I think it might feel a little odd, in the Keen games movement mechanics are the main focus rather than shooting/combat mechanics. You have running, jumping, pogoing, climbing poles, climbing ledges, surfing platforms (in Keen 5 at least...) meanwhile the only interesting aspect of shooting is that ...

I just came back from Peter Hook & The Light. Very interesting show, for a 70 year old he's still got the moves. The set list includes some Joy Division classics, a shoutout and prayer for the late Ian Curtis, and also a fair share of New Order stuff as well as new repertoire which is heavily ...

Congratulations to all winners

I think I recall a Christmas themed Keen Dreams mod, but K:D was the last major episode to receive any kind of modding support IIRC, that would've been maybe 2012-2013?

Multimania wrote: Tue Dec 16, 2025 9:07 Very cool: I just built a copy of Keen 1 (albeit with Borland C++ 3.0, which was what I had lying around), and despite the issues you mentioned, managed to play it through to completion.

Presumably the differences would only matter if you were to attempt patching the executable

Gave me a laugh I especially like BJ's chin

Hey yeah I'm also eagerly watching TSK's playthrough (and looking forward to Alphamatic as well :) ) I did play some AR back in the day but don't think I ever finished it, just watched a bunch of playthroughs because I didn't want to miss out on the story.

I love the overall art direction of this ...

You can tell they were inspired by the campiness of old sci-fi from the 1960s and earlier among other things, especially in Keen 6.

Interesting. Anything in particular that you can name?


Eat at Joe's, the Stupendous Sandwich of Chungella IV, the ACME Oracle and its activation procedure, the ...

I wanna nominate Keen 59: Underworld Ultimate for best hiatus work this mod completely blew my mind when it came out and it still does today l. From a technical and artistic perspective it's one of the best mods ever.

Wonder where Bernie is these days...

I'm really pleased to see another update! As a fan of the whole Mura theme, I couldn't resist sneaking in a tiny cross-reference / Easter egg into Foray in the Forest. (Warp to level 11 and search the bottom right corner!)
I'm looking forward to upcoming updates.


Thanks Nisaba, I'm glad to see ...

I don't think this is available for download. It looks like the author just wanted to show a video of what they made in Godot. Sorry, I tried looking and I don't see any download link.


This is why I wish youtube hadn't removed the private messaging feature. I've been in יצחק 's shoes before ...

I would guess that making it suitable for all ages was a conscious decision by id. Their inspiration for making this type of game was Mario, they wanted a game with a similar kind of universal appeal. The cartoonishness was more down to Tom Hall and Adrian Carmack's personal vision I'd say. You can ...

Seems like he's just getting acquainted with things right now. A few weeks ago when he freshly joined he was asking for suggestions for mods to check out, and asking about the tools people use to edit keen 4,5,6.


Not just that: he posted a screenshot of the Abiathar splash screen... :evil the ...

It works for me, even clicking around different articles. Seems like the problem might be on your end.

Hey, welcome back, that looks awesome! I'd play the hell out of that.
