I wonder if a red car is faster than a blue car? I wonder if the colors run, does it make it faster? Or if the colors clash, will the car crash? Or...?

Today I finally got around to trying the three new LEGO Fusion games. I was gonna post reviews here, but decided to blab a bit on Skype first: ... Then I decided just to post that here. LEGO Town Master is supposed to have some online features, like visiting other people's towns, but that's not in the game yet as far as I can tell. It's not the next Sims, but for a kids' tablet game, it's pretty neat, and a step up from LEGO's previous mobile offerings. It leaves me with a craving for an all-out LEGO Sims game on PC... Something TT was toying with at one point, but left for the concept that became LEGO City Undercover. Oh well, maybe some day... So, anybody else tried these yet? What do you think? The Friends one is coming later, and it looks somewhat similar to Town Master, plus some interior design stuff, which sounds neat, so I'll be trying that one as well.

Download link About A while back I worked on recreating the Swarm Interceptor in the FreeSpace Open Engine as both a personal project and an entry into my portfolio for RIT's Game Design program. Since then I have spent some time finishing the model and preparing it for a proper release. This is the proper release. This isn't a standalone item, and will require FreeSpace Open to function. There are a few differences between the original version shown in the video and the release version, I fixed the Swarm Interceptor a bit, removed the base, and added a few more goodies.

"Remember? Remember what? How you left me for dead in the heat of battle?" |+| Flickr |+| Flavia, a Toa of Water from the Order of Mata Nui. Sent on a mission to take down a Brotherhood of Makuta fortress with Zanax, Ventus, and Sicarius, she supposedly perished when a Rahkshi stabbed her. But there's more to this Toa than meets the eye... I mainly built her so that I could play around with one of my >new misprint Matatus, which were a birthday present from my dad.

[4:39:01 PM] Antillies: What purpose does moving it to the Pit serve? [4:39:23 PM] Cirevam: Because the Pit of Doom took us three months to dig out and we’re going to make the most of it

[4:12:47 PM] Ronald Thomas Mullins III (Tauka Usanake): I don't know why I'm a little disappointed [4:13:02 PM] Ronald Thomas Mullins III (Tauka Usanake): maybe because there isn't mod support yet in the sets [4:13:15 PM] Ronald Thomas Mullins III (Tauka Usanake): [4:13:33 PM] Mimilop~ (Seradima): lego sets always have mod support. [4:13:50 PM] Mimilop~ (Seradima): You can even make standalone mods using parts of the original coding. [4:16:11 PM] Noghiri: in fact, the first couple lego sets were full SDKs

To me, the standard minifigure design do not at all fit in very well with MineCraft's aesthetics.

Rereading this post in 2019, are you? Well, just like the monsters are back, something will be coming soon to this topic.... rebuilt, with new ideas, less general noobishness, and more challenges... ... the monsters' revenge awaits! ETA this year. Probably early Dec-ish. Progress thus far: - I have a new level select menu and a way to proceed with the mod! Originally it was just a mishmash. Now it might still inherently be one, but it's an organized one. And one that I have a clear focus for & can continue working on. - Implemented various bits hanging around RRU already (what, you thought I was doing them on their own?) --- all the fixes & shenanigans in Improvements Pack ------ gotta copy over various bits of this that I haven't updated yet (lava erosion notification!) --- Upgraded Hover Scout ------ have some more ideas for this (yes, more!) --- Front Loader ------ Still got to do upgrades here --- Would incorporate the Mega Mole but I can't see a strategic use for it. We already have the Small Digger, Granite Grinder, and Chrome Crusher. I might add it anyway, because MORE VEHICLES --- Air Filter ------ With it, utter overhaul of how you'll build Rock Raider HQ. Some levels you won't even require the Power Station... --- Spiders, Snakes, and Scorpions ------ Green and Purple Scorpions ------ Still have to find a use for any of these. They're nice critters but don't do anything beyond "get shot," and I have Rock Monsters for that. - Smaller scope. 1000 crystals just becomes un-fun, unbalanced, and hard to control at around the 150 mark. So this mod will probably not go over 100 crystal requirements for level. --- Who said level victory was tied to crystal count? - Travelling and working over water & lava has never been easier as the All Terrain Laser Cutter is back and, more importantly, the Tunnel Scout can now be upgraded to drill (in case of emergency laser bug) & carry! --- Lava Defense Unit is now actually distinguishable from the Water Defense Unit ------ Still got to make it a little more distinguishable Things To Do: - Levels --- The Path to Power and A Breath of Fresh Air are now going to be quite lengthy and will function as a ... tutorial for some of the newer aspects of the game --- Got some ideas for... surprises... in Lava Laughter --- Erosion in Oresome is going to be an actual challenge (what? yes, really) --- Paving over slug holes in Rock Hard --- I have very nasty ideas for Lake of Fire. No, not just the usual monster madness, this is something truly special Gonna require upsizing the map though... - More Levels --- I have nearly finished implementing some very nasty ideas for Air Raiders and Don't Panic, gotta playtest, bugshoot, and polish them - Yet More Levels --- Driller Night and Water Lot of Fun just need tweaking now - Still More Levels --- Rocky Horror II ------ Chief: This isn't right, Rock Raider. It looks so familiar yet.... it's not right. thundering and rumbling No, no, this wasn't supposed to happen! This isn't right at all! Hold on, we're starting up the teleporters on the LMS Explorer, but teleporting up so much equipment is going to take time. Hold on, Rock Raider: keep your HQ together for as long as you can as we start the teleport sequence! Thus begins: the Monsters' Revenge - content! there's not much more to say here, I know what I need to do and I just need to do it. --- copy paste some remaining levels from previous build of Monsters' Revenge ------ The Bridge of Khazad-Dum --- recolour more of Lava Defense Unit --- add upgrades to Mega Mole and Front Loader --- get Driveable Slug to work for the fifth time --- poke monsters to see if I can change their boulder range --- fix landslide parameters and general cfg shenanigans --- balance, gotta get that in too ------ wall drill times ------ vehicle upgrade costs ------ building costs ? --- custom videos ? ? ? ? Levels that Are Done: - Water Works (yes, this of all things!) - not much else yet I wanted to release a mod that completely changes LRR. Original LRR was easy. It was very very difficult to fail. And really rather boring. Baz's Mod was good... but to me it was a level pack and not much else. I'm not disdaining it... I just felt something bigger & better could be made. Here is all my unused levels, "ALL?" THIS ISN'T EVEN MY FINAL FOOOOOOOORM bits and pieces - the map creator is still in there, I didn't bother deleting it: http://oresome.rockraidersunited.com/download/363 Some are totally skeletal, but others are nearly finished. Enjoy. * Note: Hilariously outdated version below. That said, there's no more recent version available. Not yet, anyway... https://www.dropbox.com/s/ddp4r75hj9om21y/AidenponsModUpload17_02_16.zip?dl=0 (~35 MB FYI) Installation Instructions: Stuff the WADS in your game folder and just re-write the ones you have. (I just uploaded the wads) Feeback? Rants? Speedruns? Also, if you have suggestions then please let me know by whatever way you deem the best. *DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY OF HOW MUCH YOU RAGED AT THIS GAME

