When will this game be updated again?

[Zeblote]

So Badspot adds some hats or another stuffty gamemode. Not quite sure if that's going to help the population explode.

Hats might actually help, who knows...

I mean, didn't Rotondo hint that an update including new ways to customize your avatar would come around? Or was that false

[Makingblah]

None of that was my point.

Is it profitable to update the game, as in, will new content bring another 50k steam sales? To do it just for us for no reason is a waste of  professionals time.

Well, nothing is more profitable than a kids game. If Blockland was correctly marketed as an educational tool for teaching people how to code (which is going to become a big thing, trust me) I think it would bring lots of new players and greater potential for the game.

I actually cited Blockland in a presentation for my web development coursework and experience.

I did this as well in my first year of college!

A variable system should not be default due to its very easy ability to crash servers, either unintentionally by new players or intentionally by starfishs.

This was a problem with VCE. A correctly implemented system would not have these conflicts; they're easily avoidable. That being said, implementing a solid variable system is by no means an easy job.

My main point that I'm trying to drive across is that although Badspot may consider Blockland a finished game, I consider it a finished template for an amazing game. This game has a potentially incredible future, but I believe it will stagnate if action is not taken soon. EDIT: Oh, and that Blocklands most valuable asset is it's community.

Not directly. But keeping your current playerbase happier makes the game more populated. A reason a lot of multiplayer games don't get bought is because there's too few people playing it.

this. more people, more content, more likely someone just picking up the game will find something they like a lot online and friend some people ingame

The way I see it, the game doesn't need more updates.
Blockland needs more publicity to attract new players.


Off topic: Hey Stonebrick, long time no see!

Blockland's current content isn't enough to keep players
Example 1 - Example 2

A new person comes along, don't know how to do things on their own, goes to public server, doesn't know what's going on, gets bored, quits, never plays again

Blockland is an incredible educational tool.

mmmm

[Cheze]

Blockland should get some kind of update that will get the community active again, our community's only "crutch" would be Add-Ons, but this won't necessarily keep Blockland very active due to limitations and some things we can't do with Blockland. Despite that baddy will call us crybabies for this

Sup :D
Those Medieval RPG's were the stuff.

I gotta go with Masterlegodude on this one though.

it certainly would be nice unfortunately it's extremely doubtful that it will happen

yeah, imo blockland just isnt that engaging to the average player. its like garrys mod but with less content. obviously creative people who like the genre and legos will like the game, but it just doesnt have enough too it. the same way when minecraft only had a creative gamemode or something like that

[Frostbyte]

I'd personally really like to hear from badspot himself if he's going to update the game anymore aside form bugfixes or not, the community here seems very dedicated and giving out the source code might not be a bad idea to keep the game going so long as he still holds rights over it and everything.

[Makingblah]

It would make my day to hear Badspots opinion on this matter.

At least add something NEW, holy stuff
