Since rtw hasn't done any lemmings streams in a few months (due to being very busy), I have decided to start my own custom lemmings streams. If you send me your custom levels via email (send to colorfularty@gmail.com) or PM I would be happy to play them. Make sure you include your Lemmings Forums name, the level in question, the engine it is for, as well as any others necessary files such as custom music or graphic sets. I will play Lemmini, SuperLemmini, or NeoLemmix levels, so you have some options. Replays are also useful for me, as I don't consider myself to be great at Lemmings, but not necessary. Don't be afraid to send lots of levels, as I am more than happy to archive them. :)

I stream on my Twitch account: https://www.twitch.tv/colorfularty
If you follow me, Twitch should notify you when I go live as well.

Before I do any streams though, I want to get some feedback from you guys. First of all, is this something people are even interested in? Second, what day/time works the best for the most people. I am quite flexible, especially on the weekends, but if I stream on weekdays, then I will have to plan around classes and make sure to book recording rooms in advance. I'll post a poll for which days work the best.

Flopsy

Awesome Arty, I'm glad someone has decided to take on some streaming due to RTW's long absence of Lemmings streams.

I would have done it myself if my internet connection wasn't pants. I'll happily send you the levels which I sent to RTW and he hasn't played though :thumbsup:

Chances are I'll miss most of the streams though unless they are on Monday or Tuesday though :XD:

mobius

nice! I have a couple of levels I'd like to get some feedback on. I have to work on them a little first. One is done on the experimental and uses a trap I added.

Weekdays in my time zone (which I believe is Sunday to Thursday for you) work best for me.
My 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)
Non-Lemmings: Commander Keen: Galaxy Reimagined (a Commander Keen fangame)

Thanks Arty for doing this!!! :thumbsup:

I also wanted to try out streaming, but I have other IRL stuff to deal with as well. The levels I will likely send to you are those that are not from LemmingBytes.

Have level designer's block right now? Have some of my incomplete levels for LOTS of ideas!

Flopsy

sigh guess I won't get to see these streams then, sick of working Saturdays :(

Colorful Arty

Just because one day gets the most votes does not mean I will exclusively stream on that day. I'm just trying to get a ballpark of which days have the most people available. I will make sure to not play a person's levels on a stream if that person cannot make it to said stream. Plus, even if you have to work on a stream day, I may not stream until you get off of work.

namida

One thing I should point out: It'd be helpful to people who may not know you so well, if you either state what time zone you're in, or give all dates / times in UTC (and state that you're doing so).

Non-Lemmings: Commander Keen: Galaxy Reimagined (a Commander Keen fangame)

Colorful Arty

That will be the next poll: determining the best time on the best days. I am in Eastern Standard Time, but I have a lot of flexibility for streaming times, especially on weekends, so I'll leave it to a poll.

Colorful Arty

The results are in! It looks like I will mostly be streaming on a Monday, Saturday, or Sunday! This does NOT mean I will never stream any other day though.

Added a poll so people know to vote for the time you want me to stream!

Colorful Arty

My first stream is planned for this coming Sunday (October 2nd) at 7:00pm Eastern Standard Time. I was going to start at 8, but I could only get a room from 7-9 as opposed to 8-10, and I want to allow for more than an hour for the streams just in case. Make sure you tune in at my twitch channel at that time; it should be quite fun! :)

Wafflem

Awesome, can't wait for this! :thumbsup: Unless other stuff happens that day, I'll try to show up starting around 7:45 EST.

Flopsy

Going to throw it out there in case there is interest.

I'm sure those who are following the poker videos on either mine, namida or Arty's channel may be aware that we've started doing Skype chats during our poker games and it has led to some interesting conversations caught on video about any topic in general.

Anyway the idea I have is there could be a massive Skype chat going on during the stream, of course joining in is optional and the normal stream chat will still be there for those who don't want to but I just thought it would be interesting to see many people gather and Skype chat during the stream about the levels we watch Arty solve. Of course Arty himself is welcome to join the Skype as well!

Some of us on the IRC are already friends on Skype but if anyone on here is interested in adding me on Skype, just PM me :thumbsup:

Of course I'd record the whole thing myself and put it on my youtube channel (with Arty's permission of course).

Colorful Arty

That sounds fun! I am all for joining in the Skype call, and you are more than welcome to record my stream and put it on Youtube. Just make sure people know it is my stream.

Colorful Arty

I think it's time for another stream! This Saturday at 7:00 EST I will be streaming custom lemmings levels. I have only three this time, but if I finish early, I may show off one of the levels for my new pack! Be there or be square. This time, I will be streaming on Youtube, since I think that will be more stable than Twitch.

