Arty's streams

Hi Arty,

In case you indeed finish the game, are looking for a "new" one afterwards, and should you decide to pick up Lemmings World Tour again, I just wanted to let you know that it's now available in both Old and New Formats

.

Some remarks on this...

In general, I'd always advertise the Old-Formats version, because it includes the levels as intended, but in your case, I think you're already past all the major noteworthy radiation- and slowfreeze levels (like "Ayo Technology", "Japan", and "Only time"). After a quick look, there should only be a single one remaining on the Legend rank ("Blowing in the wind"), and two on the Groupie rank ("All you zombies" and "Hiroshima"). Meanwhile, the New-Formats version doesn't crash due to graphic-set mixing, which is a huge mark in its favour, considering overall game stability.

So maybe, whenever you decide to continue LWT, it's best to do so in New Formats, and then only switch back to Old Formats for these three select levels?

Or playing them in New Formats first, just like any other level, and then showing the Old-Formats version for comparision.

Of course, continuing in the Old-Formats version would also be perfectly fine, since I'll continue to maintain both versions; any backroute fixes will be done in Old Formats first, and the level will then be re-converted to New Formats by opening it in the new editor.

And you actually haven't had nearly as many graphic-set-based crashes as I would have expected, so the Old-Formats version still seems to be quite stable on your computer as well.

Just to clarify, I'm not in any way saying that this is what you should do next!

I just wanted you and your audience to be informed about these things, for whenever you feel like proceeding with the pack.

Since this information might also be interesting to other players and viewers, I'm putting it here publically (in the spoiler above), rather than just informing you via PM

. I remember you contemplating a while ago whether you would prefer to do the rest of the pack in the context of a stream one day, or rather continue with the 5-levels-per-episode format.

I will indeed be finishing Lemmings World Tour Strato, make no mistake about that!

I can't say when I will be uploading more videos of it, but suffice it to say it won't be until my current LP is done, and I'll likely do one or two other short LPs afterward before doing World Tour again. I intend to continue doing it in the old formats, both for consistency's sake, and because it is the intended way to play. (Having made Sublems for SuperLemmini and NeoLemmix old formats, I personally like the SuperLemmini levels better, so it's a similar situation

)

Sure, take your time with it!

That will also give the more advanced users, like IchoTolot, who haven't been paying much attention to LWT while it was only available in Old-Formats (understandably so), more time to discover backroutes, so that we're going to see a greater share of fixed levels on camera.

Ah, yeah, right, for SubLems there were even some levels which didn't work in NeoLemmix, because they relied on certain "quirky behaviour" in SuperLemmini, as you called it.

It would still be great to have a version of SubLems available for new beginners who start out in New Formats, even though that might require sacrificing some further levels. I doubt it, though, since I don't recall any radiation or slowfreeze objects in the NeoLemmix version of SubLems. And how should they be there, if those objects were never available in SubLems in the first place?

So while you may have lost quite a few levels transitioning from SuperLemmini to Old-Formats NeoLemmix, I doubt you would even lose anything by converting SubLems to New-Formats. And since it's the pack with the best difficulty curve I've observed so far, it's probably also one of the most motivating ones for beginners!

I am in the process of porting SubLems to new formats, but I want to add new levels, plus a few levels that need replacement. This takes time, but it will get done eventually.

It's been a while since I've streamed, and since I have the day open, I'm going to stream today at 2pm EST! I think I'm going to stream myself creating Lemmings levels, so if that's something that interests you, I hope you join in!

Is this on YouTube? I'd like to give it a watch since I missed the live event.

I used to stream on Youtube, but now I do it on Twitch and upload the VODs to Youtube later. My channel is here: https://www.twitch.tv/colorfularty

It's been a long time since I've streamed anything (at least a few months), so I'm going to stream an OOT randomizer seed today at 2pm EST. Hope to see a few of you there!

Colorful Arty · January 10, 2020, 10:32:15 PM

Hi folks. I think I'm going to try the Fire Emblem 7 Randomizer again tonight at 7pm EST (1.5 hours from now). Hope to see you there!

Colorful Arty · January 18, 2020, 02:36:23 AM

I think I'm going to stream more FE7 randomizer tomorrow at 1pm EST. Hope to see a few of you there!

Colorful Arty · February 01, 2020, 02:03:21 PM

More FE7 Randomizer today at 1pm EST! We're getting into the trickier chapters now.

Colorful Arty · February 08, 2020, 01:11:02 PM

Another FE7 Stream is happening today at the usual 1pm EST. Let's really hope we can get the Linus chapter; I need that Ocean Seal!

Colorful Arty · March 13, 2020, 05:00:40 PM

People may be stuck at home due to the coronavirus outbreak, but that doesn't mean we can't have fun! Hoping to finish up the FE7 randomizer tonight at 7pm EST. Please come by and have some fun, or just talk if you don't care for the game.

Tomorrow, I've decided to do a marathon stream of the first 6 Mega Man games! This is something I've wanted to do for months now, and with the quarantine it's the perfect opportunity! I'll be starting tomorrow morning at 10:00am EST with Mega Man 1 and work my way up. I'll take a lunch break and (potentially) a dinner break in the middle, I don't really know how long it will take to beat all 6 of these. I hope to some you pop in, even for a bit! It's going to be tons of fun!

Colorful Arty · May 08, 2020, 02:36:38 PM

I'm doing something a little different tonight than what I normally do. My sister recommended a visual novel called CLANNAD to me, and I got it on sale on Steam this last week, so I'm going to give it a try! Join me tonight at 7pm EST on Twitch for a blind playthrough of this game.
