Great job, this looks really cool and succeeds at what it tries to do. I especially like the stairways.

I'm happy with the pack. As I was before and as I was hoping to be again, many times I was stunned by some of the ideas (and my stoopidity for not thinking of them). This is exactly why I hope my future modding is collaborative mods, people just think so differently. As for my level, I tried not to ...

^ I haven't seen any! I've totally missed them in case they've been here. Can you give me a link, Nisaba? I'm curious if the mental image i've created solely from your writing matches you at all.

Which one are you? This is why I told everyone to give the name you want to be credited as along with your level, because I don't know who you are otherwise...

Ok, here's the InsaLev3 level pack for Keen 3, brought to you by Keeners. To play: take a fresh copy of Keen 3, extract and replace files, run "unlzexe keen3.exe" in DosBox command line, then run play.bat. You don't need to do the unlzexe part again if you play again later (in case someone hasn't do...

^ Nope, didn't receive a level from him.

Alright, it's over. I'll start to put the pack together. It might be out today or tomorrow. The release date, after all, wasn't specified.

That looks really cool! Thanks for previews. Can't wait to play.

Yep, just waiting to see if any more appear via e-mail. A week will fly by - at least for me.

^ Thanks.

Anyway, I extended the deadline again, till 16th, but that shall be final. I have 10 levels (and my still unfinished one) so it's looking good.

Edit: Finished my level. It took like 5 minutes to do that but somehow it took me like two weeks to do 5 minutes.

@Nisaba: nope, I won't modify graphics, the graphics will remain as they are. But send me the title screen when you're done, in case you want it included.

@Spleen: Cool, hope you'll get tuit.

Thanks, both received. I'll extend the time for (at least) a week now, as a few more levels might still appear, including mine which I haven't managed to finish.

I should finish mine. It's once again possible that the deadline will be extended for a while -- we'll see that soon, depends on the number of levels received at that point.

I think a lot depends on what the target game is; the more complex the game, the more complex the level editor needs to be. For a tile-based game of Keen's type, with a simple tile layer and a sprite layer, the task isn't all too difficult. (Although that depends on whether you know any programming ...

Levels received, thanks guys!

@Quillax: Good idea with that heart, that would've been better but it never occurred to me. My first idea was to use nuclear waste cans but then I thought those green things would be more amusing.
