Title: Lix Campfire, Sat, Dec 3rd, 17:00 UTC
Post by: Simon on November 29, 2022, 11:37:07 PM

Hi,

everybody is busy near the end of the year, therefore I don't want to plan a big multiplayer session on short notice. Instead, let's meet in Mumble for loose discussion ("campfire" or "fireside chat") this Saturday, December 3rd, starting 17:00 UTC. Who's up?

(https://media.istockphoto.com/vectors/bonfire-with-marshmallow-vector-id531861296?s=170x170)

Ideas for the discussion:

• I'm working on writing handicaps into replays, and playing back multiplayer games from replays with the correct handicap. We can test this together before I'll release 0.10.2.
  
• Level reorderings in our flagship pack, lemforum.
  
• Game modes involving neutral lix. Which good ideas can we copy from NeoLemmix? What should be a level option, what should be a property of the goals/exits? At the September 2022 campfire, I discussed this with geoo, but haven't written anything on the forums about it.
  
• Solving levels together on livestream is fun. I had a great time with Flopsy, mobius, and Ramond this past Sunday. Let's do it more often?
  
• Anything you like. Bring your own topics!
  

If you don't have time, no worries: I'd like to have campfire every couple weeks/months. We don't set in stone any plans for development. Important things should go through the forum in any case, giving everybody a chance to comment on plans.

See you in Mumble!

Sadly I can't come to this yet again (mainly because it's on Saturday), I'll be able to make one eventually.

Agreed this was fun, it was a very engaging stream :)

I'm happy moving it to Sunday, 4th, 17:00 UTC. Would that suit you?

Well I can't make it Sunday either, I'm more likely to make them if they were on Sundays though which was the point I was trying to make. :lix-wink:

All right, then let's keep it this Saturday, Dec 3rd. I'll remember Sundays for you in the future.

sounds fun, unfortunately as per usual these days I may be going away either or both days so idk. If I happen to be home and not busy I will join!

Agreed: puzzle solving with two or more people is fun :thumbsup:

own topic: demand an answer once and for all why Simon refuses to add one-way terrain to Lix :lix-tongue:

Session is over! We were geoo, IchoTolot, KingShadow, Lana, Proxima, Silken Healer, and myself.

We discussed the handicap format, pre-placed lix, neutral lix, lemforum level reorderings, and level outtakes/replacements. I'll write more detailed things into the different topics these days.

Will 2023 be when I revisit Vienna? We'll see.
