Holiday Lemmings 2024

Mobiethian · December 01, 2024, 09:20:06 PM

Let's go! Holiday Lemmings 2024 is finally here! A 30 year anniversary NeoLemmix level pack in celebration of Holiday Lemmings 1994. This is a level pack that has been in development since summertime! Featuring 50 exciting, brand new levels, 25 of them per rank. The two ranks are: Night and Daytime. Meaning that Night is before Christmas (Christmas Eve) and Daytime is Christmas Day, and it goes on through until nighttime appears again with a boom! Actually, the ranks are interchangeable. They can be done in 'any' order of your choosing. The difficulty ranges! Be prepared for a roller-coaster ride! The level pack has been developed as a collaboration project by myself and Armani with the assistance of some wonderful people, credited below. It was an excellent experience!

I'd like to thank the following helpers for lending their time to pre-test the level pack and/or providing ideas, as well as assisting us while development was ongoing: kaywhyn, kevinmichael, Ritty, and Deedlebug. Most importantly, thank you for playing! It's hard to believe that when this level pack began, I was sitting in the air conditioning trying to cool down from the extreme heat. Now there is snow on the ground - just in time for release!

Suggestion, maybe give players a choice to download the DOS sounds separately rather than bundle it into the download.
I've just had to restore all of my sounds to the default sounds as well as my custom success and failure jingles after the download overwritten all of the sound files with the DOS sounds and default NL sounds.

Eeeek!

Oh, Flopsy, I am terribly sorry.

See, what it is.. I prefer the DOS sounds, because that's what I've grown up with, DOS, and stuck with through my Lemmings journey. I certainly hope that you didn't have an entirely difficult time restoring everything. Shall I update the download then? Minus the "sounds" folder?

In all honesty, I didn't know it would do that. Sorry again, my bad.

I went ahead and updated it anyway without the sounds. Thanks for the suggestion! I wasn't aware of that issue.

I had gotten a report today from a new player that he couldn't get through a lot of the levels in the pack. Including levels that I have made, strangely.

So now I'd like to leave it up to the community to help us arrange a new level order, from easiest to toughest.

This would allow new players to at least complete a handful of levels and perhaps learn how to do the tougher ones that way. And this would create some community involvement. Feedback?

Christmas is just a week away! (as of today in my part of the world) And we hope that you're enjoying the level pack! There hasn't been any feedback lately, which is okay. So I am guessing that things are going smoothly, there haven't been anymore issues reported as well, which makes us happy.

And happy for you also!

If anyone can review the level pack in the near future, that would be totally appreciated! Even something short is good. I am also wanting to know if there are any ways to improve the level pack for all players.

kaywhyn is going to do an LP session on this eventually, but I can provide replays of levels by Armani if you're having trouble with solving any of them.

Everything being said, have a nice Christmas, folks!

Just noticing here:

I think by accident you also put Lemmings_Redux and the NeoLemmix_Introduction pack in your Download.
Also the music folder seems to have quite a few tracks from the standard music rotation which the download also does not need.

I appreciate the information and I have taken care of it now. Always appreciated, otherwise I wouldn't have known this at all.