I'll try making it, anyone up for a skype call when it happens?

mobius

I can join a Skype call. Now that I finally got it working. I just wish we could figure out the delay issue

Colorful Arty

I'm planning on another stream this Saturday at 7:00pm EST. This time, it's not lemmings, but I will be speedrunning Mega Man Rock Force, a Mega Man fan game which is extremely well-done and fun. Even if you are not normally a Mega Man fan, I invite you to watch, as it should be quite a fun watch. Also, it hopefully will be under an hour. My last speedrun I timed was around 1 hour 12 minutes, but I ROYALLY screwed up in several places which cost me around 10-15 minutes. I hope to see you then! :D

Colorful Arty

Also, all of my streams will be done on Youtube from now on. It worked MUCH better than twitch for both me and the viewers.

Colorful Arty

Is everyone ready for a Saturday stream? 7pm EST like the previous ones, and I'll be streaming Zemmings Vol 1. It's a short pack, so maybe I'll prepare something else as well. I hope to see you then!

And if a skype call will be had soon afterwards, i'll shall be there, also, prepare to hear me play Pokemon Moon at that time

zanzindorf

I plan on being there :thumbsup: I might send you a level from my new pack if you have time for it. Not sure yet.

I too will be playing Pokemon :D

Colorful Arty

Please do. I won't be playing custom levels this stream, I'll have a separate one for that in a few weeks, but I might play levels from other packs if I finish early.

Colorful Arty

Added a poll to see which pack people want to see more after Zemmings.

IchoTolot

A little help for Arty evaluating the "Nightmare!" levels.

There were quite a few ones that were always backrouted, which I would love some additional input on as the intended route needs to be "fun checked" ("not fun because too hard" I will ignore as this is not a argument for me :8():)

Also I tried remembering the ones which got additional praise.

Colorful Arty

I'm planning on streaming Crazy Taxi this week; either Wednesday or Friday, as those days are the most free for me. The stream also may have guest streamers, so try to be there! Please put your two cents in the poll.

Colorful Arty

Crazy Taxi Stream is on Friday 7PM EST. Please try to make it, it will be great fun.

Colorful Arty

Forgot to mention, since Crazy Taxi is rated T, the stream will be on my other channel. Link below:

oh yeah, the game's rated T because some pedestrians yell "dammit" when you almost run them over in way that totally sounds natural, just what you'd say when a taxi almost kills you :laugh:

Colorful Arty

Lemmings Custom Stream tonight at 7PM EST. May play some contest levels as well; we'll see. I will NOT be able to join a voice chat afterwards though.

Colorful Arty

I realize my streams are set at a time where many people have to stay up until 1AM to see them. Would people prefer me to stream earlier on Saturday, like 2 or 3PM EST?

Proxima

Not me -- then it would overlap with the Touhou Replay Showcase.

Flopsy

If you stream at that time Arty, I'll completely miss the streams. I work from 5pm until 1am GMT at the moment :XD:

Colorful Arty

Hey guys, stream tonight at 7PM EST. I'll be streaming the Christmas 2016 pack Crane compiled. Hope to see you then!

Colorful Arty

Stream is postponed until 8PM EST.

Crane

Well, I think we can consider that stream the open beta test for Holiday Lemmings '16. Thanks so much for streaming it Colorful Arty. I hope you enjoyed playing it as much as I did putting it together.

Colorful Arty

Happy 2017 everyone! I hope you all had an awesome holiday season!

I'm planning a stream on Friday at the usual 7PM EST. I'll be streaming the level of the year 2016 pack, so people can see the levels available and get an idea on if they will vote for it. Right now my voice is messed up because a sore throat I have, but hopefully it will be gone by the stream time. I hope to see you all there! :D

Flopsy

Awesome Arty, look forward to watching you play my level. Although I may have to miss the namida levels due to possible LPV spoilers.

Is there a custom level submission stream on the horizon as well?

Colorful Arty

I still have only received one or two levels for another custom stream.

Flopsy

Would you like another level from me then? The highland level you played from me last time seemed to take you a long while!

Should be at tonight's stream although I can't come on discord because Laptop is broke. I'll be able to watch the stream on my Wii U as long as it's on Youtube?

namida

Unfortunately I won't be able to make this stream. I might try and catch up on it later though, although I may have to skip most of it (apart from past contest levels, the Nepster levels I've already beaten, and my levels) to avoid spoiling myself.
My 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)
Non-Lemmings: Commander Keen: Galaxy Reimagined (a Commander Keen fangame)

CosmicLemming

Hopefully I don't forgeg this time! :thumbsup:

Colorful Arty

I added a poll for people to vote on upcoming streams.

Colorful Arty

I am planning on streaming custom lemmings levels tomorrow (Saturday the 14th) at 7pm EST. Flopsy has sent me a level, and Wafflem sent me a bunch out of the blue, so it's definitely time.

Flopsy

Should probably point out for anyone who doesn't know that it will be the same level I sent Arty last time (The Call of Kyusu) but I backroute fixed it so hopefully now it will be done the intended way.

Colorful Arty

Thanks to everyone who showed up to the stream!

