Public Commander Keen Forum

Does Keen have unlimited ammo for anyone else? I forgot to point this out after my first time playing and I don't know what's causing that.

Someone made a page for Foray in the Forest, but the game still can't be played through your browser. It's a step in the right direction, at least.

Obviously there is some work to be done on it and I'm glad you have motivation in the tank to proceed. I hope someone helps you out with the pixel work. Unfortunately my pixel skills are dire so it won't be me! I note Toothpick's point about re-spriting the vorticons and the elites. All progress is ...

I vaguely recall some mention of this being converted to a source mod, but it seems we're sticking with Keen 5 after all. I honestly don't know a whole lot about Keen modding, but I hope it's possible to accomplish what needs to be done within Keen 5's limitations. I'm just glad to see this project ...

I haven't heard of this website, but playminigames.net does (or at least used to idk if it works now) host the official Keens, as well as UTUIT, Atroxian Realm, Alphamatic, Terror From Outer Space, and others. That website is how I discovered those Keen mods.


Oh, wow! Yeah, this site has way ...

It's come to my attention that there are a handful of Keen mods that can be played in-browser via Archive.org, but only a handful. From what I have found so far, there's Ceilick's The Universe is Toast trilogy and Xmas 2010, and... that's it. Not only that, but some of these uploads aren't even the ...

I'm playing the OSI.EXE through DOSBox. I wasn't aware there was another way to play it.I already started a new game, but I've been using multiple save slots in case the game crashes like that again. I'll try the other way when I'm done with my current session.

EDIT: I just finished the game in ...

I just lost all of my progress because "Goplat moved to a bad spot" during Defense Tunnel Eblon, specifically the spot where the Robo Yellow is. Reloading the save gives me the same error, so I'll just start a new game, I guess. I've been having a great time with the mod otherwise.

My #1 pick would be Newpotato News, but the others are incredibly good too. My other main choices would be On Deep Point and Good Turnip, but Spittin' Seeds is also very good for some levels that have a somewhat foreboding feel to them.

I wish you the best of luck on this project! I've been hoping someone would make a Godot framework that replicates the Goodbye Galaxy style of Keen gameplay, and this shows potential even in its early stages. I look forward to seeing how far you go with this.

Here's my contribution, somewhere in Anchorage, Alaska where I first experienced Keen back in 1992 or 1993. This was done in the exact neighborhood too.

Also interesting that Crystal Caves is called "Crystal Mines" in this advertisement, or so I assume anyway.

So here the first changes I did make to the main menu:

What you guys think?


Sorry for bumping an old thread, I just want to say this drawing of Keen has to be the best modern interpretation of Keen I've come across. It retains the look of his DOS era design ...

I played through the game twice and, yeah, it's a little unusual there's a pogo button but no pogo stick in sight. I'm guessing it's a planned feature or something I couldn't find? Great mod, by the way! It can easily see it becoming my way of playing Keen Dreams going forward.

Currently I have...
