The below post is older information. At this time,
no new suggestions whatsoever are being accepted.
As part of the goal of wrapping NeoLemmix up, I'm going to set cutoff dates for new suggestions.
To avoid any doubt, this relates solely to the player, not the editor!tldr:
No new physics suggestions (except relating to the new skills / objects). This rule is already in effect (as of the time this topic was created).
No new UI suggestions, unless they're connected to features introduced in 12.11.0 or later. This rule is already in effect (as of 1st July 2021).
No new suggestions at all, unless they're connected to features introduced in the newest stable version at the time. This rule is already in effect (as of 1st October 2021).
Existing suggestions of all kinds, remain open even beyond these cutoff dates, until they are either implemented or rejected. It is only a stop on
new suggestions being made.
Bugs may (and should) continue to be reported until further notice.
The first stage of this came into effect immediately when this topic was posted. No new topics proposing new physics features, or alterations to existing ones, will be given consideration. Existing topics are exempt from this, and the discussions going on in them may continue.
There will be two exceptions to this:
- Topics relating to any potential new object type
that gets declared a strong contender, may continue to be created.
- Bugs may still be raised
until further notice. This is about new ideas, not about problems with existing ones.
Note: If you have a topic to create that's very on-the-edge as to whether it's acceptable or not, create it. Unless someone is spamming the board with obviously-not-relevant ideas, the worst that will happen is that the topic catches the express train to the Closed board.
The second stage came into effect as of the 1st of July. No new topics proposing new UI features, or alterations to existing ones, will be considered. Existing topics are exempt from this, and the discussions going on in them may continue.
There will be two exceptions to this:
- Topics may be made for new UI suggestions, if the suggestion is related to a feature that was introduced in V12.11.X or higher.
- Bugs may still be raised
until further notice. This is about new ideas, not about problems with existing ones.
The third stage came into effect as of the 1st of October. From this date, no new topics proposing new UI features, or alterations to existing ones, will be considered, unless they're related to features introduced in the newest stable version at the time. Existing topics are exempt from this, and the discussions going on in them may continue. Bugs may still be reported for both physics and UI.
The fourth stage will come into effect two weeks after V12.13.0 goes stable. At this point, no new suggestions will be accepted whatsoever.
And to be very clear on all of the above: If you need an entire paragraph and/or words like "technically" in order to explain how a suggestion qualifies as "related to a feature in the latest stable release", it probably doesn't.
A similar plan also exists for phasing out the acceptance of bug reports; there is
a seperate topic detailing this.
