Welcome to the Level of the Year 2024 voteoff!

So, most of you will know how this works, but just in case - and so that specifics are covered - here's a quick rundown.

The 53 nominated levels have been divided into 6 groups of 8/9 levels, semi-randomly. To be specific, the division was done in such a way that a single author wouldn't have too many levels in a single group.

Each group will be voted on, with only 2 levels from each group advancing to Phase 2. We try to bring the number down to 2 in one single Round. I plan no tiebreakers for this and if we have a minor tie then all tied levels advance. In case of a lot of major ties (5or6+ levels), I might run a tiebreaker later.

If we then have a bit more than 12 levels in phase 2, these will be split up into new groups for phase 2. There, I also plan to just let 2-3 of each group survive with no tiebreakers if possible. Only in the final phase I plan to enforce the top 3 placements with tiebreakers.

If you want to see the full list of nominated levels in non-randomized order, check the nominations list topic.
If you want to play these levels without having to dig up all the various level packs, check the playing phase topic which has a pack available for download that contains all the nominated levels.

Please remember that discussing the nominated levels is not allowed in the LOTY2024 topics now that voting has begun. This does not apply to levels that have already been eliminated at the time. Discussing them elsewhere in the site is okay, as long as it's not in the context of LOTY2024.

The voting will be done in the 3 new voting topics:

Voting topic 1
Voting topic 2
Voting topic 3

A small update; Thank you to doublemover (2xmvr on Discord) for tracking down a Crash Bandicoot buddy of a similar style and various other (non-Sony) toys of different products. I managed to find the email of the person who made the Crash toy originally, and given the connections I'm hopeful that he created the Lemmings toy, too. Fingers crossed he gets back to me.

Hello tan x and Dexter,

I've played and solved your guys' new level. Replay attached. It's essentially the intended solution but I did better by saving a builder Nice level nevertheless!

Hey all,

My brother and I came up with a fun concept which we developed into a level.

It's for NeoLemmix, and requires the 'Hoard' tileset from Lemmings Faithful.

Solution is also attached as a separate file.

Let us know what you think! 

snes s1 can be done with 50% saved, only works in the japanese version

One idea I had, but never really found the time to try creating art for it, was an industrial theme.  Other people have already designed such things though, but the ideas would include things like concrete terrain, 80's-style yellow and red hazard lights (those coloured domes with a spinning internal reflector... you see a lot of them in the Aliens film) and green or blue-coloured gas flames as fire hazards.

In a similar vein, a style reminiscent of an alien have, with oozing tentacles and biomechanical tubes, acid pools and maybe the occasional impaling spine trap (the tip of which could look like the barb at the end of the Alien Queen's tail).

I will try to create the groups and everything this weekend, so I can then start the voting. 

I plan to make use of the 3 voting topics again so we can speed up the process a bit. 

All rightie, I've recorded videos covering all of the LOTY2024 levels

was trying to optimize one of my replays, but i cant seem to be able to cancel the "replaying"

Quote"Replaying" can be cancelled by performing an action or by clicking the left mouse button (or touching) in the level viewport

this only seems to work on the web version, on the local one it simply just does nothing.

edit: it does work, but you cant cancel it from a replay file. so you cant modify a replay.
