Hi Ilsoap!

I always wondered: Did you write the title screen music to "The Rule of a Yorp's Supper?"

Re: Operation Station Infiltration

You definitely missed a sign. It'll be visible at the far edge of the screen, in a particular level.

Hey hey, I grew up loving the music in Word Rescue--I definitely take this as praise! :D

> Did you have a favorite level? A least favorite? The Crew Quarters was by far my favorite. Bite-size puzzle-esque rooms with minimal backtracking and clear progression. Yay! Special mention to Ion Injection System. It flowed really well! Sec Ops 2 was by far my least favorite. Huge level with lot...

Re: New Old Keen History From Scott Miller - Apogee/3DR Founder

Hilarious that the original illustration of Keen (the poster with the Bloog) "really bugged John Romero" because Keen had his gun in the incorrect (left) hand... but then the same mistake is made in the 6 character promo painting later on! :lol

Re: Is there any (official) statement from original game authors/distributors about modding?

When I was in college (I think ~2006?) I did a paper about the modding of games in general (including a little dive into how Ms. Pac-Man was effectively a mod of the original Pac-Man) and did an e-mail interview with Tom Hall about modding--he was all for it and supportive of it. Echoing the sentime...

Re: Why do you like Keen?

1) How did you initially get into the Keen games? My dad subscribed to the "Software of the Month" club, wherein every month we got 2 or 3 3.5" floppies and a little trifold explaining what was on it. Got the Crystal Caves shareware from that, and purchased the full trilogy, which ca...

Re: Commander Keen - Aurora Bliss (RELEASE)

Dave216, this is truly remarkable and incredible. This is the first KeenMod I've played start-to-finish and re-played in years! Your music sets the atmosphere well, and I really liked your level design. Like Ceilick said, it felt fair, and I appreciated how compact things tended to be. My least favo...

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

5:28 and change with 41 deaths.

I don't know what was going on in anything, I literally held the right arrow from the moment I read the "GO GO GO" tombstone.

Is it possible to get to the highest tombstone in the first castle? I couldn't make the last jump. :(

Shooting the QED was the first thing I tried, when I got there! "Hey, I recognize this from the preview screen! Now for the big moment! Take this!" *zot* "Erm...!?" :lol

Re: Keen 5 Most Favorite Level?

Is it weird that, in my mind, the Defense Tunnels blur with the Systems level they pair with? For example, Defense Tunnel Sorra and Neutrino Burst Injector are basically one big level in my mind. I can't remember the gameplay of one without the other... and for that reason, my vote has to go to the ...

Looks very very very cool. :) That's the kind of stuff I wish I was capable of!! Very fun to see, and I know it'll be atmospheric to trod through in your finished levels.

Are... you sure those are the right notes at 0:15? I feel like the harmony is off, relative to the original.
