That's honestly pretty unprofessional, even for a facebook page. It looks to me like it's just some dumping grounds for someone just dreaming about a Rock Raiders remake and throwing out stuff about liking Rock Raiders. There's even a typo in the page name. The random pictures of minecraft and other minecraft-style games gives me the impression of uncertainty on what you want to do with this project and concern that this is going to end up as another Minecraft clone, and I have no idea what's even going on with that picture of minifig next to the Mega Man enemy and some Minecraft character skin render that isn't even from or possible in that game. The avatar being "Rock Raiders + Minecraft" especially scares me (and feels really uncreative). The thing that really got me to leave this post though was the "'LIKE' if you prefer this style of levels to a more realistic look." If this is serious, it's a pretty terrible way to decide on the art style for the project. Don't do polls off of a meaningless facebook thing, and don't take the results of this meaningless facebook thing as an answer to what you should do for the art style or anything else in the game. EDIT: I just double checked, and yes indeed you are holding a poll between Minecraft ripoff and realistic terrain using facebook likes > Please don't do that.

Can I leave my own thoughts on the block matter? I think what I was thinking of, was walls and stuff like in LRR but made out of many "blocks" of some sort (not necessarily like minecraft, but that's the closest example). An individual Rock Raider could drill/pick/mine the wall down block by block (may go faster depending on upgrades and tools), while on the other end the Giant Drilling Vehicles could bring down dozens/hundreds of blocks all at once (aka an entire "wall" as the original LRR would see it). A Rock Raider could eventually bring down a whole wall but depending on the material it may take a while and might be easier to just drill a small tunnel through it just big enough for a Rock Raider to get through. If the wall were unstable, though, it could risk collapsing on a Raider or vehicle, so it's safest to drill the wall down but that takes a long time - your decision, player: risk it for the speed, or take a while to play it safe? Additionally, the blocks may become rubble, so drilling down a wall will leave its pieces scattered around for you to somehow clear out. It would make landslides more realistic too, since they could break down a wall as they're pieces of a wall. The floor and cieling would work this way too, so you could mine down or up, and the roof could cave in on you, so you'll have to use rienforcement wisely. I assume crystals and ore would be inside the blocks, or maybe be whole blocks in the wall if it's a seam or something. So anyway, that's just my thoughts. Basically LRR with blocksandboxminecraft-inspired elements, not so much LRR + Minecraft. I don't know if it would work or if anyone cares, but oh well, I might as well leave feedback. EDIT: I have no idea how water and lava would work with this, but it would make slug holes cool. Also I use wall liberally, because that basically means a fairly verticle surface. I assume that there would just be lots of patches of rock types and not literal single-unit walls like in LRR, and you could flatten out ground to make buildings or something and dirt is bad for building on but you can dig into it vertically and maybe make huge mining pits? But be careful not to fall into the lava caves below or the lava monsters will come up and wreck your brick? I guess this idea is a lot like Minecraft, but on a larger and more management/RTS scale. EDIT 2: My thought on the terrain style was blocks but realistic looking so they're not perfect cubes on their own, and when they're in a wall/roof/floor they smooth out to look nice but you can still tell individual blocks a little bit. The third picture in the realistic photo set is closer to what I'm thinking of than minecraft, but not really. Maybe I'll draw something because I have no idea what I'm saying at this point.

That's because he's been advertising this on BZPower for a while and he's mostly got people from there with this. Anyway, I'm a bit concerned that you didn't give any information on what sort of game this is, how you're creating it, what tools, what engine, etc. I've seen countless LEGO fan games that advertise like this until the person or people behind it realize they haven't actually been working on a game.

