[NeoLemmix] Lemmings Migration

[Nessy]

Small Update:

- The mysterious bug with the skill panel where "5" would display instead of "6" has been finally fixed.

- The solution to "The Abandoned Sanctuary" has been changed back to its original solution. It is now far too easy to be in the final rank, but the old solution is more elegant and that is more important to me. I am planning on reordering the levels based off of the additional feedback received anyway.

It starts in one hour

Hats off. I'm not a pro but IMHO you are a brilliant (but also very nasty ) level designer. I love your work. I'm midway through the Headache levels and they give me headache for real. They make original Lemmings Mayhem levels look like a cakewalk.

The only one I'm not so excited about is your idea to reordering the levels. I guess this would make it really hard to further assign the (subsequently older) v2 replay files. And I fairly need them (at least to counter-check my solution).

BTW: What do you think about my solutions for Irritation 6 and Headache 4? Like it? Acceptable or backroutes?

[Nessy]

Hi eddiecochran, welcome to the forums!

Thanks for playing my levels and I'm glad you enjoyed them

Don't worry about the reordering. I'm happy with where this level pack is, so even though the difficulty curve is still wacky I'm happy with the pack overall and that's more important for me. To be honest there are some levels that no longer meet my approval so I'm planning on taking the best and adding them in a separate pack with lots of new levels and leave this one as is.

As for your replays...

Irritation 6 "Path To The Underground": This solution is perfectly acceptable, but the way you used the digger was unintentional and more complex than it had to be. You had the right idea though -> digger in that area to make more room for a builder to gain enough height to bash to the exit.

Headache 4 "Pseudoscience": Another perfectly acceptable solution. The way you compressed the group on the left was more complex than necessary as you could have used the blocker, but still a good solution. Nice work!

P.S.: Since your new here is a link to many more fan-made packs -> Lemmings & Lix Fangame List

Ah, a best-of pack? Thought about doing that as well . I just wasn't sure whether that would be considered "selling old wine in new bottles".

But with Lemmings Redux having just been released, I guess it makes sense for creators of several packs to do a "redux" of their own stuff, adding all the best puzzles together. Having done only two packs so far, it's a little early for me to go there. But I have two further projects in planning, and once both of them are finished, bringing the total number of packs up to four, why not?

I'll have to take a look at Migration again; I got stuck on "An incident in the mine", which, as Flopsy's LP has shown me now, was down to a too skill-costly method of crowd control. With that one out of the way, let's see how far I get!

Feel free to put levels from your released packs into your newer packs.

Please don't think you have to put entirely new levels in each pack.

Mobilems II was an update to the first Mobilems pack according to Mobius.

Glad to see my videos of the Migration pack are helping others in solving the levels

Thx for the link - I saw that already. Phew! So many levels to solve, so little time. Think I had to delay most of them to my retirement.

[IchoTolot]

Just was resolving single levels that were stuck in my head for LOTY 2017 and I found one glaring backroute for Migrane 03 and I would like to get information about if my solution to Migrane 09 is intended.

[Nessy]

Hi IchoTolot! Sorry for yet another delay in getting back to you

Migraine 3 is a backroute, but I already have the fixed version on my computer that hasn't been added to the main pack yet. I attached it below. The same intended solution is present; only the styling is different in places to avoid some precision and backroutes without using a lot of steel (it might also be slightly easier now, but that's fine. Quality is more important to me as I can always move it down a rank).

Migraine 9 is one of the intended solutions, but is now the only intended solution because I don't like the other one anymore.

Up next... converting this pack to work on new formats

[Nessy]

A new format version of this pack (for NeoLemmix 12.0.1) is now available!

Overall conversation wasn't too bad:
- Mineshaft levels that required using a fake exit object for decoration now just use regular terrain.
- Only two levels in the first rank needed a terrain ceiling to compensate the new deadly ceiling behavior.

All levels have been tested and successful completed. Any thoughts or concerns please let me know
