Ah yes, PimoreLems!

[Pieuw]

Hey folks,

As I revisited PimoLems lately I thought it really needed a rework. My standards may have increased since I made it back in 2013 and a lot of the levels from this pack seemed dull to me. Especially from the first rank! So I started to remake a few of them. I'm not sure where I'm going with this but I'm having fun so far

I also keep making new levels here and there, which may be included into the pack if there's enough of them. 30-levels ranks would be great, right?

Progress

Calm 16/20
Windy 1/20
Stormy 0/20
Hurricane 0/20

Not taking special ranks into account for now.

Screenshots
Here are a few images to show what I want to improve in the levels and why. The original level is shown before the updated version.

Calm 02 - Training Day



Some changes will only be about the overall look of the level. Here the solution remains exactly the same but I think the layout is more interesting while keeping the original feel of the level.

Calm 03 - We Are Lem-Bob-Omb!



Other levels will be significantly edited. Calm 03 is all about bombers and the original level is a bit dull: you just have to bomb down and you're done. In the remade version I built a layout with various obstacles. There are ways to save more lemmings if you're being careful.

To summarize: I want to make better looking and less straightfoward levels for the Calm rating. I also added a talisman in each level I worked on so far - except for the very first level and if you played PimoLems I think you understand why
This will get different for later levels as they're mostly puzzles and their layout is often part of the puzzle, so the edits will probably be lesser.

Here are also a few new levels just for the sake of showcasing a bit:


Compendium of the Occult


Palace Plumbing Predicament


Updates will be made as I go, though my progress is notoriously inconsistent

  looking awesome so far!

Blow me away, I wish I can make levels like this with the original sets. I struggle to make stuff look good when using the original stuff.

PimoLems was already ahead of its time, but this one is even more stunning

Thank you everyone, will try to make it a worthy successor

By the way the title of the topic is just something that came to mind while I was writing, but it may be a bit cheesy for an actual pack name. I will need to think about it!

Hey everyone, just a quick update

I'm still working on this, slowly, as inspiration comes and goes. The Calm rank is nearly done. Sixteen levels out of twenty are in their final state now, two others are in progress and I still have to think about the two last levels of the rank.
The most difficult will be Iron Industry for sure, as I have absolutely no idea what to do with it. I may keep the title and change everything else

Many levels have been heavily edited and improved and I can't wait to share them! I think I will upload the Calm rank here once it's completed so I can get feedback and replays from people that are up to do some testing. Waiting for the whole pack to be finished before releasing it would probably mean waiting for years, decades even, which is depressing.

See you around!
