So the game launched today. I've played about seven or eight hours today and I'm loving it. There's some stuff with the build tools, tutorials, and UI that could use some polish, but the underlying game... Man, so many moments where I just had a huge smile on my face, or just went "WHOA", and I've hardly scratched the surface. The new game structure is surprisingly good - previously, the game was mostly a matter of running around aimlessly until you found a treasure chest, where you'd get a random item. The worlds now starting smaller and gradually increasing in size has an unexpectedly strong benefit - you can explore them completely, and there's reason to want to do so with the new missions from NPCs and such everywhere. The rocket and galaxy map and how seamless going between worlds is makes it all feel like a cohesive universe you're exploring, which coupled with what I just said about the individual worlds, really gives the game a lot more life. You get into a cycle of exploring, doing stuff, getting gold bricks, blasting off to new worlds, then finding stuff there that you can bring back to worlds you've already been to and explore them more thoroughly... Previously the worlds in the game felt so disposable I usually deleted them regularly, now it feels like I'm exploring a whole galaxy and each world I've been to feels like an important part of it. I've played the game all day today but I wanna keep playing, and explore more places (I haven't even seen any towns or dungeons yet!), and find the Night Trader again and get more mysterious stuff from her, and oh man I'm gonna be playing this for a while... Also. That screenshot with the forestman in the pirates rowboat. And all the screenshots with the forestman in the woods and by the castle ruins. This game has such a pure, classic, timeless LEGO feel to it and I love it.

[10:05 PM] The Road Warrior: I wouldn't really be able to give you an answer without going full psycho on you. [10:05 PM] The Road Warrior: Uhh [10:05 PM] The Road Warrior: Psychologist. [10:05 PM] The Road Warrior: I have a bad habit of shortening that word down. [10:05 PM] The Road Warrior: Anyways.

Juniper - Today at 3:26 PM IDK about anyone else but I spend far too long weighing the pros and cons to decide which cocaine to get a game on if there are multiple ports Ayliffe - Today at 3:27 PM tbh I wouldn't buy any games with cocaine when you could just use money Juniper - Today at 3:27 PM Shhh

What the title says. I don't really have anything to add. I was just suddenly curious and decided to ask.

Download: https://www.rockraidersunited.com/files/dl-r476/ You have to put in gamedata/common and in menudata/piecedb. It won't replace Robin Hood's or Sam Sinister's pieces.

Boredom + Watching LEGO Island Cutscenes on Youtube = this... thing. Its a random Work in Progress, just for fun. Unfortunately, I just can't export animations from the program I'm using to animate stuff like this (Source Filmmaker). It does export animations, but when imported it causes the character to implode. (Also ignore how ugly the Bill Ding "Model" is. @Xiron never made a proper Bill Ding model, so this was just Nubby Stevens, a Rock Raider, and a Cap prop all Frankensteined together)

@RingtailI love you! ♥ Yep, they're the VLP (very low poly) models, instead of the LP/MP/HP models I was expecting. They are incredibly sad looking. Well, I've got more of a plan to import these now, and at least I can see a RR walk: http://i.imgur.com/J0okwwL.gifv (ignore the missing polys and jerky animation.) Now I need to actually go about doing this programmatically and replacing the nulls. Oh joy, what a lot of "fun" stuff to do! Thanks. I'm sure I'll have more questions in the future.

Since this wasn't mentioned in this thread yet, the previously released versions of the game are available for re-download (and apparently only temporarily, going by earlier comments): http://steamcommunity.com/app/332310/discussions/0/133258593392374689/
