I'd like to investigate:

• Air clicking still cuts the global future.
• Assigning still cuts the future of that lix.
• When you hover over a lix without future assignments, still say "Click to insert."
• When you hover over a lix with 7 future assignments, say "Click to replace 7 future assignments."
• You still need the tweaker to cut a single lix's future without assigning anything to her. This is a problem, but the scissors panel button wasn't the answer to it in 2023.
• Opening/closing the tweaker doesn't toggle the mode, unlike Lix 0.10.32, because there will be only a single mode.

I want better visibility/previewability of what your click will do, i.e., from things such as list item #4. Wisdom will be found in better visibility of system status, not in modes.

I don't know whether I should keep two modes or if it's possible to condense cut mode and insert mode into one.

The ideas come from NL: Erase future of same lemming in insert mode.

I'll have to user-test with newbies when all is said and done. It's possible that a single global timeline is easier to understand than many interwoven timelines ... even though I find the single global timeline unnatural. Wonder how newbies will react to either philosophy.

This is still open.

Watching replays is different from rewinding to fix mistakes. You rarely want to interrupt. But you should still be able to interrupt.

Task: Design 1)+2) Yes in a way that prevents my above post's worry of 50-lemming lottery.

Idea: In insert mode, whenever you hover over a lemming, show the number of future assignments that will be cut if we click. You'll know it even in a dense pack, and even without looking at any replay listing. I'll see when I find the time to implement this in Lix.

This pack has now been fully converted to .rlv and is ready for RetroLemmini 2.8 or later.

Enjoy!

Congrats on the release, @The Tomato Watcher, and thanks very much for letting me playtest the majority of the pack - it was a lot of fun!

I'm not gonna provide more feedback now as I've already shared a lot with you as the pack was being developed, but just to say that overall, this is a worthy follow-up to Sweet 'N' Sour Lemmings and I look forward to more from you in future! Great job!

You've also seen most of my replays before, so I'll just attach those for the new levels and a few that you've obviously tweaked a bit since I last played them (ten in total) for your entertainment.

Perfecta!

How's this?

IconHotkeys is excellent, I wonder if we could rotate it slightly more to the left? If you need to make it wider to allow for this, that's fine (width is generally a bit more flexible than height (which needs to be around 32px max)).

You definitely have the right idea for IconPlayers, but I was thinking more along the lines of the classic Clue / Cluedo tokens, like this:

Cluedo Tokens

Keep going with these, they look fantastic in context.

Yay! Good to hear.
