If you made a lego game, what would it be about?

Well, I keep seeing all these lame games come up about they're stupid main character aluxes and his RTP friends who go and find a crystal and defeat the lame RTP monsters...
So I decided to make a lego game XD! I thought it would be fun =P. So anyhow, I need some help. I dunno what to make the game about XD!
So does anybody have any ideas on what kind of lego game they would like to play?
 
If you hate RTP things so much, how about a game that's about the war of ''The Lego Army VS The RTP Army''.

Would be fun to play, you play as a Lego Soldier that can earn extra bricks and such to create new weapons to beat the RTP army.


Well, atleast that's what i think is fun.

I like this idea o.O
 
Some kind of Lego Final Fantasy game. No specific game parodied, so random appearances from different games.

Or pick one of the old "theme" Legos and make a game based around the backstory to that. There were loads of awesome sub sets released in the 90s, like the Medieval sets. Why not try doing some of those?

I'll consider it >.>
I still got time XD
I am just now finishing up the lego RMVX template XD.
 
Alright. I've never actually played a "Lego" game, but from reading reviews (horrible, terrible, biased by fat loads of Lucas cash reviews), I get the impression that somewhere in your Lego Games there is some "Lego Building."

So, what could set your game apart from, oh I don't know, fan games (that experience much derision), is to include events where you use Lego pieces to Build Something, and that something helps solve some kind of puzzle (in a particularly clever way).

Most RPG players like puzzles, so even if they hate Lucas (like me) and hate Lego (for the same reasons), they might still like your game if you find a way to incorporate Lego-Building puzzles in cool ways. Because, no matter how much all of us hate commercialism and George Lucas in general, we all have a soft spot for puzzles. So, 'build' on that precept.
 
An epic drama that ends with the climax of one lego dude having to sacrifice himself by giving his head to another lego dude who lost his somewhere behind the sofa.

I'm not familiar with lego games; are there any unique attributes other than the graphic style?
 
Nearly Infinate: Perhaps you should take a gander at MySims. ^^"

As for what i'd like to see in a Lego game, perhaps it could be like a Lego version of Harvest Moon. I don't mean an actual Lego version of that game, I mean taking the same concepts; you play a character you make yourself, working on a farm or plot of land, generally trying to stay alive.

nice!

and they're actually really neat games imo. they're puzzle-platformers, with a huge collect-a-thon factor. lego-clayface is probably the cutest thing ever, too. :}
 
I heard an MMO called LEGO Universe (universe.lego.com) is coming out soon. You could get a LOT of inspiration from it. Remember, try to make things cartoony and funny. When the main character dies, blow him up into various lego pieces. And another tip: If you look at LEGO Indiana Jones (a game), you'll see how they mixed LEGO with realistic modeling by Travelers Tale (C). Go to IGN.com and search LEGO Indiana Jones to see what I mean XD
 
Alright. Just thought I'd drop in and give my opinion.

First off: I can't see why you'd want to make a Lego game, considering that Legos are like....... toys....... and.... I don't know. It just seems strange to me. I mean, hell. I love Legos as much as the next guy. I've got boxes and boxes of the suckers, but a game just seems ridiculous, unless it's based around building.

My ideas:
1.) A lego simulator. Basically, you create a lego world. RMXP/VX difficulty? Quite near impossible, I'm sure. But still.
2.) A kind of.... do what you want with your Lego life game. Where you'd basically make a character, move out of your parent's and start meeting friends, building stuff for your new home... or just building your new home... maybe you'd get a job... Hell, basically Lego Life. I think it'd be neat.

3.) Anything that isn't already a movie. Yes... I play all of the Lego movie games with my cousins, but they're pretty young, and since the actual movies and movie games (not legos) are kind of violent and graphic, their parents think that the lego versions are great choices. I have to agree. But depending on what audience you're aiming for, I'd really suggest staying away from a fan game of a fan game of a movie.... if that makes sense.

4.) Something new. Maybe a futuristic, very creative and new extreme sports game. Where you find/buy/win/earn parts for your hoverboard or whatever. You can build on, customize your tools, whatever, ya know? Something different that still incorporates Lego Building.

5.) I particularly like the cyberpunk genre, even though... I don't really know what cyberpunk is, or where it came from, or how it really works... I just know that the games, concept art, and the basic ideas I've seen here on the forums are awesome. Something like that would be fun.

Good luck. There are my ideas. XD Have fun with it.
 
Maybe you dont choose acually Lego, but the concept from it. Like Mikee said, Lego Life, stay alive and get friends and stuff. That would be a neat idea for a MMO:D
 
I've considered it for RMVX, just not a Lego version. XD. This would be really neat to see though. Keep us posted, huh?
