Blockland Physics

#21 Oh my word! Fully destructible buildings! *drools*

Very well done, sir.

#22 Very cool! Reminds of Boomblox too, kinda like a Lego Boomblox :D

#23 Looks great. Love it.

#24 How many years am I behind that I have never heard of any physics engine being fully, or at least to a playable/usable point being integrated in Torque!? I mean, holy crap this is AMAZING I always wanted physics in Torque and never thought it'd be possible but this is just proof packed in to an FLV file!

Seriously though, I had no idea...

EDIT: Give it some time and LEGO will offer you millions if not billions for this, DON'T DO IT!!!

#25 Dude, I love blockland and you just made it even more awesome!

I would totally buy blockland, but im outta cash...

#26 @Kevin: doubtful, turns out the first thing people build when you let them build anything in a multiplayer setting are giant penises. If I was LEGO, I'd be wary of it since it would be nearly impossible to make it "kid safe." For instance, in their MMO they are probably not going to allow free-form building for just this reason.

But it's a good niche.

#27 Yeah, they did that with Spore, it did die down after a while though (I think, I don't tend to go around searching google for this kinda stuff ya' know :-D) afterall, theres only so many penis-aliens you can make in any one game right?

Haven't heard of anything like that from Little Big Planet yet though?

#28 I'm certain that someone, somewhere, is making representations of genitalia in LBP.

#29 lol, yeah, I am too, I just meant I haven't heard of it in any of the gazillion game dev/news feeds I'm subscribed too (unless I've totally missed it), which makes me wonder (if right) how they've prevented the publicity of something that is such an inevitability? I mean it didn't even take 2 days before it happened to spore in spades.

The only heat I've heard on LBP is the song that got removed because it quotes a passages from the quran! uk.gamespot.com/news/6199562.html. Then again, perhaps that statement only proves the point even more of the risks of free-creativity games... :S

#30 I think the risk is in people not being clear on what's "user created" and what's not. If I print out a racist pamphlet on my printer at home, they don't go after Canon when someone is offended. There should be a way to do a game that works the same way.

#31 So true! Just like you can't sue adobe for indesign or dreamweaver should people use it to make pamphlet in question. I guessed entertainment is treated differently in that respect. Especially games where I still hear people say they get weird looks like as if they said porn when they reveal they make games. The image / stigma / youth of the medium so to speak.

Isn't it possible to just add a disclaimer in the EULA / terms & conditions (although, of course, this doesn't stop people blaming the developer), but it covers you legally.

Funny enough, similar thing has happened in animal crossing, with someone sending out media versions of the game where the character (a sheep) has been taught to end every sentence with the word ni**a. Of course, the difference with this story is that it was user-generated contented included in Nintendo's media copies (at least that's what they say). uk.gamespot.com/news/show_blog_entry.php?topic_id=26696329

Quote:Nintendo: "We regret that an offensive phrase was included without our knowledge via a wireless function that allows user-generated catchphrases to spread virally from one game to the next.

#32 Thats AWESOME! I'm loading up blockland to start building my giant physics penis RIGHT NOW!

#33 Ben Garney, Racist, CONFIRMED!

#34 Good god man, this looks like every boy's wet dream!
