It is finished. :af:

Hey all. This is my second Wipeout inspired anti-gravity racer, This was loosely based on my smaller SR1 MOC. I really like the Wipeout series of games and i just really wanted to make a bigger one so here it is. It has two air brakes on either side and two bigger ones on the back as well as one underneath it. It also has landing gear. I've put on some of the weapons on it but I couldn't fit all on. More pictures: I also made a boarding ramp for it, a bit crappy but hey I was running out of pieces at this point: And finally a picture of the pilot in it: And theres more pictures on the brickshelf page here: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=484374 Hope you like.

Hello! Have you ever wished you could read old LEGO magazines? Probably not. But I sure love to put old LEGO magazines on the internet anyway! I recently received a small collection of LEGO Adventures!, Bricks n' Pieces and LEGO World Club Magazin issues courtesy of Cyrem and jamesster. Only two of them have been made available in English in their entirety online prior to now, so I am pleased to present what I have for your viewing pleasure. As with my LEGO MANIA Magazine scans, I will be uploading these frequently, but probably not daily. LEGO Adventures! LEGO Bricks 'n' Pieces LEGO World Club Magazine Issue 16 LEGO Magazine LEGO Shop at Home

Why not? It's more fitting here than 99% of the other web sites and domain names on the internet, all having nothing to do with LEGO.

After you watch it the first time, put on captions and watch it again. They're so accurate.

That's all well and good, but what's wrong with making a LEGO model that looks like a LEGO model because LEGO models are cool?

"How many differences can you spot on the Axle on the right?" Well for one that's Sparks and not Axle. That's an awfully big difference, isn't it? And showing Hover Scouts crossing lava? You're gonna have a lot of pissed kids when they try that one in the game and find out its a lie. Of course, that's not to say ere aren't a bunch of lies in the article about the game either. Sure, the game has all the Rock raiders in the cutscenes... But not in the actual game. Enjoy your generic raiders. The goal is to collect as many crystals as possible! Except that it's only reaching a predetermined amount of crystals, and even then only in some of the missions. Axle isn't racing that slug, they're both running from RUSHING LAVA THAT'S THREATENING TO KILL THEM. That said, the models they show you is kind of cool. The even smaller mobile laser cutter! The fabled large transport truck! A flying drill! The Town models they show you are great, too! I love that jetski, and especially the speedboat. And in the find the differences puzzle Octan dude loses to sunglasses to reveal HE HAS NO EYES HOLY BRICK.

Lol Addict bringing DF into the convo. I'm making a "Godwin's Law" for you. Lol Doc complaining about threads. Not enough for Godwin though. And I agree with half of this. The Wii U would be a better system to play on with the bonus of the tablet. I say it would be a better market too for DDI if you do it right. Too many games don't take advantage of the tablet controller and it would be best for any sensible game company to jump in on that.

Wat? That was the Glatorian Legends version of the mask. Excuse my BIONICLE nerdiness. But apart from that, these look great! May I ask what software do you use to make them?

Hi Brick, welcome to the site. First off, I want to say that it's great that you are learning programming and seem to have come quite a ways. This site is a great way to get constructive criticism from individuals who are doing similar things at an equal or higher level. It's clear you have a vision but I would urge you to focus on building a solid backbone for your game rather than focusing (albiet not exclusively) on the creative side immediately. That is conceptualizing a game that would be fun and work correctly before delving straight into creating it. No doubt there are many development styles out there but from what I can see immediately the game seems to be focused on much of its visual presentation and not on its gameplay mechanics. Even the visual presentation seems to be a bit lack luster. I don't know how experienced you are so I don't know what is fair game for me to criticize or not but I will say that the graphics are - at the onset - not that appealing. The shaders you are using (or not using) aren't really doing it for me as everything seems to be lit with very flat light. You seem to be trying to mimic the style of LEGO Universe but its really not there yet, and I don't think the very non-LEGO looking building models are helping. I personally would question the wisdom of creating anything based on LU but that's probably because I was not a fan of it and prefer the more classic look of the older games. I think the biggest thing that's missing is that from what you've showed us I'm really not sure what the purpose of the game is and how that purpose is communicated via the game's elements. In an ideal world, a game's internal logic is consistant, that all of the elements (graphics, gameplay, story, etc) work together to reinforce each other and the game's overall objective and purpose. I'm not getting that here. Granted, that might be because you're still in the development phase but you've said that you're pretty far along. If I were you, I would stop work and take stock of where you wanted to be originally, where you are currently, and where you are going. I think there are some big picture questions you need to address that are weakening your project. Even if you decide that you're exactly where you want to be, I think the introspection would still be a worthwhile excercise.

And people are afraid of the NSA- sheesh..It's kinda cool that the Island lives on...Kind of honored...I'm actually writing a book now on THe Making of Lego Island...

HAH No. Didn't you know? Sonic 06 is Game of the Year material... As is E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial for Atari 2600
