putting minifigures in a blender tends to make them animated

[SARCASM] [/SARCASM] Sincere apologies to anyone possibly offended by this "Joke"

Update: http://pdf.irpocket.com/C3659/irQp/PIKT/cXkH.pdf And the logo image directly ripped from the PDF... Good as we're gonna get for now: ... I think they may have set a new record for "most generic LEGO game name"... HEY REMEMBER HOW IT WAS GONNA RELEASE IN ASIA FIRST I GUESS IT DID OR SOMETHING AT LEAST A MONTH AGO AND WE DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE LOL The guy with the gold tooth/white skin/eye thing in the thumbnail is named Brickster ^ Also there's this guy and his design is just fantastic

please don't throw minifigs in the blender your mother will be furious

Looks like an amalgamation of stuff, including bits from the collectible Vampire. The Brickster's face is also edited from a real face, they changed the skin color and gave him a different eye... thing: Also: 9:18 PM - PeabodySam: So there's a weird desert world that's an amalgamation of Ninjago's snakes, wild west, Pharaoh's Quest, and a random dinosaur. 9:20 PM - PeabodySam: This is Unreal Engine. 9:20 PM - Terrev: wHAT When I go to the Google Play entry, it just shows this... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nexon.legoquestandcollectcbt ... But, using Google's cache: The images: The description on the Google Play page says it was a beta test, also confirms there's gonna be PvP (though watching the videos I'm not sure if it's actual PvP or just you fighting against another player's team controlled by AI...). Try running this through Google Translate (also, it links to a website for the game): AAAALSO... From the official website: Heh. The terrain looks like the old raised baseplates. The website's image file names call Scarlet (who seems to be the main character) an "angel". She, a police officer named Ms. Cuffs, and Kai are your starting team - 2/3rds female. (Upon watching more videos, it seems they remain the main characters of the story even when you play as other characters.) The opening cutscene also starts with a lego bird majestically flying over a forest while a lady sings beautifully. The villain character designs feel like they're straight out of a JRPG or something (hell, compare the Brickster to Flotsam, a villain from Dark Cloud 2). The facial animation in the pre-rendered clips throughout the first level could be better, but otherwise those clips look really neat. Overall there's a lot of stuff in this that feels really unusual and fresh for a LEGO game and I kind of love that. Makes me wish LEGO worked with more varied developers around the world more often. I'm hoping the gameplay is more on point than LMO - I haven't watched all the footage yet but there seems to be a time limit for completing levels, which seems like it'd make it more interesting. There's the looming microtransactions but... I'm still kinda interested in this? I do wonder if this will make its way to the US or other regions - I could easily see LEGO deeming it as something the US market/other markets wouldn't find appealing... Or maybe they'd "localize" it? Time will tell I guess. MOAR EDITS: Watching the footage a bit more and WOW the LMO vibes are strong with this. Basic gameplay and focus on character selection aside, it even has the power bricks system, almost completely identical to how it was in LMO (before it got cut from that game) - and much of the UI is very similar to the counterparts in LMO too. Prof mentioned some of the UI elements were lifted from Chima Online, as well... Though with TT being involved in both I guess that's less surprising. There are some things it looks like it does better than LMO though - the selection of characters is more interesting to me as it's not just collectible minifigs, and while the game does have a hint of generic-ness to it it still feels like it has more personality than LMO (the major boss battles especially, though I'm concerned with how quickly the player defeated them). The main story is also broken up into smaller levels you're ranked and timed on, which I like. Looks above average for a LEGO mobile game. King Kahuka is corrupted by the Mad Creator but is promptly defeated when he's crushed by a rock and a pizza simultaneously. The next level is a boss fight with a "Stone Golem" that's like a beefed up version of the Crystal King from Power Miners. Also at one point a quickbuild appeared for an "Unsightly Ice Fairy". I dunno what it would have done if built but it made me laugh.

The Elves specials have been airing on Disney Channel, but next year they're moving to Netflix as a series (possibly to make up for Bionicle's absence). There is a teaser up now on the Elves homepage. Turns out they are tweaking the artstyle - the characters look like minidolls now and the sets look like they're built from lego bricks. It looks... kind of bad, but I can't tell if its a direct result of the style change or just a lower budget sort of issue. It'll probably be clearer when there is more than 17 seconds to watch.

8:44 PM - PeabodySam: Gilbert the Bad is in this. 8:45 PM - PeabodySam: Wha-? 8:45 PM - Terrev: what 8:45 PM - PeabodySam: ... 8:45 PM - Terrev: ?! 8:45 PM - Terrev: he is?! 8:45 PM - PeabodySam: I repeat my earlier statement. 8:45 PM - PeabodySam: This looks like (even if it doesn't play like) what Dimensions should have been. 8:45 PM - PeabodySam: 10:56 of that "Part 1" gameplay video. 8:45 PM - PeabodySam: Vladek at 10:59. 8:45 PM - Terrev: dang 8:46 PM - PeabodySam: Kahuka at 11:08. 8:46 PM - PeabodySam: That pirate in the thumnbail is "Nobeard". 8:46 PM - PeabodySam: Redbeard sports his 2016 look. 8:46 PM - PeabodySam: 2009 Broadside is just called "Royal Feather", meh. 9:05 PM - PeabodySam: Y'know, what I'm honestly surprised (and, admittedly, pleased) about is the apparent lack of Chima. Some quick and dirty screencaps... I'm suddenly kinda interested in this...

It has been prophesied that one day a LEGO game will be created. This forum is a shrine created in preparation. Sometimes we pretend LEGO games have already come to our world, and that we mod them. Seriously though, to answer your question, you can play around with engines like Unity or Unreal if you wanna. Plenty of tutorials online for both.

My feelings on this are pretty mixed. It's cool to see Kahuka and Vladek and f****ing Gilbert the Bad, and I'm really happy they were able to go with a woman as the protagonist - for like the first time in a lego game not aimed specifically at girls. That's a pretty big deal. The unique characters/worlds are also pretty cool, and I like how they take a lot of queues from the source material to maintain a sense of consistency with other branches of Lego (the city you start out in looks a lot like the Lego City from the commercials, the hills in Pirate world textured like the raised plate in Rock Island Refuge, etc.). What puts me off is how the game is set up for microtransactions, and the really strong parallels to Minifigures Online. I thought playing Minifigures was super boring, so from an actual gameplay standpoint, I'm pretty sure I'm not going to get a lot of mileage out of this game. I'll probably play it when/if it launches in the US, but when it comes down to it what is really going to be interesting to me is how they treat the world and specifically what they do with classic themes.

This implies that said minifigures won't be furious

Honestly haven't decided just yet. Still very much going on with planning for the Alpha but I'll let you know when this is more finalized.

Yeah, that was definitely the goal with staying quiet for so long. There's a lot you can accomplish when very few people ever ask or even know. That said, all of us here are working our hardest to make things even better for the Alpha. Thank you! It definitely has felt great to finally show the world our progress, which surpasses all other servers out there. We're going to open up donations later on, no date or if it'll be around before the Alpha but we're going to strictly take donations for server costs only. No profit or other use for the money besides it. And thanks for the offer! I'll keep that in mind when we do more promotional stuff, would love something nice like those.
