@Zeph: I think it's fair to assume that people appreciate the work that went into it, even if it isn't all that much yet. It will make custom tracks and stuff a great deal easier. You may not see the point in transferring Lego Racers to Unity, but I certainly don't see the point of popping in, spouting an expletive, and bringing everyone down when it was not your time or work that was, as you seem to think, wasted.

Wow, thanks for the support! ​I've thought about this, I guess most of what I've done can be done programmatically, but I don't think I'm capable enough. I know Grappigegovert's GDB converter includes the UV texture mapping, but I don't know much about how that works, whether it links to the specific texture files or if it does that anywhere else in the game. ​Let me set this straight. I didn't say I was remaking the game, or porting it. This was literally an exercise, and I thought people here might find it interesting, one because I'm using tools developed by members here who might see this, and two because it might be useful for anyone's own projects. I've not added any gameplay elements, and I hadn't really thought about it. Plus the physics was pretty dodgy in the original. I loved it, but it was definitely dodgy. ​Well, if I understand correctly Unity isn't really for modelling. You could modify the extracted models, but I don't think there's a way to get the models back in (edit: yet). I'm pretty sure there's talk about it in the Modding section of the forums somewhere.

Since this topic was pretty much just used for news about the game, can we rename it "Worlds News And Discussion" please? Anyway, onto the main point of this slight bump: Plans for the first major content update announced! Caves and such! Apparently this update will be out by the end of june. Also:

Venkman from Ghostbusters at the far right of this image. Note also that he has the same hairpiece as Capaldi, but in brown. EDIT: Just found an interesting comment on this article from a certain "jon_tt"... EDIT 2: More gameplay! Yay.

​Done. Green-red brick infestation is a serious hazard for tundras.

Its the start of a possible remaster or better yet, a sequel. Once this is made, we'll have an LR1 that can easily be modified. The original LR1 is like trying to bend an iron bar while this is like working with playdoh.

So I've been lurking here for quite a while. I finally got round to learning a bit of Unity, one thing led to another and I came up with this: I've tried to be as faithful as possible, so even including the errors in the original track. Now I know what I'm doing, it doesn't take quite so long to do more tracks, but it's still very manual, and I've not worked out how to do some things yet. Plus I have no idea what my actual aim is, I just think it's pretty cool! I've attached a screenshot of the next part of the project. These new forums are great, but I could really do with a post preview option...

This looks really nice! I actually have a program that loads a track with its textures from the original files, which I will be releasing soon. I know Sluicer has a tool to import 3d meshes, and I think Quisoves made one too.

Finally decided to settle down and build something. Also, as for the environment, I was experimenting with making and adding a custom biome. Would talk about how to do that later, but for now, I'm tired and need sleep.

Caves are implemented (or coming)? I can see something Rock Raiders-y coming out of that...

Hooray! Caves! Windowed Mode! Other cool features!

Oh, that's lovely. Face needs some tweaking but I like where that's going. If I had the spare time I'd like to do a bunch of those 90s androids, in a bunch of colors. Of course there's the red Spyrius android, and Ann Droid from Exploriens, but there's also the black versions from LEGO Battles, and a larger model of a blue version at a shop in LEGOLAND Florida (that's the only picture/video I could find of it, sorry)... Might as well do other colors like green too.

Oh. Hi. So…. Yea. What happened? This is out of character for me. What happened? I really do not know. I asked to narrate this round because I wanted to narrate. My story, as you saw, was something I was excited about. I was excited to have a chance to narrate Mafia, excited about my story, excited about the events to come! I was looking forward to the debates and twists and fun we were going to have this week! I posted the backstory and alerted all the players to their roles, then waited for the Mafia to respond. I began working further on my story and was excited about it. So… what happened? I really do not know. Suddenly, like an unexpected setback in a project, I… dropped. I suddenly wanted to do nothing, interact with anyone, write, or code. All week I have felt… not down, depressed, sad, just… meh, drained. I began intentionally neglecting all online activities and not wanting to interact with anyone. I stopped posting, getting on chat, anything. And I am not sure why. I instead started binge watching cartoons all day, and I never binge watch (I do not care to do it and I never have time to do it anyway). I cannot describe how I have felt, nor can I explain why. I have never felt this way before. I tried to get out of this… weirdness by trying to code, write, Tweet, and say a few things to a few people, but I have been unable to break it. As I said, I cannot explain the trigger. Tomorrow (Monday) I begin my summer activities, during which I will be super busy and not do much else until July, and naturally (probably like everyone else) I am nervous, but that usually only starts the day before and ends soon after whatever is happening starts. For me to start feeling… however I have felt because of something I want to do and know will be fun and have a good time doing an entire week before it starts... I… do not know. All that said, I am deeply sorry for what I have done (or rather, not done) here. Do you think I wanted my week to go this way? Uh, no. Not in a million years. I wanted this to go well. My excitement fueled me. Then suddenly, poof, it all went away. I should have said something sooner. I should have not kept everyone waiting. I should have already written this post and passed the baton to someone else. Those who know me well know that I do what I say. Sure, I forget things and not do something because of whatever, but I am not a super hero, I am only human. The deal is I make it a rule to always honor my word. If I said something, I hold myself to it, and if I do not, I want the other party (parties) to hold me to it. I am a young man of integrity, honesty, upright, fair, trustworthy and honest, doing what people ask and constantly working to better others and make others look good. Yet I have intentionally failed to do what I said, and I am (metaphorically speaking) kicking myself for failing my own, personal standards. I am working to get this game started... somehow. Someone else may take over, but if not... do as Ben says and celebrate (as well as what aiden says and vote off the last person to post). I am sorry. I apologize. I did not want to… I…
