Quote from: WillLem on February 09, 2026, 04:38:24 AMWhat about once it reaches 0 and lems are still entering the hatch?

This is one of the problems with the negative saved display actually: once it reaches 0, the positive number thereafter becomes somewhat meaningless. If it reads "7", for example, what that actually means is "the save requirement + 7".

One option for this would be to display extra saves as '+X'. This could work with both negative and non negative req count really, but for the case of using a positive req counting down adding '+' in front after saving enough helps differentiate it. A plus in and of itself also kinda denotes 'extra' a lot of times, so it's indicating they're bonus as well. And it doesn't take up any more space than the minus already does.

I've been wanting to dive into custom levels for a while but wasn't sure where the community was at these days. Seeing NeoLemmix and Lix side-by-side makes it much easier to choose where to start.

Uploaded V1 of the RetroLemmini version of GeoffLems, converted to .rlv and with exits/entrances fixed where necessary. The pack now uses the Amiga music bundled with RL so no need to download additional music.

V1.4 Update

All levels have been converted to .rlv and are fully compatible with RetroLemmini 2.7 and later.

Get the latest version of the pack here.

Should be do-able. I'll certainly look into it.

What about once it reaches 0 and lems are still entering the hatch?

This is one of the problems with the negative saved display actually: once it reaches 0, the positive number thereafter becomes somewhat meaningless. If it reads "7", for example, what that actually means is "the save requirement + 7".

One thing that could make sense is this:

Display the positive "to be saved" number whilst the requirement has not been met. Count down as lems are saved.
Once 0 is reached, switch to displaying the total saved (change colour as well). Count up as lems are saved.

The negative display could do a similar thing, although it would actually be exactly the same but with a "-" symbol, so could probably just be retired altogether.

Quote from: Guigui on February 08, 2026, 01:58:45 PMAlso a thing that disturbs my brain is that the "in hatch" number is displayed before the "total" number. The other way around would make more sense to me.

Why?

Hatch count is the total lems to begin with, before any have spawned. If we read left to right, then, this number should absolutely be at the start of the display, should it not?

Just a little update! The level pack is more than half way done and the levels are coming along quite nicely. I am thankful for the testers and I'm preparing to send out the next demo to them soon. I'm hoping to get a few more levels into it before doing so.

With all being said, I am staring to anticipate a March or April release if things keep going as they've been. Also, I am trying to make my levels less open ended.

Thanks to kaywhyn, Armani and JawaJuice for the testing! Thank you to Kevin for the encouragement and motivation to keep going. Finally, thank you for reading/keeping up with the scoop, and please, keep on playing Lemmings!

I like that NeoLemmix uses Master System music after a successful or failed level. I wonder if RetroLemmini would use them too. 

Eligible Level Packs

This is simply a rough list of levels that are eligible. They have not nessecerially been nominated, and the majority probably won't be. Please note that this is probably not a complete list, especially in regard to Lix levels; if you can think of anything that should be added, let me know!
