i started out playing blockland in like 2009 or something, and it got me into 3d modeling.. which got me into programming and modding.. and now a long time later i go to art school and i'm pretty sure that the countless hours spent working on blockland content made up for a lot of that. it's my 2nd year of school now and i'm still playing blockland and making stuff for it.
anyway i just thought this story would be inspirational for some folks here, 3d modeling is a really valuable and difficult skill and you'll learn a lot about other types of art from doing this!
