Quote from: namida on September 30, 2026, 09:38:20 PMThe reason for the rules has been explained. Multiple times we have attempted to explain to lemmkeev what is and isn't appropriate, only for him to go and create a topic that ignores the spirit of everything said in favor of looking for some "exact words" technicality or cover story to continue posting new topics for a small number of levels. Whether this is an intentional attempt to exploit loopholes, or a genuine failure to understand, setting an explicit "post your levels in this topic only" guideline avoids any further issues.

I am sure you can understand the idea that sometimes if people are struggling to understand general rules, they may need bespoke ones specifically tailored to them, which in some cases may be a bit stricter in order to reduce the risk of misunderstandings and/or reduce the need for judgement calls that someone is struggling to make correctly.

And with this said, that's where I'm drawing the line on discussing this issue with people who are not involved in it. Going forward I will only discuss lemmkeev's individual situation further with other site staff, or with lemmkeev himself. Unless a need arises to make a public post directed at lemmkeev on this subject again, it's time for this topic to go back to its original purpose: for leemkeev to share his levels, rather than to discuss the standards of the NeoLemmix Levels board and its subforums and enforcement thereof.

yeah like... i tought posting levels with fan-made required styles on the styles topic wasn't  a problem :forehead:

anyways...

ill follow the rules and i hope i dont get another warning (beacuse im too scared of getting banned :-[ )

OK, I didn't know if just GigaLem thought that WillLem could have potentially meant that, or if you did as well, or if you just meant to tell GigaLem that the topics won't be deleted without thinking WillLem could have possibly meant that. Just wanted to clarify that the "In Development" being removed and the topics in them themselves being deleted are two independent things.

Wasn't the second-latest post here in a "level design" board with a level attached to it? I think that's fair enough honestly to show a level to demonstrate your level design princples or whatever? I don't think he was trying to loophole tbh. I feel like it only probably got moved because of his reputation it seemed like he was trying to loophole.

Don't mean to minimod, feel free to tell me it's none of my business, but may I suggest that you/we all not give him hard time about this and/or no punitive action gets taken e.g. forum warnings unless it gets really bad? I think English could possibly not be his 1st language, he seens to get upset when him breaking the rules get pointed out, I don't think he's deliberately trying to break the rules, and it's pretty harmless in the grand scheme of things to just move the level to the right place. But again feel free to say it's none of my buisness and to stay out of it

New in 1.7.3

  • Double-tap − or + to set the release rate to the minimum or the maximum. A single press still changes the rate by one step.
  • Press N to nuke. Press N again to undo the nuke while undo is still possible. Outside play, N in Classic still opens the next level.
  • Oh My! All Lemmings! now selects 292 lessons: eight skill introductions, 160 intermediate applications, 90 difficult lessons and 34 expert challenges. Official levels take priority within comparable difficulty bands. The corpus includes all 120 Classic, 100 Oh No! and 72 seasonal levels. Repeated tutorials, duplicate observed applications and port copies are excluded. One transition remains flagged for playtesting. L2/L3 mechanics stay outside this journey.
  • 30 more Classic fan levels can be completed. The DOS rules ignored the exits on these levels. The exits now work, as they do in the fan editors.
  • 2,136 Classic fan levels now have a verified win.
  • A lemming that falls too far and lands in an exit is now saved, as in DOS.
  • NeoLemmix: A Disarmer disables a trap when it starts work, so the lemmings that follow can walk past. Builders, Platformers and Stackers continue their work correctly after a teleporter. Stackers start at the correct height.
  • Lemmings 2 and Lemmings 3 stay in Preview. This update adds more checks of both games against the original releases.

I have now updated the golden path, reducing it to 292 levels with a much nicer curve, focusing on the intermediate section as well as clear teaching progression through skills and techniques. Thank you again for your feedback!

This is excellent feedback. The curve needs to move off the "fun" plane and get into the intermediate strata earlier (which is what I feel is missing in the first place). This is a starting point, and it will definitely be refined as I playtest it manually along with player feedback. Obvious candidates for removal will be redundant skill introduction levels.

For the record, this is just one way to play the game. All the original levels are in the original order if you want them.
