We've had a chance to sit with invincible lems having free skills for a bit. No levels have been created yet (apart from those in the SuperLemmix Welcome Pack), but I wonder what people's thoughts are on this particular aspect of the invincibility state at this point.

If you haven't already, please do check out the SuperLemmix Welcome Pack for several examples of levels featuring invincible lemmings. I'm in two minds as to whether the levels are actually improved by allowing the lem free skills. Instinct is probably not, but the state should feel somewhat OP and game-breaking, as it's what I'd expect from invincibility in video games in general. Maybe free skills is a step too far, though.

I don't think anybody who has replied to this agreed that free skills is a good idea, sadly. I absolutely do value other people's thoughts and opinions, but if I feel the need to try something I generally have to see it in action for myself before I can make my mind up. So with that clarified, now that we've had a chance to play with it for a bit (and still will until at least version 2.9, I imagine), what do we think now?

Dreaming of a new Level Select menu free of Windows dependencies/forms. There might be no going back from these gorgeous mockups, but even if I do make a start on this it will likely take a long time and potentially cause sizing issues; I'd want the text to be at least medium-res, which would mean increasing the minimum size that the SLX window can be.

Even so, let's just enjoy imagining the possibilities for now:



Each pack would have its own preview button, complete with player progress info. Any Talismans would simply be grouped by colour (Bronze, Silver, Gold) and only "lit" once all Talismans of that colour have been achieved for the full pack. Perhaps clicking the Talismans could bring up a list, as per the current default pack display.

Clicking a level pack would select it for Play / MRC / Playback / Cleanse / Shortcut-creation purposes. Clicking an already-selected level pack (or Single-left-clicking the "List" icon (bottom left of each level pack preview)) would open the levels list view:



Each group would be clickable - clicking it displays the list of levels in that group. Info for the currently-selected level would be shown on the right, with options for Play, Screenshot, Cleanse, etc. displayed across the bottom. All very similar to what we have now but built into the game window rather than relying on a popup Level Select form.

Thoughts welcome.

Double clicking on the Nuke button is tested by checking if you clicked on the icon on 2 successive frames. While this worked ok on a typical 486 pc of the time where a 15fps frame rate was considered good. On a pentium or anything after that it became impossible to do.

I am a dummy. I put in the updated replays and seems that I accidentally removed the new 3 14 and 3 18 instead of the old ones!

Reattached the zip with the correct replays in the previous post!

Just discovered this. It looks awesome! I'm having a bit of problem getting it to run at the moment though. It keeps saying it needs .net core. I've tried installing various versions and none seem to work at the moment. Is there a particular .Net version it needs?
