Lego The Amazing Digital Circus video game concept
I was playing through Lego Jurassic World and I got an idea to make a pitch to turn my favorite internet series into its very own episodic Lego game. This post basically acts as a collection of ideas for gameplay and mechanics if such a game were to be made.
The circus and the circus grounds will act as the central hub for the game. Throughout the hub there will be portals of fractal noise which will allow you access each level or "episode" of the show. Like past Lego games that are semi-open world, you can explore every part of the circus and find secret gold bricks and minifigs.
Each level will be three parts with checkpoints at each part (kind like Lego Jurassic World). Given episode 9 is around an hour long that one might be split into multiple levels. Here’s a hypothetical level that I came up with:
Episode 2 - Candy Carrier Chaos
Part 1: The circus members are brought to the candy canyon kingdom. As they are given their war rig it falls apart and they all have to work together to put it back together.
Part 2: The battle between the two war rigs. Ragatha, Jax, Kinger, and Gangle have to build weapons to take down Gummigoo’s gang and their war rig.
Part 3: Pomni and Gummigoo in the dev room. They’ll have to solve puzzles and build their way out of the dev room and reunite with the other circus members
I wasn’t able to come up with an ability for every character so here’s a list of ones I did manage to come up with. If you have a suggestion, leave a comment and if I like it I might add it.
Zooble - can use her different arm attachments as tools for certain puzzles
Gangle - uses her ribbon arms as a ranged attack and to reach objects or levers that are high up. Could maybe act as a grappling hook.
Kinger - given he used to be a C&A developer, maybe he can access specific panels with a 4 digit simon says puzzle.
Caine - Might be the most expensive minifig, has every ability in the game
Collecting enough studs in each level will award you with “True Circus Member”
Minikits might be white C&A computers or boxes of Zooble parts, and collecting all 10 will make a diorama related to that particular episode
Extra unlockable minifigs could be characters from other Glitch shows and/or past Gooseworx projects
This was meant to be a fun hypothetical. If you have any suggestions or ideas feel free to comment them down below