I'm planning on streaming Splatoon next Saturday at the usual 7pm EST. Also, I just realized that if I play Garry's Mod Prop Hunt, I will NOT be streaming it, but just recording it like a Let's Play. Oops. :p

Colorful Arty

It's official, Splatoon stream tomorrow at 7pm EST! It's an awesome game, so I encourage everyone to watch it, even if you don't normally like shooter games (I didn't either until Splatoon).

Colorful Arty

I think I'm going to make Splatoon streams a regular thing, at least for a while. I won't leave a heads-up every time I'm going to play, but I can say they will likely start at around 6 or 7pm EST. I'm planning on streaming it again tomorrow, so try to make it! (This is not going to replace my lemmings streams, those will probably happen on Saturday while Splatoon will be on weekdays.)

Colorful Arty

Splatoon stream in an hour. Come if you can!

Colorful Arty

I'm going to stream something tomorrow (Saturday) at 7pm EST. Depending on my mood, it will either be a small Lemmings pack or a round of Civilization IV.

Colorful Arty

It's time for another Saturday Stream! This time, it will be Zemmings Vol. 2! Come at 7pm EST and join the fun!

zanzindorf

Yay! I hope you enjoy it. Version 3 is the newest revision, however, there's a known backroute on level 7. Unfortunately, I've got a thing at the same time, so I'll probably end up missing it :'( You don't happen to save past broadcasts do you?

Colorful Arty

If you can't make it zanzindorf, I'll do that stream another time. I like the level creators to be present when I stream their packs. ;)

I'll do another pack instead.

zanzindorf

My thing is a weekly thing, every Saturday at 7est. I'm free anytime before that, or 9est and after. Any time Friday or Sundays are also good for me.

Colorful Arty

Thanks for letting me know! I'll probably stream Zemmings this coming Wednesday at 6 or 7 then.

Arty: Enable saving past broadcasts. The option is dug within the twitch account settings. Twitch then saves broadcast for two weeks.

<IchoTolot> SimonMath: Arty streams on Youtube ;)
<IchoTolot> not twitch
<IchoTolot> it's atumatically uploaded on his channel afterwards
<SimonMath> IchoTolot: oh, okay. He linked to his twitch account in the first post

Colorful Arty

Planning on streaming Zemmings Thursday at 7pm EST.

Colorful Arty

I'm in a big streaming mood. Tomorrow at the usual 7pm EST, I'm streaming another round of Civilization IV. This time, I'll be going after a conquest victory, so there will be well over 100% more war than last time! :devil:

Colorful Arty

I added a poll to see what people want me to stream next.

namida

Lemmings Plus Omega II Demo. :P

Or LPO2 itself, if it's out by the time you do your next stream.

Well I have four levels I'd like you to play, I'll send them you sometime after this post

mobius

how about either Deceit Lemmings or Mobilems

or Antichamber!

I don't have Chip's Challenge or Antichamber. And are you referring to MobiLems on Lemmini, or MobiLems II for NeoLemmix?

mobius

You can play whichever you'd like, but MobiLems II for NEoLemmix is the more up-to-date version. It's basically mobilems 1 with some levels replaced.

Play some MegSEBytes :)
About that, I've Pm'd days ago

EDIT:800th post man I really the rating system was still there or something like that because i wouldn't mind seeing a a row lemmings depending on how post I have. But I digress

Colorful Arty

Well, since pretty much everyone wants a Lemmings pack, I'll be streaming one or more of those tonight at the usual 7pm EST. GigaLem sent me a pack he wants to play which is very short, so I'll definitely be doing that.  I will not be playing MegSEBytes, as that is part of SEB Lems which I will be Let's Playing when it comes out.

Colorful Arty

The stream may be delayed by fifteen minutes. My dinner is taking longer than expected. :P

Colorful Arty

Who's ready for one more stream before I go on spring break? :D

I'll be playing through the nin10demo lemmings pack. I've taken a look at it, and it looks quite promising. Stream starts at the usual 7pm EST. Hope to see you all there!

Colorful Arty

Hello everyone! Now that I'm back from spring break, I thought I would celebrate and stream again this Saturday at the usual 7pm EST. I'll be playing Undertale again, this time starting a pacifist run. I hope to see you guys there!

Colorful Arty

It's been a while, definitely time for another stream! I'll be speedrunning Mega Man: Rock Force again at 7pm EST. Even if you saw my first speedrun, I would encourage you to join in this stream; it will be a vastly different speedrun than before.

Sry that I have not made it to the stream, but I was waaay too tired that day :P     It's still 1 am for me.

Colorful Arty

Hello hello everyone! It's time for another Saturday stream at 7pm EST! We'll be continuing my Undertale Pacifist run. I hope to see you guys there!

Colorful Arty

In case no one saw my announcement video, from now on my stream announcements will be on Twitter.

But, since not everyone here has Twitter, I'll also try to post here too. Undertale stream tonight at 7pm. We may very well finish the Pacifist run. Be there or be square!

