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.

Stay safe out there

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?

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.

I take it you aren't familiar with screen capture software yet?

Fortunately finding free screen capture software is easy to come by. My personal recommendation is OBS. It'll allow you to add a source capture, tinker with audio settings, and even choose your output settings. Here's the web page if you need it

That way you shan't need to use a camera for your screen capture

There's been a bit of game clearing and testing between and after the new pc.

I've been busy with Legends ZA and Star Crossed World

I can finally play games like Lethal Company, Peak, The Karters 2 and possibly others

Platinum'd Sonic Racing Cross Worlds, Once Upon a Katamari, and got all trophies for the PS4 version of Sonic Mania and have been working my way through Sonic Forces

And I've resumed editing for Ratchet & Clank

I couldn't answer this earlier but for the whole In game color. I feel you're gonna need more than my choice to decide. I can say the Baja Teal for ingame if I really want to but I want to know other's input if Baja Teal is a favorable choice, or if there's something else that contrasts without being too bright or hard on the eyes. Not to mention accessibility issues considering if say someone is colorblind, but thats another discussion.

Blow me away, I wish I can make levels like this with the original sets. I struggle to make stuff look good when using the original stuff.

Forgive the double post but I have recently logged in with my new PC, even recovering things from the old PC
