Yeah bloog control center definitely has a darker feel. As for riding the bloog rocket to the space area instead of the bwb rocket, here's some ideas I just thought of for fun: -Maybe the bwb rocket lands like a plane (even though it doesn't seem to have wheels?) and needs a bit of a runway for take...

Keen sits in the optimal part of the Venn diagram between adults and kids. It is a child-friendly universe but is neither pateonising nor infantilising. That said, in real terms, in 2025, adult engagement with Keen is rooted in a connection to a previous childhood, and is quite unlikely to be due t...

Here's something I've been thinking about. The game industry was primarily focused on children in the early 90s, like kids under 12 years old. Keen was certainly played by children, characters like princess Lindsey were added to the games due to fan mail coming in from children... So in that respect...

Maybe someone can do a cross over with Clouds of Xeen... Clouds of Keen?

Thanks, that's a very fulsome response.

Seems there was a second edition published in 1990 that was a substantial update and would have been much more applicable to what Carmack was doing. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compute ... d_Practice

Cool read! I wonder which edition of Fundamentals of Computer Graphics carmack was using. I googled the book and found copies from 1983, which seemed a little old. Might be fun to peruse that book given it's significance to the classics such as Wolfenstein and doom.

This is really cool, thanks for putting this together to show off the Turbo Shuttle.

Is the code/implementation of the turbo shuttle in Biomenace derived from the moving platforms in Keen 4-6?

PSA, Tom Hall joined the pckf-related discord. Whaat?!? What is he discussing about? Seems like he's just getting acquainted with things right now. A few weeks ago when he freshly joined he was asking for suggestions for mods to check out, and asking about the tools people use to edit keen 4,5,6. O...

Check it out guys, it is as if "Metal" from Keen 6 was a real rock song from the 1970s

Geez I'm so proud of this jump I made a video!

Nice, I was able to get that gun today for the first time ever. In addition, it took me several tries, but with pinpoint accuracy it seems Keen can jump over to the corner in the opposite area and retrieve the gem without needing the moving platform at all! And then it once again took many tries, bu...

This gun is impossible to get without cheat codes right?

I've finished this mod as of yesterday. Clearly, great work can be found within what is known as the first released user-made episode/mod of Xargon. Before getting into more details, I have one question: This is an unofficial version of Uncharted Isle with various prototype levels in it Looks like ...
