Progress has been at a stand still again due to three things

trying to redo a level to cut the bloat while getting remaining slots filled, and have asked around for help and second opinions (empty slots such as a Newborn rank finisher, amongst other things)

A move to a new home

Remaining video projects

I haven't been able to proceed because I've felt task paralysis feeling like it just wouldn't be good enough no matter what I sketched. I was waiting for another thing to release first to try to get the wheels turning again.

The current plan is the move the revisions and swap out what im not happy with until each rank is is standing at 26 minus the final boss rank.

after than arrange and test each level, save each new replay that has to be made as some levels haven't been tested since the physics change and then get the pack sent off for testing. and go from there until I can get it ready for release.

Quote from: GigaLem on June 14, 2026, 10:36:56 AMMy main issue with this era is how, hard it is to play it now through legitimate means. I bought a PS Vita myself last year just to finally play Lemmings Touch. It's never given enough of a push especially in lemmings touch's case to make enough of an impact to make the series have more support on current gen consoles, let alone being on a platform that not everyone is willing to own. Because I like a lot of things about this era, I like how it looks, I like the designs of the Lemmings, but because of how neglected the IP became, most of its entries became abandonware. Would I love to see a third party take the original games and put it on other consoles? yes! if the series was allowed to exist multiplatform like it used to, then yes. But because it isn't, its gonna be the one series that you can only play through emulation unless you have the physical copy and hardware to play it on.

Even as someone who grew up on DOS Lemmings, I like the way this era looked, but it needed more than just what it had.

That's a very good idea! Sony should just re-release the original 1991 Lemmings along with ''Oh No'' and the Christmas Holiday expansion packs and put them in one nice collection much like what Sega did with ''Sonic Origins'' and dare I say it? ''Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection'' and they could also include all the different ports of Lemmings to make it one massive collection, as long as they don't screw up the emulation like what Digital Eclipse did to MK Legacy Kollection and what Sega also did with Origins by making only half the game a physical release and the other a redeemer code downloadable digital game. The whole collection has to be physical and digital to cater to all audiences.

A collection on the level of the recent MK Collection is something i'd be happy about, I'd double dip if say a Switch 2 version has Mouse control support for it as well

Edit:this was my 1500th post and I didn't make it special, dang it!

I'm gonna be frank, I hate the my interest and inspiration in Lemmings has been at an all time low. I've haven't touched NeoLemmix in weeks, I haven't made a concept for any project since I made one part of a level idea. And my mind has been very empty in terms of level design ideas.

I've been prioritizing videos as of late simply because I've lost my motivation to make levels simply because I lost my flame after once having it. My Burnout project fizzled out rather quickly. And Millas and QSML has been at a stand still because of it. I've had such a bad month and April hasn't been going better. I'm not in the head space to create and I just feel like I just only merely exist, nothing more or less. I just want finish something that should've been finished years ago and now im back to were I was back in 2023. A lot of an existing projects, with no ideas, motivation or steam to keep it going.

I'm sorry for dragging my feet but if I was Sisyphus in this situation, the bolder would've crushed me at this rate.

I hate that I feeling I announced Millas being back in progress too soon when Ideas dried up for me.
This month (or year) has left me drained I have finished up a video project that was meant to have been finished up months ago and now I've been very tired lately. I've sketched an idea for a level revision but I feel full hesitantcy trying to open up NLE again to make it. and I feel frustrated because I want to make progress on things but the moment I sit down I feel extra tired.

I'm finished with one of my LPs for my channel and im still at a blank, I'm worried im gonna have the leave the bloated level in if I don't think of something that fits the final boss rank without it being bloated. I feel tired and frustrated that I cant get around this because to be frank I just really want to release this. I want to get back to sketching ideas for Millas 2. And I really want to write a bit of post mortem and being mad at myself for having this take 10 years.

Look at the level below! Can you tell why I want to condense it without sacrificing the challenge factor? I want it to fit the rank but I have drawing blanks for months.

Its basically impossible to select no overwrite for any terrain piece in the recent NLEditor. This option is essential for grouping because drawing earlier would only make the piece get erased by an eraser piece, while no overwrite can put it behind the piece without erasure.

Why is this gone? and where is the previous version of the Editor so I can get this function back?
#11
To Explain, its basically not having to set up the editor again every update, but also so that when I open the editor My presets are preloaded.

Default Set:This is to say what set is chosen at start up, you can select from your folder, or chose Random or Default Random, the Ladder only selecting one of the Original or Oh No sets. the Failsafe would be to fall back on the preinstalled set if the set in question was removed

Default Level Dimensions: Simple as Picking the Height and Width that the editor loads and saving so when the editor is opened that is size it loads

Editor's Name:Left Blank on the Preferences Menu by default but can be made to have what name you write in there because set for the blank level on start up

Player:if more than one player is in the NeoLemmix folder (however it'll only detect Legacy and Community NL for this editor) you can choose between which is played, this will be greyed out if only one compatible player is in the folder

You mind adding a volume slider of some sort for this? Using Volume mixer is globally affects the browser, not just the game. and I rather not having to have ear piecing volume on this given I wear headphones.

Hate to say this but the noggin has been empty and I seriously need Ideas with this layout right here, I want to redo some levels, but its a final rank level that has me stuck here, I need some ideas, blueprints, anything to get me out of this block im stuck in. All I have is this, I want to avoid a builder fest, I need something that fits the last rank, but I haven't been able to fix anything for weeks beyond a single level for another project, its been weeks since I've taken a break and still no Ideas, I've rewatched videos and still im at a blank im frustrated because I want to actually release this.

I've been trying out new versions of the SLX editor for its NL support complete with its QoL features however I came across a couple of bugs in its recent version

Hotkeys not accepted - I have to click on the main editor itself to use hotkeys simply because when I try to use them in the window, nothing happens or it only moves the view point of the level

OBS is 100% Free, no strings attached. Download and set it up is as simple as that.
