I actually do hope something big is planned
This game had a good and successful 10 years, prior to Steam, i'm not saying i don't appreciate this game or all the work that's gone into it, but from the perspective of the Steam community, this game's development feels pretty dead, there's only been about 12 updates that were mostly bug fixes since it released on Steam
Think about it, the Steam community doesn't have the kind of history with this game as most people here do, so they're probably wondering why there hasn't been any new or amazing things added to this game since it's 'release' or why the dev team is so quiet, inactive, and hardly ever post the update news on the game's Steam news page
They don't even know (or care) about the jump this game took for the shadows and shaders update, some of those people can't even experience that because the shadows either slow their game down too much, or their graphics card isn't able to support it, so they're stuck with this simplistic block building game with vertex lighting and glow in the dark textures and the player's light super-brightens a large portion of the ground plane in first person
There isn't any links to the forums for add-ons or help, Blockland's help menu doesn't mention how a Steam user can start a dedicated server, there isn't a link to the game's Steam page in-case you're playing the non-Steam version, it also says how to start a game using the old pre-v21 menu
Things like what i've said is why most people just take a glance at this game, goof around a bit and never touch it again, if you want to keep newcomers interested, you have to keep up the work to show that it's still alive and is a game with effort being put into it that will be worth your time and money
