Blocksworld

Blocksworld (stylized as BLOCKSWORLD or BLOCKS WORLD and rarely abbreviated as BW) was a sandbox game developed by BoldaiAB and published by Linden Labs. It was released on iPad in June 2013, iPhone in early 2016, and on desktop devices via Steam on September 25, 2017. An early-access version of the game with different designs was available for the iPad in Nordic countries in November 2012, prior to the actual game releasing worldwide. Players could build or simulate anything in their worlds using 3D blocks from the inventory by dragging and dropping them together into complex creations. Players could also play other worlds published by other players across the servers, and they could buy or sell created models. In 2023, Blocksworld was acquired by Fortell Games Inc., which made future plans to relaunch the game sometime in 2024.
==Channel==
The official Blocksworld YouTube channel was created on April 15, 2013, and uploaded their first video on June 6, 2013. It consisted of videos of tutorials, reviews of worlds published by players, and trailers for its updates or sets based on specific themes.
==Shutdown==
Over the years, the game has received negative reception from the community for adding features that players disliked, including "pay-to-play" worlds that required players to pay "1 coin" to play other players worlds with over 2,000 likes or more, decreasing the limits to publish one world and three models a day, error codes on the desktop version, and more. In June 2020, the servers were shut down without making any announcements until notifications were sent to the players' devices about the servers being under maintenance. Moreover, the game was delisted from the App Store around that timeframe, and downloads cannot be made on Steam. Players can still re-download the game from the App Store if they own the application, and information about the game can still be viewed on Steam. Despite being shut down, players can still access the game by entering a specific DNS server in their internet connection settings on their iOS devices for a limited time. If a player launches the game on their iOS device, an error message will show up on their screen while in the loading screen.
== Relaunch ==
Fortell Games Inc., a studio based in Santa Monica, California, and Kyiv, Ukraine, acquired the game in August 2023. The game's official website was changed to a visual animation of a beating heart in early December 2023 and was later changed to a blue background and gravity icons, with some being direct links to their social media pages and online merchandise store. In December 2023, a survey via Google Forms was posted on their YouTube community section and Twitter page, asking users various questions on how the revival could be handled in terms of monetization, restored uploads, and additional features, suggesting the revival's early development. On December 20, 2023, a video of short gameplay was uploaded to their YouTube channel for the first time after five years. During the following day, a community post was posted asking their subscribers to help them reach out to TheNewGhosts for being fans of his Iron Man and Transformers creations on Blocksworld.
