Title: Lem Yourself!
Post by: The64Watcher on December 07, 2025, 01:27:06 AM
so i want custom lemmings for project L4. you can go into anything and customize the lemming to make you or any lemming you want. 10 outstanding lems will get put in the game, but you can keep making lems after that.
doesnt need to be perfect! anything will do if its good enough.

Let's chill out a little bit with all the various topics. It's really good to see that you're continuing to develop your skills in game development - and I want to say, you should not be too disheartened if not all your projects go anywhere. If you spend a week trying things out for a project, then abandon it, but learnt some new things while working on it - that time wasn't wasted; it became an important part of the path to becoming able to make advanced, full-blown, high quality projects. I know for sure that when I was learning, I half-made a LOT of abandoned trash... but in the process of making that trash, I learnt many skills that I use to this very day. Not to mention, I had fun doing it at the time.

I'm closing this topic - but that's not meant to be discouragement on your project itself, nor the idea of customizable lemmings or including other lemmings if people choose to offer some. All I'm wanting you to take away from this topic closing is - there's no need for several different topics for every idea related to your project; you can post these ideas in the project's main topic. You might not get much attention at first, especially with the record of vague ideas and abandoned projects, but if over time you can prove that this one is different and it's going somewhere, and you're putting genuine effort into it and trying to make it good (as opposed to simply "anything that sort-of works is good enough"), you'll no doubt get more people interested. There are numerous cases out there in various fan communities of people who've started off like how you have, with many over-ambitious ideas and abandoned projects, who have eventually gone on to create genuinely great works.
