Dave revive blockheads again. Bring online servers back.

Miss your videos Dave, hope you are well

I'd say the sparkley effect is perfect at first but should settle down after a second like most similar animations.

Some feedback. Not sure where else to post it. This game feels like you're a leader of a tribe, and your job is to issue tasks and prioritize them. But for all it's impressive progress, it's still lacking in doing that effectively. For instance, if you have the idea that you want to collect all nearby branches, that easily takes 25+ clicks, scrolls and mouse movements. Because such a command doesn't exist, and the multi-selector only goes up to 50m, and doesn't allow a radius around the storage area. And many other things are like that. It feels like the primary tasks that you want to do are accidentally included as features, hidden far away. Secondly, finding new crops is very tedious. And if the crop isn't even in the camera's allowed zone, you'll have to do even more management to find it. I don't understand why there's not a scout role or something, that tries to find the crop, and is intelligent enough to eat before going, put on a cloth, take a sled with them (ideally the task should be issued on the sled) and default to returning in time for bed. Thirdly, the hotkeys are still very awkward. I can press 1-4 to quickly do a task, but if it's a small object like an aloe, it takes a lot of effort to click it so the point of the hotkey is moot, and then if you click to select the plant, there's no hotkey for multiselect or for 1-4 while you the radial menu up. Again, the point of making the commands is that you want some specific resource, and you almost always want the ones closest to a specific storage area. The reason the hotkeys are better than nothing is because it slightly reduces how tedious it is to issue the command you really want. Fourthly, there's still a lot of bugs where things can't be built unless you cancel the command and command it again. And like a sapien goes to bed for the night, and then another sapien is auto-assigned that task for 10 seconds. Or like your best sapien is taking a 20 second break from the task you specifically assigned and prioritized, and then a random unskilled sapien is auto-assigned the task instead. Maybe some of the assignment stuff is intended to be part of the hassle of your tribe ignoring your leadership sometimes, but it still feels disrespectful. There may be other things I forgot, but I largely enjoy the game and pick it up again once every six months. If the game starts focusing on actually being about juggling decisions than managing a GUI, then I would play it more, and invite friends to play it. Keep it up.

I would like to know if i could buy "TheBlockHeads" rights.

Will the blockheads ever coming back? In Android? Man, that game is a masterpiece

This looks great Dave! I’m a Blockheads game player and was trying to look into when or if an update would ever happen again for that game BUT ended up discovering you are the developer and learned about the game you’ve been working on and watched your videos on the game sapiens! Such hard work! It all looks great keep up the great work!!!

really inspiriting video man really gave me the motivation to work on my game some more, great video

fellow kiwi?

Blockheads 😢

Amazing game❤❤❤❤❤

This game is insan if it was finish

This is amazing dave please make it more better

We love you dave, number 1 fan hehe

Hi dave when are you going to make the block heads

lo malo que no tiene arma de fuego

I had no idea that the person who made sapiens also made blockeads that's crazy

bring back blockheads dave!!!

Kiwi accent is strong with this one

I want to see a streamer event where a bunch of streamers get together and the first streamer/alliance to get complete world domination gets like a prize, i think that would be really sick.

Hey Dave, Are you ever gonna update the blockheads? The game is nearly impossible to play with all the hackers.

Do you still remember the blockheads? Are you gonna plan to bring it back and turn back on the cloud servers?

I also applaud the work that has been done. This is a fun game.

This game is the reason why I'm keeping savings for a new PC.

Bring back the blockheads please

in english this game is completely addictive, very good and the best thing the developers did was the multiplayer, a server where many people can fit to create their tribes and villages. And why not their kingdoms and empires. but a fundamental part is missing, which is the combats between triples, both to capture and to enslave, but the game is very promising and I'm excited to play it a lot. So much so that I'm creating several series on my channel about it, both on the multiplayer server and when playing alone.

Wait what, multiplayer?! That's amazing! This could make this game very popular. I lost track, like 2 years ago I used to watch all of the devlogs back from the very first world creation engine video like 9 years back lol. It's really cool that you are continuing this project.

Someone told me about this game and I downloaded it on Steam for the $25 and I played for 2 hours and excited to keep exploring it!

Lovely game! just played for 2 weeks but really excited over where this is going! I only wish for some added mechanics around skills and equipment, its so satisfying to feel like you are actually investing in individuals and get to reap the benefit from that. As it is now its mostly traits that make an individual to stand out, be cared for and remembered as someone important, and traits are just luck. Maybe degrees of skills that can be passed on, that would mean children following their parents foraging would have accumulated some knowledge of plants when adult, and seniors would be great teachers.. Or some completely different idea!

Day 1 asking for chopper 3

The sleds make such a difference, great addition.

I freaking love rimworld. Will be adding this to my wishlist :)

hey i must say thank you for creating blockhead, it hacec been a huge part of my childhood and its still at this time. i know everything comes to an end...the same for blockhead. and even if this game is supposely a "ripoff" or terraria and minecraft, it might seem the same, but it does not feel the same. wish u luck on sapien and may blockhead rest in peace

I'm interested in playing your game, will it ever be on mobile?

Hello Mr Frampton, I know you are tired of blockheads comments. But I beseech you, that if you make blockheads an open source game, it will be able to make the game fresh and enjoyable. Please make this happen.

Why you dont play the game now

You should make blockheads open source… people love the game and want to keep it alive, it would cost you little to nothing and maybe would give life to an otherwise dead game

I stumbled across this game being played on KZbin a few weeks ago and since downloading it I am obsessed, was so stoked to see it was created by a fellow Kiwi too! As someone who's been playing Sims and Minecraft for years, this is such a nice in between, and I love that you have to build up to each stage. Can't wait to see how this continues to develop! Thanks for an awesome game and your hard work

I watched your devlogs when I was at University (studying game dev) starting in 2018. It's been great seeing the game grow and I purchased it on release but multiplayer is such an amazing feature. It's a perfect game for getting a group of mates in a discord call and just having a nice relaxing gaming session while still actually working towards something. Thanks for making it a reality.

Save ockheads servers please

Save blockheads pleazs

Can we have the family tree update? I want to make one of the settlers to become king and see how long his dynasty will last

Family tree would be awesome

Please make the family tree, and also we really want to have Kings and dynasties

4303 Hours of time played. Nice.

can you work on more then one tribe per map

I find the sleds to be a little anoying. It should be the last storage area people use when it's in your base, but its often the first. If you move it to something far away they don't seem to want to use it and I've had to make a storage area and move it from there to the sled. Not the worst, but a little anoying. Over all I like the update

Great game. Super chill! Some thoughts about what could be a good addition: Any chance we can make a hunting group so the mammoth isnt attacked by 1 guy? Worst case 1 elder slow walking guy that auto assigned to hunting Can we have something like the AutomatedRoles Mod? Its odd to see elders chase a alpaca instead of a fit adult. Tasks that can be self assigned to all 3 Kinds, child, adult, elder If we manage multiple bases / outposts we kinda need somethink to prevent people walking a far way to do a job which got the priority mark - sadly i have no clear idea how this could be implemented. Radius zones over the base to limit the walk distance could have bad side effects - Rimworld reference here, there we can add work zones to people in the colony Starting new can be a test in patience, is even faster forward possible? There are some mods for this but they break quite easy and get deleted out of the latest safe right after crashing.

Right where the part with the "there are probably no crashes" was, the game crashed lol PS: It was when I clicked "manage relations with tribe"

All the best man . The trailer looks amazing 😃
