^^ I'm laughing at those screenshots from the beta testing because in all honesty, I think I was lucky enough to not have anything THAT crazy happen...No, instead I had items give me random scores.

Considering how good Keen 7 was, and how much Keen 8 improved upon Ceilick's modding abilities... one can only imagine how mind-blowing Keen 9 will be. This really went above and beyond what I was expecting, even with the little hints and tiny previews Ceilck sent me when composing. I still cannot p...

Got it! Vista sometimes blocks certain files if they came from a different computer. I guess compiled help (.chm) files are one of those. If the help file doesn't open properly, try right clicking the Help file, click 'Properties' and select 'Unblock' on the 'General' tab. That did the trick for me.

Adding insult to injury..nice


And a note to Vista users:
You may not be able to view the help file. I know I wasn't able to.
I got a "Navigation to Webpage was Cancelled" error.
I'm running Vista Ultimate SP1

Nice ending! I made a savegame from the 6th beta just before the end. Just a heads-up: Getting the ending seems to be hit-or-miss... I killed the final boss once and got nothing. I left the level and re-entered, killed him and got the ending. Don't know why, but whatever. I've finally played it star...

-The music is top notch. If you disliked the music in Keys of Krodacia, you'll have nothing to complain about here. If I dare say so, some of the songs rival Bobby Prince's work on the originals. I know Im double posting, but I didn't catch your comment til it was too late, Arjak -- Thanks! It's go...

I just sent Ceilick the last song a few minutes ago.
I'm just as excited about the final release as everyone else is!

Who knows, this might be a good use for my music tracks that didnt quite make the final cut of Dead in the Desert?

New sounds? Make them, of course! I've already tinkered around with making new level enter and exit sounds.. not sure how Keenwave will interpret them.. I've been working on music as much as I can. I've got a final next week for my last summer class (mechanics of solids... :barf ), so that's where m...

WTF is going on in this world? 4 Celebrities have died in the last week or so...

Ed McMahon
Farah Fawcett
Michael Jackson
Billy Mays

Whats going on?
And they say celeb's die in 3's... So we've had one block of 3, now there's another block of 3 started. Who's gonna be next?

Actually, i could just mail you one of my university textbooks...lotsa pictures in there you could use...or find it in e-book form somewhere.

Mechanics of Solids, 7th Ed. by R.C Hibbeler.

Lotsa good pictures and diagrams that should help.

PS-I abhor that book.

Conveyor belts, mechanical gears, robotic apparatus stuff, shifty supervisors..boxes/crates. That kinda stuff.

Just throwing it out there.

I'm always skeptical of stuff like this, but when my virus scan came up clean I gave it a try. Looks great! It works perfectly on my system, with shading and floor/ceiling textures on. I got 60fps the whole time running, and I had Outlook and Firefox running at the same time. Although the CPU usage ...

All this talk and buzz on DitD is making me want to start working on my own mod of Keen 4. I at least have a concept and story penciled down. ...That's beside the point. I have one tip for music, especially for ZidaneA: Set IMFCreator to 560 tics/sec in the "Options" menu (Keen uses 560 Hz...

It's all up to Ceilick, really.

But quicksand might be possible if you modify the moving water tiles (theyre found at the bottom of the level in Bloogwaters Crossing). They behave in a manner similar enough it might be feasible to do it.