On a request of le717 and because it sounded fun I made a Rock Monster, a Tamed Rock Monster Features: - custom icons - listed in the menu "small vehicles" - can clear rubble, with a suiting animation! - first person/second person view camera works - the stand animation of Rock Monsters were statue-like, so I used a different one. It was the best suiting animation I could find! - driver invisible because there aren't any animations for a Rock Raider riding a rock monster - fixed a bug that you can see the inside of the head in first person view (see video for bug) DOWNLOAD Installation instructions: Put the folder "DrivingMonster" into DataVehicles (DATA method) or into LegoRR0Vehicles (WAD method). Add the lines as explained in the enclosed cfg file. You can find your own Lego.cfg either in Data (Data method) or in LegoRR1 (WAD method). For WAD method users: Don't forget to recompile all the stuff (LegoRR0 and LegoRR1). Here's a video:

I personally loved the music in LEGO Rock Raiders. It set the perfect atmosphere, and some parts of the tracks represent the building aspect of the game beautifully, stimulating me to build and expand my base. It's a shame there were only three in-game tracks, but what great tracks they were, and in my opinion the game wouldn't have been the same without them. ...relating that back to your comment. Yes, I would like to hear similar music in the new game. I say similar though and not identical, as I assume it may need a bit of 'modernising', if you understand... I'm not talking dubstep remixes and all though Personally, I would hate to hear LRR PC's music in the new game. However, I absolutely loved LRR PS1's music.

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!

I have decided to kill myself. Rather, I have decided to draw EVERY Kanohi mask. All of them. I have the names and powers for 106 109 masks (plus heads) right now. If there is something wrong, or I have forgotten something, let me know. We have enough insane people around here someone is bound to actually read through that. I plan to make at least one Kanohi a week until I have them all and then do something with them. Perhaps I'll make a poster. But it's the dedication and practice that I actually need, so I can show all of you guys my art, and in return you can all yell at me if I'm not making the masks. Every Monday (excepting times where I am unable to access a computer on a Monday) I will post the Kanohi I made the week before. If anyone wants to, they can critique it, or I will just use this as a more enjoyable reminder for myself to practice. As it is not yet a Monday, I won't post any new Kanohi, but here are the Kraahkan I made previously. Is it Kraahkan or Kraahkans for the plural? Completed Masks are displayed in the spoiler below. Edits- Added Avohkii / Kraahkan Combo mask to the list. Added Mask of Elemental power (from Bionicle: The Game) to the list. Added Kraahkan Face to the list. Do not use any of my art without permission and crediting me. Thank you.

The exact opposite for me. I love atmospheric music when I'm doing something. I think you misread what you quoted. Anyway, I'm with Lair here, the PS1 style music wouldn't work as well in an RTS game. Something more ambient would be good.

what Couldn't disagree more. Very much prefer PC music and I agree with Jimbo.

I never noticed they had so little resemblance, actually... And as for I wouldn't be sure as there is only one of them in one universe, but I think the plural should be Kraahkan, just like with the other Kanohi (and pretty much any other word in the BIONICLE world, lol).

Welcome. Yes, RRU doesn't do the whole pay money to unlock a forum feature, everything is accessible without money getting involved.

It does. The Rock Monster will get reskinned with slightly better textures, but the models will be the same. Some animations will be different too, like an unused punching animation.

"This is so funny and exciting. I don't think I can stop posting on here. Random sentence about pokemon." ...35 translations later, Bing gives us: "... It would be interesting. I think you can buy it here. Random Funny face expression of a Carpenter."

I translated the sentence "Chief is one of the six main Characters from Rock Raiders. " dozens of times, because I wanted to know, how many weird translations are possible. Here are the best examples (I had four open tabs with the bad translator to get more translations in the same time. Sorry that I have so many translations, but I couldn't decide, which ones were better): ...8 translations later, Bing gives us: "Stone is one of the six main characters, General Manager of the pirates." Comment: Best job description ever. I hope, that Pirate General Manager "Stone" will appear in Rock Raiders II results with 35 translations and Bing: "The six main characters die, how many people." "The stone is an important part of the President of the Republic. Hunter 6" "Rock Raiders is the sixth sign of the Governor." "Pirates of People's Republic of China is one of six characters." "Kennedy in part 6 of the Israel Army Commander." "Geology of Indonesia: philosophy, Zhang Jing." "This is a 6, a former Bush virus." "President George w. Bush's sins." "The six main characters: bandits" "List of Presidents of the hijackers." "The robbers and one of the main characters in a line to success, as Chairman of the meeting." "6 four main characters are 2 thieves." "The main character was one of the six walls." "Sign up for the theft of the stone 6." "The cross was stolen. Two big 6" "One of the first female President of India 6: Jones is amazing." "Hollywood Hunter 2-6" "Hands of Stone, one of the participants in the market." "Rock band 6" "Genre: pop rock Raiders 6 Sunday." "Rock Raiders 6." "The key was stolen."

