The only way to lower the memory requirements of Atroxian Realm without altering the game itself would be to use some neat code that Lemm came up with. Lemm's code allows the game to draw the sprites and perform the necessary sprite shifts on the fly while drawing the sprites. This can reduce the m...

The current checkpoint system in Atroxian Realm makes it extremely difficult to have some of the extra lives disappear after loading a checkpoint. And other players actually like this system and have asked for more extra lives to be placed near the checkpoints so that the player can basically have ...

I recently finished this, and I can pretty honestly say, it's the best Commander Keen mod I've ever played! I was specifically the most interested in its soundtrack, and it is really great, well-made and perfectly fits the game. There are some tracks I really like and which I'm replaying just to hea...

I could potentially see exploring this kind of modern/retro fusion style if Voyage to Veota ever becomes a thing. It seems like it's a nice way to modernize the music without losing that old-school Keen style (not to mention not having to deal with the IMF format). I'm wondering how difficult these...

After playing Commander Keen for longer time, I really started feeling that 1UPs are really... pointless items. The whole concept of counting lives, losing live after death and game over when running out of lives becomes useless when you can freely save and load game any time without limitations. Th...

I really love some of these, especially the first two (Twilit Jungle and Scattered Ashes). I'm curious about the approach you used to create these. I noticed some of these titles mention "GENMIDI demo." Is there any chance that's some kind of adlib converter, or did the conversions have to be some ...

This looks to be the same problem as already discussed in this topic: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=4162#p86123

2) The secret area at the top of Chasm of Chills. I remember the darker shade of blue sky and what seemed like 100 thunderclouds attacking me, but I just looked on the wiki and there's only 2 of them up there... :lol 8. Thundercloud. Unsolid, angry, unstunnable... When I was a kid I felt they were ...

For me, it is the Cave of the Descendents from Keen4, namely the secret area which contains two 1UPs hidden it it and which cannot be escaped in other way than dying. As a kid, I had really plenty of time to spend playing computer games, and I was always very curious about some special corner cases ...

Ooh, please do! That would be greatly appreciated. :) Thanks mate. Okay. Here you go: http://www.mediafire.com/file/4287usfv3dsvuqc/03.mp3/file Just in case you are interested in more music, you can check out my Youtube channel as well: https://www.youtube.com/user/hisymak/videos Here I uploaded ev...

Hey, this is pretty sweet, dude. Thanks! I'm especially liking the Peer Gynt one - In the Hall of the Mountain King is one of my favorite pieces. It'd make a pretty good ringtone; if I ever feel like fussing about with new ringtones may I use that? Yes. I also have full version of that song so I ca...

Hey, do you like to hear some Adlib/Sound Blaster/OPL Synth-styled music, like what plays in Commander Keen and many other good games from DOS era? If yes, then let's check out my Soundcloud channel: https://soundcloud.com/hisymak where I uploaded selection of my most favourite MIDIs from various mu...

... Thanks for some technical explanation. I was kind of expecting a response like this, now I know someting more about IMF format as you put some light on all this. Commander Keen is really a superior game, mostly about the gameplay and originality, and good graphics. Now I also understand better,...

Well, you can finally check it out here . I'm pretty sure you could come up with a better user interface. Since the tool was written without a GUI toolkit, most of the interface is just something thrown together to get the job done. The biggest problem for you would probably be getting the objects ...
