Sell Blockland to a bigger developer? (or someone else)

[Zeblote]

But then the new developer will get that money, not badspot. So he will lose his source of free money.

He would get a nice lump sum for it, though.

no.
simply selling off the game to another dev will create a lot of issues, and may potentially alienate players if they take the club penguin/roblox route and put you behind a massive paywall.
oh, wanna play a server? buy the server pass for $20, which will let you play online for 1 month. wanna place more than 1 brick? buy the more bricks dlc for $20. wanna customize your avatar? buy the $10 avatar customization dlc.
yea i think you see what im thinking

no

doesnt work like this since he cant just sell his rights to the game engine to someone else.

probably could do it with enough work but like its a lot of work for a 10 year old dying (?) game

[MoltenKitten]

The only parts of this game I consider unfinished are only that way because of engine limitations but a change of engine would be way more effort than it's worth

basically what happened to the ship. game got sold, rights to things used in it didn't. immediately killed it because too many people didn't bother to fix the server list themselves.

no one would wanna pay a lump sum for BL.

Come on though, don't you want the Blockland: Late Night and Seasons expansion packs?!

[Potatoh]

I don't think someone would wanna develop a game with a community full of teenagers and edgy kids

Implying there is anything to develop.

The game is finished.

Oh let's see... More functions to change the player? Such as disable jumping/crouching/jetting, change datablock preferences like how we did with the movements, have some of the dlls by default (Selective Ghosting, Collision, Lua, etc.). There's a lot to develop here.

Blockland is not finished. Where did you find that it was finished?

I can literally do all this already. Except the crouching animation but I have made it so it's impossible to crouch under bricks though.
