  1. I just found pristine KryoFlux streams for the 5.25inch 360K Blockout diskette and thus upgraded my personal library, as well as this entry on the Internet Archive. Blockout is a true icon of 80s retro gaming!

  3. RE: mastodon.social/@muzej/1169653

    @muzej yes, I remember Polish-sounding names in the credits of the #BlockOut DOS game. I enjoyed that game very much. Great distraction as a student before exams. I think I can still play it reasonably well. It's like the bicycle, once you've learned it, the mechanics are in the fingers. BlockOut2 is a faithful re-implementation. But the tradeoff between leaving holes and stacking too far up is in the head...

  6. I'm so happy I could finally add both original boxes for BLOCKOUT to my retro collection! - Versions for the IBM-PC and the Amiga! These are pretty rare in 2025! 😎

  7. Another ancient floppy disk, I had been tracking down for years: BLOCKOUT for the IBM-PC on a single, 5.25 inch 360K double density diskette. It's basically a 3D version of TETRIS and it's awesome!

    Have fun, everyone! 😜

  9. Hey two dimensional (but wonderfully complex :) ) people of #godot, when you're early stage platformer level building, do you #blockout with ? #gamedev

  10. I saw this awesom tutorial from @stayathomedev and it inspired me to start working on my Kaiju Game idea again, I had like years ago.

    This time I try to get the sense of scale and the aesthetics right before I start implementing any gameplay... let's see where this will get me.

  14. Blockout was a puzzle video game, an unlicensed, 3D version of Tetris, published in 1989 by California Dreams. Back in the day, this was a bit of a curiosity... but I loved it!

    Today, I just unpacked a very nice, boxed copy of Blockout for the Amiga. Looks like everything is complete and in good condition. So far, I only ever owned the loose diskette and manual, so this is a nice upgrade!

    If you want to play, I already uploaded the game to The Internet Archive a while ago. Amiga and MS-DOS disks and manuals!

    Have fun!

  15. Blockout в разработке игр: Зачем тестировать уровень до добавления деталей

    В процессе разработки игровых уровней одним из самых важных этапов является blockout — базовый черновик уровня, который создается из простых геометрических форм. Это основа для будущего уровня, позволяющая протестировать механику и структуру на ранней стадии разработки. Blockout — это не просто временная заготовка, а инструмент, который помогает разработчикам создать качественный и сбалансированный геймплей до того, как будут добавлены визуальные элементы. Рассмотрим подробнее, почему blockout столь важен и как он помогает улучшить игровой процесс.

  16. Macklemore going all in, city by city, he is speaking to the crowds at his show about Palestine and joining the #blockout movement (unfollowing any celebrity or influencer on social media not raising awareness about the genocide in #Gaza:

    Keep on rocking in the free world.

  17. Watching #TikTok, it is exciting to see so many folks with significant followings supporting #OperationOliveBranch, a campaign to give direct aid to Palestinians, most immediately to assist them in escaping the dangers of the #WestBank.

    At the same time the #Blockout campaign has folks blocking celebrities not speaking up for #Palestine. The tides are turning on the zionist movement.

    Thank you to all the students who have helped to bring attention to Palestine. 🇵🇸

  18. Beginning to make a start plotting and blocking out the inside spaces of the player's home base - very early days but it's fricking massive 😅

    Hi ppl, what is your fav way of quickly blocking out items/sceneries etc?

    Been struggling with that recently.

    A lowpoly approach doesn't work too well, since lowpoly is my final format, and I have trouble holding course and not gradually slip into final detail.

    Having some rough block and scribbling grease pencil on the walls also didn't work well (no tablet, no drawing person).

    So what I did, is what I call "cardboard approach"! Just planes + solidify:

  21. A new 300dpi scan of the BLOCKOUT manual for Amiga, MS-DOS, Macintosh, etc. is now available on archive.org! Have fun!

  22. Working on blocking out my first large portfolio scene in blender!

    I had this idea to do a series of images of various vegetables cannibalising themselves. Sort of a social commentary on things nowadays.

    In this one potatoes are gorging themselves on French fries, only to be dragged off once large enough to themselves become fries! #deep 😂

    What do you think of it?

    Will probably work on the potatoes or the deep fryer next.