Colorful Arty

It's been a while since a Lemmings stream hasn't it? Definitely time for another. I'll be streaming some custom Wafflem levels tomorrow at 7pm EST! Come one, come all; Lemmings Streams are always a blast!

Flopsy

Hopefully it won't be long until your promised SEB Lems LP Arty. It's currently in pre-release testing :)

Colorful Arty

I'd say it's about time to finish up the Undertale Pacificst run wouldn't you say? Saturday at 7pm EST, BUT if people would like it earlier, we can make that happen. Just let me know.

Also, I'm going to try streaming on Twitch again instead of Youtube, as that seems to be most peoples' preferences. My twitch channel is at https://www.twitch.tv/colorfularty

Colorful Arty

I'll be streaming a speedrun of Mega Man: Rock Force on twitch Friday 18 at 1:00 EST. It will be an any% run, so expect a lot of Nitro Man and for the run to be under an hour. I hope to see people there!

Colorful Arty

It's been a long time since I streamed, but I want to stream my attempts at the revamped contest levels tomorrow (Tuesday) at 1:30pm EST. It's earlier in the day than usual, so hopefully more people can show up then. I hope to see you all there! :D

mobius

I will watch at work when I should be working. :P Maybe I'll hide in the bathroom :D

Colorful Arty

It's been a while since I've streamed, and I've really had a hankering to play Civilization IV again, so I'll be streaming that either later today or tomorrow at 7pm EST. Sorry for the short notice.

Colorful Arty

I'm in the streaming mood, and I have tomorrow (or I guess today now) off for Martin Luther King Jr. Day, so I'm planning a stream! This Monday at around 2pm EST. (This is essentially 13.7 hours from this post, so THIS Monday). I'm not sure what I'll stream, but if people have a preference between a Mega Man Rock Force Speedrun, Backyard Baseball, or Bird Story, please let me know.

Also, if this is a bad time to stream, I can move the time. I'm flexible tomorrow.

Yung Gotenks

Backyard Baseball please! i've heard of it, but never played it. I only have Backyard Football.
It's a real cd copy of it.

My Packs:
Yung's First Level Pack: A pack with 15 levels. Basic knowledge of the new NeoLemmix skills is required.

The Hell Pack: Every level is hell themed. Basic knowledge of the new NeoLemmix Skills is required.

Colorful Arty

Hey everyone! I want to stream the contest levels relatively soon, I'm thinking maybe this Saturday. I'll be using Youtube streaming because I'm SO sick of Twitch dropping my stream all the time.

I want to ask: how do people feel about me playing my own music for the contest levels? I dropped the idea and IRC and a few people weren't too happy with the idea, and I want to respect people's wishes. I understand people not wanting people to change the music they personally selected, but I see it as a way for me to enjoy the levels even more! Basically, let me know either via posting here or as a PM if it IS alright for me to change your music. I will assume by default no one wants me to change music. :)

Also, would anyone be interested in a stream of me just making Lemmings levels? I had the idea the other day and basically saw it as a way for me to get off of my lazy butt and start making some more ArtLems levels. Just let me know if this is an idea I should do.

I personally don't mind if you change the music in my contest levels. I really didn't spend as much time finding a track for them as others might have, so if you can find something better or more fitting then go for it :)

I love this idea! It would be an interesting change from watching others solve levels to watching others make levels, and besides I know for a fact that I'm not going to remember the solution if anything :P

I'll try to be there to watch. I want to see SOMEONE solve Arctic Oscillation!

You can already do that in my "creators playthrough" if you really want to know the solution ;)

Also for the stream I would like to see my own music being used for my levels. I want to hear impressions and feedback.

nin10doadict

As far as level creation streams go, I might be down for that. Maybe that would motivate me to get working on my tileset.

I'd be okay with that; anyone can listen to the originally chosen tracks but we don't even know your selection! It'd be nice to hear!

I'll try my best to be there on time for the stream!

That sounds really interesting! I don't think there have been too many level creation streams to date.

Colorful Arty

I will not be streaming today. I'll get back to you all later when I know when I have time.

Colorful Arty

I want to stream this week (I should have time) either on Friday or over the weekend. I added a poll so you can vote on what you want me to stream!

Colorful Arty

Alright, I plan on streaming on Sunday at 2:00pm EST (the usual Jackbox time). I will likely be streaming the contest levels despite getting fewer votes because the update phase ends in just a few days! I will stream me making levels soon afterwards hopefully!

Shrung

Hey Arty, just saw your YouTube channel...
Emphasis on family friendly content, nice! Doing Lemmings level design, awesome! Zoombinis?! I NEED to watch these videos :D

I'd love to tune in to you live some time, what's your twitch name? Also, random aside, have you ever played Captain Bible?

Colorful Arty

Hey Shrung! My twitch name is colorfularty but I try to stream on Youtube since it tends to drop connection less and automatically uploads my streams to Youtube.

