Re: Shareware Heroes - new book which mentions Keen a lot
I got the Shareware Heroes book and I'm currently reading it. As clump mentioned, the author did a lot of research, including interviews with developers and browsing the internet archive in search for obsolete gaming websites. It really shows, as the book is packed with information and pictures of m...

Re: In search of... Abrams Tank. Hovertank 3d port
As for the ownership of Softdisk titles differing from Keen Dreams, this is what I learnt: - Havoc bought the Hovertank rights, as mentioned earlier. Additionally, based on old ECWolf IRC chat messages, he bought the rights to Shadow Knights. - John Romero bought the Dangerous Dave IP. I learnt thi...

Re: uGrab - a GUI-based EGAGRAPH editor (not just) for Keen source mods
Thank you, that detailed overview was really helpful! I managed to import a test image back into the game with ease. :) I got some inspiration now to dig a bit further into the available tooling (WDC, ModId, ...). I'm thinking of extending the Catacomb 3D page at the ModdingWiki. An up-to-date overv...

Re: uGrab - a GUI-based EGAGRAPH editor (not just) for Keen source mods
When will Catacomb 3D support be added? This might go way beyond the scope that K1n9_Duk3 intended, but I was able to open up the Catacomb 3D graphics with these steps: 1. Copy the CAT3D.EXE and EGAGRAPH.C3D files from the GOG Catacombs Pack to a separate folder. 2. Put the cat3d_softdisk_122.def f...

Re: In search of... Abrams Tank. Hovertank 3d port
Thanks all for the warm welcome! NY00123 is right, I post as Arno at Doomworld. It's nice to know that all the Softdisk / Flat Rock games found new owners. I'm sorry to hear that Richard Mandel passed away. I haven't interacted with him personally, but I'm grateful for the positive impact that he ha...

Re: In search of... Abrams Tank. Hovertank 3d port
A little bit about the history of all this, in case you didn't already know this: That was quite an interesting bit of history, thanks for sharing! I noticed some open ends in your story. I don't have all the answers, but I decided to register just to add a few pieces of the puzzle. Flat Rock no lo...
