That is cool work, Gagster. Very subtle changes but they're most certainly there and tastefully so. That said, the magic of EGA, which will never lose its appeal for me, is how the brain fills in the gaps so the human eye sees simple vanilla keen as looking like what you've made. To me, I can see th...

I love Keen2 so delighted to see these! These are nice levels, keeping the atmosphere and spirit of Keen2, with some slightly more Keen1ish feel in some areas spatially speaking. Substantially sized levels, which are quite challenging but not unreasonably so. It would certainly be worth your while p...

I must also put in a word for the Vorticons mods, a lot of which have been of extremely good quality and high entertainment value. As far as having a production value and sheen of maturity in the presentation and delivery, to a level that would easily rival commercial releases from the early 90s, I ...

Double post... anyway the NWOBHM show has come to pass and was highly enjoyable. Uriah Heep, the outfit I've listened to the least, were okay, but played a short set (as expected as the first act) and seemed slightly bitter about this fact (citing how they're the seniormost of the bands with the ear...

as long as you understand C I think the playing field has become more uneven because of this! I can't programme anything more complex than a 1997-era HTML homepage. But that is an entirely separate conversation. But otherwise I agree with the points you've made! I think that the creative work that ...

Congrats to all after a remarkable year of Keening. It was always going to be difficult for both Nisaba and Dave216 to get the deserved recognition so I'm glad both have been represented, as both are incredibly creative people. I'm also delighted to see awards to Levellass, one of our longstandingly...

I would definitely want to classify source mods as mods and not as fangames. This is based on the aesthetic and gameplay experience more-so than what's going on under the bonnet * . Though I would imagine the recreated source code is very similar to the real source code given how accurate the end re...

Happy Keen Day to you all!!

Apologies if this has been asked/answered before. But has Keen6 Demo ever been modded? And where would the legality stand - assuming it was modded in the "traditional" way, using an unmodified (other than UNLZEXE) engine directly from the demo and using no assets (either audiovisual or oth...

So it was McAfee "Livesafe" that was deleting it. (This has been on my laptop since I bought it in 2016 apparently though I never recall consciously opting into it... that's how software goes nowadays). Anyway their interface is do dumbed down and simplified and I could find no way to whit...

I like that idea. It would be a nice little boost of praise for a modder/artist/creator to see this in a response on their release thread. I guess the only thing is, which award is the nomination for? Or does that get decided at the time of the awards? Do we just put it in brackets after the hashtag...

Today I returned to my Vorticons project only to find weirdness with Mindbelt. I use Windows 10. When I double click the mindbelt.exe (which sits in the development folder of the mod and is an exact copy of what I was using a few months ago), it fails to open and the exe deletes itself! How odd. The...

How long is a piece of string?! Pandakeen already basically answered the question. Your motivation will wax and wane, so this is something you should expect . You can work with this by force (insisting on a deadline for yourself) or by riding the waves of inspiration and letting them dictate the rat...

!! I am very excited. Madhouse Express Must check them out. I should also listen to your band! This evening I saw Enter Shikari. Had not listened to them before. An intriguing mix, with at least 25% of the show consisting of the heavy kind of 2000s rock I was hoping to hear. But a lot of more Ed Sh...
