However, the engine still has limits. We could just keep supplying weapons and vehicles but people then realize that it gets a little boring, and we need updates to get people motivated again. We don't have full control of the game by add-ons and it's up to the creator to add more possibilities. After all, the game is old now and should just be remade or abandoned.
Exactly.
Perhaps I should have been clearer. Sub Rosa is an early access game currently, and the post was one of a few about changing engine to something more mainstream, since the game is on a small, independent engine for a blocky style.
The point I was making is more to point out how stupid suggesting an engine change off hand is.
I would hardly call those game changing, barring vehicle physics, and even then there are ways around most of them. Regardless most of those seem to be deeper/fundamental issues in the game that might not be fixable quickly.
Also you have a very negative view of the community. Most modders and addon makers are content with the response they get from the community, I can't think of anyone else who left for that reason. Ephi seemed to think he deserved more I guess.
An early access game? How the forget? Not sure how you get a comparison out of that besides the engine change remark, and I know blockland is never gonna do it. Yeah. Not gonna happen. I know. :(
I
did mention the 18 months that it would probably take, right? Therefore it wasn't exactly an off-hand suggestion.
Also, all of those are game changing IMO. Mainly because they have bothered me for ages.
Can you offer your creative solutions around these?
How on earth has this game gotten such a disgustingly entitled community? This is literally the only place I've ever seen this problem, jesus.
Probably because games like G-Mod and other games with the same payment style as Blockland have set up expectations to be updated once every 6 months at least? And other communities don't feel entitled this way because they actually GET those updates?
