I can't without writing a novel.

I should really keep an outbox because I just had a PM convo about this not too long ago.

First, thanks to RingsOfSaturn for telling me about this thread.

Second, I'm super-busy finishing my college degree. When I'm not doing that I'm wasting my life on youtube and video games.

When I'm not doing that, all "productive free time" is spent on learning a serious grown-up technology, specifically for the purpose of trying to make something that can be of use to Blockland mod creators. I've been chipping away at it for almost 2 months and I'm getting close to the point that I can actually start working on the project itself, rather than learning the tools. I'll probably want feedback from scripters as I'm putting it together, so expect an announcement someday in the coding help forum.

I really liked Rise of Blockland too and I would like to revisit it (or something very much like it) but for now my plate's full.

edit: oh, right, I need to explain why I don't "just release it": Major patches have completely broken RoB, and the codebase is bad enough that starting over from scratch would be about as much work as trying to retrofit it so that the bookkeeping stuff worked again. I don't want anyone trying to build anything out of it because it's a total mess.

What about an open-source release? (long shot)

Drama will be the fall of blockland
