It has taken a lot longer than planned, but I've finally reached the point where I can start to share some contents from "Droidlings", my in-progress Android remake of Lemmings. First up: 3 of 5 new graphic sets!
For those of you who don't remember
this thread from half a year ago, "Droidlings" will feature small, not overly intelligent androids with the same set of skills and problems as our beloved Lemmings. Provided with the appropriate data files, the game will also be capable of loading Lemmings levels.
Since I needed to hire an artist to help draw the graphic sets, the game will be available on the market as a both a paid app and a free "lite" version with a limited selection of levels. However, I am releasing the graphic sets to the public in order to get feedback, and, hopefully, to get some help in designing levels.
Please note that by using these graphic sets, you agree to let me use any levels created with these graphic sets for "Droidlings", or for any other purpose as I see fit.In order to use the graphic sets with Lemmix, you will need to append the contents of "LemmixStyles.ini" to the LemmixStyles.ini file located in the Lemmix directory. You might also need to adjust the common path directory of the pack, depending on where you extract the Droidlings subdirectory. By default, CommonPath=C:\Lemmix\GameData\Droidlings\.
If you use some other editor/player, you will have to figure out how to use the graphic sets on your own
The Examples subdirectory contains a few sample levels, one for each graphic set. Hopefully the levels are not too simple, even for the lemmingsforums crowd...
Looking forward to hearing your feedback and suggestions, and hopefully to seeing a few new levels!
Cheers,
Johannes
