What if we give donate money to Badspot for Blockland in New Torque Engine 3D?

[Furling²]

I would believe a small team working on converting the game over would cost a lot more thab $10,000, especially if it is a full time job for them. If you had 10 people working on the game, and you bay them a basic livable wage of $26 an hour, thats about 10k per week of casholas spent.

Even then, the process wouldnt be profitable at all.

Are you suggest that We could raise $10k to $50K or $100k? I think best if we could raise money about $50k funds for upgrade to new engine.

You do realize T3D is free, right? It's not upgrading the engine that's the problem. It's making the game work IN the engine.

I mean, he'll take your money. He's not gonna switch Blockland over to Torque 3D though

Yeah, but it would still cost money for Badspot to spend his time making a game on T3D

That why I am suggest start this make fund for BL in future. I am sure Badspot will read this thread. I hope He will reply back. When he get fund money then he able start hire staff start work on his project blockland put in new T3D. That our highest demand.

[Jubel]

Our highest demand right now is an update that wont take another thousand years, which an engine swap would.
Furling, what you want doesn't really reflect what the community itself wants.

Yep. That why I need make sure which the community want. heedicalking wrote the list that what we want.
I can't find his post.

[otto-san]

only reason I'd imagine it could use a port is to redo the graphics to be less demanding. Blockland is by far the most demanding game I've ever played.

holy poopy butts are you serious
you must not have played many games

Little-known Fact: Betelgeuse is deaf and his English is light years ahead of Furling's. I remember hearing Furling has some mental disability.

Betel wasn't born deaf unlike Furling.

Betel wasn't born deaf unlike Furling.

I actually asked him earlier today because I was curious, he was deaf at 14 months.

the search for more money

[ZERØ]

I would like to donate money to Badspot, but not for the engine to be ported, because he already stated multiple times for many reasons he is not doing it.

Blockland being ported to Torque 3D has been suggested so many times, Badspot, or  Rotondo once explained why it can not be done so easily and if it where to be done it would be way too time consuming and it would take years to the point where just starting from scratch would be the only good option.

Not to mention getting it to run as smooth as it does now.

Anyways here is a bunch of threads that suggest Blockland being Ported to : Torque 3D, Source Engine, Unity, Cry Engine...ect.

There is more if you want to dig some more up, but  I don't want to waste my time doing that.

The money would should go to making shaders not hardware intensive hopefully, a Linux Version(This one is probably already being made as we speak though), and improvements, who wouldn't want a stronger master server? Or what if Blockland had its own Dedicated Server Hosting?

[Furling²]

I can't find heedicalking's post about list for new engine.

[SquartleTurtle]

even if we did donate to badspot he would probably spend it on rotondo commissions

holy poopy butts are you serious

Oh wait, no, planetside 2 is worse.
Here are some games I've played;

There are a few more not worth mentioning. You're right, I haven't.
