I've had a lot going on in real life lately and I've also got some big news.

My girlfriend is expecting, so we're kind of rushing to plan a wedding... probably before the end of the year (she's about two months in now)
Definitely not something I had in my roadmap for this stage of life but hey, it is what it is. :evil:  It looks like I've unlocked a new life quest too soon. :crylaugh:

So... I'll probably be less active this year and maybe next year too. That said, the original release date by the end of 2026 doesn't look realistic anymore. This project is still happening 100%. I'm planning to finish it for myself and for everyone who's been waiting. Things are pretty hectic for me right now, but once everything settles down, I'll be back at it, hopefully with better time management stats. ;)
As most of you know already, I'm really passionate about making and playing custom lemmings levels, so there's no way I'm abandoning this level pack! 8-)

I'll let you know if anything new about this level pack comes up 8-)

NeoLemmix Levels / Re: Oh Wow! More New Worlds

Thank you very much for playing our pack! :thumbsup:  I'll attach my own solutions to my levels, including the talisman solutions, so you can compare them with yours if you want! I also updated one of my level. :forehead: (Down the Rabbit Hole)

@Dexter
Spoiler
Mesmerizing
Intended! :laugh:

Mirror World
There's a minor difference between my solution and yours, but yours is perfectly acceptable too. ;)

In the Rear with the Gear
Intended! :laugh:

Down the Rabbit Hole
This one I may call a backroute. :(

Terrarium
Acceptable solution! I'll attach my talisman solution below!

The Chosen One
Perfect solution! Yeah, the skillset is a bit unusual. When I made the level, I first chose several skills and limited myself to using only those, and then tried to find interesting interactions between skill types that don't normally interact much. :santa:

@Guigui
Spoiler
Mirror World
I'd consider both your solution and Dexter's acceptable. ;)  The main idea I had in mind for this level was figuring out how to make a splatform with two builders so that the crowds from both sides can land safely. I'll attach my solution below.

The trigger areas of exits(and most other objects) have fixed relative positions. Because of that, rotating/flipping/inverting them can sometimes make the trigger areas look visually odd. That's why people usually avoid things like inverted traps or water except for aesthetic purposes, at least not in ways where the unusual trigger areas affect the solution. :XD:

That said, if someone asked me "Should a shimmiering lemming be able to use an exit attached to the ceiling he's shimmiering along?" my answer would be yes becuase it looks so natural! And in the same way, a shimmiering lemming can press a button attached to the ceiling. ;)

The Chosen One
Good luck with this level! Let me know if you'd like a hint. 8-)

In Development / Re: Ah yes, PimoreLems!

Oh, I'm never passing up a chance to play Pieuw's levels! :laugh:  Here are some comments for the individual levels:

Spoiler
01_The_Bad_Beginning
It's an auto-level, just like the original first level of Pimolem. The path the lemmings take forming the letters 'L', 'E', 'M' is a nice little touch! :thumbsup:

04_Emerald_Cave
Something tells me the intended solution involves sending one climber over the exit area to build the bridge from the other side. That way, you can solve the level with 10 skills, which perfectly meets the talisman condition. And it's much more interesting than just building non-stop! 8-)

09_The_Strange_Relics_of_Lemnos
Simple skill set, yet the level has a very clever solution. :thumbsup:

11_Minimal_Design
Possibly the hardest talisman in the Calm rank ???

12_Ancient_Crash_Site
It's very clear where to use all three bashers, and having only one miner to deal with multiple gem obstacles narrows down the solution. It took me several attempts to perfectly execute the builder-miner combo.

14_Pagoda_St
A great level where you have to be creative with diggers and miners to compensate for the lack of bashers. I think I might have bypassed the second half of the level by building over the second pagoda structure though! ;P

15_Standard_Test_Chamber
This level reminds me of playing Portal for the first time. :laugh:  The companion cubes, the buttons, the guide lines showing which object is connected to which button. It's all there!(well except for the portals themselves ;P )

19_Iron_Industry
Probably my favorite level of this batch. I love the logic behind it, figuring out the sequence for collecting pick-up skills and how many lemmings to dispatch for them. Not to mention, the level layout looks fantastic. :laugh:

The fact that this is just a demo of the first rank makes me really look forward to seeing how the rest of the pack turns out! :D

I'm going on a month-long trip. I probably won't be checking PMs while I'm away. I should still be able to check the LF Discord server/DM though. ;)

I gave the pack a try and I had a lot of fun playing through it! :santa:
My favorite levels are Sweet6 and Sour6.
Sweet6 gives me a mobile Lemmings game vibe: the portals on the wall and the 1:1.6 screen resolution! Using a locked exit to give the pioneer lemming time to build a path is very clever. :thumbsup:
#6
@Guigui

Yes, you're definitely on the right track. In fact it seems like you already know how to send a lemming to the middle level - the clue is in your own words:
in your words literally
by shimmier hanging under the bridge ;P

@kaywhyn

Your solutions for R1 and R2 match my intended solutions perfectly. R3 is also acceptable. :thumbsup:

R1 – I love your logical deduction on this level. This is exactly how I imagine an expert player would approach the solution gradually eliminating possibilities one by one. 8-)

R2 – Also intended! This level is all about properly setting up the splatform so the lemming can survive the fall after performing digger+builder.

