Badspot's good, too. :P
On one hand, he did do a quality retail version, but on the other, he's not the best indie developer I've ever seen, and he sure as hell isn't sociable. Notch communicates with his community, a lot, which is larger than Blockland's community, and while most of this community is younger, there's no reason he can't answer questions or comment on suggestions to the base game or forum. Even ingame he rarely talks and it's either A. answering a question or B. a sarcastic comment. I mean, that doesn't specifically make him a BAD developer, but he really could communicate with us a little more, and answer some questions without being a rooster (because if he did answer this entire list I put faith on him skewing it to call me an idiot), like:
A. Why is the boat so horrid?
B. Why isn't there a decent Helicopter?
C. Why hasn't he fixed the issue Trader needed done for Elevators?
D. Why do the AoT forums still exist?
E. Why is there no servers subforum?
F. Where is GUI downloading?
G. Why is the Blockland HUD so static, why isn't there ways to print HUD elements without using bottom or side prints? Why not a HUDPaint function, like in Gmod Lua?
H. Why can't a server have a dedicated gamemode without needing a add-on?
I. Why did it take so long to add some more basic animations to blockheads?
J. Why isn't the clothing/attachments system more modular? Why haven't we seen more options?
K. Why are vehicle bounding boxes so loving terrible?
L. Why no streaming audio bricks?
M. Why no ENGINE upgrades?
and finally:
N. WHY IS THERE NO AMBIENT NOISE? No footsteps, engine noises, wind, birds chirping, breathing, anything? The silence is loving killing me. Christ, even that one video, "Physics In Blockland" had to edit in most of the audio effects.
