Here's some snips from somebody's LinkedIn page that says a bit about Funcom's work on LEGO Fusion games: https://www.linkedin.com/in/victorobretin http://i.imgur.com/HQstWcQ.png http://i.imgur.com/prqQoF9.png https://github.com/epsilone/Race2Mars Also... This project doesn't scream "LEGO" but it seems it might actually be LEGO-related too. One of the progress report videos sent from Funcom to LEGO shows a folder on an iPad for Funcom LEGO projects, and it's in there, along with LEGO Fishtank and LEGO Elements (which seems to be the origins of LEGO Worlds?). I opened the project in Unity, and while it's pretty rough/incomplete, it had a bit of a resemblance to LEGO Portal Racers... Moving a spaceship left/right to dodge things, and stopping at shop along the way to apparently do stuff to your ship. Also, we already knew that LEGO Portal Racers was intended to be a LEGO Fusion game at one point. So... Huh. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I'm not sure about if discussing the nitty gritty specifics of everything here would be a good idea... It's seriously baffling that the devs made these projects public; there's source code and compiled builds for both LEGO Fishtank (a canceled LEGO Fusion game) and Brickizens (later developed into LEGO Fusion Town Master by TT). Fishtank is by far the most complete of the two, while Brickizens has pretty next to no functionality besides walking around. There's also video footage of "LEGO Elements", which seems to be a relatively basic LEGO Worlds for mobile devices with LEGO Fusion-style scanning mixed in. All of them are/were made with Unity. In regards to Brickizens/Town Master, it's interesting to note that this super early prototype has some of the same building/path designs seen in the final version of the game created by TT (which runs on TT's own engine instead of Unity). That, plus what was said on that guy's LinkedIn profile, and what happened to Portal Racers, all seems to suggest the LEGO Fusion games were first imagined and outlined by LEGO Future Labs, and then given to developers to actually make (rather than the devs coming with and pitching the game concepts themselves). So, at some point, LEGO must have decided to take LEGO Fusion away from Funcom and give it to TT instead.

So, uh, you know how Funcom worked with LEGO to make LMO? Before this, they pitched two apps to LEGO; Brickizen and Fish Adventure (technically Fishtank) http://i.imgur.com/Ay1uq3m.png And, you know, the logical thing to do when you're pitching apps to a company is to put them on a public github. https://github.com/epsilone/LEGO-Funcom https://github.com/epsilone/FishAdventure https://github.com/GordieRoss/BrickizensDemo Brickizens is essentially that LEGO Fusion Town Manager app in a really really early state. (also oh lord the animations are bad) I'll try to take some pictures of them soon, haven't had much time to mess with it yet. (quick edit: thanks to someone on Skype for telling me about these!)

And its done... 4 Weeks of dragon picture each day A total of 28 pictures (with exceptions to the occasional bonuses) But now I'm going to call it done, i probably will redo this sometime again i the future though. Hope ya enjoyed and remember... Say no to dragon slaying! Day 22 Day 23 Day 24 Day 25 Day 26 Day 27 Day 28 (Finale)

I first started designing Base Terranova over 2 years ago, but then I kinda abandoned the project as it wasn't turning out how I wanted it to be. After that, a few months ago I picked it up again and did a complete overhaul on the original design. Now, I am proud to finally present what is probably my biggest LEGO project to date: "Base Terranova - A RR HQ" Warning! Lots of pictures in the spoilers! Overview: Details of the ground floor: Details of the first floor: Details of the second floor: Details of the Top Floor: I hope you guys enjoyed looking through my newest RR model! Comments and feedback are welcomed to help improve on its design! ~A creation by RRChief~

http://store.steampowered.com/app/552100 Hollis linked me to this yesterday. Seems to be a WIP sandbox game where you can build, drive, and destroy LEGO* vehicles with what looks to be a decent physics/destruction system. Looks like the building system allows for SNOT and stuff, too. I dunno if I'm interested enough to buy it, but maybe it'd tickle the interest of somebody here. Going by the first video uploaded of the game, it runs on Unreal 4. *Not technically LEGO but totally LEGO

As the title says, things didn't go as planned. It may not look too bad, but I have to show you some trouble spots. Severe warping around one side of the print, resulting in a malformed motor mounting point. CURA actually thought I wanted to print the interior of the holes of the upper frame mounts, as opposed to the geometry of the frame mounts themselves. I don't know if this is CURA's fault or Sketchup's, though, but seeing as though I have had issues with Sketchup before and not CURA, I guess a few more precision F-Strikes directed at Trimble Navigation are needed. (EDIT: It turned out to be CURA, actually. It didn't like the overhanging parts.) Oh well, at least I can stick this in an arena for another bot to chew on as a durability test. Or just sick my antweight on it. (EDIT: Already did. Turns out there were more problems than just a bad print. The box portion of the frame held up but the weapon mount got torn apart pretty bad.)

Good timing, i though nobody would vote so i just finished drawing a pic about nobody voting I'll get to work on the picture now.

While looking through the game files, I came to realize that the intros of the circuits use their own model set as a background, not the full track. I wanted to check them all and I found this. Now, you can see that it's not the retail track, but one that is actually the same as this old screenshot down left. -> beta -> retail (Beta track files are in here \LEGO\MENUDATA\CIRCUIT5\AATRACK) It would be incredible if someone could figure out a way how to replace it and make it align with the rest of the geometry, but that's probably too hard for now. Thank you for reading

I can't stop laughing EDIT: Ok most discussion of this is taking place on Discord, will probably make some more posts once this has all been looked through. But it should be noted that the videos in LEGO-Funcom show what appears to be a prototype of LEGO Worlds, with LEGO Fusion style scanning mechanics mixed in. It seems the whole Fusion and Worlds thing might have started/been prototyped at Funcom then brought over to TT? There's over 46 minutes of video footage here not to mention the builds/project folders of Brickizens and the fish thingy, so yeah, this is gonna take some time to dissect and make sense of completely... ALSO, just to be safe, I'm gonna ask that we not upload screenshots or whatever of this stuff to the RRU gallery or anything. Hell, I'm not sure it's a good idea to even embed screenshots and stuff in posts, just in case LEGO finds this and doesn't want it public - we aren't hosting this stuff, we're just fans discussing it, and let's keep it that way.

Pfft, infotapiac is far better.

But mine isn't on Youtube... oh wait.

Sound like something is wrong with the Island Oh wait The Brickster destroyed it Totally could make a creepier version of the brickster bot variation of the song. Edit: Thought you guys would enjoy this Infomaniac rendition of it: http://puu.sh/kn8zD/7f20d4b184.mp3 (Are you red brick?)
