Building Legends (videogame concept)

Back

Building Legends is an online sandbox building game developed by user WikiMan. Its design and mechanics is akin to that of Minecraft, but unlike the former, Building Legends has an isometric view instead of a perspective.

Features

 * Building - The building feature is the core of Building Legends. It consists in allowing the player to build by the placing, removing and replacing of "Blocks". The player starts with basic Blocks, which are like cubes, but the player can later obtain different types of blocks -such as cylinders, stairs, pyramids, domes, etc- by either buying, exchanging or "crafting" these blocks.


 * Viewing - Another key component of the game, it allows the player to navigate across the isometric world and shift through different views, such as the isometric view, the "front" view and the "top" view. Players can also "turn around" -i.e. rotate the camera- in the front, top and isometric views. Also, players can look "inside" enclosed places like houses, buildings or rooms.


 * Avatars - Players can customize their avatars (either male or female) with several garments and accesories available in their "closet". Furthermore, they an choose their avatar's hairstyle, eyes and color skin, a mechanism not unlike that of Gaia Online. Also available is the "Dream Avatar" section where they can personalize their avatars with anything they like, no matter the availability or the cost of the choosen items.


 * Buying - Building Legends allows players to use their "earnings" for buying special items and blocks, both for their avatars and their worlds. The player can also exchange items with others of selling them for earnings. Those earnings can either be found underground as Gold, Gemstones or other precious minerals, can be won by winning eventual contests, or donated to their "friends" under certain situations.
