Re: Keen 6 Most Favorite Level?
Wow who are the three people who chose the Bloogton Tower? :dead2 Anyway mine in loose order are: Guard Post One : We've talked a lot about how "cozy" certain levels in Keen are. There is at least one in each episode that, for whatever reason, I love to just hang out in, not to progress or...

Re: Keen 5 Most Favorite Level?
Wow, somehow I thought I had contributed to this thread long ago. Apparently I thought wrong. Which is too bad because Keen 5 has mostly brilliant level design and it's pretty hard to pick just three. That being said, here's what I get going with my gut... Regulation Control Center. All the "ba...

Re: Keen 6 Least Favorite Level?
It's been a while since I've posted here, but I saw that this poll was finally up and have been sitting on it for far too long. Also I got my password back so there's that too Bloogton Tower. Is it even a contest? The worst level in all the latter three episodes, a long, dull, gray exercise in tediu...

Re: Operation Station Infiltration
I'm glad that Robo Blue fanart I did half a lifetime ago is making its way into a Ceilick mod! It's even on the title screen heh I know this is old news to everyone who's been around lately but just wanted to say this looks super cool, I love the concept of having separate sub-boss robots with diffe...

Re: Keen 3 Gold Edition
To be fair, with Keen 3 specifically, making entirely new levels *is* fixing issues. :p We already have something kinda similar to what you're thinking of... Exactly what leapt to my mind, too. That and the Mr. Black Pack, which I love so god damn much that it's basically become canonical Keen 3 in...

Re: What is the hardest place/level for you in Keen 4?
I’ve always been terrified of the dopefish. They’re so…well, dopey looking but death by them feels so inevitable and total… While probably not objectively the hardest maneuver in the game, I’d give top billing for personal notoriety to that single drop directly beneath one of those ceiling thruster ...

Re: Any help contacting an old member of the board?
Bernie is the author both of what may be my favorite set of Doom maps (Equinox) and one of my all-time favorite keen mods (The Ruin of Roib). Both can be frustrating as hell but there's no doubting he has some serious talent and vision with his work. Hope you can get in touch with him. EDIT: His mor...

Re: Least favorite Keen game?
Wow, I'm surprised nobody has voted against Keen 6, given how many complaints I've seen about the glitches or the levels. It’s a testament to just how amazing and full of character the visual design in Keen 6 is. I think it has the weakest level design in the series outside of Keen 3 or Dreams and ...

Re: Keen 5 Least Favorite Level?
Yaaaaay finally My least favorite level is, and always has been, the Neutrino Burst Injector . A lot of that is that I’ve never liked the bouncy slicestars and suck at dodging them, but the whole rest of the level is just…off somehow. The floret/leafy background doesn’t really mesh with everything e...

Re: Treasure Eaters and Shikadi Masters
Oh yes you're right! And yet they've still managed to get to it before me a few times Definitely presents an added challenge in making levels with treasure eaters, unless you make it keyless of course.

Re: Favorite Keen game? Take Three!
I'm always torn between Keen 5 and 6. It feels like being forced to tell which of my children I love more, it's an impossible choice. I chose Keen 6 back in 07, and the reasons I loved it then haven't changed. To elaborate, though, I love the mixture of clunky Bloog technology with the extremely wei...

Re: Least favorite Keen game?
Keen Dreams, easily. The concept of fighting evil vegetables is cute, I suppose, and I do like some of the creative choices and design decisions, and certain levels are pretty cool (I've always liked Grape Grove). But the environments and visuals, to me, lack the vibrance and uniqueness that the oth...

Re: First Keen mod you played
I don't remember exactly which mod was the first I played--it would've been so long ago now. It was probably either Norp the Yorp 1: Inside Mortimer's Computer or XkyKeen1. Either way one thing I for sure remember was how enchanted I was with the visuals, the creative repurposing of the original ene...

Re: Treasure Eaters and Shikadi Masters
@Ceilick The Treasure Eater behavior, elaborate as it is, is also pretty hacky and definitely feels overly specialized--I wonder if it really was designed specifically for one level (and the item placement, accordingly, tailored for the weird behavior of the smirky boi)? I feel like they could've co...
