Re: The PCKF/KM Technical Problems Thread

I've been getting this error from time to time: SQL ERROR [ mysqli ] Too many connections [1040] An sql error occurred while fetching this page. Please contact an administrator if this problem persists. In other words, I'm browsing PCKF just fine for a while, and then this error comes up when I clic...

Re: Announcement 2 of 2: Oh, and also here's a beta of a Keen 5 mod.

The same goes for Prisoner's Dilemma . Most of its bugs haven't been fixed, most especially in the final level where there is a massive bug that makes the level unsolvable. Oof, that doesn't sound too good! And I thought The Prisoner's Dilemma was completed all along! (Well, I guess the author cons...

Re: Slug Village Ice Cream on Hard

I quick tested it out, and I got the ice cream pretty easily. What I did was use the Impossible Pogo Trick on that Bounder. I waited for the Bounder to reach the apex of its jump height before pulling it off. It might take you some practice if you're not used to the Impossible Pogo Trick. Since it's...

Re: Keen Awards 2023: Winners

@Quillax As long as it doesn't confuse things too much, I'd like to ask you to update and add the above names for categories 1.2, 1.3 and 3.3 in the announcement post. 1.2: Best Galaxy Mod I assume you want me to add the names in bold, correct? On one hand, I'd rather not have too many names, and y...

Re: OFF TOPIC THREAD: Where derailing the thread is impossible!

The spambot registrations are kind of unsightly, though, so I've updated reCaptcha to v3. I checked the members list, and wow; there has been no new users since March 18! That's gotta be a new record, at least since 2019. Looks like the upgrade worked, which surprised me, although I wonder how it'l...

Re: Announcement 2 of 2: Oh, and also here's a beta of a Keen 5 mod.

What's the current status of this mod? Has it been completed yet, or is it still in the beta phase (perhaps perpetually)? Kohntarkosz_ hasn't logged into this place since July 19, 2021. Is there anyone here in contact with him? I just sent him a PM. Who knows, maybe he'll get an e-mail for that; is ...

Next Keen Awards (2024) - advice needed

Since there's been some talk on what changes the next Keen Awards should have, I created this topic as a place for that sort of discussion. If you have any advice or suggestions for Keen Awards 2024, then please post them here. I set up a poll for how the nominations period should be handled, based ...

Re: Keen Awards 2023: Winners

Thanks to Nisaba for updating the KeenWiki article and improving the lists! I also pitched in a little bit with updating the article, as well as transforming the statistics paragraph into a list that's now in its own section. Not sure if said list could use some work, though; I based it off of the L...

Re: MILDLY NEAT -- For all your random Keenery needs!

Has anyone ever noticed that of all the Keen episodes, only Keen 2 has yet to have a mod in the current decade (2020s)? The last Keen 2 mod came out in early 2019. Also, that Apple II port looks pretty neat! Since you said the author is a Twitter user, Roobar, are there any tweets about it that you'...

Wow, this is neat! Great find, Litude! I never knew that Apogee distributed Keen 6 at one point! I just added the Apogee Demo Version to the Keen 6 Versions article on KeenWiki. No download link is included; if someone could please host a .ZIP file with just the game files, then I'd gladly link to i...

Was the Impossible Pogo Trick originally a bug?

In a Keen 6 walkthrough Dr. Witherstone wrote, he said this: ...remember that the Impossible Pogo actually originated as a bug. Is this true? I've read many Keen-related articles and interviews in the past, and I don't remember a single other one saying something along that line. Is there any eviden...

Re: Free to use Keen graphics thread

This is a great idea for a topic! It instantly reminded me of the "Unused graphics" thread, which is also a goldmine for quality graphics (I'd still love to see that green-and-blue background used someday). I'm glad to see the idea get revived! That thread I linked has some dead image link...

Re: Are "source code mods" mods or fangames?

It seems that many people here consider source code mods to be, indeed, mods. There's some talk about separating source code mods from patch mods for those who want to view only one or the other, which is already done to some extent. As Dave216 mentioned earlier, I created a pictorial list , titled ...

Re: Are "source code mods" mods or fangames?

I also want to quick bring up the fact that GZDoom appears to be an edit of the Doom source code, and has tons of mods made for it, which are called Doom mods, not fangames. It's true that in some ways making source code mods are more like mods than fangames. And I agree with Dave216, Canmore's Rede...

Happy Mort Day! Congratulations to all of the winners of the Keen Awards 2023!
