Blockland From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Blockland Blockland Logo Developer(s) Eric Hartman Publisher(s) Step 1 Games LLC Designer(s) Eric Hartman Engine Torque Game Engine Platform(s) PC, Macintosh Release date(s) November 2004 (Freeware) February 24, 2007 (Retail) December 16, 2013 (Steam) Genre(s) Sandbox Mode(s) Single-player, LAN, Multiplayer Blockland is a single and multiplayer computer game built on the Torque Game Engine, in which players build using Lego-like building blocks.[1] It was developed by Eric "Badspot" Hartman and was released on February 24, 2007.[2] The game is not endorsed by, or affiliated with the Lego brand. However, at one point, Lego was in talks with Eric about selling Blockland.[3] It was spotlighted on The Screen Savers[4] on February 11, 2005, drastically increasing the user base overnight. As of March 2014, the game's community consists of almost 100,000 users[citation needed] who have purchased Blockland. Blockland has also been featured on Shack News.[5] On December 16, 2013, Blockland was released on Steam after spending nearly a year on Steam Greenlight. Gameplay Blockland is a non-linear open world game with no set goals, giving players the freedom to design and construct elaborate structures. Styled as a tiny minifigure, players build inside of the virtual world using bricks reminiscent of toy blocks. These structures can be built in either a single-player or multiplayer (either online or through a local area network) setting. Any player who buys the game is able to host a standard server, able to hold up to 100 players, however that depends on internet connectivity. There have been a few instances of servers with over 100 players. Using tools included in the game, a player can change the properties of individual bricks, having the ability to adjust their lighting, particle emitters, specularity, color, and spawned items. Blockland also features destructible vehicles,player controlled npcs, a selection of weapons, saving and loading of player creations, semi-automated construction through macros, and a mini-game system. The minigame system enables users to create configurable and self-contained gameplay modes.[6] These can range from a simple deathmatch to a custom-modded zombie survival game. Implemented in Blockland is a trigger and event-based system to create basic interactive objects. Players can apply input and output operators to bricks to accomplish different things in-game such as operable light switches, missile launchers, collapsing brick structures, or arcade-like games such as Pong or Breakout. In version 11, a new physics feature was included in an attempt to bring a more realistic aspect to the game. This can be seen when a brick structure is blown up using weapons or events. The physics quality can be lowered to work smoother on slower machines, or can be turned off entirely. Demo Included on the official Blockland website is a free download of the demo version of Blockland. While allowing players to experience many features from the full version of Blockland, players are limited to loading default builds and cannot load any third party add-ons or saves. Some saves which come with the game are under the demo brick limit and allow new players to explore some of Blockland's features; builds such as the 'Demo House' 'Demo Blockland Sign' and 'Demo Pong' for example are available as demo examples of eventing and lettering. Included in the demo is a tutorial in which the players can learn the basics of Blockland. You may also jump in to several pre-created maps for you to explore and build in. The demo also does not allow online play, limiting players to single-player games. It is, however, possible to join LAN servers created by owners of the full version. As of August 9, 2012, with the release of shadows and shaders, the brick limit was removed so players can now build with the amount of bricks they want, but are restricted to use add-ons or saves that are in the game by default. The demo version is upgraded to the full version when a unique activation key is purchased from the Blockland website and authenticated through the game. I don't know why everyone who plays ROBLOX hates this game, personally i love it.

Well, in ROBLOX, you have to pay for everything (Counting real life $ and In-game currency) but in Blockland, you just buy the game, and that's it

@Above I don't have the full version yet, but my mom bought the order form version of it, and the redeem code is coming to her e-mail. I still have a great idea of the full version/multiplayer though, as i have watched videos of the full version. A TON of videos.

The servers take long to download if they are a complex mod and it's kind of hard to find mods.

I still think Blockland is cool, though. Like those free-building servers, are good.

roblox isn't that complex and you don't have to pay for EVERYTHING. you can play, forum, chat/pm, buy clothes, build, join groups, and much more all for free.
