Just a thought which might help gather people together and create more and better tracks
Is anyone interested in starting a theme build where everybuilder builds his/hers track around one single theme ( decided upon in here ) . Wouldnt matter what platform your on also it could possibly just using a certain amout of objects. Surely one of the mods would gladly oversee it all and so forth. Just an idea to try and create a better atmosphere for builders and maybe give some people insperation when give a set target so to speak. Proberly lots of better ideas than what i have stated could be added. Keeping in mind though of new builders without experience and so on.
Maybe it could be done monthly , just a bit of fun and no judging or anything , let track central do that lol. Should be fun to see what people can make out of lets say one theme using say no more then 10 of the same objects.
If not that idea then something else but its our community , come on guys watch the lego movie. theres a builder in all of us and everything is awsome lol![]()
Nice idea. There are sooo many fantastic builders out there that it would be nice to see how they would create a certain theme and surely a monthly build off(without judging, just praising and having fun) would inspire everyone who struggles with theme ideas. Or it could be a challenge: "Can you do this in the editor?"
Cool idea, reminds me of the 120min made tracks. In terms of themes I think it's more an incentive if the themes/ideas or whatever stays simple, just like the 120min track idea, to keep the newcomers interested instead of focusing around a more complex theme like movies/videogames etc. Maybe tracks only using the basic shapes, or a simple track using only terrain mods to make the dl, physics only track, a 2d track. Or other ideas that lets newcomers get familiar with the editor.
Nice idea funktastic, maybe an underwater theme could be a good one with the latest dlc being heavily themed around water? Also I think a random generator would be cool, Example - industrial theme - physics on- night time...? Meh I dunno, best to not complicate things :P Making it for fun and the challenge is a good enough idea.
Cool , sounds like some people are interested
Lets rally the troops and get more input and hopefully we can come up with something interesting and fun for us all to join in
If we get enough who want to do it then maybe first thing to do would be to gather ideas and decide which way to take it. I guess it doesn't really matter how many want to do it at the start because if within the works title you incorporate something regarding this then i would have thought people would wonder and start to ask and maybe join in.
Example of an idea i was thinking of
Monthly challange to create - industrial theme / using terrain mods / Only scaffolding objects / Physics on.
that way people get to learn the the terrain mod / only have to think about being creative with one set of objects and learn an event. this obviously could change from month to month. Maybe only have the rules set to the driving line , who knows.
I think this will be fun
Oh yeah rishaan i don't know what the 120min tracks were , i didnt play evo , what are they ?
don't know if itthe tracks were judged but there was some kind of competition where builders would try and make a track with a decent dl and deco in 120 minutes. I didnt compete myself, but I do remember seeing some cool tracks. (great driving lines, cause you can't really create an entire world in 2 hours :P)Originally Posted by funktastic- Go to original post
Great idea, it'd be great fun to see people's work when it's set in a similar theme/build guideline. We had some community theme contests in Evo Gold in the past and especially the results of the medieval/castle theme build really impressed me as they were so diverse yet build around similar things like castles/dragons.
It pushed me to try new things and use different combinations of objects in new ways, I remember I had horses made out of pipelines and sheep made from tires :P
