The Hall of Rejected Concepts

...is now open for business.

The Hall consists of old art, original concepts and lame ideas that never made it into the game.
You can find it next to the Rook Museum in Jethimadh tower.

Enjoy the wonder of rejection!

  • The Stactus was an early prototype for the direction I, with a lot of other people, wanted to see happen.
    I had it in moooooostly working condition with a few bugs that left it unreleasable.
    Sadly, we did not have the time to fix it.
    If it worked, the mechanic could've been expanded on to include balls/cubes/sticks/panels/etc of all shapes and sizes and textures.
    I was greatly inspired by the amazing snaps people took of their homemade fireplaces and wall installations.
    These material "pieces" could have been used to stack and create your own structures in your yard, furniture pieces, and more like building with lego.
    The next stage would've been to allow players to "merge" their work together and sell them.
    That was one of my dreams for one of the higher level end games. :)

  • "A bunny. Why? Because bunny."

    This is a good indicator of how the staff don't sit there and act high and mighty just because they're the staff- they like to prove they're just as silly as the rest of us.

    The pet dragons would have been ten kinds of awesome. Pity that didn't make it in!

  • I would have loved a pet.

  • Thanks for sharing. :-)

    I love the street spirit concepts. Actually they were responsible for my first interest in the game. I saw a drawing of them somewhere on a blog Stoot posted a link to on his Twitter, and they looked so interesting that I had to see what it was all about.

    I will miss this truly unique game.

  • To whoever at TS rejected the initial concept art for the butler - THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I really would not have wanted the world to end with *that* standing in my home street!!!

  • Thank you for this and for all the wonderful work you have done!  It has been a true pleasure to be here and you have made it a beautiful and fun experience, Dongs and all!  perhaps I will meet you in another location/game/whatever.  I am certain that the two of you will be successful in whatever you pursue and I hope to know of it.  Thanks for the Face!

  • lol @ Eglantine's comment! I felt the same when i saw it! 
    The idea of the Hall is really cool, i enjoyed discovering the "rejections", & the pets are so so cute! I must salute your creativity. :)

    Glitch & its very special charms are gonna be sorely missed.

  • That Stactus idea sounds like something I'd love to see someone do.  My son has been looking for a replacement for Lego Universe for almost a year now.  He's decided that his life's ambition is to become a great game designer and recreate Lego Universe.

  • I know they're not cute like bunnies and dragons, but man do I love the early deimaginator concepts!  

    This is why we neeeeeeeed that art book, Kukubee!!
