Here be screen grabs a the entire world (broken up into three images) at about 7:30 eastern time (after it had been wiped clean a few times). I know people kept going, so who knows how far up they went.

Thanks for helping me test things out. There be some strange glitches for sure. Probably caused mostly by the blocks, which I just threw in last minute t' give ye all something t' do.

The "real" game probably wont have free-placement a blocks like that. But instead ye would be creating the buildings 'n objects t' go inside them.

god dammit i be right up in that last part too

it be really cool so far. How long do ye think it will take before it be more playable?

Reply by Fortran Dec 31 2012 01:02 GMT

ill probably do another round a fixes t' the current game so ye can keep messing around with it. Then I'll add more levels 'n building interiors.

i know this be an early beta but when be ye going t' add something fun because so far all yer updates just made it lamer

Reply by Fortran Jan 01 2013 09:38 GMT

yeah, i agree...i be even having a little fun when we had infinite blocks, but now there's nothing t' do. i cant even consider this an alpha anymore, it be less than that now

Reply by Nastasia Jan 01 2013 09:45 GMT

ye might want t' incorporate some form a authentication in yer connection code Cap'n Francis. Right now it be pretty easy t' impersonate another user (as well as steal any blocks in their inventory) just by tweaking the username 'n avatar variables passed t' the game page.

Reply by Gold Prognosticus Jan 01 2013 15:28 GMT

Sorry, infinite blocks be making the game unplayable for a lot a people. 'n I thought a limitation on inventory would help encourage teamwork 'n more thoughtful creations. it be also more realistic. like ZombiU, ye can only carry so much stuff.

Reply by Francis Jan 01 2013 16:54 GMT

At the very least the block count needs t' be increased. 50 blocks be only just enough t' build the walls a a small room 'n some minor decorations.
'n technically, limiting the number a blocks per player won't permanently solve the issue a the map getting flooded - if enough people use the game (or if one person connects multiple times under different usernames), each with 50 blocks that they place in the world, the map will eventually fill up anyway.

Reply by Gold Prognosticus Jan 01 2013 17:14 GMT

limited blocks be a good idea, but not when there's no way t' pillage more. it works in minecraft 'n terraria because the world be made a them, so ye can always pillage more. we can't do that in betalands, so all we can do be run until we hit a wall.

Reply by Fortran Jan 01 2013 23:04 GMT

I would rather have an unlimited skybox than unlimited blocks t' be honest, if anything pillage rid a the skybox limit

Reply by Fallen Shade Jan 01 2013 23:07 GMT

I think the world size certainly needs t' be bigger, but I don't think it need t' necessarily be infinite, after all Cap'n Francis said he'd be doing multiple rooms eventually.