I have not played Captain Bible, I'll have to look into that...

Colorful Arty

I've been off the forums for a while, and I'm in the mood to stream. This Saturday at (tentatively) 2pm EST I will finally be streaming me making some ArtLems levels, especially now that I have a lot of ideas.

I hope to catch up with you guys then!

Colorful Arty

So after talking with people, it seems 2:00 today is not the best time to stream and asked if I could push it back. Later today won't work well because I need to eat dinner with my family, and after that few people will be up. I'll push it back to Sunday at 2:00pm EST. Let me know if that does not work.

Colorful Arty

Due to the UCH game happening today, the stream is push back to 4pm EST (20:00 UTC). Depending on how long I stream/when dinner is, I may take an intermission in the middle of the stream.

Colorful Arty

I'll have the house to myself for a few days this week as well as a shorter work day on Friday, so I'm planning a stream on Friday at 4pm EST (20:00 UTC). Not sure what I'll stream, but I'm leaning toward some speedrunning practice for Megaman Rock Force. I've been meaning to try it again. I may also play Bird Story, an indie Steam game I've been meaning to play for a while now.

Colorful Arty

I was hoping to speedrun a new game this weekend, but it looks like that is not going to happen, because I cannot get the game to work properly. I'll try to stream next weekend or the one after that if possible.

Crane

I would dare ask if it's possible for you to stream your attempts at solving the contest #15 levels instead. Some good levels in this one, although Rule 1 is a bit daunting!

Colorful Arty

I absolutely will stream those levels eventually, but I'd like to wait more beforehand. This way, people get a chance to seal obvious backroutes and people get a chance to solve them on their own before watching someone else (potentially) solve them. :)

Crane

Good point! Well, so far, it seems my levels have been patched, despite one of them now being on version 13!

Colorful Arty

I'm planning on streaming the contest levels this Saturday at 2:00pm EST (18:00 UTC). There's no way I'll be able to solve them all in one stream, but hopefully I will have a part 2 stream a week afterwards. I'll be streaming on my Youtube channel.

Nessy

Hey Arty. Unfortunately I am not 100% sure if I can make the stream :( and if I do I might be a little late. Regardless please feel free to play my contest entry without me and feel free to change the music on it as well. I am honestly not very picky or strict about that personally :)

SQron188

Sounds great, I enjoyed the previous streams too! Hopefully I'll be able to be there to watch it.


Nessy's mentioned the BGM; I recall you changing the ambient/atmposheric track to my Contest #14 entry and I quite liked your choice. This time, however, I don't expect you to mind my selection judging by what you told me on IRC some time ago. I love sharing music with others, it's a topic very dear to me especially since next to nobody I know IRL has similar tastes.

Still, I see no reason to prevent anybody from enjoying a level if they'd like a different BGM to go along with it.

If you do make a change, please don't hesitate to tell me why on IRC/here in the thread/in a PM! I want any and all feedback!

Colorful Arty

Thanks for the heads up Nessy!

Don't worry SQRon; I will only change music if the level itself didn't have custom music attached. ;)

Colorful Arty

What a lackwit I am. I just remembered I'm not even going to be in town on Saturday, so the stream is getting pushed back to Sunday instead. Same time.

Nessy

If the stream is getting pushed back to Sunday I should be able to make it on time :thumbsup: Look forward to it.

Colorful Arty

This saturday, provided nothing else happens (like the next part of the Ocarina of Time Race), I'm planning on streaming just after lunch at 12:00pm EST (16:00 UTC). I'll be streaming the Link to the Past Randomizer. ;)

Colorful Arty

Never mind, I forgot Saturday evening is busy for me. The stream will now tentatively be Friday at around 3:00pm EST (19:00 UTC) instead. There will likely be an intermission so I can eat dinner.

mobius

Link to the Past Randomizer sounds super awesome!!!! I'll probably miss it though :( I have an awful lot (of awful things) going on atm.
I'd love watching that anytime.

Colorful Arty

This has been on my mind for a while now, and I want to get you guys' opinions, since you're my main viewerbase. I've been debating whether or not to focus less on Youtube videos and more on Twitch streaming. While I love making LPs (and I won't be stopping anytime soon, as I have many future LPs already planned/recorded), I also really like the community Twitch offers as well as the audience interaction. I also believe Twitch is much better for the future of online gaming, and thus more likely to draw new viewers.

What do people think about this? If I do start focusing more on Twitch, my Youtube uploads should not slow down, since most of my future LPs have already been made and just need to be edited/uploaded, and I'll start streaming around once a week at a consistent time (consistency helps the audience). Mainly, I've been considering trying to get good at the Link to the Past Randomizer or playing Roller Coaster Tycoon (if I can get it to work) or trying to seriously speedrun something.

