GOG.com wishlist search for LEGO games: http://www.gog.com/wishlist/games#search=lego&order=votes_total EDIT: Perhaps contact LEGO via Twitter or email to let them know you support this idea. tl;dr: This RRU n00bie/big LEGO and GOG fan is interested in trying to bring classic LEGO games to GOG.com, and was wondering if anyone had any support, suggestions, and feedback. Hey RRU community, I've never posted on your forum before, so I hope I don't speak out of turn, but I have a proposal of sorts that I'm interested in. Some of you may be familiar with the PC/Mac games digital download service GOG.com (formally "Good Old Games" or as I call them, "Good Old Games and more"); despite having moved into new games territory, they are still very well-known around the interwebs as the service dedicated to preserving classic games and tweaking them to work on modern machines. I frequent the forums there A LOT, and thus have a decent reputation and a few developed "digital friendships" over there. A few months back I created a topic dedicated to raising support for bringing the Humongous Entertainment classics (which some of you may be familar with) to GOG, as although they are children's games (which GOG doesn't have very many of), they are very fun point and click adventures of yore. (Plus, the company that bought HE - Atari - is already on GOG, and indie developer Nimbus Games is re-releasing them for iOS and eventually for PC/Mac.) I bring this up because I'm considering doing something similar with the LEGO games (although not tonight; I'm too tired), the pre-movie titles of which are somewhat like the HE games as they are beloved classics that kind of been swept away in the mists of the mind. (Or, both HE games and Lego Island are some of the most posted "nostalgia" images on Reddit Gaming.) GOG will go after games their community shows interest in (look at the recent re-release of System Shock 2) or ones they believe will sell well. They help judge that via the Community Wishlist; I've posted a link to the LEGO titles here: http://www.gog.com/wishlist/games#order=votes_total&search=lego (Please only vote for the ones you're interested in, to keep it accurate.) Also, you can contact GOG saying you would like to see LEGO on GOG here: http://www.gog.com/support/contact/other_questions_issues (just realize you'll get a generic response about how bringing games to GOG can be tricky due to legal and liscensing issues) Having browsed just a tad before posting, it does seem like this community has developed some connections with people who have worked on some of these games, I was wondering if you all could think of anyone who might still have "sway" with those in the LEGO world. I'd be willing to contact them if you don't really want to. In essense, I'm looking for support if you like this idea (email GOG and vote on the wishlist), and for your ideas as to how I can help make this happen. I plan on making a thread on GOG dedicated to this eventually, but again, I'm tired and am partially focused on the HE titles. Thanks everyone. EDIT: Free bonus content is also big over at GOG, so some sort of Lego Island soundtrack would be nice (although getting The Torpedoes music for that release would probably be next to impossible, unless they were desperate for money. ); also, the Lego Island comic book was really fun to look at.

Beyond aware of it; couple games on it, and I plan on getting System Shock 2. I wish we could have a blend of Steam's UI and games library, with GOG.com's game library and its absence of DRM. I absolutely love the HE games. A love no-one could ever understand. It makes me sick that they're going to iOS first, but at least they'll be re-released on their true platform. I'll be getting right on to it soon enough.

I probably should update this. I haven't done any work recently since most of the modelling is done and I've been too busy to dump time into animation, however there's all the finalization for models I've completed which is done. (whoops I slipped)

You have to do this: Object2 { type Hoverboard xPos 8.578496 yPos 28.591185 heading 348.541010 } Object3 { type Pilot xPos 8.578496 yPos 28.591185 heading 348.541010 driving Object2 } What we're doing is placing the Rock Raider (Pilot) directly on top of the Hover Scout (Hoverboard) and make sure both are pointing in the same direction (heading). Then we say that the Rock Raider is driving the Hover Scout with the "driving Object2" line. You cannot do this directly in the Map Creator. It must be done in the map's OL file after the level is created. Hint for a new feature, Cyrem...

Without finishing my bank vault

I like how the intent of this topic died years ago and Amauros has vanished from the face of the Earth.

I didn't see that, now I found it. So it shows detailed tutorials of all basic modifications? No, it deals with the wads so the user doesn't have to. Well, but there are some people around here who also want to modify their LRR without downloading any already-done-mods. And who told you that the following tutorials would only deal with the wads?

Wait what? You mean you've never noticed that every RRU competition has had a prize of a free game(s) from GOG?

I've never heard of GOG before now, but it sounds interesting. I'm always up for classic LEGO games, of course. Voted, and I'll drop in an email as well. :D

I've been doing some research on the history of LEGO, their close to bankruptcy moments, and their successful times. I found a great newspaper cut in my archives, which I saved up for later, and never really thought I would ever be posting on this forum. The cut pretty much explains how LEGO sales went down, what caused it and how the company earned its prestige back again. Because this is a Dutch issue (again), I translated all text on the scanned cut (which took me a darn long time). Anyway, the cut also discusses the Friends line, how well-known LEGO is around the world and a timeline of the company's history (and more). To sum it all up, it is worth to take a look at. Issue from a Dutch newspaper (AD), september 15th, 2012. Any opinions written in this cut aren't necessarily shared by me. Contents inside spoilertags contain links to the paper cut image, because the image would be too big to be posted in one piece on this topic, as well to have a zoom-in function included for the images.
