Author Topic: Status on Retail Blockland? (Read 5744 times)

I was wondering what has become of retail Blockland that badspot is working on? It didn't get finished did it?

I'm hoping it includes stuff like
-Dynamic Lighting (day/night possibilities and cool shadow effects)
-New particle effects like rain and an update to the crappy snow particle effect
-More functionality with vehicles (better handling, create your own Lego vehicle, etc)
-Hoards of new bricks (palm leaves for tree creation would be cool!)
-Increased performance by leaps and bounds
-More detail in maps and more official maps

Also, what were the odds of it becoming freeware? I pledge to donate 100 bucks to badspot if he releases it freeware so we can get the damn thing already (probably not going to happen unless lots of people pledge to donate!).

I still want retail blockland to come out on Xbox Live Arcade. :) I think it would instantly become one of the most popular games on there. Marble Wars (another Torque game, actually TSE) is doing extremely well on XLA. I bought it a couple days ago and I've enjoyed the hell out of it.

Halo 2 is starting to lose popularity but, you should be glad you haven't bought an xbox 360.

Badspot said he will publish the game through Garage Games, maker of the Torque Engine, when it is ready. Their games go for around $20.

Not really, not unless you live in a poor town, where people don't have $400.

If you cant afford $400 you shouldnt be buying games at all.

The 360 supports any usb keyboard, and it shouldnt have problems pumping out the monster graphics in Blockland.
