Re: Fleex & Markeen's Keen 5 Level Pack

Yes, that would be great, thank you!

Sorry for the long delay. But today I passed my thesis defense and will soon be Mr. Fleex, M.Sc. :disguised Hopefully I'll have more time for Keen projects now!

Re: Fleex & Markeen's Keen 5 Level Pack

Thanks for the wiki article and title screen, Nisaba! I'd say that graphic is a good representation of the original Markeen output :mort Also thanks to everyone who reported glitches, particularly NY for the thorough collection of screenshots. For this Keen Day I have a revised version of the pack w...

Re: Fleex & Markeen's Keen 5 Level Pack

Thanks everyone for playing! I do have a few minor bug reports for Defense Tunnel Ahm: Nice catches, thanks! Fixed to the extent possible in my local copy. Perhaps I'll be pointing the obvious: at certain point you know when a level is randomly generated. Once you know it, you know it. That certain ...

Re: Fleex & Markeen's Keen 5 Level Pack

I also noticed that one or two 1up secret areas, I can't remember which, seem to be unmanageable. IIRC two of them require to drop onto a moving platform. Thing is, that you can't really locate Keens position as he walks behind foreground tiles. this makes things unnecessarily hard IMO. And indicat...

Re: Fleex & Markeen's Keen 5 Level Pack

I recorded my sessions and thought I would share them with you. At least for me it always feels rewarding to see other people struggle with my creations This is great, thanks! You're good at finding secrets. I now understand what you mean about the level borders. Especially with the original game b...

Re: Fleex & Markeen's Keen 5 Level Pack

While talking about glitches here are some further tile info errors I came across: Thanks for the detailed reports. Markeen was very inconsistent about solid vs. not when forming platforms, leading to climbing glitches. I fixed most of these when making the levels, but clearly not all! I fixed the ...

Re: Fleex & Markeen's Keen 5 Level Pack

Thanks for playing! I'm glad you had fun. To me the overall environment had this alien technology kinda vibe as some areas where structured in a way I really wouldn't have expected them to be. I'm pretty happy with that vibe. My early failed attempts at Galaxy modding had a lot of very boring, regul...

Fleex & Markeen's Keen 5 Level Pack

Happy new year, PCKF! I'm excited to release a somewhat new kind of level pack: a collaboration between myself and Markeen. Several years ago I released some development snapshots of Markeen , a random Keen Galaxy level generator. It's still very far from creating playable levels, but it can create ...

Re: Welcome to the migrated PCKF!

Thanks! :)

The upgrade is complete. We now have faster and unbounded (within reason) storage. You may need to flush DNS and/or do a hard reload to reach the new server.

Re: Favorite PCKF threads

Yeah, non-ASCII characters got misencoded in the forum migration a few years ago. Some of them, particularly curly single quotes, got mangled into illegal character sequences that PHP chokes on. I fix the major issues as I find them - all the threads you linked should at least be able to load now - ...

Re: Keen Awards 2020: Winners

The poll threads were archived to a hidden subforum to avoid clogging the topic lists with the many small threads. I think Grandy02 has screenshots of the results saved - but if not and if there's interest, I can make a screenshot album of the final results. I'm sorry that I was so inactive again th...

Done, though this thread's ID changed due to a bit of an oops on my part.

Re: Welcome to the migrated PCKF!

phpBB recognizes some automated web crawlers, like search engines or web research bots. I had rate-limited those two quite a while back, but apparently they're more active now. We don't get any value from Ahrefs or Semrush, so they are hereby blocked. (The change might take a bit before becoming eff...
