Just to let you guys know, I haven't forgotten about this project. In fact, I think it's nearly ready for a release, so it should be out sometime this month.

Since this is kind of a major fork, should the game still be simply called "Lemmini," or should a subtitle be added?

Hi Tsyu

As always it sounds like you are doing a good job.

I would probably add a subtitle so it gives us an indication of how far the program has come as it sounds like there has been a major fork as you put it. Also it makes it easier to identity instead of just putting in a different version.

I guess that's only my opinion, what does everyone else think? 

I look forward to giving it a go in the future.  http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/thumbsup.gif" alt=":thumbsup:" title="Thumbs Up" class="smiley" />

Lemmini 2.0 or something to that nature would probably be a good idea.  http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/smiley.gif" alt=":)" title="Smiley" class="smiley" />

"Lemmini 2.0" doesn't sound like a good name since "2.0" can easily be confused for the version number (the version numbers for my release will start at 0.90 if there's no objection).

I've been thinking of calling it "Lemmini: Revived," referring to the development being "revived." However, I know that the Lemmini community hasn't died yet, so maybe this title isn't a good one.

But that will get abbreviated as "L++," which could cause confusion.

Lemmini++ maybe?
That might work, although NaOH does have a good point against it:

Lemminae?
Is that the plural form of lemmini? In any case, I think "Lemmini" should still be part of the title since this isn't a completely new clone.


SuperLemmini?
Sounds good to me. I'll consider it.

What is "LF" supposed to stand for? If it stands for "Lemmings Forums," then I don't think it's a good name; I'd rather not name it after a forum site.

Lemmega hehe
See my point above regarding "Lemminae."


What about (Lemmini Revisited)
"Revisited" doesn't sound good to me since we're not really "revisiting" anything.

Oh No! More Lemmini
This may work, as long as people don't abbreviate it "ONML" (which they likely will).

No. Lemmini is already plural in form (although the singular doesn't actually exist, since lemmings presumably weren't known to the Romans). Lemminae is the feminine plural.
