Re: Keen Day package 2024

Given which mod we're talking about, here, I see nothing wrong with a defeated Kreeg looking a little sus. It's what Bernie would have wanted.

I'd be lying if I said I hadn't fantasized about blowing poison slugs to bloody mush at least once.

Re: Commander Keen in Quake Champions Classic

There's something wholesome about id Software's fans regarding Keen as "one of the boys" and allowing him to be a part of the more adult outings, even as id Software themselves refused to acknowledge him ever since Keen 6, outside of the disastrous GBC and unreleased mobile games. Besides,...

Re: Are mods better than the official games?

I'm more experienced with Doom modding than Keen modding, but I've noticed similarities between the two. The original levels in both games have strong nostalgia factor with just about everyone who grew up playing them, but in both cases, said original levels are a product of their time, and if there...

Re: MILDLY NEAT -- For all your random Keenery needs!

I remember Bernie advertising The Ruin of Roib on Doomworld. He went by B.P.R.D. then. I can't find the thread now, but I still recall one of the first replies was someone telling him it wasn't in the spirit of Keen, and that he should play Battle of the Brains to get in a more fitting mindset. If n...

Re: Keen 6 Least Favorite Level?

I, too, think Bloogton Tower is the worst level, for many of the reasons already listed, but also because "To the Future" is possibly the most irritating composition for Keen that Bobby Prince ever wrote. Guess that's yet another knock against BASA, too. :lol I would've included Blooglab S...

Re: Aliens and Their Just Desserts

https://i.ibb.co/wwQX5ST/Bloogborg.png This is neat! I like the sound of "Robip" better than "Bloogborg". It's easier to say, and "Bloogborg" is too similar to "Cybloog", IMO. The idea of it being able to grab you and you being given a split-second to shoot i...

Re: Aliens and Their Just Desserts

The in-level Grabbiter looks cool. Something about its eyes looks menacing. The Munchy looks like it could be to the Bloogs what Shockshunds were to the Shikadi. Hopefully less aggravating, fingers crossed... The Schnozzola's design reminds me of the Sand Wraith from Dead in the Desert. It's the blu...

Re: Operation Station Infiltration

This issue came up on the Discord and appears to be indicative of existing malware already on your system. It was resolved by running the Malwarebytes malware removal tool called Chameleon, which can be found here: https://www.malwarebytes.com/chameleon That's unfortunate if true, because Chameleon...

Re: Operation Station Infiltration

I've tried to download this mod from both this thread and on the Wiki, but both times, the files have been flagged as malware by my Malwarebytes guard. Is anyone else having similar problems?

Re: Lex Fridman interviews John Carmack

But no mention of Keen modding... :( Can't say I blame him. Doom modding is vastly more prolific than Keen modding. They're still making indie games based on the original Doom's source ports to this day - games that people are willing to pay money for, no less. Can't say I've heard of any monetary ...

Re: Atroxian Realm (Version 1.2 Released)

I always assumed that the nonlinear layout in Security Layer was intentional. Gridlock in general does such smart level design that I doubt he left a gaping flaw in this level and just hoped nobody would notice. If you go back to the official games -- especially the Galaxy engine entries -- it's act...
