Everything about this thread is awesome. I love mining games. Following in spirit. Keep them coming
Dig or Die is my contribution.
Dwarf Fortress!
I recall a LEGO online game, but it must not have become a big hit since nobody has mentioned it since its release. I’m also skeptical that GPUs are fast enough to handle lots of realistic LEGO in real time. I know that when I view a moderately complex model in one of the various LEGO modeling software, my framerate drops to a crawl.
