The Lemmings Remake Topic

[EricLang]

section 1: Lame
section 2: ......
section 3: ......
section 4: Cunning?
section 5: Training?
section 6: Stunning?

@KSoft: we could sections 5/6 only for the Lemmix version and keep the original order for the first 4 sections. Then it's 486-compatible.

Edit: Mindless thanks!
We can upload levels here and maybe some "master" textfile which describes the order of the contents?

section 1: Lame
section 2: ......
section 3: ......
section 4: Cunning?
section 5: Training?
section 6: Stunning?

I don't know about everyone else, but can we please not let Eric come up with the rating names for the remake?̆ :tongue:

[Shvegait]

He already said he didn't want to. Just post your ideas, ccexplore!

[EricLang]

Ok I quit

[geoo]

English is not my native language so the sectionnames should be made other people than me.
So here some idea:

section 1: Lame
section 2: ......
section 3: ......
section 4: ......
section 5: maybe training levels for "glitches" to help solve section 6
section 6: levels of Tseug or ccexplore or Geo difficulty

Incidentally, I came up with the same idea (4 normal + 1 glitches training + 1 glitches) some time ago. Quite like it, obviously, as there's some 'advanced topic' after having solved the 'normal' levels.

As for names for stages, it's very difficult, at least for me, to come up with some. I'd be fine with anything therefore, I suppose.

Same here, and english is my native lanuage. I don't care what they end up as.

My attempt:
Section 1: Lame
Section 2: Puzzling
Section 3: Cunning
Section 4: Annoying
Section 5: Training
Section 6: Absurd

Sounds good except for section 4. I don't think hard levels (or any levels) should be annoying. =P
How about "turmoil" for 4?

[ccexplore]

Just post your ideas, ccexplore!

I'm afraid I won't do much better.  I have to say of all the stuff I've seen so far, I like Nuntar's the best, although I still would like to use slightly different words, so that Nuntar can still have the names for his own set some day:

Simple, Quirky, Zany, Lunatic, Manic, Carnage

For the Lemmings Remake, I definitely don't want the easiest rating to be "Lame"; that would be the ONML Remake. :tongue: "Lame" also made it sound like we threw in a bunch of garbage to make up easy levels; that's hardly flattering to the level authors that contributed those levels, plus I think even for easy levels, there are room for other things to shine like the visuals, the titles, etc.

I also don't want the "glitch-training rating" (if we're doing one) to be "Training".  How about "Glitchy"?  Or perhaps something more indirect like "Quirky", "Wacky" etc.

--------

If I come up with something I like for one of the ratings I'll let you know.

[Proxima]

"Puzzling", "Cunning" and "Absurd" aren't bad. How about "Berserk" for #4? As ccexplore suggests, "Wacky" works well for #5.... that just leaves #1, and I'm sure there must be more synonyms for "easy" floating around, or just use "Easy" itself!

I like these:
trivial
basic
elementary
benign
tranquil

[EricLang]

Some creative (native English person) make new texts?
These are the ONML texts

ONML

1.
Oh dear, not even one poor Lemming
saved. Try a little harder next time.

2.
Yes, well, err, erm, maybe that is
NOT the way to do this level.

3.
We are not too impressed with your
attempt at that level!

4.
Getting close. You are either pretty
good, or simply lucky.

5.
Shame, You were short by a tiny amount.
Go for it this time.

6.
Just made it by the skin of your
teeth. Time to progress..

7.
More than enough .You have the makings
of a master Lemmings player.

8.
What a fine display of Lemmings control.
Take a bow then carry on with te game.

9. (if 100%)
WOW! You saved every Lemming.
TOTALLY EXCELLENT!

10. (When finished the last level)
Congratulations!
You are truly an Excellent
Lemmings player
The Lemmings Saga continues at a
later date, watch this space

And a few other questions:
how many levels per section, 20 or 30?
Safe falldistance of 60 or 63?
What kind of level code system?
(we could just use a new system, like my current
quick and dirty randomly generated code system. which means that just 1 code will work for a level)

elementary sounds good.

So now we have:
Section 1: Elementary
Section 2: Puzzling
Section 3: Cunning
Section 4: Berserk
Section 5: Wacky
Section 6: Absurd

For the code system, a possible idea would be a (algorithmic) code system with codes consisting of readable syllables; that way you could remember the code with only looking once at the code list.

As for the Ratings, I find 'Elementary' quite suitable, but 'basic' isn't bad either, and it's shorter.

In general, should all (9 resp. 10) styles be allowed to be used or only the one ones for Lemmings resp. (in case we even get so far) ONML?

[chaos_defrost]

I like "basic" because "elementary" would seem a bit cluttered compared to the other ratings on a graphic.
