As a community, we need to figure out our best way to legally support this project as best we can. I’m literally more hyped for this than any AAA titles announced in years. I NEED THIS!..

For anyone who doesn’t know, the voices use the Matoric/Matoran language created by Outofgloom, for which he drew as much linguistic knowledge as possible from the canon to reconstruct it and make something that actually feels like it could be part of the canon.

I'm obsessed with the more animal-like way Lewa moves. It makes sense, seeing as he's from the jungle. I also really like the look of how time slows down on a successful dodge (at least, I think that's what it is), it's super stylish.

This is awesome! you guys should be super proud of what you have managed to create so far!

This trailer has only been up for 60 minutes at the time of commenting but somehow I’ve watched it 2000000000 times

The music is so awesome. It's sounds just like bionicle. Everything about this is just so bionicle. I have been looking forward to this game since I found out about it. Even this work in progress looks amazing. Bionicle WAS my childhood. I grew up with it and it will always hold a special place in my heart. Thank you for keeping bionicle alive. This is looking to be an incredible game. Even though its new it feels so familiar. You've captured the feeling of bionicle perfectly. I can't wait for the full release.

Having the gear on Lewa's back move as he moves his arm is a nice touch. Very good attention to detail.

Love how the Matoran and Lewa sound, the music seems really fitting as well. I like the mix between ambient and upbeat techno type stuff as opposed to using mostly orchestral music, nicely captures that early Bionicle feeling!

This seriously has to be one of the best fan games ever created.... it's absolutely insane, the quality we have here... like I'm not even exaggerating at all! This is F***ING INCREDIBLE!!!

The move at 4:45 where Lewa props himself up on the air axe and then swings it around overhead is phenomenal. It's such a creative idea, and it's animated so well.

This looks amazing. I love how everything looks like something you could actually build in those Bionicle sets, and not over detailed "real iterations"

Lewa double jumps the same as he does on Bionicle: The Game GBA. Love the little details

Your voices are great, and your sound design is pretty on point, but maybe there's a way to make the hits thump harder or sound crunchier, because weak combat noises can make a game feel looser and floatier than it actually is.

Couple of critiques: Enemies seem a little too tanky, the movement speed and the speed of combat animations are a bit slow, and the sound effects for hits could be louder or more impactful. All that being said, this looks phenomenal.

That's just... stellar. This is on par with today's triple A titles on visuals alone. Well bloody done.

Kid me is crying tears of joy right now and adult me is doing their best to hold it in. This is beautiful, the environment, the music, the mechanics, the animations, the voice acting. Ya’ll knocked this out of the park and I cant wait to see more.

Visually, this game is like stepping inside a painting! It's like an assortment of scenic vistas which look impossibly curated & intentional; through painstaking, lengthy effort. From the videos & screenshots, the worlds seems populated with an absurd array of creative set-pieces & landscapes -- Team Kanohi is truly making an impression by bringing in the heat here by it showcasing its sheer quantity of creative visual-design alongside folding those ideas into its interactable work! The combat looks smooth & sleek; with seemingly a hefty enforcement of agility & juggle of abilities from the player, I like that! But I'll wait until I've actually played it myself to truly compliment the game-play. Undeniably utmost epic & impressive. I'm very excited to play this! Huge shoutout to the entire team -- I'm so proud of you all!

Lewa must be a weird character to make a comabt style for, since he is supposed to be fast and agile but has a big and heavy axe. Also everything still looks amazing.

For some reason, the glossy Lego models don't stick out in a bad way with the realistic enviroments and look very appealing in a really unique way.

This really takes me back to when I was a kid, playing with bionicles, watching the movies, reading the books, you should be so proud of what you've done!

Aaaah I could gush about this all day, but I want to give the most vocal props possible to your sound designers. That intro gave me CHILLS, and the vocalizations for the characters feels so right--a great mix of the really bizarre Legend of Mata Nui voices and something a little more traditional. The sound effects for the rahi moving and roaring. The music. It all sounds exactly like I've imagined it, and I love it so much! Thanks for putting all of this hard work into your project, I very greatly look forward to it!

Everything about this is so far is everything I could want from a lego game about the Mata so far. Nailed the visuals, nailed the early 2000s bionicle music, nailed the animation and movement. If they had the chunky, servo heavy SFX from the original Mata shorts and MNOG it would be genuinely flawless imo.

Just the interesting and fluid movement of these characters is enough to make me fall in love with this, this what the bioncles I played with as a kid looked like in my head, thank you for bringing that to life

The voice for Lewa fits perfect

Seeing this project grow and grow has been nothing but a joy. Amazing trailer, I can't wait to see what comes next!

