At Three Melons we are very proud to announce that the teaser version of the game Lego Star Wars: Quest for R2-D2 was released:

Wait, Lego Star Wars, that very well known game was made with Unity ?

 

That's really nice, congrats on this. I could only play for a minute at since I'm at work but sent my son the link, he loves the lego games on xbox. Very nice Unity work!

Nice, congratz!

On the german keyboard Z and Y are flipped, making it harder to play. (Camera movement is also a bit hard for my taste).

 

This game (Quest for R2D2) is a web game made with Unity for the Lego Web Site.

This version is a teaser version. The full game will be released in two months and it will have 15 levels, more enemies, a massive singleplayer component and much more.

 

Nice, wish you best luck

 

Hi Diego,

Will the finished game be boxed or web only? If boxed for what platforms?

 

Hi Diego,

many nice games on your homepage. Great!

 

The game is actually a little addictive

Nice work!

 

This. Is. Awesome.

Thank you for creating another installment in one of my favorite gaming franchises. I love pretty much everything but the snappy camera.

 

It is superb

 

Holy pants, that is AWESOME! Lego Star Wars rocks and my 6 yr old was sooo excited when he saw it!!!

Can't wait to play the full version - if you need any beta testers, please please give me a shout

Congrats!

 

Awesome game. Really fun.

 

Very nice. The Lego games are so much fun.

 

Ha ha ha! Thats great.

Thanks for making this.

 

Great use of Unity

How are the level lighting done ?
the lights affects characters, and all things,
doesen't seem to be lightmaps.

 

A game like this doesn't make any sense with the arrow keys / digital control, but plugging in a gamepad while the game is running already works great! Amazing!

It's really awesome to me that Unity has achieved this level of success. Congrats to UT, and you!

Unity + Star Wars. <3 <3 <3 8)

 

Now I am envious of you guys getting to make a Unity game based on Lego and Star Wars. That is basically all my favorites in one sentence

Good stuff, looking forward to see more!

 

I actually spent a good amount of time playing the game

Although I think there is one pretty big flaw and that's with the keyboard.
On my keyboard (Swiss French) have a look at both the Z and X keys: http://farm1.static.flickr.com/195/494081498_7dc27a1c06.jpg?v=0

They are pretty far apart (unlike on a US keyboard) and that makes the game unpleasing to play.
IMO, you should change that. French keyboards don't have the same layout neither. It's gonna be hard for kids to play I think.

Except for that, it's a really good game.
Congrats!

 

Very well done!

 

Thanks all for the comments.

Regarding to future releases. The game will be available on Cartoon Network and StarWars.com with some modifications (character that you could use, exclusive levels and so on). A second part of the game will be probably arranged to do in the next months.

The game will not be available for other platforms like consoles.

We are working on this. Thanks for the feedback. It's very very useful for us.

 

Awesome work guys!

 

Where there any specific instructions given to you in order to make your game a distinctly different product than the ones from Traveler's Tales(ex: crystals instead of studs)?

Also, I mentioned this earlier, but I think having the camera locked explicitly to the character is a little jarring. If you jitter left and right, the camera does as well. I think there should be some sort of dead zone to prevent this.

 

Truly Brilliant! Well Done indeed!

Matt.

 

cant be played with a german keyboard either i guess we are not welcome

looks great otherwise though

 

Yeah - really cool but finger-breaking on a german keyboard. It's a flaw many flash games have, as well.

If it's keyboard only I'd vote for Ctrl and Shift (or Alt if it doesn't interfere with the browser window).

Otherwise really kickass.

 

Awesome work. Really fun to see the Clone Wars guys in a Lego game. Close to my heart too as I was the Lead Designer on the Clone Wars DS game over at Lucas

 

Congratulations Diego, this is fantastic!

 

The level lighting is just a slightly complex setup of vertex lights! We needed to keep the requirements low because LEGO users are kids with very low end machines

It was fun to have that constraint though...
