We have been impressed and encouraged with the dedication of our Rock Raiders fans, and after years of requests we are looking at creating a new Rock Raiders. We are considering combining a mine craft style world, so you can build and dig in more ways, please tell us what you think?

From what I understand they are looking to make a non-licensed mining game. It won't contain LEGO and won't be the same as LRR because they can't copy it. So I assume it's a new better mining game that incorporates elements of LRR. Vertical and horizontal digging is an idea they like, as do I and am sure many others will like this. For me, since creating RRU. In an email he mention he would like to get ideas for Monsters, Vehicles and other gameplay mechanics. He also mentioned what we would like to be moddable. So, things I think are important modding features: - Using a popular 3D model format (because not many can afford to use LightWave) such as .obj as an example. - Landscapes that can be entirely re-textured - NERPS was great in the fact that we could make custom level scripts, but it could be expanded further. - Simple level file formats like LRR ( makes it easier for people like me to make level editors) or if you wanted to go full out and make your own editor, thats great too. - Ability to add custom vehicles/monsters. - Language strings file (allows the game to be changed to other languages) - AI scripting for monsters if possible. Basically, the more you allow us to do, the more amazing mods we can make which in turn also increases its popularity. Things we wish RR could do: - HD resolution support! - Some sort of multplayer aspect - In-Game menus that support the custom content (vehicles or other unit types) - The ability to save and resume levels Other Ideas: - Flooding (like lava erosion but for water too) More ideas to come.... If you need help in graphics or programming, I can try to lend a hand.

I remember why I stopped coming here. The drama is Stupid vs. Stupid.

Popcorn Arcade was a budget Wii range. This is for PC (AFAIK) and they have been motivated to do this because of the fans of LRR and the fact that they are trying to work with us to create a game we all like is quite simply the best thing I've heard a developer do. I'd also like to add that because it's their own title, they aren't being pressured by deadlines and they can decided what happens with the game instead of them.

A non-LEGO mining game would be awesome as well. Especially if we could mod it to be LEGO themed... I agree completely with the ideas Cyrem has already posted, and to add some of my own... Keep the third and first person modes where you control units, but expand on them. It felt weird to be able to play directly as a Rock Raider in the original game, but unable to do basic things except for drilling walls. Have scenery objects, or building-type things in the levels not placed by the player. Ancient ruins, as a random example. Perhaps some could have special functions or you could have levels focused on finding or defending points like that? I'll think of more and post them.

Because they're sick of all the rumors that it's coming back.

Welcome Stewart! I'd just like to say to the other folks that I have done domain ownership checks and that this is the legit Stewart from DDI. I have to go to work now but will be back later.

Hi Fellow RR fans, we are looking at remaking Rock Raiders, let us know what you would like to have in the new version

Why does everyone care about passing a certain page? Really?

No.

"If you don't have anything nice to say..." Oh s*** sonic. Better tell yahtzee and James Rolfe that!

Have you ever actually used the internet before?

Hi Stewart from DDI here, we have been impressed with the dedication of all the Rock Raiders fans, and we looking at doing an updated version of Rock Raiders, If any artists or programmers are interested in helping work on this let us know. [email protected]

NOPE. DO NOT WANT.

That was terrible. They all died. You should be ashamed of yourself.
