Lego wants you to make fan games – and it may even publish them
The Lego Group – the company responsible for the colourful plastic bricks that have been used to build everything from Portal test chambers to a GTX 1660-powered gaming PC – recently unveiled a partnership with Unity, allowing fans to build Lego-based games in the process of learning game creation. Now, the company is looking at potentially publishing the best fan games that emerge from that partnership.
The Lego Microgame is a learning tool for Unity that introduces the basics of the Unity engine through pleasantly familiar Lego bricks. It’s downloadable from the Unity store, and you can use it to snap together your own Lego game with easy-to-use, ready-made assets.
