Maxim Ivanov Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Hello lego maniacs. I think what i'm not one, who wanna create LEGO Racers remastered. I wanna share with you what i have for that moment. This is my graduating college project and think, what end with little demo at the end of May. I'm really junior on programming. Maybe you can give me some advices and this will be really grate! My big problem for now this is AI for enemies. ML-Agents really dark thing. and mapping, because i'm more specialist with programming then 3D modeling. All LEGO models was imported with Blender Ldraw addom.Thank you for your attention. https://pasteboard.co/JXILb5C.pnghttps://pasteboard.co/JXILPbt.pnghttps://pasteboard.co/JXIM4c8.pnghttps://pasteboard.co/JXIMcxN.png phenix8fr, mumboking and Ayliffe 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeebTube Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Awesome. If you're interested in recreating old voiceover from the original game, I'm available; how many assets from LEGO Racers are to be ripped vs. new? Maxim Ivanov 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw video with old voices and think they sounds cool in our time. I mean their quality on high level. I don't have powerbricks sounds pickup and using sound (canonball shot, oil trap and etc.). But first, need to train my enemies "drive normally". and after that, i can build next level of "pyramid". Build a base first, you know.

Jimbob Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 This is really awesome! Are you hoping to take it beyond a single race if things go well, or will it remain a demo project? Best of luck in figuring out the AI, worst case scenario you could cheat like the original developers did and have them operate on a set path Maxim Ivanov 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxim Ivanov Posted April 18, 2021 Author Share Posted April 18, 2021 I hope what future demo isn't end point. Anyway i need to receive the permission for any kind of publishing from HIGH VOLTAGE studio. I already write to them year before, but didn't get any response, sadly :( . I don't want a situation like with guys who try make remake of New Vegas of F3? on Fallout 4 engine and they got many problems with original developer.

Maxim Ivanov Posted May 2, 2021 Author Share Posted May 2, 2021 Off topic thing. I have the original LEGO Racers disk with russian licensed translation. I want to collect all discs with a similar design (i mean side face position). I know what Rock Riders and Legoland games have same design. Thanks for attention.

baraklava Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Just so you don't have to re-do all the models: Please look into flat/smooth shading of 3D models, the ones in the photo above all have flat shading which makes them look incredibly blocky. Models usually require a combination of smooth and flat edges, this can actually be automated in Blender using the Edge Split modifier, if you're using that. I can't tell if all the models have this issue, but the sooner you fix it the better things will look! Maxim Ivanov 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use Ldraw to blender addon for exporting lego models. Addon has the setting for increasing model quality, but many high quality models on unity scene makes FPS lower, which is bad I really want my models to look good, but my lack of knowledge of blender does not give me the chance to make models better. I am also limited in time, because, firstly, this is my college project, in which I act as a programmer, not a 3D designer. And with creating the game i need do many paperwork... If everything goes well, then over time I will polish the outer parts of the game, since for me now the mechanics of the game are in higher priority than the models. And now i can understand indie game devs feels, so much work for one guy, if you have no team i mean. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxim Ivanov Posted May 4, 2021 Author Share Posted May 4, 2021 Little video about main menu progress. All menu on Russian language special for my college project. I created a new "LEGO Racers font" design for Russian alphabet. in the future everything will be in English. Cirevam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming I continue to have free time, once the programming of the game is mostly done I'm happy to help out with the Blender side of things as I have a little experience doing that sort of thing Maxim Ivanov 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