R3 – You collected all the correct pick-ups and took the intended route. You used the miner in a slightly different way but that's a minor difference and completely acceptable. ;)

@IchoTolot @JawaJuice
You both found the intended solution! Well done :thumbsup:

Technically, converting old level packs so they can be played in the latest version of NeoLemmix is not a huge job. Though up to now, level packs created in old formats have usually been converted to NXLV and maintained when there was a user who was willing to do so typically for highly regarded packs.

If you want to convert old levels in order to play them yourself in latest NeoLemmix, here are some ways to convert level files from various formats into NXLV files.


nxp → lvl

Drag and drop the nxp file you want to convert onto nxpextract.exe.
(Do not run nxpextract.exe directly, just drag the nxp file onto the nxpextract.exe icon ;) )


ini → lvl

Run NeoLemmix Editor 1.43
Go to Tools → Mass Format Converter
Click Add Files and select the level files you want to convert
Select Style: SuperLemmini and click OK
Click Convert


dat → lvl

Run DatPacker.exe
Go to File → Open and select the dat file you want to convert
Select the contents you want to extract (levels, styles etc..)
Click Extract


lvl → nxlv

Create a folder under NeoLemmix 12.9.4\levels and put the level files you want to convert into it
Run NeoLemmix.exe and press F8
The converted results will appear in the Cleanse folder

If anything is unclear, feel free to ask! ;)

QuoteHowever, all this is scuppered by the fact that the builder dies in the splat zone when he's finished building up three bridges and I just can't see a way around this! It HAS to be 3 bridges high otherwise it won't prevent the splat.
Actually you provided the correct explanation of IchoTolot's backroute for the level which I initially overlooked. :forehead:


There's a hint I posted in my response to Crane which I'll repeat here:
Spoiler
First, the two workers must meet on the lower floor and build a bridge together. After that, one of them should go back upstairs to complete his own task.
+
additional hints
Spoiler
Digging through the splat zone to allow the top lemming to fall safely is actually necessary. However, the lemming who digs through the thin floor must not end up on the bottom level, which means you have to prevent him from falling by assigning a builder. But how does he survive the fall after he finishes building? That's where the bridge that the two workers build together comes into play. ;)

@JawaJuice

I didn't notice that you had posted your solution for my r2, sorry! :forehead:

Spoiler
Unfortunately your solution is a backroute. You're right that I'm trying to force the player to use both exits though. It's required by the rule!  ;)

r2 v2->v3
added a steel block

@IchoTolot
Your solutions to R1 & R3 are intended  :santa:  :thumbsup:
R2 could use an update though..

NeoLemmix Levels / Re: Holiday Lemmings 2024

Thank you very much for playing our pack and for the detailed feedback! :thumbsup:
I can confirm that all of your solutions (at least for my levels ;P ) are either intended or perfectly acceptable. In particular I would call your solution to The Bear Necessities a "clever alternative," while all the others are exactly as intended. Mobiethian and I had great fun making this pack so I'm really happy to hear that you also enjoyed playing it!

Here're some comments on individual levels ;)
Spoiler
Lems Are Playing Freeze Tag – I hoped this level would help you get used to the slider mechanic for the upcoming more difficult slider level.(Watch your step... :evil: )

Lighter Than a Snowflake – Looking back now this level might be a bit too difficult for where it is placed. I've received similar feedback from several people. :XD:

23:58:30 12/24 – The idea behind this level was: can you make a level with a single hatch and n exits, with a time limit that only allows a solution if you go for all n exits? The answer turned out to be a relatively easy "yes". ;P

Lost and Found – I wanted to give some spotlight to one of the least-used skills: the stoner. You can create terrain mid-air without any starting point for constructive skills and that's a unique feature of the stoner!

Claustrophobia 2 – A spiritual successor to my level Claustrophobia from the previous Xmas pack. The urgency created by the tight timer is completely intentional! :evil:

Happy New Year! – Just for your information, several levels were co-authored. The general rule is: the first author listed creates the terrain/objects and the second author creates the solution. ;)

Living in a Fairy Tale – This is my favorite tileset. :thumbsup:

The Bear Necessities – Not exactly intended, but your solution is actually better than my original one! :lem-shocked:

Walking Bearfoot in the Snow – Yes, I didn't want to add too many extra elements beyond the main idea of the sacrificial jumper.

Sky Shield – I think you could have solved this level even without the hints!

Watch Your Step! – The theme I had in mind was that all skills must be provided as pickups similar to rule #3 in the current level design contest. :laugh:

Warm Cozy Basement – I'm glad you liked this one. It's my personal favorite level in the pack! :)

Constructus Interruptus – Yes, this level stands out a bit in terms of difficulty. I could have removed some tricks to make it easier but ultimately I ended up liking them too much and kept everything as-is. :evil:

Where Angels Dare – Yes, this one is more of a visual level. I drew the scenery first and the solution came afterward!

And They Lived Happily Ever After – If this level made you laugh, then it achieved exactly what it was meant to do. :laugh:  I didn't have any particular reference in mind when choosing the title.

@JawaJuice done! 8-)
I wanted to respect the advertised difficulty given by the authors.
Though if we are to assign difficulties to packs that don't come with one by the authors, kaywhyn's extensive experience would be very helpful. And yes, Lemmings Stampede is quite a hard nut to crack!
