Re: Keen Awards 2023: Winners

Congrats to Nisaba and the team for the best galaxy mod. It was fun competing with you!  While still on the topic of Foray, I am a little baffled by winning the best soundtrack since almost every track in FitF left me thinking, "Man, I wish I could compose such great music." Still, thank y...

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

This is an interesting thread. I can see where you're going with this, but I can see both sides classifying a source mod as a mod of the original game, as well as calling it a fangame. I too got confused when I started my modding career, and Atroxiam Realm was categorized as a keen4 mod, so I was br...

Re: Keen Awards 2023: Nominations

The nomination for "Keenest Person of the Year" should still be at the end of the year because I feel it's a culmination of a person's activity and helpfulness rather than a one-time thing award. Also, how would the "Most Promising Project" work if it was instantly nominated by s...

Re: Commander Keen in Revival of Bliss

Thanks to everyone who has and currently is playtesting! Since I've cobbled enough levels together, I thought I'd show a teaser trailer. Still, there is quite a lot more to go, but progress has so far been very smooth!

Re: Keen Awards 2023: Nominations

1.1: Best Vorticon Mod: Keen Is At It Again by transporthummel I felt it was a well-balanced level pack with plenty of neat surprises and clever level designs. 1.2: Best Galaxy/Dreams Mod: It is no surprise, but " Foray in the Forest " by Nisaba should take the crown this year. No words a...

Re: Commander Keen in Revival of Bliss

So, some news updates on Craig's campaign: I've made some significant progress in the last two weeks. So much so that it left me surprised at how little is left to go. Everything is going according to plan, and every little idea I had down the road pretty much worked once I got to it. What's left? A...

Re: Foray in the Forest

Congrats on the release, Nisaba! It's truly remarkable. The music, visual style, enemy designs, and their behaviors are nothing short of fascinating. The creatures make the world feel so lively. The fact that there are custom death animations when falling in the water shows how much love and effort ...

Re: Commander Keen in Revival of Bliss

@Nisaba Thank you so much! Making this trilogy involved a lot of inspiration and assistance from you and a lot of other people! @Quillax Thank you! Oh, yeah. I really loved Keen 2000. I know what you mean. I recall those levels with shadings of purple and pink backgrounds; it must be my subconscious...

Commander Keen in Revival of Bliss

Hello PCKF! I'd like to share some info on my latest mod in progress, which will be the last in the series of Aurora Bliss. It will be a direct continuation of "Initiation Party." The atmosphere will be a mix of wacky, creepy, and cheerful vibes, like the first episode was. I took some ins...

Re: Keen Is At It Again! - My first Keen 1 mod

Oh my, I've written a full review but got caught up in my own things and forgot to post it.  Seeing how Quillax wrote most of the things I was going to say, I am going to keep it short and sweet. Also, I've used cheats to get past the level barriers, and since the problem has been discovered and sol...

Re: Thoughts on the Keen Mobile art style?

I don't think I would mind the art style all that much if the game that they were working on was fun in any way. It looks like a Saturday morning cartoon, with over-the-top facial expressions, goofy-looking characters, and so on. In my mind, this is something that the original game wasn't at all abo...

Re: World Mental Health Day

I've been anxious around people for most of my life. It's never really bothered me until I've entered early adulthood. As you've said, talking about it is difficult since, the way I perceive it, it's not an issue that persists throughout my entire day, but it's there none the less. So it feels like ...
