"release an update with new bricks/weapons? it'll probably get the game back up to at least 100 players"
"Updates are so rare now and it'd be a fresh game with returning or maybe even new players"
"This game is basically dead."
Download some mods. Or some friends for that matter. That's what makes it fun. This game isn't dead, and won't be until the majority of its player-base stops saying it's dead under a false pretense that "60 players equals dead game lol" and the internet crumbles to ash as a whole. Seriously. I still see new players joining the fun and old players alike coming back to the game even if it's being overshadowed by the new and shiny Brickadia. I've been playing for a solid 5-6 years and don't think it will ""die"" anytime soon. I took a 3-year long break and came back with a majority of the player-count still standing strong. If you honestly believe Blockland is dead, you've got a genuine issue with how you perceive a NUMBER on a menu that is one click away every time you boot it up. Even at the crack of dawn I still see a handful of players, so I feel like people can genuinely settle down on the matter as a whole. Not to mention a now almost seven year-old article about a game where you build stuff.
You've got some hot takes, and I love the way you casually dismiss overrated anime despite their respective rabid fanbases. Neon Genesis Evangelion being a good example.
Also to the above commenter: Nobody actually cares about Jojo. It's just a stupid meme.
No idea why I started playing this back in 2006/7/8/whenever it was, but I remember completing that grappling hook challenge tower and getting in trouble with the law for being naked for 0.4 seconds. I'm stunned it's still here (sort of).
Is there a demo of the game I could try out and download? I would like to give this game a shot and I'm willing to give feedback on this project if you can.
understandable, unless the game grabs you its not going to be a very good experience. same goes for something like bloodborne. theres immense levels of satisfaction on par with something like a hell run in spelunky. but it is presented through mechanics that not everyone will agree with.
I have never played dark souls. It honestly doesn't look very fun, looks very slow and punishing with long commit times to attacks and arbitrary boss patterns to memorize.
i hope i can be at peace someday. anyway, i'm still going to tell the rest of you guys to reconsider suicide, even though i genuinely don't care, and no one will listen to me anyway. we would all probably be happier dead. hope it doesnt hurt too bad tho
The server runs on a VPS instance that I need for other purposes, so putting AoT on it as well doesn't really cost anything. A few years ago I set it up to automatically restart once a week and I haven't checked on it since.
It's an oddly comfy feeling walking around this game's world as the only one online, playing through it just as players would have fourteen years ago. Even more interesting is reading through old forum posts from 2006-2008 as what's become the game's lore, visiting forgotten locations and learning about old groups of players. I wish I could have been a part of this game's community in its creation, but instead I get to enjoy it as something completely different- a virtual fossil lost to time, somehow still clinging to existence. Is there a reason you still keep its ghost server running over a decade since last updating it?
Hi, thanks for this phantastic game. It's absolutely beautiful, nice work! I encountered a problem when I play in ultra widescreen 2560x1080, aspect ratio 21:9 (fullscreen). At the end of level 1-3 in the room with Daisy I am not able to reach her like there is a hidden wall. Must be a problem with this resolution I think. When I play in full HD 1920x1080 everything is fine. Are there any plans to fix this? Cheers!
Wow! Thanks so much for this, i've been wanting to commit for about the last year, my dad is a horrible person and my life is horrific, I just want to leave this world peacefully so thank you so much <3 Goodbye Piece of shit world
@Mister Lonely - The biggest thing that made Blockland great and fun was that people could make their own maps with interiors. In these maps you had the chance to unleash your fantasy and make a space, planets, medieval or city map with lots of fun places to discover.
Check out this trailer video about a space map I made in Blockland Classic Mod. Blockland Classic Mod is an upgraded version of the prototype Blockland with Retail-like features and style.
Eve is terrible. I'm sorry to say this, but the game mechanics and UI make you feel like you are at a computer desk job, clicking through endless lists of processes for little blinking icons. You can't really fight a space battle zoomed in, you have to be way zoomed out and watching the numbers on the general window and then BAM some autistic faggot rolls in and blaps the fuck out of your shit and you're out 100m isk with no recourse. It's irritating to play. It feels more like a job than a game.
Hey, in response to https://badspot.us/img/Guile-HD.htm:
I'm pretty sure that SNES sprite you use as a comparison needs to be scaled to 4:3 aspect ratio, to correctly show how it was intended to be displayed on CRT. You will find that the size of the sprite becomes wider and will match the size of the arcade and Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix sprites.

I've been playing blockland for the longest time now, and it's a great game (besides all the toxic players), but the game seems to be untouched at this point. I remember when there were 200+ players every day, but now its just cut down to 60 or less, maybe you could release an update with new bricks/weapons? it'll probably get the game back up to at least 100 players
Updates are so rare now and it'd be a fresh game with returning or maybe even new players if you do get the time to, and decide to update it.
Though, im not demanding this, this is just a recommendation. Thanks for reading.
