Lemmings Universe
« on: July 18, 2018, 04:38:07 PM »
Hi everyone! I ran across the forum today while looking for info about the new Totaku Lemmings figure. I'm really glad to see the forum as active as it is. Lemmings Universe is my site, which I originally put up in 2002 (or was it 2001? Hard to remember now.) I haven't updated it in many years, but I keep it online and have dreams of completely redoing it someday. For those that have been here less than 14 years(!), this board originally grew out of the Lemmings Universe Discussion Board, which got taken offline in 2004.

The backstory there is that I was out of the country for an extended period back then, and the board got overrun with spam. I wasn't in a position to fix it, so I took it down. But I was really happy that some enterprising forum members started a new forum (this one) and people moved over to it.

I don't have as much free time to devote to hobbies now as I did back then (when I was a teenager), but I still love Lemmings, collect Lemmings stuff, and play it often.

Anyway, happy to be here, and I'm going to try to be active.

Well, welcome (back?) to the forums, then! ;)

As I expected, I see there are a lot of downloads on your website. Most of them look like stuff from the original games to me. Do you have any custom levels from back in the day that you may consider converting for NeoLemmix (or one of the other engines used here)?
My packs so far:
Lemmings World Tour (New & Old Formats), my music-themed flagship pack, 320 levels - Let's Played by Colorful Arty
Lemmings Open Air, my newest release and follow-up to World Tour, 120 levels
Paralems (Old Formats), a more flavour-driven one, 150 levels
Pit Lems (Old Formats), a more puzzly one, 100 levels - Let's Played by nin10doadict
Lemmicks, a pack for (very old) NeoLemmix 1.43 full of gimmicks, 170 levels

We've actually been through several iterations of the forums between then and now. This is just the latest in a long line of them; we've been at this site for close to 3 years now.
My Lemmings projects
2D Lemmings: NeoLemmix (engine) | Lemmings Plus Series (level packs) | Doomsday Lemmings (level pack)
3D Lemmings: Loap (engine) | L3DEdit (level / graphics editor) | L3DUtils (replay / etc utility) | Lemmings Plus 3D (level pack)

It seems like there have been migrations so the posts here go all the way back to that time (summer of 2004). Pretty amazing to keep a community like this going across forum moves.
