A little project I have been working on lately: my first graphic set!

Sanctuary



This graphic set isn't based off of anything and is just my original work. This is also a work in progress, and since this is my first graphic set I wanted to make a thread to kind of allow anyone (especially people that have made a graphic set in the past) to give me any feedback to guide me in the right direction

After participating in Lix multiplayer sessions I think the time has come to start making my own maps!

I made a thread for it... like all the cool kids are doing now-a-days


The Abandoned Sanctuaries



Overtime: 0:50
Players: 2, 4, 6, and 8

A map loosely based on my NeoLemmix level "The Abandoned Sanctuary".

The lix find themselves deep within a cave with strange structures in them. Time and space bends in on itself, allowing an infinite amount of these strange structures in both directions. Are these places really a sanctuary, or some strange underground and forgotten prison?

To survive this map you must guide your lix to the next "sanctuary" to the right of the sanctuary where they initially spawn. There are several ways to go about this: you can go over your structure which is slower but safer, you can go through the bottom which is faster but risky, or you can just go left until you reach your exit which is not recommended.

After discussing this with Nepster and IchoTolot on IRC, we have decided now that the new format version of NeoLemmix is stable, it's time to give the NeoLemmix Introduction Pack a major update to reflect these changes and new features.

For those of you that don't know the NeoLemmix Introduction Pack is designed for players who are not only new to NeoLemmix, but Lemmings in general. The pack is meant to teach new players about NeoLemmix skills, mechanics, objects, etc.

So first thing is first. We need to come up with a game plan for this.


1) We decide how to split up the pack

We could split the pack up into five ranks:

- A rank for showcasing all skills, both classic and new. Each skill will have a tutorial level and small puzzle level after.
- A rank for showcasing NeoLemmix objects and gadgets. Once again each will have a tutorial and puzzle level.
- A rank for special behaviors such as the deadly sides and ceiling.
- A rank for some basic hotkeys. For example, using hotkeys for directional select.
- A rank for some more puzzles to test everything the player has learned so far.


2) We decide what to include or remove

Here is a list of everything the pack will teach so far:

- Infinite and finite time
- Instant bombers
- The deadly edges and ceiling
- One-way arrows in all directions (including up)
- Steel that isn't straight-edged
- Release rate manipulation and locked release rates
- Pre-placed lemmings
- Highlighting a lemming
- Pre-assigned skills
- Zombies
- All NeoLemmix skills (no Shimmier yet)
- One-way force fields
- Pick-up skills (single and multiple-in-one)
- Updrafts
- Teleporters
- Buttons and locked exits
- Splat pads
- Splitters
- One-use traps
- Levels with vertical scrolling
- Clear physics mode
- Fall height ruler
- Talismans


3) We fix and decide what to recycle or create anew

A lot of these things already exist in the latest version (V1.6) of the NeoLemmix Introduction Pack so there is no need to create a new level for them. However, we don't have to recycle everything. We can have a discussion to redo some existing levels if someone can come up with a good alternate level for it. On the other hand, some levels that were tutorials for culled objects such as Slowfreeze and Radiation will have to be removed and/or replaced.

Also levels that relay on ceiling behavior need to be fixed.


I will take the torch and be responsible for everything, but everyone is welcomed to jump in and help: correct me if I'm wrong somewhere, add your thoughts, create new levels, edit existing ones, etc.

Hi, I've been playing the LemForum Pack on Lix every once in a while and decided to start a topic to share my replays and thoughts.


Snowball Battle

After watching Flopsy attempt "Snowball Battle" I decided to attempt the level myself. I may have backrouted the level because...
Regardless, even this solution was tough to find and I agree that this level should be ranked a little higher. Maybe it should be one of the last levels of Quirky or a very early level in Cunning. That's just my opinion. Not sure how others besides Flopsy and I found that level.

Hi!

I've been working on some custom lemming sprites for fun. I'm planning on making some more and will update this thread accordingly, but anyone is welcome to contribute as well!



