Re: Planet Of Agony (Keen 1 mod)

Thanks. My reply took a bit time because I've been burned out of Keen for a moment, as usually happens when I work on a mod so extensively. Ceilick: Yeah, maybe that story stop wasn't the best of ideas. But then again I had little other choice, I was completely unable to think anything further. Flee...

Re: Four Holy Pogos: Alpha 2 Released

I'm always down for a Keen 1 level pack, but when this was released I was so busy with my mod that I decided not to play anything new until I was done. And then I forgot all about it. But now I've played it, and have to say I liked this pack a lot. The new world map looks nice. I liked the winter le...

Re: Star Wars: The Last Jedi [WARNING: SPOILERS]

I liked it, I liked it a lot! Better than the previous one (and I liked that too) in my opinion. I'm going to see it for a second time later this year. The Luke Skywalker apparition scene alone was mind-blowing enough to top even the best scenes from the original trilogy. My favourite scene. Along w...

Re: Planet Of Agony (Keen 1 mod)

Thanks Ceilick, Nisaba, Malvineous. It's very helpful to read all that. I will work on my time/risk/size level ratio. The most difficult thing is trying to limit oneself from adding more to a level when new puzzle and room ideas keep flowing. But on the other hand that more rational approach will cu...

Re: Planet Of Agony (Keen 1 mod)

There are a lot of opinions in this thread, but you didn't change anything in your mod. Huh? Of course I'm not going to change an already completed mod. :confused I've never seen anyone changing their released mod based on comments it receives. I just don't understand your point. And the difficult ...

Re: Planet Of Agony (Keen 1 mod)

Complaints on level length aside, it really is evident how crafted each and every moment in the levels are. Even the mundane dead end hallways with some points, every path and tile feels deliberate without feeling formulaic. This is what I so wanted to hear! I'm glad that you felt so. I really stri...

Re: Planet Of Agony (Keen 1 mod)

^ Trust the engine and everything becomes so much easier. :) The engine can be difficult at first, but when you really start to understand it in some way that doesn't require so much focus and thinking, it becomes amazing. I find this one of the most solid engines ever with a very unique player move...

Re: Planet Of Agony (Keen 1 mod)

@Nisaba: I'm not the biggest proponent of open source... :disguised Plus it's really bad coding (of which I'm ashamed), uncommented, and not usable at all unless one understands how the program works... By the way, have you had a chance to try this mod yet? I'd like to know what you think -- obvious...

Re: Planet Of Agony (Keen 1 mod)

Thanks for the comments, everyone. @proYorp: It's good that you noticed that mirror thing in levels 3 and 4. I made a custom program that flipped the level data (and changed tiles where necessary, like ceilings to floors), so I kept designing one level and beta testing two. (The second halves of tho...

Re: Commander Keen 1 Gold Edition - pseudo-version 1.35

Man, the new set of levels is excellent! Loved the ambience of these levels. I truly enjoyed playing them. I completed all but the secret level - I haven't found it yet, but I think I will find it one day because I'm definitely going to play this pack again in the future. Great job.

Re: Planet Of Agony (Keen 1 mod)

Thanks for letting me know, everyone. :) I'm so glad to hear that you're still interested in the mod and are going to play it (or currently doing so). I've pretty much forgotten what it means to be busy, what it means to be short on time... I'm a bit too much in my own zone. :o @Plasma Captain: Heh,...

Re: Planet Of Agony (Keen 1 mod)

@Ceilick: Cheers, I think these sprites are my best ever. I've gradually become slightly better at drawing them, and most importantly, I've started to like the design work that goes into them. @Xky: Such a relief to hear that! My day is made. :) Hm, I'm slightly disappointed that there aren't more c...

Re: Planet Of Agony (Keen 1 mod)

Thanks, all. The name of the mod refers to what's in the story and should be a sort of joke - the levels, despite it being by me, are not agony at all, after all! (Or that's what I was intending so obsessively all these months, to make levels that are no more difficult than, say, those in XkyKeen2. ...

Planet Of Agony (Keen 1 mod)

Here's my newest and in my opinion my best mod - Planet Of Agony. It's beyond my capabilities and energy to improve it any further - if I tried, I'd start to hate all of it. I've worked enough on this thing to the point of overdosing. I hope you'll find this mod playable, even enjoyable. I worked ex...
