the best memories just come back when i saw the HD green crystrals fell to the ground. this game IS my childhood. I saw my parents smiling at me with fully black hair, and i was just the kid, no worries about marriage, no worries about money to make, dont know what is pressure, just wandering in the underworld, exploring. this is not just a game to me. i really hare tears. Thank you, my buddy. my gratefulness to you is beyond words.
A great remake! Downloaded it today, and I must say, I'm even more pleasantly surprised than I expected to be! This is an HD remake of my childhood. Can't wait for the Lego Logo remake ;)
Fantastic job! Exceptionally faithful to the original and very fun! I have two suggestions having played most of the campaign.
The cargo carrier is presently useless in the face of the tunnel transport (not your fault of course, it was removed from the original game after all!) My suggestion would be to allow the cargo carrier to transport 4 or so miners if it isn't carrying a vehical.
The other suggestion is a variation on the dispense option from the tool store, have a button for transport vehicals (and possibly miners) that will cause them to run to a tool store you select and pick up a resource (or multiple for transports), they will not put the resource back at least for a few seconds (or possibly it could be locked to them with a toggle). This allows for easier loading of say, a small transport filled with studs, to be taken by a cargo carrier.
Again fantastic job! I hope this project gets to be everything you want it to be!
This is totally astonishing work, I'm at a loss for words... I was just thinking back to the old days when I used to play Lego Rock Raiders as a child, and today I just kind of searched it up for fun. When I found THIS however, I was mindblown.
I just started playing around 10 minutes ago, and now I can pick up crystals and use the shovel in eye/shoulder mode!!?!?? My dream has come true! I'm gonna enjoy this for a good while :D
I'm genuinely impressed by your work so far. The level of detail of the models, excellent animations, high quality graphics and it also runs as smooth as whipped cream. I hope you take your time with this game and don't get burnt out, your work so far is superb.
I've recently heard of the Lego Rock Raiders game, and, being a fan of RTSs, I wanted to try it out, but I didn't have a working copy. Then I found out about this. It's really good and definitely has a lot of potential. Keep up the good work!
That's a really great remake! I think you should make the game a little bit darker, maybe by adding some fog? Anyway, I'm waiting for monsters update! :D
Hey, this might mean running the engine is not supported on your computer. Please consult the troubleshooting. If this is persistent, you might need to use another DirectX version. Currently the game supports DX11 and DX12, but I can compile for DX10 and DX9 too, even Vulkan and some older graphics methods. These will likely be uploaded as special versions here when I feel a "last patch" for V0.3 is ready.
Thank you so much for creating this!! Please keep up the great work, and if you ever start accepting donations, I will gladly send you a great many dollars!
Man, I remember my dad and I being impressed by the cutscenes in RR when I was a kid. It almost feels like I'm playing those cutscenes now, but even more detailed. I love the details and little secrets and especially chiefs corner. I think chiefs corner has a lot of potential for longevity and replayability. Maybe something to consider but I was thinking that the chiefs corner could be implemented with sort of a community shop where people can upload their creations and set a price. I think it would be cool having some really expensive items and always seeing new stuff appear. (I've also been wondering about the possibilites of mulitplayer. Maybe a long shot, but possibly coop or a sort of "deathmatch" mode similar to dungeon keeper? Or even just a splitscreen mode where player 2 could control a miner using a gamepad)
Anyways, I love the work you're doing, I'm so happy to see my childhood come back to life in this way. Can't wait to see what you do with the monsters. Keep up the good work Baraklava! :D
BTW, Im SO SO SO SO happy I found this project! Loved Rock Raiders as a kid, love it still, love your AI scripting. Played Baz's Mod a lot, can't wait for this project to reach full completion!
You have done excellent work so far with this re-make, the level of detail is really impressive. I tried the latest version with vehicles added last night and the vehicles seem to work very well.
I would gladly contribute for this awesome project on a Kickstarter (or something like that). I have read your FAQ and I hope you will really consider it later. All work deserves to be rewarded. ;)
In addition, this would give visibility to your project and help to make it discover to people who would be pleased to see these Lego bricks come back to life in such a beautiful way. ;)
You could maybe even develop an entirely new story-driven-campaign, depending on the promotion success, no?
My idea of a Randomly generated map requires a bit more balancing than simply making a random map, however if you look at the pinned posts in the Discord server's #modding channel, vyldr has created a random map generator that probably does what you want!
That's so impressive, Lego Rock Raiders is my favourite Lego Classic Games and your project remind me a lot of memory. The work done is so impressive, a lot of mission already available, nice graphics, and I was really surprise of the level editor which is so nice. Probably one of the greatest fan game I've ever seen. Thank you so much for this work.

What engine is this made with, by the way?
Keep up the good work!
Thank you! It is made in Unreal Engine 4. Hope to see you when the next version launches!
I can't believe you're offering this for free. After all the time I've spent trying to make rock raiders work, I would've gladly paid for this.
Only complaint is the cargo carrier should have something to make it worthwhile instead of the tunnel transport. I agree with peter.
I absolutely love this and I'm excited to see where you take it in the future!

Yes yes and YES! Just like the original game but better as far as being remastered! Missing some elements like monsters but I am having a blast! :)

This is so Awesome. And the graphics looks so much better than the origonal. Very cool project.
OMG thanks a lot for this! i was just reinstalling the original (with all the troubles), but this makes my day.
That's a really great remake! I think you should make the game a little bit darker, maybe by adding some fog? Anyway, I'm waiting for monsters update! :D
Fog is possibly coming later, but you have full access to regular lighting settings in the Quick Settings menu in the upper right corner!
It crashed my graphics driver :(

This means a lot to me. For real. I have a lot of nostalgia for this game and playing this has made me so happy. Thank you!

How do i remove the dx12 command line argument?

Hey! No donations, sorry, I'm firm on that one. Keep up to date on the Discord with other ways to potentially contribute though!