I have to admit, I wasn't very impressed by the fight against those small spiders, but the flying guys and the scorpion? Looked really great.

It’s jaw dropping what you guys have achieved. Everything is simply top-notch: animations, music and sound-design (character lines and their intonations, jeez!), combat flow, visuals and scenery. I can’t stop to say what an amazing community bionicle fandom is. Thank you for making my childhood dreams come true!

This is very impressive! You perfectly replicated the climate of Bionicles. I also like the voices, how they only very gently feel synthesised, just to feel that they are people, but still reminding us of their robotic nature

The way the light moves on the health indicator!

Really quite excellent! I love the way Lewa's animated, it all feels incredibly true to the character. I wasn't originally sold on how voice acting would work here, but Dane's done a really good job. On extremely personal criticisms though, I would've liked to see the Miru or elemental powers get more use. While I'm sure those are 100% in progress right now, I'm left feeling like there's not a ton of reasons to use them. Further, I'm not so keen on having to pick up every drop; I'd rather have a mechanic similar to Sekiro, where a button can be held, recalling those drops to you. Those aside, this is a terrific preview. Everything about this screams passion and I know y'all are gonna make something amazing. Happy 810nicle Day, and I hope things are going well.

... I just stumbled into this project of yours today, and... I am blown away. Bionicle was my *childhood*, and I still remember always going for the ice sets - my favorites of the six - first every time a new batch of cans hit the shelves. You've REALLY brought Mata Nui('s dormant face-island) to life, keeping all these Rahi designs accurate down to every little Technic piece and how they all move and fold together. They feel so perfect, these mixes of beast and machine. And the way the Toa and Matorans speak, along with collecting masks... This absolutely could reignite my childhood passions all those years ago. So much knowledge of this biomechanical world has since slipped from my mind, and I'm so excited to perhaps rediscover everything again. Wishing you and your team the best possible luck with this dream of yours. Unity! Duty! Destiny! ✊

My god. The SOUND DESIGN. THE PRERENDERED STUFF. EVERYTHING IS PERFECT

This.... this isn't backed up by any AAA funding but this looks to be on the same AAA quality of any Lego game. Holy Mata Nui bless you devs ❤️

Looks great! There's only one small thing I think should change - the background of the dialogue boxes being transparent can make the text a little difficult to read if there's complex geometry or effects behind it. I think it would be better for legibility if it were more opaque. Other than that, though, this looks fantastic. Can't wait!

It's beautiful, Lewa's animal-like movement looks sick, animations are really smooth, world looks alive, whole game has climate reminding me Kao the Kangaroo games from my childhood... The only thing which seems like it could be improved is low FPS, but optimalization is always hard to achieve ;) Is that dodge cloning-like animation based on Nier Automata?

The sound design and animation work is superb. I love the voices based off the unreleased game that lightstone has been working on. The music fits well, and the animal noises and stuff are perfect. Y'all have vision. The enemy attacks should probably have.. what's it called, framestun? Like the perfect dodge and shielding has. But less. Ramp up the stun based on the damage dealt, to sell the hits more, it'll help add weight to when you take damage Even just a couple frames of stun during a hit will sell smaller attacks as hard hitters, and big ones with a dozen or so will really make you scared. Sorta like how the latest smash game works

It's beautifull. I've looked at this for five hours now.

This is how I always pictured a lovecrafted Bionicle game to look like. Thank you to everyone who worked on this project.

The dodging at the last second animation is really cool; it looks satisfying as hell to do successfully. I'm actually not a fan of Lewa running on all fours; I know he's a bit more wild than the other Toa, but I just can't imagine him running on all fours like that. I've always seen his wildness manifesting in acrobatics like Aang. I like the visuals and the voices though; the voices in particular are fun because I get nostalgia from the old animations, and it puts more life into the interactions. I'm really looking forward to this being available on steam though! Y'all have come such a long way since the original MoP.

Seeing my childhood toys come to life in an modern action RPG is absolutely amazing. Not only do the graphics look nice and crisp, the models even look like the actual sets. This project of yours had ignited my inner child, and I do hope that the game's development presses on.

Really love the atmosphere and environment designs! The game seems super pretty and the combat loop seems interesting to play. The only suggestion I have is maybe to have the camera focus on the Matoran when the player is having a conversation, similar to the MNOG games or in games like Horizon FW, I feel that allows players to better focus and feels a connection to the NPCs of the game. I also know it's not the final version, but I can't wait to see how the UI evolves and more work on the texturing of the character models to match the more realistic environment. Great work and I love that you guys are working so hard on this project!!

