These still aren’t properly in-game, but they’re nevertheless a lovely target for Lego Universe to aim for. Apparently the idea of “build” underlies this latest release of images and, according to LEGO themselves, it “represents the power of building and customization that is core to the LEGO Universe experience.” And furthermore “players will be able to build with an abundant supply of virtual bricks. And they’ll be able to add these creations to their own personal space or to areas within the game’s diverse environments.” The game is due some time in 2010, and is being developed by NetDevil in conjunction with the toy brick geniuses themselves.

My Childhood: The MMO

I’m trying really hard not to get excited about this yet. Not until there’s some actual in-game footage. It’s a hard thing to do, I’ll tell you that.

This is one MMO I’m hoping will be good and that it wont stick to the same cliches every other MMO does. Which if they are trying to make it appeal to children then it surely could not because it would have to be fun all throughout to keep them interested which should keep anyone interested in playing it.

I love the fact that you can build something in the game, and get them to ship you the parts in order to build it in real life!

probably interfaces with LDD somehow as that does the same thing http://ldd.lego.com/
pricey for the end result though!

*sigh* Makes me wish the old free lego-ripoff version of Blockland was still around.
