Blockland is a sandbox game in which players build and play using Lego-like building blocks in singleplayer and multiplayer modes. It was created by American developer Eric "Badspot" Hartman, using the Torque Game Engine, and was originally released as freeware on November 15, 2004. The game is not endorsed by, or affiliated with, the Lego brand, but at one point, Lego was in talks with Hartman about purchasing the game.