Please let me know what your thoughts are about this. I really do want some feedback from you guys. ;)

Nessy

If you think that focusing more on Twitch is a good idea then I say go for it :thumbsup: It's not a bad idea considering the fact that the live streaming has the advantage of the interactive audience as you mentioned. This can be especially fun for certain games where you can have the audience actually participate in a way. I can definitely see potential in that :)

Ryemanni

I kinda prefer streamers myself, but my problem is that I can never catch them live (even if I want to). That's why I mainly watch stream recordings from youtube later.

QuoteThat's why I mainly watch stream recordings from youtube later.

Yeah, similar for me, and that takes away the whole point of the interaction with the audience. Well, of course you have interaction via the comments, but that's just like on any other YouTube video - the viewers can't give you hints on the levels, or comments about them.

It was really fun to watch Nessy stream PimoLems twice, but these are events people actively have to allocate time for. Doing this on a regular basis, on weekends or so, might become quite a bit more strenuous on people's schedules, both on yours as well as that of your viewers.
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

Colorful Arty

I'm taking my final vacation day of the year this Wednesday, and I'm planning on streaming that day at around 2pm EST (18:00 UTC). I'll be playing the OoT Randomizer, which I'm getting addicted to ever since playing with nin10doadict. I should have a way of recording it by then, and I've fixed many of the problems I faced during my first run.

Ramon

#122
Hello, has the stream begun yet? I planned on dropping in for a bit but the stream doesn't seem online.

EDIT: That's because I checked the YouTube page as per first post in the topic, didn't find any link to the twitch page but a quick Google search led me to the Twitter account which (in a comment) had the twitch link. Yay!

Colorful Arty

Nice catch Ramon. I modified the original post to include my Twitch account instead of my Youtube page. ;)

Colorful Arty

Hey everyone! I hope 2019 is treating everyone decently thus far! I want to stream more this year, and I'm going to start this Saturday at 2:00pm EST (18:00 UTC). I'll be finishing my Ocarina of Time Randomizer playthrough I started in December, and it should be great fun and an enjoyable watch. Join in if you want to hang out.

Also, I stream on Twitch now, not Youtube. I've come to accept Twitch is a much better platform. https://www.twitch.tv/colorfularty

nin10doadict

I'll probably pop in. Maybe we can finish the seed we started as well if time allows. :D

Colorful Arty

Actually, I can't get the seed we started to load anymore. :(

On top of that, it's possible that my folder there no longer exists since I started a stream seed in the same file slot, and I think the roms all share files. :/

nin10doadict

Darn. One of these days we'll get a seed that we actually finish together. ;P

I'll be streaming Fire Emblem 7 Randomizer this Friday at 4:00pm EST (20:00 UTC)! It's sure to be a great time, so join in if you want!

Colorful Arty

I added a poll. I want to hear what people want to see in the future.

Crane

I want to see you stream and suffer Contest 16!

Colorful Arty

I'm not planning on doing videos nor streams for this contest, since I'll be on vacation in a day or two. I know mobius and Nessy have both demonstrated an interest in doing them instead though.

Colorful Arty

I'm back from vacation and have the house to myself, so I'll be streaming tonight at 6:00pm EST (22:00 UTC). By popular votes, it seems people want more randomizers, so I'll be continuing the Fire Emblem randomizer run.

Colorful Arty

I'm going to stream tomorrow (2/2/2019) at 2:00pm EST (18:00 UTC). I'm taking a break from the randomizers, and am going to play Banjo-Kazooie on the N64. I'll be starting (hopefully) a quickish 100% run.

Colorful Arty

There are a lot of things I want to stream that I added to the poll. Let me know which you would like to see!

SQron188

I know I'm just the one guy, and that you stream HQ stuff and the fact that I've probably requested this of everyone and their dog by this point... but I wanna say this: it would be great for me if you lowered your stream's output quality / resolution. Otherwise, my connection just won't keep up. Or I could catch up after the stream; there would be less interaction from my side this way. I'm saying this because I enjoy your streams.
Cheers, mate

Colorful Arty

Thank you for your kind words SQron! It seems that unless you're a high profile Twitch streamer, people who watch your streams cannot select quality, and are stuck with whatever the streamer sets. I will lower my streaming quality to hopefully lower the buffer for everyone. :)

I hope that the technical issues go away and we can all focus on enjoying the games, commentary and interaction!

By popular opinion, Cuphead is the winner! I'll be streaming more of that today at 2pm EST (18:00 UTC). We have a Bird to kill...

Colorful Arty

Planning on streaming this weekend. Right now, I'm thinking of streaming More Cuphead on Friday at 3:00pm EST (19:00 UTC). On Saturday at 1:00pm EST (17:00 UTC), I'll be streaming Lemmings United. I will not be streaming the whole pack due to the I'm sure insane difficulty later on, but the early levels should be doable.

So I can't keep track of the conversions between EST and UTC apparently with daylight savings and all. The Lemmings United stream is still at 18:00 UTC and 1pm EST (13:00 EST). I forgot daylight savings screws everything up. >:(

Colorful Arty

Sort of short notice, but I'm going to stream more Fire Emblem 7 Randomizer today at 2pm EST. Join me for horribly broken growth rates and fun times!

