Hi there, I'm Kieran. The Kieran, of "Quest For Kieran" fame.

Have not played Lemmings in many many years, and I plan to come back to it and try my hand at making some levels at some point as Proxima occasionally talks about Lemmings in DROD chat, but before then I just have a few things I'm helping Proxima with in DROD that I need to finish off. Too many projects, not enough time.

Thought I'd pop in and say hi, I signed up to make a post about some other game so felt it would be for the best to actually introduce myself. Had planned to come here and check out the modern world of Lemmings at some point, so why not say hi now?

Hi hi, welcome! Your story has become lore. :D Proxima very active both here and in the DROD community. Small world.

Modern Lemmings has drifted even more to puzzle solving, away from dexterity. NeoLemmix and Lix are the most popular engines. They run at normal speed, but offer interruptible replays and frame-by-frame rewind to fix mistakes. The engines are in active development.

Side interests: There is vanilla Lemmix for the few user levels that rely on very specific DOS physics details. Lemmini and SuperLemmini don't offer framestepping, but have level packs too; some of the Lemmini packs, e.g. PimoLems by Pieuw, already have a NeoLemmix port. Lix has a networked multiplayer mode.

Hi and welcome! Simon is correct, and there are many levels that are rather difficult to figure out, much more so than anything the original games had. Be ready for some brain busters.

This sounds super cool, will have to give these a try at some point. Thanks!
