New beta is up which should circumvent most or all of the issues in level 2 (see top post)

I was wondering: How come you chose a cuneiform kind of style for the SGA characters? this seems to be a very interesting choice. out of curiosity, can you read Sumerian or Akkadian? I mean, you do know how to display even numeric values. so, where is this reference coming from? Hey, you noticed th...

I'm not sure if it's accurate to assign blame to individuals for decisions that were probably made by committee, at least not until we know more. In my experience (none of which, I will admit, is in the professional games design industry) if a project is well-executed on a technical level but utterl...

Beta 0.2 is up. Link is here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Xx3KNWt8Qn_8hVZTmk7f83ttMpOt1ebw I have fixed the game-breaking platform issue in level 2, and attempted to fix the riot-cop clipping issue, but I think I may just have to make sure he doesn't show up near 45˚ slopes. Roobar, that is si...

Thanks for 'looking under the hood', K1n9_Duk3 ! Your hitbox notes are a potential game changer, no pun intended. As for k6loader.exe, I've got the code pretty much tuned-up and dialed-in, to the point where I don't believe I need any help with it, although I appreciate the offer. The problem is I w...

No deadline! It'd be highly malapropos for me to set deadlines for other people when I'm this bad at meeting the ones I set for myself.

Roger that, I'll post a revised beta around the end of the week. Stay tuned!

I have to admit though, as Rick, I couldn't get past the 1st purple and blue room in the 2nd level, I'm sure its my own ignorance, but there doesn't seem to be anywhere he can go. Hey, thanks for the kind words. There should be a moving platform, that passes in front of the long pole, that will tak...

Good work. I am enjoying those lighting effects quite a lot!

I'll admit I haven't been logging my changes very carefully, but, off the top of my head: TILE STUFF: -All known "top-right-corner" and "top-left-corner" foreground tile issues = fixed -Foreground/background issue at right edge of the grey steel platform and the pipe platform = fixed -Foreground ter...

Andrew Kepple is a name that should be familiar if you were involved with the Keen community and/or on AlbinoBlackSheep between 2003 and 2005. He is the author of several 'animutations' (remember those?) He has kept a toe or two in the animation game since then, and by the looks of things, his skill...

UPDATE, DEC-4: Beta 0.3 is now available. Link is here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1w_j2RtLvsHVuTkUKsPjjd6mEwNcR7lCa Have replaced all multi-point moving platforms in critical areas with Keen 4-style platforms until I can figure out what the heck is going on (it does not seem to have to do wi...

Well, here it is, only [glances at wristwatch] six months later than anticipated. Thanks a bunch to all the beta testers. Here is the download link: https://drive.google.com/open?id=19BnGKICwLO6AS46a2mEKOyAg9iwWT5mN I have fixed most or all of the tile issues, and a few of the more difficult optiona...

Oh this looks gorgeous. Roobar, the logo you sent me the other week finally makes sense now.

Hello again folks, The deadline for suggestions for things which will be fixed in Version 1.0 of this mod is now closed. I will probably drop v1.0 in late May, but I also expect to do one more revision later in the year, so additional suggestions are still welcome. I can't begin to tell you how much...
