@Snortimer: Sorry, haven't read your post until now! Thanks, nice to read that you like it. Yeah, including the InsideTheWeb forums is a great idea! However, the download link in your topic doesn't work anymore. Could you reupload it somewhere, please? :) My apologies for the late reply, here you g...

I've tried several times to get past level 3, "Wreck City" on easy mode, and the whole game crashes every time. I have to forcibly kill DOSBox. Here are three save files in which the crash happens shortly after (within a few minutes) no matter what the player does: https://files.fm/u/t2mbv...

Kinda frustrated with Cargo Transit A... I have a vague suspicion that I haven't learned how to use those "air conveyor belts" correctly, as I keep falling through them before the belt ends. Is there any video around so I can check if I'm doing it right? (these things are annoying... just ...

Hey, thought I'd give an update in case anyone else is curious about this graphics stuff. I tried Grafx2 and mtpaint (both highly praised today for pixel art), but neither has an easy way to get at those 8x8 Bayer dither patterns. mtpaint comes closest with its "patterns", but it doesn't h...

Almost as if someone said "hey I've got an idea, what about Jill of the Jungle... for boys!" I say "almost" because it turned out better than most things that start with a concept like that. ;) They did that, it was called 'Vinyl Goddess of Mars' and it's... really something. Na...

Ok, I looked it up and I'm pretty sure that this 8x8 Bayer dithering pattern is what was used in Keen: https://devlog-martinsh.blogspot.com/2011/03/glsl-8x8-bayer-matrix-dithering.html https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NqGXXysf5xY/TXjpYIqahPI/AAAAAAAAAJ0/blKmVWFgv0c/s1600/8x8.jpg I think you had to edit th...

Finally, the colors in general have been changed ever so slightly to be exactly what the game renders. Thanks, Wikipedia article on EGA, for lying to me about the palette and forcing me to figure it out myself with MS Paint. So what are the correct values? Is the Wikipedia article still incorrect?

I already play Keen on my OpenPandora handheld. But this is neat. So are there any videos of it in action? I'd be interested in seeing a video of the process starting from turning on the device to starting the Keen game, to see how long the startup takes and how well the game runs. Also, what's the ...

...I'd like to invite you to put your name on this list as well. If you can, please finish your pixelation. I really like this sort of shading and I'd love to see the whole thing. I... I think I can do it. It would be nice to contribute to a Keen fangame that actually got released for a change. :do...

The thing is we can pull all of our resources together to make a game for Steam or maybe even Switch if it gets that far. In all seriousness, I believe wholeheartedly that we could pull it off. Atroxian Realm exists already. It's something you can play today, even if it's not on Steam or Switch. Th...

I, um... I finally played this for the first time today, playing on Normal level. I'm only about 4-5 levels in, but... I can already tell that this is everything I could have wanted (without even knowing that I wanted it) in an "official" Keen sequel. The atmosphere and the insane level of...

Thanks for the news. Please don't give up! So the patching is all done then? Just the remaining animations, tileset and level design left? How exactly have you sketched out the levels that you already have? Regarding my idea for the trees, this sort of thing, maybe? https://i.imgur.com/WUycvtW.png I...

Hey, I just tried this out (v1.7b). Excellent graphics and thoughtful level design adaptation! But I thought levellass made some patches earlier in the thread to make the Yorps act more like the original ones? To make them do those little half-hops as they move, and make it so that Keen has to jump ...

I remember playing this when it came out! I loved the use of the ice machines. I tried to do something similar in a levelpack that I started making back then, but I never released it. One thing that I find to be strange, though, was that the gap between the releases of The Ice Factory and Flaose's O...

I'm coming out of my multi-year lurking mode just to say that this looks really beautiful. :o You have a real talent for artistic design and good balance. One of the best I've seen. All of those screenshots look so interesting. I'm also going to go against the other quotes a little (sorry) and say t...
