Lego minecraft

It is done. The project Lego minecraft initiated by fans and supported by the game publisher MojangOn Cuusoo reached 10.000 supporters and therefore moved on to stage 2. By comparison, the first project to come out of the Cuusoo initiative, the Shinkai 6500, had barely reached 1000 supporters in Japan in 420 days.

What will happen now? The project therefore passes from the state of IDEA (idea) than Review. During this phase, a jury made up of designers, product managers and a few other decision-makers from the LEGO company will examine this project. Prototypes will be created to assess whether the concept meets LEGO safety and playability standards.

This phase of Review will last 1 to 2 weeks and at the end of this process, a decision in principle will be taken on whether or not to continue the project.

If the decision is positive, the project will then enter a third phase during which the products intended to be placed on the market will be designed, finalized and prepared for marketing. This phase will last several months.

But Paal Smith-Meyer, head of the LEGO New Business Group is already calming the ardor of Minecraft fans even if he readily recognizes the exceptional nature of the mobilization around this project: “It is still too early to say whether a Minecraft play set will become a LEGO product as it still needs to go through a review and approval process to ensure it meets our usual LEGO standards, but it is certainly a lot closer.”
In summary, he says it is still too early to determine if the LEGO Minecraft concept will go to the end.

So, LEGO Minecraft or not? I think the project will succeed. A tribute set for the game for sale exclusively at the LEGO Shop and the thing will be heard. There is something for everyone: LEGO will delight its new customers who are Minecraft fans, Mojang will do a good deed by donating the 1% of royalties to charities and Cuusoo will have shown that even on a global scale, every idea can potentially be successful. shape. 

The press release on LEGO Cuusoo: Minecraft project achieves 10,000 supporters on LEGO CUUSOO.