L2 Shadow Lemmings



We have the tileset, now you have the night crawlers themselves for NeoLemmix!


L2 Highland Lemmings



We have the tileset, now you have the highlanders themselves for NeoLemmix!



How To Use

1) Extract the "lemmings" folder

2) Place this extracted folder in the appropriate style folder located in the main "styles" folder (but really you can use them in any graphic set you want)

3) In the "theme.nxtm" file of your chosen style change "LEMMINGS default" on the top to "LEMMINGS <style that contains the lemmings folder>" For example: if I download "l2-shadow-lemmings" and put them into "l2_shadow" style folder then my theme.nxtm file will say: "LEMMINGS l2_shadow"

4) Enjoy!

An 8 level demo is now available! Download below! --- Demo contains levels from Helium, Neon, and Argon



Almost 200 years after "The Great Lemming Migration" and its story is now a mere legend that only a handful of elders can remember inaccurately. Regardless, our cute little rodents have accomplished grand things in the meantime. They have build a new metropolis from the ground up that serves as a sanctuary to all Lemmings from around the world. A sanctuary to all lemmings who wish to escape the mysterious "cataclysm" and to escape the on-going need to solve puzzles in dangerous landscapes just to migrate to warmer climates. It's time to go beyond survival and reach one destination that will end all destinations.

Only you can successfully guide these cute rodents through 90 levels and get them safely to their new home again! Can you do it?



Difficulties

Helium



Lemming Rig

These levels are nice and light, and you may simply float through them. Don't get too comfortable though, as these levels aren't complete pushovers. X-of-everything levels are super rare as your first simple puzzles with limited skills will be presented right away!


Neon



Crossover

Now the neon glow of menacing difficulty will begin... but that's too dramatic for these levels are some more simple puzzles with limited skills, but solutions require a little bit more thinking now.


Argon



Hikers

Things start getting heavier now. The levels start becoming a bit more complex and solutions will challenge your ideals and beliefs... or just your solving skills really.


Xenon



Blue Wedding

Here we are at the odd child of the five ranks... more Wicked and Taxing than ever! They take pride in their penultimate position and will gladly start presenting some tough levels that are almost borderline.


Radon



City Escape

Levels are now just radioactive, and a huge health risk to anyone unprepared. You've come too far now, can you really turn back? Levels are more complex and require max creative thinking on how you use all your skills and how you approach even the simplest of strategies. Just remember to never give up!


Synthetic (Bonus)



Guardians Of The Hero's Shrine (Contest 14)

Because a bonus rank is always the best rank . Made in a lab and unable to occur in nature, these levels are mostly contest levels gathered together into one rank.


Fallout (Bonus 2)



The Ominous Plane

The final bonus rank filled some of the weirdest creations from my sick and twisted imagination! No one would bother putting them in the main pack, so they got their own rank and its only warning is to make sure you keep your sanity nice and tight on your head!

Hello everybody!

Inspired by Flopsy's newest top 15 video, I have decided to finally start a YouTube channel (it's not live yet). Yeah, I know, I never had one because I just never had anything interesting to post, but I think that I'm going to go for it regardless if my content is interesting or not because I don't expect it to become huge anyway .

I don't know what I'll be doing yet though, but one thing that I would like to do is maybe start off my channel with a video that kind of like advertises NeoLemmix in general (not necessarily a specific version) similar to the video Lix has. For example, show off its main features like frame skipping, the builder, miner, digger preview, etc. I might even go as far as to show off some fan-made levels (without giving away solutions, of course, and levels that aren't too late in the pack). All of this would be to attract new users that may not know about this community and as a way to tell new people, "Hey, we are still an active community and check out what we have done!".

I was going to ask this in the IRC chat but decided to write it here in order to better articulate my thoughts and get more opinions on the subject manner. I don't know if I'm allowed to do something like this, so I just wanted to ask to be sure. If this is okay to make and you don't want your level pack to be in it, or you have specific levels you would like to include, you can let me know in this thread.