Very nicely done! It elegantly blends Technic and CCBS, with a nice little smattering of technic-constraction pieces. And I rather like the Latin name.

Okay, now that I have almost decent times, I think I can officially write them down here on the topic. 4:28.22 for Lilac; 5:17.52 for Carol. Total: 9:45.74. I'm sorry, Drill Master... Edit 5: Best time for Lilac is now 3:55.69, for a total of 8:33.92. I have to say, even though I thought at first this game wouldn't have been too amazing, I actually now find it awesome, one of the most entartaining game I have ever played. And this is just the demo! I still have 13 days to beat Aiden or Latias, I really hope I can get the game.

[8:55:14 AM] Arthuriel Aurillion: it looks like one [8:55:44 AM] Arthuriel Aurillion: and now I have to remember the aidenpons flash-ball pinata comment^^ [8:55:52 AM] Brigs: i think its a scare-crow [8:56:20 AM] Brigs: which is ironic since it is unikitty [8:56:44 AM] Arthuriel Aurillion: but the location looks like a forest [8:57:24 AM] jamesster: maybe they're christmas tree farmers [8:57:34 AM | Edited 8:57:42 AM] Arthuriel Aurillion: yelling old man: "get off my apples. goddam' crows!" [8:58:10 AM] Brigs: hi botanical gardens [8:58:54 AM] Arthuriel Aurillion: yeah, it's a well known fact, that crows group together and steal christmas trees in huge amounts ; ) [9:00:20 AM] Arthuriel Aurillion: anyway: this thing looks ugly and is probably the failed attempt of doing fanart ^^ [9:02:33 AM | Edited 9:02:55 AM] Brigs: Actually, it was decorated by the local LUG.

Zephyria: I've been a member of this community for too long. MaelstromIslander: all sanity is lost. Alcom1: Right. The next person to use a sanity quip is going to be strapped to a rocket and fired off in a random direction, and I mean perfectly random. That's a 50% chance that the thing will launch while facing the ground. jamesster: let's surround the launch site with brick walls The Ace Railgun: And lasers, don't forget the lasers. : Don't forgot to build a roof over the launch site. Seaborgium: What I would do would be to dig out a large spherical volume at the center of the earth. Launch the rocket from the center(I'll figure that out later) and that way, which ever direction it goes is "up". aidenpons: well that escalated quickly

Yeah, I'll agree with that too. I actually like how these new sets look, but they do feel a bit clunky compared to the microworlds. Probably because the microworlds seemed to convey the sense of everything being cleanly compartmentalized into chunks as it is in the game, while these sets are more of a traditional "cut-out" scene.

I agree, I think the minifigure scale version seems a little too Legoy. The section worlds look a lot more Minecrafty than this.
