Planning time: Concept -> Design -> Implementation -> Polish
(thanks swiftspear)
Concept:
A lego modification for TA spring featuring two currently planned races. The overall gameplay style I personally would like to see would be that of a very intense, fast-paced game that results in battles and skirmishes that have a sense of "power" about them. I want to see units get annihilated and have their blocks go flying everywhere.
-Races (thanks Maelstrom)
The EGADS (Evil Government Attack Drone/Death/Doom/Danger Squad), and the MAG (Minifigs Against the Goverment)?
And for the sides, the EGADS have the sleek, efficent, but specialized, single purpous units, which are fairly strong, but usless out of their element, while the MAGs have the random combining of everything, with gun sticking off every point on the thing. The MAGs would be failry weak, but spammable, with not many specialised units, while the EGADS have to rely on inteligence to pick out what to do, as the wrong unit choice renders them totally useless.
-Resources (modified idea from maelstrom)
Metal=Blocks
Energy=B.B.C (block binding compound?)
And resourse ideas, have BBC Farms that harvest BBC. Blocks would be 'grown' from metal patches (very slowly).
BBC would just be manufactured from a factory and would replace the Energy resource. Blocks would be required to make units, with the exception of mini-figs. Buildings, tanks, etc.... and especially uber-mechs would require LOTS of blocks.
Design:
I currently have several friends from school aiding me with modelling. 1 is doing sketches, the other is doing weapons for the minifigs.
P3374H and bwansy are working on (i think) the airforce for the EGADS race.
I am modelling, texturing, scripting, testing, and implimenting everything else (so far)
Any further help would be appreciated.
Unit Concepts:
MAG Race: (thanks Kixxe)
Level 1 lego builder
Basic builder, builds pretty slow, but can use sevral of them to speed it upp. Can build alone to, but much less effective. *shuld they have a gun?*
Level 1 Gunman
Basic lego grunt, with a medium assualt rifle. Can climb most heights like most lego ''men''
Level 1 gunman (laser edition)
With a fast shooting laser. Hits very otfen, pretty good as AA.
Level 1 missileman (needs another name)
Slower the a gunman, and lower reload time. Effective against vehicles.
Level 1 Jeep
A pretty fast level one jeep, with the driver inside.
Level 1 lego ''bot''
A andreoid, with much lower reaction time and aim time, but more hp and damage.
Level 2 swimmerman
A lego dude that can swim. Swims ontop of water, maybe some cloaking?
Level 2 Kamakazieman
Trained to be crazy. YELLS when moved. (wheelbarrow full of TNT)
Level 2 Special tank
A tank that has 1 barrel, and 2 lego gunmen sitting in 2 places in it.
Level 2 BFB (big f***** bot)
Think huge. Now think lego. Now mix.
So thats all i really have for now. Im going to try and finish the MAG race first.
Anyone able to create/modify/record sounds? Some custom sounds would be awesome!
And finally, the MAG and EGADS commanders, side by side: (MAG on left)
...the EGADS com nanolathes with his big evil red eyes...