Colorful Arty

I feel like streaming tomorrow, so Wednesday at 7pm EST (much later than usual I know) I will be doing a SHORT Cuphead stream. My only goal will be to beat Hilda Berg, and I now know I can do it. If I finish her quickly, I'll attempt to S rank Wally as well.

Colorful Arty

I'll have the house to myself tomorrow, so I'll be streaming Cuphead at 6:30pm EST. If I'm lucky, I may be able to get the last 3 S ranks! Unless Dr. Kahl takes even longer than expected...

Colorful Arty

I'm going to stream today at 1pm EST! If you're a fan of Donkey Kong and N64 games, you should tune in! It's sure to be a barrel of fun!

Colorful Arty

Going to be streaming some more DK64 today at 1pm EST. Taking on Gloomy Galleon, and perhaps Fungi Forest as well.

Crane

Will you be doing the competition levels again? I wanna hear you rage!

Colorful Arty

I will likely record or stream the contest levels, especially since I picked the rules. ;)

SQron188

Oh, that's nice! I like the contest streams, they're like a get-together around something each of us has put effort into, and with a nice company to boot.
I'm guessing you'll stream near the end of the playing session as usual?
Whatever the date, I hope to be there

Colorful Arty

It depends on whether I record the levels, or stream them. If I stream them, then I do like to do it toward the end of the playing phase so make sure people have time to solve them on their own before watching me; I don't want to spoil anything. ;)

Colorful Arty

Hey everyone! I'm planning on streaming the contest levels tomorrow 6/1/2019 at 1pm EST! I'll try to complete as many levels as I can, and I'll try not to play levels until the creator can watch, but if you can't make it no worries; I'll make sure the vod goes up on Youtube eventually.

Colorful Arty

I added a poll asking people what I should stream next.

Flopsy

Please can the second place finisher in the poll be given consideration for future streams also?

Colorful Arty

Heck yeah. All of these options are ones I want to stream at some point; it's really just a matter of what people are interested in right now. ;)

Colorful Arty

I'm going to stream Paper Mario today at 2:00pm EST (3 hours 20 minutes from the time of this posting). Looks like it's going to be a Paper Mario stream; I am very happy/excited about this! :D

Colorful Arty

I'm going to stream today at 1pm EST (3.5 hours from now). Probably DK64 because I want to finish that. It should be great fun!

Colorful Arty

I've got the house to myself this weekend, so I'm planning two streams!

Friday at 7pm EST, I'll be streaming Crazy Taxi (since I only got to play for like 3 minutes last time I tried).

Saturday at 1pm EST, I'll be streaming more Paper Mario level zero run! Hope to see people there! :D

Colorful Arty

I've been thinking of doing a long stream in the future (potentially all-day). I added a poll to see what people would like to see me stream.

Colorful Arty

My internet has finally returned, so I'm going to stream again! This Wednesday (tomorrow) I'll be finishing up the Paper Mario Level Zero run! I'll start streaming at 7:00pm EST!

Colorful Arty

I think I'm going to play some single-player OoT Randomizer tonight at around 6:30 EST. I'm in the mood to play, and I love the setup I have now. Sorry for the short notice, but I hope a few people can join in. :)

Colorful Arty

This week I'll be streaming the contest levels! I'm going to do two streams: one on Wednesday, and one on Friday, both starting at 7pm EST! I hope to see you all there! I won't play levels unless the level's creator is present in the stream (unless I have permission from the creator to play it without them being present)

Colorful Arty

Hey guys! Now that I'm back from vacation, I want to stream today! At 2pm EST, I'll be streaming more Super Mario Advance! Let's see if I can finish the game today. :)

Strato Incendus

Hi Arty,

In case you indeed finish the game, are looking for a "new" one afterwards, and should you decide to pick up Lemmings World Tour again, I just wanted to let you know that it's now available in both Old and New Formats ;) .

Some remarks on this...
In general, I'd always advertise the Old-Formats version, because it includes the levels as intended, but in your case, I think you're already past all the major noteworthy radiation- and slowfreeze levels (like "Ayo Technology", "Japan", and "Only time"). After a quick look, there should only be a single one remaining on the Legend rank ("Blowing in the wind"), and two on the Groupie rank ("All you zombies" and "Hiroshima"). Meanwhile, the New-Formats version doesn't crash due to graphic-set mixing, which is a huge mark in its favour, considering overall game stability.

So maybe, whenever you decide to continue LWT, it's best to do so in New Formats, and then only switch back to Old Formats for these three select levels? ;) Or playing them in New Formats first, just like any other level, and then showing the Old-Formats version for comparision.

