Hello, Bay12. Not good at making OPs, but I figure this is something some of you might be interested in.

This game was recently put on Early Access.
It looks a lot like Minecraft but seems to be very heavily focused on the building aspects, instead of survival and all that jazz.

I don't have it yet but I plan on getting it this weekend once I have some cash and I'll fill out a better OP then once I've gotten some first hand knowledge.

So, for you people who like LEGO out there, I recommend at least looking at this.

Here is a PCgamer article, it has the trailer and the opinions of an underpaid writer, plus some screenshots.

And the Steam page. Looks like people have a lot of good stuff to say about it.

Alright, got the game, first impressions:
This game is neat, that is for sure. The camera can be a problem, and vehicles that destroy blocks act a little weird, but overall, the game is very smooth. The devs seem to know what's up with the community, and they have made many of the lego games we all know and maybe love.

Just don't go into it expecting a survival game. People might liken this game to Minecraft, but it is not. This game is focused much more on exploration and building.

The music is nice. Definitely fits with the whole exploration theme, and the game looks great if you can handle the high settings.

Performance is iffy, but it's an early access game, optimizations are planned, no doubt.

Is it worth the 15 dollars right now?

Depends. If you only want to explore, you might get bored quickly, but if you're in it for the building, then you're in for a treat for a long time. Just remember that this isn't the finished product.

I have always said LEGO should make LEGO Creator 2
But they never did
So some guy made Minecraft
Because LEGO wouldn't.

This looks to be the closest we're ever going to get to LC2.

This is LEGO's version of Minecraft Totally Not Minecraft. Of course, it seems to have some different ideas than Minecraft and some better building controls. I'll pay attention to it in case it lives up to it's promise.

Looks like it has better building controls. I'll keep track of it, I guess.

but will there be multiplayer?

but will there be multiplayer?

It is planned, and I'm sure the devs know that it would be vital to the game's longevity to have it.

It does indeed look like Totally Not Minecraft(tm)...  Let's hope it fares better than LEGO Universe; that barely cleared the year mark before they shut it down.

[Urist McScoopbeard]

Well that's good news. On another note, since I didn't catch it in the Steam description, I assume we can customize the planes, helicopters, and cars??? Can we build our own from scratch???

[Facekillz058]

Sadly, I don't think the vehicles are customizable, but it's a very requested feature, and the devs seem to care what we think? They DID sticky a 'wishlist' thread of features so fingers crossed.

if they follow through on said customizable vehicles I will prepare the money catapult.

What can be awesome for vehicles and such would be to implement the Mindstorms sets. That can add some flexibility to the mix.

Wow, after watching that, I want the game even more. Payday in two weeks, lets go, spacetime continuum.

This game sounds pretty awesome. I'll have to shell out some cash if I ever get the opportunity.
