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.

Thanks for the quick resolution!

This is a bit ambitious, but it's a lot more realistic of a project than a full-blown OS.

I hope you understand that it will take time and effort to actually make this - but there are many users on these forums who wanted to make something, didn't really know what they were doing, put in the effort to learn, and eventually made something. As long as you understand that it will take effort, it will be hard work at times (but there'll be a lot of fun seeing your work come to life, too), and it will be a long time before any major project gets to the point where you can even see, let alone really share, any results - you can get there. If you need some inspiration, take a look at WillLem - he didn't know the first thing about programming when he joined here, nowdays he's capable of coding in multiple languages and producing very good results.

GameMaker is definitely a significant step up from Scratch and similar sites. While arguably more "basic" than programming languages, GameMaker is powerful enough that many good games you can buy on Steam etc (and even sometimes, consoles) are made in it. If you're finding that GameMaker works well for you, I very much encourage you to stick with it and continue learning and improving your skills in it. I believe that for myself, a similar app - Click & Create - was instrumental in my abilities getting to where they are now, even though it was relatively "simplified".

I was just about to mention this from your post in the "[RELEASE][2.4 UPDATE] RetroLemmini - A brand new version of Lemmini for 2025!" thread before you said so yourself. If I may say so, I really like this one. It's probably the best one out of :shrug: :geek: and :xmas:.
