A couple of weeks ago LEGO® Ideas launched a new contest which uses the Unity X LEGO Microgame platform to create a game. If you’re finding it tricky or want to learn how to create an even better game, a Unity X LEGO Game Jam is being held next weekend. During the live stream event, you’ll get to learn more about how to use LEGO Microgame game maker, which may help you create a winning entry for the LEGO Ideas contest. Plus every now who enter the contest will receive a Limited Edition Unity LEGO Minifigure. Learn more below.
Build your own game with the LEGO® Microgame!
If you are in doubt whether to participate in the newest LEGO® Ideas contest “Build your own game”, join fellow Unity beginners in the next Unity x LEGO Game Jam: Ideas Edition on Saturday, Feb. 13. During the 2,5-hour livestream you will discover how to build your customized LEGO Microgame using newly released LEGO Behaviour Bricks to help make a great contest submission.

Just to remind you, besides two grand prize winners of the LEGO Ideas contest and two runner-ups, two entries in this contest will be randomly selected as winners too. No reason not to get involved!
By the way, EVERY participant of the “Build your own game” contest will receive a custom, limited edition LEGO Unity Minifigure!
As millions of people prepare for the Lunar New Year next Friday, Feb. 12, we want to help celebrate this festive occasion and release the LEGO Microgame “Year of the Ox” free expansion pack no later than Friday, Feb. 5. Greet your players with a giant “talking” ox, moo-ve them with a beautiful ancient Chinese vista and fill the night sky with colorful fireworks. But don’t get too close to that fireworks machine – it might spell bad luck! Just visit the Unity Asset Store to download and import to your game.
Finally, if you want to hear more about the origin and the future of the Unity x LEGO Microgame, listen to Episode 5 of the LEGO Bits N’ Bricks podcast.
