I animated a commander keen music video based on "Commander Keen 4 - Secret of the Oracle". I hope you like it!

Delightful! Also a great song, very professional-sounding performance. :)

Re: I made a platformer in the goofy sci-fi spirit of Keen

Thanks, Nisaba! I put at least as much time into the soundtrack - probably more - than the rest of the game. The music is a very important part of shareware-era games for me, and since L&BGR has that general retro vibe, I wanted to make at least a few tracks that would match. Some of the instrum...

Re: Welp, I made my own platformer. It has dragons!

wow, this game is huge. How long did it take to finalize all these puzzles? I imagine that playtesting and re-configuring every bits and pieces of all those fiddly timing sections was a lot of trail and error, wasn't it? It was, but for many of the cool stunts I wasn't really aiming for anything in...

I made a platformer in the goofy sci-fi spirit of Keen

:garg Leslie & Brianne's Galactic Rampage :korath It's a little bit "Invasion of the Vorticons" in that you rampage through the aliens' ship and home planet, plus it contains a few sidelong references to Keen, including one on the back of the box art - in the tradition of rival sharewa...

Commander Keen "Iceberg" Meme

I couldn't find a Commander Keen Iceberg meme so I think we should make one ourselves. The Iceberg meme format, often used today as an educational diagram for fandom-related stuff, is that the well-known things are above the surface, but as you get deeper, the more obscure and/or weird the material ...

This isn't actually the game I was working on when I posted the Pocket Platformer thread. I still need to make the music for that one.

Make your own Platformer

:garg https://the-l0bster.itch.io/pocket-platformer :garg A very simple platformer-maker. Includes optional walljumping and dashing, but no pogo stick, although I'm sure some of you could figure out what javascript to add for that. I played around with it and have made a 10-level game that'll come o...

Re: TmsT Vintage Archive

Some of those jokes would not do so well nowadays... some of the subject matter you covered was so out there it was censored off the explicit version of the Marshall Mathers LP. I did a LOT of 9/11 jokes back then. At least they were still somewhat relevant, but jeez, I certainly found a thread and...

Re: TmsT Vintage Archive

I heartily endorse this event or product. Grandy has done what I never could bring myself to do: Trawl through the Waybackmachine for traces of things that I made and that were hosted on the many, many websites that "died" over the years. I wasn't completely neglectful, though; plenty of i...

Re: Keen 4 Least Favorite Level?

Hillville has always been my least favorite. ... the level has always felt boring and uninspired. The well of wishes would be next on the list. It's one of the most memorable but also one of the most boring; even the Dopefish can't save it. Ilse of fire would be the last of three. ... I find it int...

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

I got this videogame called Journey to the Savage Planet because it looked kinda fun, and I thought it might be a more substantial take on what The Outer Worlds was going for. Part way through, it began to occur to me just how much it perfectly captures the essense of Commander Keen and translates i...

Re: Keen Fanart Archive

Neat!

Oh wow, some of my old Keen art is megacringe. But so was I when I was 21. And now that I'm 41, I'm basically twice as cringe! :goth 8)
And at least it's archived! Great job, Grandy!