Of course, continuing in the Old-Formats version would also be perfectly fine, since I'll continue to maintain both versions; any backroute fixes will be done in Old Formats first, and the level will then be re-converted to New Formats by opening it in the new editor. ;) And you actually haven't had nearly as many graphic-set-based crashes as I would have expected, so the Old-Formats version still seems to be quite stable on your computer as well.

Just to clarify, I'm not in any way saying that this is what you should do next! :P :8:()[:  I just wanted you and your audience to be informed about these things, for whenever you feel like proceeding with the pack. :laugh:

Since this information might also be interesting to other players and viewers, I'm putting it here publically (in the spoiler above), rather than just informing you via PM ;) . I remember you contemplating a while ago whether you would prefer to do the rest of the pack in the context of a stream one day, or rather continue with the 5-levels-per-episode format.
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

Colorful Arty

I will indeed be finishing Lemmings World Tour Strato, make no mistake about that! ;)

I can't say when I will be uploading more videos of it, but suffice it to say it won't be until my current LP is done, and I'll likely do one or two other short LPs afterward before doing World Tour again. I intend to continue doing it in the old formats, both for consistency's sake, and because it is the intended way to play. (Having made Sublems for SuperLemmini and NeoLemmix old formats, I personally like the SuperLemmini levels better, so it's a similar situation :) )

Strato Incendus

Sure, take your time with it! ;) That will also give the more advanced users, like IchoTolot, who haven't been paying much attention to LWT while it was only available in Old-Formats (understandably so), more time to discover backroutes, so that we're going to see a greater share of fixed levels on camera.

Ah, yeah, right, for SubLems there were even some levels which didn't work in NeoLemmix, because they relied on certain "quirky behaviour" in SuperLemmini, as you called it. ;)

It would still be great to have a version of SubLems available for new beginners who start out in New Formats, even though that might require sacrificing some further levels. I doubt it, though, since I don't recall any radiation or slowfreeze objects in the NeoLemmix version of SubLems. And how should they be there, if those objects were never available in SubLems in the first place?

So while you may have lost quite a few levels transitioning from SuperLemmini to Old-Formats NeoLemmix, I doubt you would even lose anything by converting SubLems to New-Formats. And since it's the pack with the best difficulty curve I've observed so far, it's probably also one of the most motivating ones for beginners! ;)

Colorful Arty

I am in the process of porting SubLems to new formats, but I want to add new levels, plus a few levels that need replacement. This takes time, but it will get done eventually. ;)

Colorful Arty

It's been a while since I've streamed, and since I have the day open, I'm going to stream today at 2pm EST! I think I'm going to stream myself creating Lemmings levels, so if that's something that interests you, I hope you join in! :thumbsup:

I used to stream on Youtube, but now I do it on Twitch and upload the VODs to Youtube later. My channel is here: https://www.twitch.tv/colorfularty

Colorful Arty

It's been a long time since I've streamed anything (at least a few months), so I'm going to stream an OOT randomizer seed today at 2pm EST. Hope to see a few of you there!

Colorful Arty

Hi folks. I think I'm going to try the Fire Emblem 7 Randomizer again tonight at 7pm EST (1.5 hours from now). Hope to see you there!

Colorful Arty

I think I'm going to stream more FE7 randomizer tomorrow at 1pm EST. Hope to see a few of you there!

Colorful Arty

More FE7 Randomizer today at 1pm EST! We're getting into the trickier chapters now.

Colorful Arty

Another FE7 Stream is happening today at the usual 1pm EST. Let's really hope we can get the Linus chapter; I need that Ocean Seal!

Colorful Arty

People may be stuck at home due to the coronavirus outbreak, but that doesn't mean we can't have fun! Hoping to finish up the FE7 randomizer tonight at 7pm EST. Please come by and have some fun, or just talk if you don't care for the game. ;)

Colorful Arty

Tomorrow, I've decided to do a marathon stream of the first 6 Mega Man games! This is something I've wanted to do for months now, and with the quarantine it's the perfect opportunity! I'll be starting tomorrow morning at 10:00am EST with Mega Man 1 and work my way up. I'll take a lunch break and (potentially) a dinner break in the middle, I don't really know how long it will take to beat all 6 of these. I hope to some you pop in, even for a bit! It's going to be tons of fun! :D

Colorful Arty

I'm doing something a little different tonight than what I normally do. My sister recommended a visual novel called CLANNAD to me, and I got it on sale on Steam this last week, so I'm going to give it a try! Join me tonight at 7pm EST on Twitch for a blind playthrough of this game.

Colorful Arty

I had so much fun playing CLANNAD last week, I've decided to make it a weekly thing. Starting this week, every Saturday at 1pm EST, I will stream CLANNAD on Twitch. I had such a blast playing it, and felt like it was much more entertaining than my usual streams. Also, this story is apparently really long, so I'll need to stream frequently to beat it in a decent time.

Colorful Arty

Unexpected Lemmings stream tonight at 7pm EST. I'm going to see if I can finish porting SubLems to the new formats.
