ADMINPROP


OLDMTNGUY

It seems that OMG passed away. We had now and then private e-mail contact but today i got a Mailer Daemon: my message could not be delivered: <oldmtnguy@cox.net> recipient rejected.

Jim i am so sad and i miss you! Now your horrible 15 years ongoing disease has finished.
Rest in health my friend.

  And lets not forget about Jump Gear 2 hitting 2 Million plays!

  That's awesome! We're hitting quite some milestones in the near future: 10000 BB levels, lvl id 40000.

  currently is 1000100!!!
Binary Number!! (68)

  Lets all make levels to celebrate!

  That's amazing!

  1 million...

  Holy, 1 million plays, currently is 999733!!!

  We're so close to 1 million plays!

  omr your songbook is fantastic!!! an honour to everyone.

  Joyeux Noel! Merry Christmas! Buon Natale!

  Happy Holidays!

  today we are 385 days away from dec 31 2019. this is exact the number we are away from level n. 10.000. so one level a day and this magic mark will be reality.

  it's named:Song of Myself (BLockoban)

  There is no Song of oldmanrob level. I think it should be! :-)

  Wow, this game has almost 10,000 levels which is pretty impressive. Thank you to all the designers to keep this game alive, I have enjoyed every single level that I've played. So, keep it up! I'm working on a big series, The Colors Challenge series, there's 200 levels of this series. So it will probably take me another year or two to make these so hang tight.

I'm still stuck on the last 18-20 officials and it's been 6-7 years, if you guys have any hints/tips in a spoiler I would gladly appreciate it.

  Over 8 years for me. Longer than some relationships I have been in!! Agree-specially great.

  Just realized it has been over ten years for me on Bonuslevel and Blockoban. This is truly a special game and a great bunch of people.

  It's indeed an awesome series. However, it feels many of them are undercategorised; I'm having a hard time solving the easy ones.

  Near 80lvl update! Back then this game was more active, but it's still great to see how long it has lasted. I haven't really given Jellify a chance so I might try that, though Blockoban is still N#1 for me. I tried to make a bunch of puzzles in rapid succession for quick-designs without overthinking, glad you like it omr. I'm looking forward to playing these updated levels.

  I like the new series by suhangha and Ygg a lot. They have the vintage charme of the old days. Everyone I've solved deserve a 5/5. Speaking of the old days: I don't think everything was better then but at least most of us were younger.

  Amazing job indeed! How many songs have there been?

  Well done Omr!

  Thanks for the songs omr, hope you continue to make new levels whenever you feel like it :)

  Thank you for the music, Oldmanrob!

  All the "songs" are done now. There are still some waiting for evaluation. Now everybody who ever made a Blockoban level has one, except for one person who told me not to dare to make a "song" for her. If you note that someone is missing please tell me and I will provide. As soon as all the levels of this series are accepted I will put them in a pack. Play and have fun!

  Hey guys!

In the meantime, the 10th theme of the Class Type, the Wave package, is making long and hard.

The next 11th theme is Complex, will include all 6 colors.

Wave, Complex Difficulty: ●●●●●

  The thumbnail is the first thing someone sees from a level, and is an important identification 'tool'.
Nobody is asking for a perfect thumbnail, just make sure you always make square thumbnails (hold shift) and to take the part of the level that stands out is the best method, probably.

It's for the same reason that numbered general series (e.g. challenge 1 till challenge 100) are frowned upon, because this makes it very difficult for people to find specific levels again.

Blockoban has this problem a lot more than other games due to the fact that there's a limited amount you can do with what you get, but that hasn't stopped you guys from being able to make all these levels!

  Keeping thumbnails consistent, all the same shape, is good. I like to understand what kind of level it is at a glance from the thumbnail.

  Stretched thumbnails or thumbnails taked in the creator mode are of course no-goes. But asking for a "perfect" thumbnail is an absurdity
