Are there any other 'skill combo' names you get like the Athlete? Also quite a few of these levels seemed Basher/Builder-heavy. Hopefully we'll start seeing some other skills get their time to shine. That SNES difficulty end animation was really cute, thanks for throwing it into the video!JFairfax posted:there is a fantastic history of DMA Design here: http://www.dmadesign.org

There's no other skills you can have simultaneously. Climber and Floater are both passives, all the others are actively doing something.

Anyone played Lemmings Revolution? It has a whole heap of new tricks that mix up the puzzles. The installer no longer works on Windows 10 and I had to do a registry hack to get it running, but it still plays fine.

Psychedelic Eyeball posted:I heard a bunch about it but I never could find it in stores anywhere. So it's a 3D Lemmings game that plays like 2D Lemmings? The 3D is purely presentational except that levels loop around. Rotating the cylinder is effectively scrolling and lemmings walking in each direction stay on their own side of the path. In fact, most things are actually prerendered 3D sprites. So yeah, it's very 2D.

When in comes to the level art, in particular the rocky levels, did they draw some kind of outline of a level and when they were happy with how it played the artists had to "draw within the lines"? Great work on the LP, you are closing in on the stressful levels and I feel rather scared.

NEW UPDATE Time for the fear to slowly creep in, it's time to take on the Tricky levels! With that said, the Tricky difficulty starts off gently, giving you a few levels to further ease you in the game with those patented "choose your adventure" levels that give you every skill in the book to prevail. However, we're getting some stages that require more finesse to win. You better get ready! Tricky - Levels 1-10

'A doddle' is a british term for something very easy. It may have derived from 'toddle', something so easy a toddler could do it, in effect.

AJ_Impy posted:'A doddle' is a british term for something very easy. It may have derived from 'toddle', something so easy a toddler could do it, in effect. "Here's one I prepared earlier" is a catchphrase from the long-running children's show Blue Peter (they do a lot of projects you can make at home). Good catch on the potential reference to reused level design. "Been there, seen it, done it" may well be another such reference, although it's also a saying people come up with when they're feeling particularly jaded about some supposedly exciting experience (all it's missing is "bought the T-Shirt"). "There's a lot of it about" is usually used in reference to illnesses that are going around at a given moment, like a stomach bug or a common cold variant.

I thought the "metal" stuff was always indestructible? I noticed on level 9, when you ordered all the lemmings to self-destruct, they actually blew a few holes in the blocks. Are some of them secretly destructible? Or is it a bug related to the mass self-destruct option?

Are some of them secretly destructible? Or is it a bug related to the mass self-destruct option? I never figured out the precise rule, but there is some bug/unintended feature in how metal is indestructible, that lets you destroy it in some circumstances. It has something to do with the game thinking the digging/bombing is actually only affecting normal walls. I think it's hard to do intentionally.

I think it happens when you bomb while standing on a staircase. Since the staircase is bombable, and also seems to intersect the terrain a little bit, the explosion continues.

I thought it might have been because the metal had algae on that bit? None of the rest was affected.

I've usually only noticed it when I've been nuking all my lemmings, so I assume it's a bug/to do with when all the lemmings are exploding. The clear the map button is great. For extra fun, hit it when your lemmings are still on their way to the portal and see if they make it in time!

Sorry for the double post, I just remembered about the following, which would be nice to address.100 HOGS AGREE posted:Hey Eye you said you were using a remake version? Where'd you get that? You can also stretch the window to the size you want so I'm using this opportunity to play in sweet HD and have it look great to boot! It's probably the best way to play Lemmings right now. It gives you all of the convenience and bells and whistles while staying true to the game's original mechanics. Manic_Misanthrope posted:So will we get to see a dickery filled two player video?

For those wondering about how the solid steel broke, here's some information from Tasvideos that describes how to do this (breaking through steel can help save a lot of time in the tool assisted speedrun) I'll spoiler tag the methods that weren't shown in the video What we saw was Psych using the self-destruct button while lemmings were walking up and down a staircase that was built above the steel, if they blew up right on the part of the staircase that was a specific distance from the steel, the steel gets damaged, another thing that happens is one lemming blew up causing another to fall as the staircase he was standing on was blown up, then that lemming would blow up while falling at a distance high enough from the steel to blow some of it away. Here's the comment by LordTom who made the TAS for lemmings LordTom posted:Going through steel/wrong way arrows: * Bomb: Bomber lemmings can damage steel if the detonation occurs a sufficient distance away. * Bash: Bashing just as a lemming turns around will usually take a small chunk out. When there's only a few pixels of steel remaining, you can just bash through forwards. * Dig: By first building a bridge and digging down from it, it is possible to dig various distances into steel. Using these unintended methods of breaking steel can actually allow you to make alternative solutions to save time, but in many cases are too precise to do without savestates or frame-by-frame playing.

Whilst farting I posted:Do you think you'll do demo videos of the games from the cross-promotional levels at any point, like Menacing? Funny thing you're talking about Menacing though, because it's time for a NEW UPDATE The second portion of Tricky is upon us. This is where the game starts to transition from being a chill, happy-go-lucky adventure game to being a puzzle game where you have to use your skills in a creative manner to win. Nothing too difficult yet, with one exception. We'll run into the one level of the game where a lot of casual Lemmings players stop playing the game altogether! Let's see what this is about! Tricky - Levels 11-20

loving hell I remember watching my dad play this on our family computer when I was really little. Even when I was older I was never that good at micromanaging the little bastards to do well at it. I will really enjoy this LP though.

In the  ACID level, you had to build over the entry hatch. That made me wonder, if a lemming falls on top of the entry hatch, is it solid? Can the lemming walk on it or will it fall straight through?

I think the way they get exotic tags on threads is by moving the thread to the subforum with the tag, modifying the tag and then moving it back. I'm not sure if it requires the help of an accomplice moderator from the other subforum, though. You could always ask.

Good to see you back again after the aborted Binding of Isaac LP. I watched all of those videos in a row and I was wondering when you were gonna get to use Bombers in ways other than getting rid of Blockers, but the last one answered my question. I remember having the Nintendo Power that had a mini-strategy guide for the Game Boy version of Lemmings. That must have been quite a weird port.
