Looks surprisingly great.

It's only single-player at the moment, so they're probably still working on the next-gen dong detection algorithms.

This is going to make ungodly amounts of money once it hits consoles.

Its amazing that this was under wraps for so long, and then, announcement to release in like two days or something. Crazy.

And yeah, this is gonna make stupid money as soon as they figure out a way to make it family-friendly and online.

Easy to both: Private servers a la Minecraft. BOOM. Done.

Plus no need to worry about moderating for penises.

I went ahead and bought this because I couldn't get into Minecraft but I love me some LEGO.

They were busy chasing that MMO dollar with Lego Universe (it failed).

The project was announced back in 2007 with an intended 2008 release date, but didn’t actually launch until 2010. Lego Universe had a somewhat complicated story involving a quartet of explorers, different factions, and a variety of worlds including Venture Explorer, Nimbus Station, and Ninjago Monastery, but ultimately closed its digital doors on January 30, 2012.

Funny story – we were asked to make dong detection software for LEGO Universe too. We found it to be utterly impossible at any scale.

Players would hide the dongs where the filtering couldn’t see, or make them only visible from one angle / make multi-part penis sculptures.

I was a huge Minecraft fan during its early days but this doesn't excite me very much. I really loved the simplicity of Minecraft back then and this looks a little busy for me.

That works! Now to figure out wtf you can do in this game so far. Seems not much.

Lego is always worried about penises. Their brand management is acutely sensitive of the need for audience-appropriate, family-safe content. There are other articles, but many of them point back to the glassbottommeg Tweets -- basically everyone makes dongs, and Lego doesn't ever want a dong to go public. Just capturing stuff from a local build and putting it on YouTube would be damaging from their perspective.

It's 2015, dongs are dongs.

Enjoy never putting Lego World online then. Where there's a will, there's a dong. And what makes them think this Early Access won't have someone make a crude dong and put it on Youtube already?

There is just something delightful thinking about thousands of man-hours and millions of dollars being spent so regular people can craft the most clever, disguised phallic symbol.

 It feels like a lost chapter from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

This is like the most fun hour of gaming available right now. After that you've seen everything and there's not much to do, but as it stands this holds huge promise. It's all the big, fun building aspects of Minecraft with none of the awful grind. You can have your own castle and a rideable dragon that barfs fire within like 15 minutes of starting. This is going to be amazing if they add MP.

Been honestly wondering when Lego would make a game like this. Can't wait to see how it turns out once it gets multiplayer and all!
