Public Commander Keen Forum

If it’s okay I’d like to nominate the one and only Tom Hall for 4-1 Keenest Person Of the Year, because he’s been active in the Keen Discord answering fan questions and giving insight into Keen’s development and ID Software history which is way cool to see!

I second this... DEVO are such good fun, probably the most fun and least self-important of all the post punk bands. I find their colourful visuals and their jaunty square wave synths are almost a bit Keenish in a way.

Some of the songs you picked are great. "Gut Feeling" is surely one of the best ...

Q: Are we not men? A: We are DEVO!

Seriously though for the last year or so i just can’t get enough DEVO in my ears. They’re a pretty divisive band, people either love them or hate them and I totally get it when someone says they don’t like their music. DEVO is a very strange band indeed with their ...

Oh heck yessss! Congratulations on completing the game, I can’t wait to play it! Three cheers!

There is this amazing 44 minute-long PODCAST about Commander Keen which was just released, which is really interesting to listen to! You have to check this out!

When I think about a brand new Commander Keen game, I imagine an open-world sandbox style game, set on some beautiful Alien planet far away in the galaxy, where Keen could be free to just explore the planet. There would be many interesting and dangerous locations (levels) to uncover, forests, caves ...

what even IS a kumquat anyways? pretty sure I've never eaten one

neat! the "generic space platforms" picture looks like it could be a Keen worldmap with the buildings being levels you know?

Hey could someone please update the "level packs" section of the main Galaxy Mods page over at the Wiki? I don't see Sunnylands listed there yet

I wear glasses because I have bad vision, but once in a while I take them off when playing Keen. This makes the game look blurry to me and my skill goes down. I call it "nostalgia mode"

Absolute fact!

Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding by Elton John. Best song EVER!

I happened to find the checkpoints in Atroxian Realm to be very useful, and ended up using them all the time. But that was because I didn't just play straight through the game. I would go back, re-play the level a few times and try to memorize everything so I could beat a level in under 30 minutes ...

Merry Christmas!

I'm 99.9999% sure I'm on the Autistic spectrum too, though I was never diagnosed. Anyone who has seen my youtube videos has probably already figured that out lol :P
It used to really bother me when I was younger, i'd stay awake at night very depressed asking "why the hell am i so different?!" Being ...
