Title: DavidLems (70 levels) [Difficulty: Medium - Hard]
Post by: David on February 14, 2024, 08:39:40 PM
Here is my second pack called DavidLems. ;P

It contains 70 levels and includes 4 ranks (3 ranks, with increasing difficulty levels, and a fourth rank grouping together a few levels with a time limit).

Here is a brief description of the ranks with a preview of some levels:

1) 100 metres (20 levels) : medium
The first levels are quite easy, but the difficulty level increases quickly. :evil:

To play, you must download:

- My level pack (put it in the "levels" folder): DavidLems (https://mega.nz/file/2Es0EBDY#ZY2VGjsMCSeAVCOKPsgYgpH4eweXlqchukD1xv4NVSA)

- My personalized music* (put it in the "music" folder): DavidLems Music (https://mega.nz/file/3BlTmLLT#meUIHnaSR5jOE_k_A6sRhMgmvx5Ohtag8Glba-wHCXk)

- My updated "style" folder (put it in the "styles" folder): davidz_special (https://mega.nz/file/zZUR0ZKb#clb5Bk8XuT2BduOLk2gUmy_toeehy2Jxz4vjNFXJ24M)

*Regarding personalized music: I took the music that I liked from the ArtLems, SEB Lems, SubLems, clammings and classlem packs and I downloaded several music from The Mod Archive (which Turrican had used in his levels). Thanks to them.

I also thank namida, the pack/level designers, the players, and all the people who... love lemmings! :thumbsup:

Aha! New pack from you released on Lemmings' 33rd! :laugh: Seems it was all planned to release on February 14. Also with the common practice of the author's name followed by "lems" for the pack's name :laugh: Congrats on the release! :thumbsup: As usual, I look forward to LPing the pack in the coming weeks/months! :thumbsup: Great stunning visuals as usual. I continue to be blown away at how beautiful they are and the detail and attention you put into them :thumbsup: Love how you put another level with a Disney character in it, and as the rank starter again :)

I didn't know that February 14th was Lemmings' birthday. I'm happy to learn it. Yes, I didn't have any other idea for the name of the pack (except "Lewings", but I thought it was a bit ridiculous! ???). Thank you for your praise about the graphics, I really like spending time refining the details to make pretty, harmonious decorations. ;) It's true, I confess, I like Disney characters ; everyone knows them. There is also a second special level which refers to Aladdin. :thumbsup:

I'm playing through the pack and just completed the first two ranks.
It's a very well-made pack with many creative and clever puzzles :thumbsup:
I'll come back with more replays later.

Here're my replays to rest of the levels. :laugh:
I can smell some sneaky backroutes(and hopefully some alternative solutions) you might want to look at.

Overall, it was a very enjoyable pack. Maybe there're too many button-pushing levels but that's my personal opinion and I don't mind playing them anyway. Puzzles were also very clever and creative. And I tend to appreciate levels that author put a lot of works and effort to make them look appealing. And your levels are absolutely superb in that regard. :thumbsup:

Hello Armani,

Well done! :thumbsup: Thank you for playing my pack and thank you for your kind comments! I looked at everything and made the necessary corrections. I knew there would be backroutes (because no one tested my pack before it was put online). ;P

I agree with you, I used the locked exits a lot. ;) I haven't seen many of them in the level packs I've played. If I have to create other packs, I will pay attention to this. However, as you say, it doesn't really matter.

Here are the updates, plus some comments:

A few hours after putting my pack online, I made some graphical modifications to the following levels: 100 meters 11 (I had raised the central terrain by a few pixels) and 100 meters 13/400 meters 11 (I had raised the thin bars on which the three imprisoned lemmings walk). I should have specified this, but it would not have changed anything compared to your solutions. :-[

I resolved all the updatd levels ;)
Some of them are similar to my previous solutions and some of them look intended 8-)

Thank you Armani for retesting these levels.

It’s quite normal that some of them are similar to your previous solutions: I had made some changes just after putting my pack online and you had downloaded the first version, so this didn’t change anything in your solutions. ;)

That being said, you have found the intended solution for most of the levels. :thumbsup: Only 3 levels weren't resolved as I expected, but you proposed an interesting alternative solution for each of them (and not a backroute). However, I made some small corrections:

Cool! :thumbsup:
Now we are down to the last 4 levels.
They all look somewhat intended to my eyes, but let's see :D

We’re almost there ! ;P
For levels 400 metres 19 and One minute 10, you’ve found an alternative solution.

Here are the fixes:

I finally used the blocker in 400metres level 8-) while one-minute10 is more or less the same solution as before.