I love almost everything about this! The look of the rahi and matoran, the music, the pacing, it's all so good! My only critique is the hit sound, a metal axe striking a metal creature should make more than a dull thump. You could also vary the sounds based on if you hit a stunned enemy or after a successful dodge etc.

I ... i´ve never imagined the "voices" that the bionicles would have but somehow ... it´s perfect ! You guys are Just amazing !

I am absolutely blown away. From sound design to fighting animation, this looks incredible.

I ADORE the voicework that's been done for this.

I couldn't stop grinning when a certain bird flew by. This is so cool!

This is one of the most beautiful game previews I have seen as a Bionicle fan. This is everything I’ve always wanted!

full props to you guys! You pulled out ALL the stops with the cinematic quality of this update!

It's just like the world I imagined looking at the concept/cover art. The music is absolutely perfect

Phenomenal. Your game has grown so much!

OMG, this is incredible! Especially the difference between reveal and gameplay trailers... Can't wait to play. Wish your team max effectiveness and inspiration!

Man this just keeps looking better and better with each trailer, glad to see ya'll hard at work!

This looks and sounds amazing!! Not sure how sold I am on the voices, but that’s just because I’m not too used to hearing the Toa in anything other than English. Keep up the stellar work! We’re all rooting for you!

I love bionicle so much, and everything about this project, from the animations to the dialogue to the world, feels full of so much love and care... amazing!!! The combat, the music, great job!

I love how you guys have captured the look and feel of the old Bionicle renders and cinematics

The fact that they are using the Matoric conlag is just beyond incredible to me.

Absolutely perfect. The voices sound great. The music sounds great. The visuals are stunning. The combat and level design look like a perfect blend between modern titles and early 2000s classics. Even if I wasn't a Bionicle fan this would be one of the games I'm looking forward to the most. (Also yeah, animal run Lewa is the greatest thing ever.)

I just love this so much! I almost cried when I heard the Kahu call

you guys are doing what lego could've done 10 times over and I can't express how much joy this project fills me with. Keep up the good work.

You guys are doing great! And every update shows how you guys are on point about what's needed and the direction of the game. Keep on keeping on; this project is in safe, loyal hands.

I like how they sound like they're actually speaking a different language instead of just random noises in LOMN

I feel 20 years younger watching this.

This is so awesome! All the wonderful sensations going through me as I watch the gameplay. The combat, the matoran, the animationd, movement, jumps etc. I love it all. Thank you, my day feels even better now.

I like that spider at the end and I would love to see more unique looking creates we have not seen styled from the 2001 era.

I'm definitely really feeling the combat here. Very fast paced and easy to understand. I'm guessing this is for Lewa specifically but it looks like you have to master a delay with him due to his axe, making me curious about the other characters with closer range weapons like Onua and Gali. Lewa running on all fours is hilarious too. I also like the dialog too, it sounds like you guys used voice clips from Legend of Mata Nui. Graphics are also stellar, very good attention to detail in the design of the mountains. Only thing I'm not 100% feeling is the music, but I'm sure that can be adjusted in future builds.

God I love how fast this feels. The only thing I would change is I'd exaggerate the movements more and make his turning radius even smaller to sell the speed and the agility even more.

As a die hard bionicle fan who just completed my 2005 set wave I could not be more proud of team kanohi. I truly mean it, just the fact that the concept for this game is physically tangible alone is amazing but the detail, the environment, the music, the dialog, the combat, the utility of using different masks based on their respective powers. You've put more work into this game than most modern AAA studios put into huge titles based on that alone and for my favorite franchise of all time no less. Truly, Mata nui chose you to make this game its already on my wish list and I will be buying it first thing when it comes out.

Its the original short videos and characters coming truly alive like a fever dream! Thank you all for your hard work.. This project is legendary!

yo, anyone else remember playing that bionicle fps on the wii? Def giving similar vibes except way better!

It would be really cool if you guys could ad visual damage to the enemies. Every hit, pieces fall off and you can start to see the inner mechinisms. As they get more broken they get more agressive. That would dive more into the fact they are mechanical lego pieces

Incredible! This is definitely one of the best if not the best and most ambitious game I've ever seen. Every montage is perfect!

