So looking forwards to trying this...  B)

 

[Miner49er]

Sounds ace! Look forward to trying this one out

I absolutely LOVE lemmings, I still play it today 20 years later.. one of those games that you can just pick up and play anywhere and enjoy.

Looking forward to this! Oh and that nanolemming graphic looks amazing

This sounds more brilliant with every little bit

If you press X, the current selection of lemmings gets nuked (5 second bomb timer). An exploding lemming will be able to destroy some terrain that cannot otherwise be destroyed by regular digging.

Excellent...

_wb_, any screenshot of the game itself to share at this stage?

Why not... still very much work in progress as you can see, but it gives you an idea:

Looks interesting, would be nice to see it animated

So many nano lemmings! *head explodes*

 

[bzar]

They should go "nanonanonanonanonanonanonanonano" in a low, fast voice as they do stuff

Yes!

Amazing!

This looks so up my street! I really liked Miners4k, but it got boring a bit too quickly - this looks even better...

Feel free to send me a sound sample I can use in the game

In other news, the nanolemmings can now fall to death in a splatter of red pixels.

Lemmings meets falling sand. Great idea, I'll definitely give this one a try when it's ready

Any information on the type of abilities the nanolemmings will have? Obviously theres "digging" and "bridging" was wondering what else you might have planned for them.

At the moment there's only those two and exploding (bomber). You can also select all or some of the lemmings, and "steer" them using the dpad.

I cannot really say what other abilities will be added, but you can already do quite a lot with this type of digging and bridging, so I'm probably going to keep it simple for now and not add too many new skills before I get a better feeling of what the current ones can do.

Digging is more general than the miner, basher and digger skills in the original lemmings. Bridging can be used like a blocker (just build a vertical wall) and in many more ways than the original builder skill.

Make sure you select "lemmings-like" soundtrack as much as possible This really made the game stand out as well at the time!

 

[Klumpen]

"let's go!"

If you need some Lemming-Samples, I'd volunteer to speak and record them.
