Blockland Prototype

In Future War, I discovered many of the limitations of the Torque engine and my ability to produce content. I decided that I needed a simplified game mechanic and graphical style, something that I could easily achieve working by myself. Future War had a deployable system similar to Tribes, and I had made some of the items snap to a grid for easier placement. The fun of building little forts with cubes of rock that snapped into place inspired me to make a lego themed game. Originally I had plans to make it a fort wars type of game with alternating building and combat rounds, but the free building mechanic turned out to be fun on its own.

Press Coverage

Blockland became quite popular and was featured on G4 TV and in some magazines.

The official download link got taken down years ago.
You can still find it on the internet though; just do a bit of google searching.

@random
Why do you want the download link to the prototype version of Blockland? The real version is available, you can get the demo version for free, or pay I think $10 for the real version.

@Dave- He just wants to see the original game played compared to the retail version.

gay2016-04-12 21:55:29

if any of you miss this shit just play on RTB. theres a server that is hosted 24/7 by Antares, Vitawrap, or Sephiroth. community is small, but its cozy.

In response to user "gay"

If anyone is interested, there are still downloads for 0002 (RTB, TOB, TBM, AIO, DTB etc). A simple precise google search will suffice.

Remember, badspot does not control the master server used by alpha blockland. It is the garagegames test server; all games generally use it before they make their own master servers.

Princetheking2019-04-29 12:01:52

Wasn't this the v9 model

Badspot2019-04-30 22:26:43

No, all lego stuff was removed before retail release.

Failsafe2019-06-03 19:52:19

KaizoTrap2021-12-04 23:16:33

its sad you leave Blockland

KaizoTarp2022-01-23 20:41:51

yeah...

Daniel.S2022-06-29 23:43:03

It's mad to see that this is where it all started :')

TSR2024-04-17 20:57:47

RIP the best game i ever played that made Legos with friends so much fun i will never forget you
yeah devs don't care about about it but good it died on a good note and a simple times

2024-11-15 06:36:18

To think at one point this game was on magazines and tv only for it to never take on. I remember seeing an article from 2005 describing you as an aspiring young developer with knowledge beyond your years.
I can't even bring myself to hate you, you're just too pathetic sitting there drawing your goonslop when you really could've had it all

2024-11-15 11:56:50

who cares

Matthew N Bennett2024-11-20 03:06:32

I really don't understand the mindsets of those who attempt to get intimately involved in the lives of other people on the internet. Whether or not Badspot has lived his life according to your standards, do you think anyone actually cares? Do you think it means something when you tell him on his personal blog that you personally don't approve of the choices he's made in life?

It's the proverbial manifestation of that "I feel bad for you" scene from Mad Men into reality. Sorry that the obscure sandbox game that you based your entire identity around didn't have a gazillion year run, buddy.
