Woaah, what a psycho.
Really nice drawing. I love the facial expressions! Chester would make a fine addition to the Keenaverse. It would be fun to see Chester interact with Keen who is a pacifist.

I think everyone has their own preferences when it comes to mods and what feels like an official game.  There have been some excellent recommendations so far. I don't want to overwhelm you with suggestions, so I'll just name a few Galaxy mods: Operation Ocflore Foray in the Forest Suburb Shenanigans...

A small status update: All that's essentially left to do is design the second-world map, polish and redesign some levels, and playtest. I have some free space in the foreground tileset, so I might draw some background objects as well. I can't say how long it's all going to take, but I am pretty near...

I'll publish my Revival of Bliss this year.

In case someone was to nominate me for the most promising project, just to save you the trouble of adding and then removing me afterwards, Quillax.

It seems also that bots generate some replies on some threads. Some are more obvious than others, and some are just rephrasing posts by other members. 

Nice job, admins, for spotting them and removing them quickly.

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...

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...

Happy Keen Day, Soul Monster! And happy keen day everyone else!
I believe this will be another fantastic year, filled with wonderful content and artistic endeavors

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...

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!

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...

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...

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 ...

@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...

Thanks for the kind words, both of ya.
I believe we're all looking forward to the mod you're talking about
