LEGO Dimensions is a Toys To Life adventure game where you spend loads of money on real world LEGO so you can have Homer Simpson drive the Batmobile around Hill Valley.

Dimensions is notable for a good number of things, such as the fact that certain licenses were acquired by LEGO specifically for this game, leading to LEGO Sonic and E.T. minifigures among others. It's also got tons of references, in-jokes, and fun surprises.

Hmmm...
To do:
Lego Dimensions wiki mentions a few things we don't (and vice versa, interestingly); use it as a template without copypasting.
  • A prerelease page might also come in handy.
    • Scraped plans for a third and finals season.
    • differences in screenshots.
  • Unused lines for a playable Lord Vortech, also apparently unused lines for Hermione (and likely other characters as well).
  • More removed and scraped NPCs and characters, such as Vitruvius from The Lego Movie, Skylor from Ninjago, Barney Gumble from The Simpsons and the Fact Core from Portal.
  • Early graphics, including (apparently) early icons of Harry, Hermione and Ron Weasly interestingly.
  • There are some bugs in the game, like how certain songs won't play on the Jukebox.
  • The Xbox and PlayStation versions should be covered as well, not just the Wii U version. The 360/PS3 versions especially need to be covered as there are LOTS of differences in comparison to the XB1/PS4/WIIU versions like dinosaurs in the Jurassic World hub world being missing.
    • Supergirl only has an icon in the "Characters" menu in the PlayStation versions (she is playable across all versions mind you).
  • Much, much more.

Internal Name

The game is referred to as Project Zeus throughout the files. One example is in Targeting.txt, found in \ABILITIES\ITEMS:

ability_start "ProjectZeusTargeting"

Documentation

Some of the game's text files have a comment with a URL to an internal wiki page on that mechanic of the game:

A few of the URLs are slightly different, such as this one being a part of the Warner Bros. site:

The game contains graphical assets for Espio the Chameleon, Charmy Bee, and Vector the Crocodile, hinting that they were once meant to be part of the Sonic level pack and/or Dimension.
