sad, i had some good times on it and met some cool people
was it the lighting update that killed it? or could it just not compete with the autism of minecraft or the modularity of roblox?
It was a long, painful process. >Maps being removed killed about half the playerbase right there. >RTB dying >Blockland got onto steam!... and then badspot proceeded to do nothing with the steam workshop or anything that could have breathed new life into the game. >Slow, painful decline as players gradually left
man there so many cool maps
i loved the guy who made those big gta remakes, he had a good selection but i forgot his name
what was badspot thinking? was dyanmic lighting really that important? player lights and emitter lights didnt even cast shadows!

Brickadia's potential was completely squandered by failing to recognize that mod support was integral to keeping it alive. There's no way you can seriously have one of these games without mods.
The troony admins and developers would've been easy to ignore had they just not forgotten this, and also the next part.
Why is it acceptable for adults to play nintendo games but not these two?
O remember playing blockland like 17 years ago when it was on the torque engine and making underground bases and shit. It was great.
Blockland's complete lack of censorship and laissez-faire moderation made it rather obvious that it was aimed more towards teenagers or adults compared to ROBLOX.
There were several penis weapons among other things, and the official steam release had a default gore add-on. It clearly was not trying to be kid friendly.
the Brickadia drama was 2 years ago and those pedo devs were fired when it happened, it's still brought up because Blockgang is formed by degenerate morons who keep on shilling old news to conservative boomers to try to make it seem the game is dangerous when in reality that drama was old and already resolved
as for modding, devs said UE5 and Unrealverse will allow for modding somewhat, but it's going to require waiting a while after early access releases for it to happen, combined with Epic's moronic policies, it's less Brickadia's fault and more or less Epic's fault for not allowing that kind of usability.
The pedo shit is secondary to the lack of mod support. >uhh but it's epic's fault not ours
No, it's 100% their fault for picking that engine. Until mod support is actually in, you can't hope to be a successor to any of the games mentioned in this thread. None of those excuses make sense when you consider that having add-on support would be your number one priority when making a game like this, after all most games with mod support get it in as early as possible.
blockland is dead and the remnants of its community are only the dredges who nobody liked
roblox is for making skinner boxes to extract money out of kids (same as gmod)
brickadia is formed by the aforementioned blockland dredges, except these ones also all groomed each other and tried to groom others.

i would hate my playerbase too if it was solely composed of hormonal skiddies
gmod, much like roblox, has all of its largest and easily accessed servers dominated by monetization schemes that are no different from what you'd see in the most israeli mobile games.
gmod is at least better about it than the others, but barely.
the blockland forum was genuinely one of the most autistic places on the internet
somethingawful + Ganker + lego game with a beginner-friendly scripting language.
we have BLF to thank for kiwifarms.
as long as you got the frick out of there before it went too far to shit then you're fine. just remember the good years and laugh at anyone still hanging around them.

now all the moronic teens had their own designated area to expose each other and have e-tantrums. what a moronic site.

easily badspot's most moronic decision was the drama forum.
you can talk all day about removing maps for the useless shaders but the community would've recovered if he didn't have this embarrassing desire for a drama topic for teens to expose each other over stupid shit no one cares about for.
weirdly, the rest of badspot's rules were probably some of the most sound rules i've ever seen.
And this was in game not in the forums, people kept the real creepy shit in game.
t. was later admin on the biggest CityRP server
>late 10s >too uncoordinated of a kid to consistently use the text chat >had it drilled in my head to never give anyone information about me as kid so wound up never using a forum
Boy did I dodge some bullets between these two games. My naivety allowed to play as a cool dragon in some fantasyRP world while being aloof to the degenerate garbage going on around me
I now understand why it seems like so many youths on the net these days are deranged
>I miss Return to Blockland and the "programmable" blocks it had.
v0002/RTB/TBM but we dont talk about TBM was honestly, surprisingly good as a building game and had a SHITLOAD of interactivity that I kinda missed in retail. Like, even just the editor wand in standard BL would have been fricking amazing.
Too bad the rest of it was a bit basic and shite, looking back.

>blockland
are you a pedophile, OP? Why are you playing kids-focused multiplayer games loaded with microtransactions?
>he says while posting a children's cartoon
Thats how they all are. They accuse others of what they themselves are guilty of.

Says the grown man avatar gayging as a 14 year old anime girl
The jokes write themselves.
>avatar gayging
A single reaction image is not avatargayging, newhomosexual.
shut up troony
do people still play this?
it was practically dead when it released on steam like 8 years ago
Nope. BL's actually, completely 100% dead now.
There's a grand total of 10 players online at the moment.
sad, i had some good times on it and met some cool people
was it the lighting update that killed it? or could it just not compete with the autism of minecraft or the modularity of roblox?
Whenever they removed maps, basically killed off all the servers I played on.
Just a downwards spiral from then.
man there so many cool maps

It died the moment they dropped the original aesthetic
wasnt the fanbase already infamous even before roblox was a thing?
infamous for what? it was a pretty standard online community far as i recall
Should I pick this up or wait for brickadia?
neither, brickadia is unironically run by pedophiles and trannies, and even if it weren't the lack of mod support is basically a death sentence.
Damn, guess there is no good sandbox game for brick building nowadays.

NTA, but VIP and other microntransaction bullshit is common on gmod servers. its just not inherent to gmod as a whole.

anyone who didn't expect this is either a child or moronic
I hate that ROBLOX is my childhood.

>just remember the good years and laugh at anyone still hanging around them
bro we're on Ganker
not him but where else is there to go
literally nowhere, the internet is dead forever.
>your ID is HIGHER than mine? CRINGE
>your ID is LOWER than mine? BASED
badspot gargles semen.
Man deleting maps really fricked this game, all the RPG servers i played died
I remember getting banned by the creator of this game on his other game age of time. Frick you Badspot, I still bought blockland
the blockland forum was genuinely one of the most autistic places on the internet
>null stalking a young girl
never forget

what year was this? i dont remember so many creeps back in 2008-2011
granted i tried to avoid the off topic section so maybe i just didnt see it

lmao thank god i stayed off of there, i can only imagine what those people are like now
ok thanks for the clarification, i was just a dumb free builder so i guess it attracted more kids/casuals fortunately
this was 2008-2013

You lucked out.
It's actually pretty funny the first gay man i ever talked to directly tried to groom me and get me to say dirty shit.
I am just lucky my desire to be an butthole always won out
>try to play blockland after playing roblox
>start the tutorial

I miss Return to Blockland and the "programmable" blocks it had. Covering my house with levers that moved, rotated or faded out walls never got old

What the frick, I was dragging a goddamn picture from my BL screenshots folder. it could have been way worse though, considering fit.
