Lemmings Plus V - Development Topic

[namida]

Working Bee is the intended solution. The Forgotten Beauty is yet another backroute... that level seems to have a lot of them.

I secretly slipped a new demo into the first post a few days ago. I think it's time to actually draw attention to it now, so yeah...

One level from each rank in this one. It also features two levels in the 4th graphic set. If you want to see what it is but don't want to play the demo and find out, check the first page.

Here's a couple more level maps that I made recently.

"All About The Moves, Baby" is a mid-to-late-Unruly level, while "Lemmingcatcher" is a late-Touchy level.

I thought I had uploaded V4 of the second demo, but apparently V3 was still up. I've put V4 up now for sure.

I solved Touchy 1 and Unruly 1. Here are the replays I attached on this post.

[namida]

Your replay for Unruly 1 doesn't work on the latest version of the level. Your solution to Touchy 1 is fine though, well done.

Managed to solve the levels in the first 3 ranks although "Insert Bee Pun Here" took me a while to work out.

Same as last demo, stuck on 2 levels. No surprise which ones, at least neither of them are Honeycomb ones this time

Great levels in this demo, I especially like the newest graphic set in this one

[joshescue18]

What about this? It's from Unruly 1 from Demo II.

[namida]

You got the intended solution perfectly. Well done.

We're getting towards the point where I'd like to start organising some more in-depth prerelease testing, since we're only one level away from the two-thirds complete mark.

If you're interested in testing, post here or drop me a PM. It's up to you how much of the game you want to test; in general, I'd be looking for (a) backroutes, and (b) feedback on the difficulty curve. Preference will be given to those who have helped test Lemmings Plus packs in the past, but anyone who wants to help out can offer. As usual, I'm wanting people of all types of skill levels - so don't worry if you're not great at solving hard levels, because the easy levels need testing too.

Officially hit the 2/3rds mark now! Here's the level that brought it to this mark; a somewhat unusual Machine level. Currently it's placed in early Unruly.

[namida]

For the first time, every rank is in the double-digits for number of levels now! (Of course, it might not stay this way if levels get shifted around more.)

[namida]

Here's a somewhat artistic level I just made in the Machine style, called The "What The Lemming" Machine.

40 lemmings, save 35, release rate 1, no time limit.
10 Climbers, 10 Floaters, 1 Glider, 5 Builders, 2 Bashers.

I've currently got it placed in early-Edgy, but that may be subject to change.

[namida]

And for those who find this kind of stuff interesting; the latest output from the style counter. I won't say anything more about this, except that it does include one copy of a "filler" level, used for the spaces I haven't put a level in yet. For the musics that have been revealed, I've noted which ones they are here too.

Well, levels have just hit the 80% complete mark!

Our level that brought us to this mark was actually a rather early level in the pack, specifically, I've currently got it placed at Blissful 5.
