I was thinking about various things when, I thought what was it like when the game was known as Oort Online.
I would love to hear peoples stories, see peoples Screenshots, and any videos that might have been made, so I, and many people who have joined in the past year, and a bit, who have only played the game as it is known as today, can get a feel of what the game was before the change of name to Boundless
EDIT: If you are able to write more then one sentence please do LOL
I would also love to hear the stories of the different towns, bases, planets, at that time, and even notable players at the time as well.
EDIT: I would also love to see links to posts, from back then as well.
EDIT: I would also like to see rough dates for screenshots and events if you can remember them.
You might like to have a look at these textures. Gives you a sense of what it was like.
One thing I loved was the pink blob we used to be. Two blocks highs. No animations. Not to mention the grapples that would have no cooldowns whatsoever. We had no world regeneration. I dug out an entire floating island leaving only the outer shell functioning. Beacons had to be requested. I didn’t do them, but most people did.
I actually believe there are some posts with screenshots of the player avatar at that time, however to make it easier for everyone I wanted to create this post to act as an easier way to learn about the game from its earlier stages.
and to maybe make it a bit easier for me to possibly put together a “History of Oort” series of posts, explaining the history of the game and its evolution of the community and the development of the game.
Those times I only built a simple square house -ish.
I didn’t join forums.
I didn’t even know the names of first worlds and the size of it.
I vaguely remember some city-like location that was a starting character spawn point.
No screenshots either.
I played a dozen hours maybe and then took a break and waited until the beginning of last year - almost constant presence since.
I’m very curious to see more of them old screenshots to help my fading memory of those early times of Boundless.
@james Suggestion to add to the bucket (pit?), can we have the chance to just play as blocks, in my dreams i see the ability to choose what the blocks are, so i can blend in to my environment, become part of a tree, feel what its like to truly BE that metamorphic rock…
Thats the old grapple hook.