This. So much this. Another reason I'm also concerned about the idea of Facebook, iOS, Android, etc versions is that they wouldn't end up supporting modding, at least to the same degree. The folks here on RRU would likely stick with the PC version and ignore the other ones, and the split in development would likely cause the PC version to not be as good as it could. Oh, and that image Fushigisaur posted is actually a Mega Man robot: http://megaman.wikia.com/wiki/Servbot

The problem is that this is exactly what the Rock Raiders United community doesn't want, or at the very least that is the general attitude that many people have around here. Rock Raiders is a very casual game already up until a few levels near the end and many of the mods that RRU has made try to make the game more challenging. The core demographic for the original game was children, so that is understandable. Now, we have grown up and the majority of us are 15 to 25 years old. We can take a challenge. This makes me feel a little bit better about the situation. In my eyes, Rock Raiders was one of your best games and I have hope that you are willing to show us a game that's even better than the original Rock Raiders. Of course, when I say "you" I'm addressing all of DDI -- the programmers, the artists, the musicians, the engineers, and the leaders. I was talking to a few people about this and we're actually concerned about you developing this game on multiple formats at once. Having multiple formats means that you need multiple teams to work on each version, which splits your time and energy. If you're planning on PC, Wii, WiiU, Android, iOS, and Facebook... you're spreading your effort way too thin and the main product (PC) will suffer. And honestly, the game will end up being completely different for each format. The PC has mouse and keyboard controls which are superior to a controller (WiiU) or pointer (Wii), and far superior to a touchscreen (Android, iOS). The general attitude towards Facebook games for many people around here is negative, and I feel that you will receive either backlash or apathy towards a Facebook version of the game. We do not want Farmville Raiders. We do not want to waggle a Wiimote at a screen in order to drill a wall. Please understand this. Your trending analysts may say that Facebook games are hot right now and the casual market is something you need to capture, but RRU in general is not in that market. I don't want to speak for everyone, but I think we are looking for a game that makes us think and plan ahead.

It's Monday and although I missed last one I have today's Kanohi completed an ready to - *A second Prototyke wearing a strange gold mask bursts in a flash of light into the room* "Don't show It! Don't show It! In my time stream, the whole world starts to end when you show the RRU community that." the strange new Prototyke frantically yells. "Wait wait wait. Are you wearing what I was going to show today? The - " "NO! DON'T EVEN SAY WHAT ITS CALLED!" screeches the other Prototyke. "... If I can't show the people it, can I at least use it? I could go back in time like Cirevam suggested and get some Toa Mata heads before the brains were put in. I would be cooler than the Doctor!" The normal Prototyke realizes. ... "TheDoctor can't travel through time..." The strange Prototyke finally replies The normal Prototyke lunges for the Prototyke with the funny gold mask on, but the strange Prototyke vanishes in a burst of light leaving only the smell of ozone. "Oh well... No Toa Mata heads for me, but at least I can show you the mask now." And without further ado, the Vahi, the mask of Time, in both orange and gold! See, nothing went wr

Oh you silly, silly, people. When will you ever learn how to use a real translator? Page 1 Page 2 Page 3 Page 4 Seriously though, I ran the entire comic through Bad Translator on various settings, and that was the result. I have absolutely no idea how it came up with some of these things.

The Rockwhale is his horse.

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

To do it I used 3D Ripper DX, convert the DDS files, flip the texure, then figure out which files they are in the game. It's a somewhat slow process since I have to run the game many times, I probably spent an hour or so on the TEST track. I'm doing the Royal Knights Raceway atm.

I can imagine this being used to create some sacred ritual sites...
