4. The world setup is quite complex - doesn't deafult to friendliest i.e. Sandbox. Sandbox should be that, and default to still have all creatures.

5. The characters don't even have any VO!

6. As a games designer, I cannot for the life of me build a house. It's more difficult than Fallout 4!

So yeah, it's not a #LEGO game at all. Not child friendly, not accessible. UX & adverts are for Teens. Very dissapointing and he'll stick to a better LEGO game - Minecraft!!

So, #Lego #Fortnite is a no go for my child. I setup a Cabined account for him and made it super restricted but decided to give it a go myself.

1. He can't read - and there's no VO for buttons.

2. First image he'll see when loading up Lego version is a big advert where as a games designer found it unclear where to press the "DONT BUY" button! A child should not get advertised to, and the continue arrow button should be a go & play button.

3. The next screen is still not LEGO!

Knackered myself today. Beach cleaning - over 3kgs of scraps of fishing plastics my family removed from Crooklets beach. Considering it's tourist season, actually very little visitor rubbish! Still mainly lines and bits of nets.

Office getting more and more coordinated! :D
Old futon covered in purple, and just made my own orange pillow case.

IKEA no longer do cases supporting the cushion size they used to sell, and no one else do them that big!

Ignore the littering of VR devices - debugging avatar issues between platforms!

I feel like #Nintendo's #accessibility design has a lot of scope to improve. My 3yr old is picking up #Pikmin4 well, but needs an adult just to read things to him. If there was an English VO, or at least TTS, then he could play by himself :s
They have the budget to do proper VO! Have that option even if you leave the pretend language as default.

Pushed a big update out to Technie Virtual Console

In case you were wondering about threads, the timeline is full of shit I donโ€™t follow and it isnโ€™t chronological. So itโ€™s just Facebook made to look like twitter.
My toddler has fallen in love with a retro #game IP. Guess which from his #Lego #duplo builds!
My new car has customisable #RGB !
