Mine or Silken's is fine. Let's try and get those :geek: and :shrug: emojis included as well.

HAND OVER SUCH SACRED UNLOCKER

making stuff in gamemaker is like bomb defusal
the PLANCK TIME you get ONE EENSY TEENSY thing wrong EVERYTHING EXPLODES

stoopid game maker decided i must read the forum instead of actual game dev 
you know what
LEMHORDE
                   

thanks dude I'm using the pixel template with some visual features turned off.
lorewise... should i skimp over chronicles and continue from there, or try to finish lemmings 3 as a tutorial? thats a bad idea since im using the classic lemmings gameplay so thats bad

also remeber when yo wanted the farter skill in corrupt a wish?
no farter but something similar will get added, mostly as a gimmick where you have to dial in the exact number of lemmings instead of dumping them in. The Stinker! "he smells bad" -every other lemming

This one can't be played in-browser.

I always appreciate in emojis when emojis are based on simple modifications of another emoji. For example on Twemoji, this emoji:


Is actually just this emoji:


With teeth and glasses added on.

I always thought that was a nice touch, so I wanted to make the Santa emoji be based off of the classical Lemming . I don't see the need to create a new eyes expression for it. Actually I think the eyes might be from ?

Good idea for both the Santa and for the other emojis. I would feel a bit sad losing some emojis, and I always think it's better to avoid changing hotlinked things as much on principle just in case. As you say, there is a lot of overlap though, so maybe it's worth it.

If WillLem can send the santa hat on it's own prehaps we can make more Santa emojis e.g. Santa .

In hindsight, after thinking on it more, I'm really not sure about :geek:. Orange glasses really don't convey geek to me. As for :shrug: I'm not sure if we should have both the animated and non-animated, one of them, or neither. I guess we already have animated emojis with non-animated counterparts e.g. , , , and the animation does convey shrugging more, so that would make sense. So if we use that precedent to chop down the decisions I'd probably say an animated shrug is fine.

Before you add it I made this alternate version, what does everyone else think?

is relevant and easy to see. I'll add it as :santa:, not as :xmas:. Both are short and clear, but :santa: is more precise.

The point of the excercise is to familiarize myself with the smiley management. I've never implemented my 2019 ideas and ccx was the only admin to add anything. I promised to be a groundskeeper first and to take good care of your lemmings, and uneasy lies the head that wears a crown.
