Public Commander Keen Forum

I would like to nominate DoomJedi's Bomberkeen, but which category would it fall into? Fangame, I assume? Or "Really Keen Stuff"? Are fangames a strict 'recreating the Keen engine in a different engine' sort of thing? Since this is more a "Dyna Blaster mod" that's Keen themed. I am guessing not, but ...

Your nomination is written in plural, yet you linked to only one piece. Did you intend to include the other piece Symphony made as well, or do you want to just nominate the one you put on your post? Just making sure.

Oh, yes, my mistake. I meant to share her post, not just a single image. I'd ...

2.5: Best Non-Computerized Art (pencil drawing, sculpture, cosplay etc.)

Symphony's acrylic paints on wooden boards.

It all depends on whether you're playing the original game or a new mod release. It's understandable to play a new release on normal or easy difficulty since you have little way of knowing how balanced everything is. I always replay the original games and well-established mods on Hard, mostly ...

The vibrant colors give me Blade Runner (1982!) vibes....
I’m absolutely thrilled to see where this journey takes you. It’s a dazzling masterpiece in the making, you dirty little bastard. Keep up the phenomenal work! I can’t wait to immerse myself in the full experience!

All those moments will ...

I wanted to share some gameplay footage with you guys. I've lately been mostly updating some graphics and artwork. I've also added some technical improvements that K1n9_Duk3 suggested, like changing game text speed, adding new ways to progress through the story, and so forth. I think the writing is ...

Congrats once again, Szemi! I am a little too busy to play it now, but I am looking forward to trying it this weekend. Just by reading what you've added and seeing the trailer, this looks super! Nice work.

If I will be in the good mood, I might try the highest difficulty to see how you've spiced it ...

Wow, that's a really impressive update! New additions to the roster are great, as expected. Not to mention that the character selection screen, main menu, and everything else looks neat as well. I should try talking my friends into playing a few rounds with me at some point. :D

I don't think the ...

Wait... How the HELL did I miss this???? I'm an avid adventure game fan, and I'm getting some big Lucasarts vibes from this. You continue to shock me with the awesome graphics. Looks really pretty imo. Hope you keep working on this!

Thanks! It means a lot hearing that! I was taking a small break ...

I think the vibe of the games is somewhat consistent all the way through the series except for the finale. As disturbing as some enemies might seem, they look cartoonish enough for what they were going for.Freakish as Keen6 may look, I think the crown goes to Bloog Control Center.

And I think ...

I am glad I could be of some help. Good luck on your projects, Sodium!

I don't think anyone here was criticizing you. I think that the only thing that was mentioned is that this is maybe an odd approach to making a mod, or rather a strange way to introduce it to the public.

If you're looking to build off random ideas, this tileset gives me an impression of a galactic ...

Oh, man. I wish I could animate half as good as you do, DoomJedi. :O

The creativity behind some of the movements, like Wormouth and Treasure Eater, is just incredible. As well as their death animations. So fluid and lively. Framerate is also so much better, which I am guessing Duke had something ...

Now I am more excited than before. Good luck on this project, DoomJedi. As a big fan of Dyna Blaster who has countless hours in versus mod with my sibling, I am excited to play this.

Those second block tiles remind of mountain tiles in Aurora Bliss worldmap.

Congrats to all the winners, and thanks to all those who voted for me. The best Galaxy mod category was pretty tense throughout, and it was fun competing for it with you, Szemi. I had no idea I would win the best graphical artwork, especially since artwork was so good this year.

And thanks to ...
