Jack Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Blockland: That game where you build stuff.Website.Blockland was made by Eric 'Badspot' Hartman in ~2007. You build with lego-like pieces on maps made with .ter, .map, and .dif files. The game has full modding API support and around 20,000 active players.GameplayIn Blockland, you can build whatever you want, including complex circuits and deathmatch arenas. The game has an event system, a drag-and-drop modding API (extra emphasis), brick physics, and particle emitters. You can drive around cars, planes and boats. Oh, and it has online too. It's like Garry's Mod with legos.Badspot on a pirate ship.ACM City.Mocheeze(?) at Badspot's Block Party.A Blockhead in a tunnel.An AWM I made.Does anybody here play it?

jangofett287 Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 I don't, because I've played Roblox, I've seen what happened to it (became more and more commercial, too commercial, it pushed out the free players), and this is basically the same thing.

Jack Posted July 24, 2011 Author Share Posted July 24, 2011 Blockland is a one-time purchase and has one admin, the gameplay is very similar, but the community is different. Plus the main reason most people play Blockland is for deathmatches and modding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matty406 Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Same experience as Jango, Roblox has just became a, and pardon my french, a d**k swinging contest.However what I must say is that Blockland appears to have nicer graphics what with the DOF there. I'm sure I gave it a spin some time back but never stayed with it. I might just give it another go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Posted July 25, 2011 Author Share Posted July 25, 2011 Blockland was first released in 2004, and Roblox was released in 2005. Not saying that Roblox copied Blockland, but it's GUI was suprisingly similar. At the current update the games are far from alike in terms of building style, and the way multiplayer works.

ElementalChaos Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 This game is infinitely better than ROBLOX, but the community is simply a bunch of douchebags.Minecraft is a better alternative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Phoenix Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Blockland was created by a single man, Eric Hartman. It uses the Torque engine, and there is no way in HELL it copied Roblox, which uses who-knows-what as a game engine, and was made by a company of many employees. They are two completely different species, they couldn't copy each other. You are an idiot if you bring Minecraft into this, Minecraft is COMPLETELY different and incomparable. I am sick and tired of these arguments.Anyways, I play Blockland because I was finding ROBLOX to be a bit...annoying...at age 11, it had weird looking graphics compared to Blockland from my perspective, and i was tired of the guests destroying my builds. EDIT: removed prices because I guess it counts as advertising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
