Title: GemLems reboot (36/120 levels done)
Post by: Proxima on December 15, 2020, 06:29:49 PM
As some of you already know or have guessed, I am in the process of rebooting GemLems, the pack I was working on last year.

Amethyst 12 - Big Bad John

GemLems was originally going to be a pack using just the classic 8 skills, but then the shimmier and jumper came out, and I got excited and wanted to play around with them :P so I started a separate pack, RockLems. It got to be a bit too much for me, and progress on both packs ground to a halt.

So I've decided to start over, combining the two packs into one -- but even the first rank will have some brand-new levels. As before, there will be four ranks: Amethyst, Topaz, Sapphire and Diamond (in ascending order of hardness (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohs_scale_of_mineral_hardness)); I'm aiming for 30 levels in each.

All levels will be exactly 800 x 160 -- some don't use all that space, so I get to indulge my love of decorative terrain :P Most will use the original (including ONML) styles, but similarly to how the original game had one special graphics level per rank, I will be playing a little with other styles, including the Green Hill style I made over the weekend.

This topic is just for me to post about my progress, and maybe show off some individual levels -- I am not going to post a demo or partial release, so you'll just have to sit tight until the pack is ready to go! :thumbsup:

It's been a while, but the first rank, Amethyst, is finished! :thumbsup: (And I posted a few screenshots on discord, and namida SYCLWed one of the levels just from the screenshot :P ) I've also built the first two levels of Topaz and a few levels to be slotted in when I decide on a place for them, so overall the pack is up to 36 levels or 30% done 8-)
