Re: What Music Are You Listening To?

Good choices, man. I see a couple of my favorites out of the ones you listed too. (Captain Eo's Voyage, Shadows Between the Sky, Raindrops on Christmas, Drift and Poseidon) A couple other favorites of mine include Electric Tears, Colma, Pepper's Ghost, Population Override and The Elephant Man's Ala...

Re: Fleex & Markeen's Keen 5 Level Pack

This is what I get for lurking; I miss out on these things early. I don't have much time for playing currently but I played a couple of levels and I hope to be able to play all of this sooner or later. I must say this is quite interesting. On one hand there's many clear flaws here and there but also...

Re: What Music Are You Listening To?

Yes I have, not bad at all but not entirely for me neither. But I also must admit not having dived too deep into their library. Extreme metal is not for everyone. Well that's not really the problem. I've got a collections spanning pretty much all forms of metal (and punk but that's a different thin...

Re: Keen 5 Least Favorite Level?

This one's hard — Keen 5's levels are pretty consistently good, and at worst are either a bit boring, or a bit annoying. In fact, I think there's at least something interesting in all of the levels. I completely agree with this. I also really like how all the tunnels represent actual tunnels and of...

Re: What Music Are You Listening To?

If you're into Russian metal, have you ever heard a band named Dehydrated? Yes I have, not bad at all but not entirely for me neither. But I also must admit not having dived too deep into their library. Oh wow, didn't expect to find another Buckethead fan on here, I'm even more surprised to find on...

Re: Vinyl Goddess from Mars custom level pack (with a remake of Commander Keen 4 level)

I gave it a go. The first 2 levels were really cool, a bit challenging maybe but the fact that I'm playing new levels for a game I never thought anybody would care for is already great. The third one I instantly recognized from Hocus Pocus; really cool. It kept the atmosphere of the original game an...

Re: What Music Are You Listening To?

Lately I've been listening to Buckethead's 31 Days 'Til Halloween series. Back in October 2015, Buckethead released 1 album a day for a month counting down to Halloween, and they're a collection of dark, ambient albums that would sound perfect in a haunted house. To be honest, I think they get kind...

Re: First Keen mod you played

That would be KeenQ by Joriz. Even though I had been designing levels for Keen (and more so the original Duke Nukem) long before I never really joined any online community or found out there were many mods until Joriz showed me his mod (which he had just finished). I absolutely loved it and because ...

Re: Least favorite Keen game?

This was a difficult choice between Keen 3 and Keen Dreams but I went with Keen Dreams. It's the only game in the series I've only played through once and cannot find myself going through again. I've started on multiple occasions but for reason its never been able to keep my attention for too long. ...

Re: Favorite Keen game? Take Three!

I'm going to go with Keen 4. Together with Keen 1 I'm incredibly nostalgic for these games. Everything in Keen 4 is done well, from its level design to the graphics; everything just fits perfect. Specially the forest background seems iconic to me. The atmosphere it breathes is just unmatched for me....

Re: Keen 4 Most Favorite Level?

It’s also interesting that a lot of people defended the Chasm of Chills in the previous thread, and yet so far it hasn’t made anybody’s top three. I imagined for its distinctiveness somebody would’ve come in for it—I ranked it low myself but I do admire the depth of its secret areas and would’ve ex...

Re: Keen 4 Most Favorite Level?

I'll start with the Pyramid of the Gnosticene Ancients. I love all the pyramids but this one stood out with its open space and more complicated switch layout. The treasure eater would scare the crap out of me too as a child. I always thought they could kill Keen so I was always on high alert in case...

Re: Keen 4 Least Favorite Level?

This seems to me a major determining factor for how players view this level. Does anyone enjoy this one for reasons other than the secrets? If you take away these there is nothing left but a very basic, Hillville like level. I don't believe that matters really because if the rest of the level would...

Re: Your most memorable level or place in Keen?

I almost find it impossible to narrow it down to just one. There are so many strong childhood memories born from this series that I can still vividly relive with ease. I guess I will start with a few honourable mentions then ;) The capital city (level 4) in Keen 1: The vorticon in the end is what di...

Re: Warp zone in Well of Wishes

This sounds like an old fashioned screen wrap to me. The coordinates that store Keens location probably reset when/before overflowing. The same thing happens on the world map of Keen 6 which as a kid I thought was done on purpose so the planet would feel round/spherical... :crazy The point collectin...