I’m loving it more and more every time I see something new, keep up the good work

It's just so beautiful and nostalgic, reminded me of how my younger self felt the first time I played *Bionicle: The Game* and *Bionicle Heroes* 👏😭 The models, the music, the animations, I wish this project great success, the developers are doing an impressive work!

The VOICE ACTING. I love that it's actually in Matoric. Will there be an option for English voices also, or is that asking too much? Either way, this game's lookin to kick ass

Amazing! To see how far you've come feels insane!

This i astonishingly well-made, you’re creating something amazing for people that grew up with bionicle!!!!! I gotta say Im so impressed by the immersion and overall quality of this demo, you people know what you’re doing. Love the sounds they make when speaking btw, Lewas voice is spot on!!!!

How lego ignores the bionicle fanbase is beyond me but gamers like you are why they never die. Great work!

This looks incredible. I have a little nit pick though. The hits sound effects should sound more like a slash for Lewa since he fights with an axe

This is looking and sounding really good so far! Excellent work!

So glad this ended up on my recommended feed, on today of all days too. Very much eagerly anticipating a final release.

Is this the Dark Souls of Bionicle games? Also I love the effort and sheer passion put into this. It’s amazing to say the least. I do hope that weapon impact sounds are more beefy and feel more powerful when this releases.

This looks great. I do think the Nui-Ramas are a fair bit too tanky for how little of a threat they seem to be, I'd maybe like to see their attacks come out a bit faster, unless they are very early game enemies. The Nui-Jaga seems about right though. Also the way the music abruptly leads into a victory sound after you defeat it is a tad jaring. The sound design is really nice.

I saw this being made years ago when it first started, I'm proud of you guys and how far you've come since then.

I will definitely be keeping this on my radar! Great job!

this is CRAZY! So many little details! I love the robotic textures on their voices. The blending of organic and robotic is so well represented here!

Hopefully things are alright with that other Buonicle game, Quest for Mata Nui, there hasn't been updates in a year now. This came when we needed it most.

I love how you guys use the CG for the dialogue window. You used the masks on a singular head and background instead of making an entire portraits. Because yeah, masks are a central part of Bionicle and what we use to identify a character, and the actual toys the Toa and Matoran are based on have the same head design. It's fast, it's efficient, it's an all around good design. Edit: OH MY GOD I LOVE LEWA'S ATTACK ANIMATION!! Especially the maneuvers with his weapon arm! He knows that he has full, 360 degree rotation with his shoulders, and universal articulation with the ball joints and he's taking advantage of it! He's not just fighting like a beast, he's also fighting like a robot! He knows what he has available and he's using it! Expert combatant right here!

Yall have done a fantastic job with Lewa's animations, so much personality. Cannot wait to see the other Toa!

looks incredible so far!! super excited to play it when it’s ready!!! love the return to the mechanical voices too. really captures the spirit of the original story. 🔥🔥🔥

If the game will look this good i will be happy to wait at least 1 more year for release

Love it! Bionicle is a classic and full of fantastic themes. Thank you for putting so much time into making something like this, it looks really cool!

Absolutely fantastic progress on the game, one of the few games I'm excited to play when it comes out. Thanks Team Kanohi for your efforts

opening shot was sublime, love the robotic alien voices and the music as well. great work!

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES THIS PROJECT ACTUALLY LIVES! I thought it was dead :(

The lock on reticle being a technic piece is honestly a great touch

Really Amazing stuff, I love the stylization of everything. Excited to see what else you guys come up with

Just straight up amazing

The gameplay looks very smooth and fluid. Almost like an remake of the Legend of Mata Nui game. Also the Matoran voices sound so robotic, similar to the LOMN. Although the Toa no longer having the elemental undertones that make them sound like elemental spirits encase in a Biomechnical shell.

I got chills when the Kahu swooped down. And I got really excited when the Fikou Nui popped out. I wanna play it so badly. You've done a great work!

this is absolutely incredible!!! you managed to capture the feel of the original promotional shorts perfectly. the sound design is magnificent and really conways this feeling of being deep in a jungle i got from the first lewa teaser. the hub design fits wonderfully and reminds me of how games looked back in the day, which is the absolutely right choice i would say. this looks like what i always wanted the bionicle online game to be. the idea of doing quests for matoran and exploring the different regions of mata nui is incredebly exciting. i really like how you incorporated the original concept of bionicle getting their powers through the masks theyre equiped with. i also noticed the dodge animation is straight out of nier automata and if thats your inspiration for the combat system than go for it i say. once your done with the game you really should consider doing a short film or something similar captured in unreal engine, id love to see that.
