Keen 64: Release 4
Release 4 is out! Play via Browser , standalone Windows . or standalone Linux . Since most of the changes are visual, with motion, I thought videos would serve better than screens. The images below link to animated gifs and there are original YouTube links (with a better framerate) above each linke...

Re: What if Keen had voices.....
Hey, that's some solid voice work! Not what I was really expecting for Keen (more nasally than what I originally imagined). But what if you did the voice for Mortimer? The idea of having the arch-villain have this nasally \ nerdy voice would serve for a great comedic effect. Either way, well done! :...

Inevitable Myst topic derailment
Ahhhh! I'd recommend checking out realMyst or realMyst Masterpiece edition-- if the original is too hard to get back into.

Re: What if Keen had voices.....
How about stuff that Keen has already said in the story text?
Keen 1:
"Aww Mom, can't I keep him?" (always liked that one, haha)
Keen 4:
"So the Shikadi are planning to destroy the Galaxy, huh?" thinks Billy. "Sounds like a job for...COMMANDER KEEN!"

Re: Ask an American!
Any Americans here familiar with the Australian slang word (Dunny )? I am familiar with it, strangely enough via the game Myst-- what I heard is that the fabled lost civilization of D'Ni was originally going to be called Dunny, but was changed due to that name for the toilet (still pronounced the s...

Re: Questions for Tom Hall
@ComissionerDeWitt haha, many thanks! @Roobar: I forgot to address your other idea, about whether Tom Hall is working on anything else, like a platformer. I think that's a good idea and something I've wondered myself, but I might put that at the end of my conversation with him, since it might seem ...

Re: Questions for Tom Hall
@Roobar: yeah, I mentioned that thread in my double post, but thanks for fleshing it out more :) So how does this sound: "In both the original Keen 4 files and Keen 7 video, there are different colored guns. Were other weapons originally planned?" It sounds kind of minimal (it's actually ...

Re: Keen goes Pi
That is SO cool! It reminds me of my idea to use a Pi to make some kind of PC-based game console, based off of the Gravis Gamepad (basically if Gravis had made their own game system). But with that I'd have more room to work with-- I could hide a powersupply and USB adapters within the case. Whereas...

Questions for Tom Hall
Sorry for the double post, but I just want to start off with a separate mention that we might have some fertile ground about the differences in ray guns, but that might be a minor question.

Questions for Tom Hall
I mentioned a while back in the "GPL" thread and more recently in the "Keen 7 tech demo" thread that I had contacted Tom Hall on twitter and asked him about important Keen issues-- such as a buying back the rights or what he had planned for TUIT. There's a few things I'd like to ...

Re: What if Keen had voices.....
Naturally Commander Keen would sound like a kid, but I hate the current trend of making kids voices really squeaky. I would hope they'd go the "Peanuts" route and make him sound half-way mature. A good example of this trend is how Tails had a more assertive voice in Sonic Adventure 1 , but...

Re: Romero publishes Keen 7 Tech Demo from 1992
Sorry for double posting, but about a week ago, rather than spinning my wheels in the thick mud of speculation, I thought I'd ask Tom Hall about this video, and he got back to me! Here is the entirety of our 140-character conversation , I asked him a few more questions, the last two of which was giv...

Re: Keen 64: Unity (Release 3.5: Level 1)
Thanks for getting back to me ProYorp! Good to know the actual mechanics of the game works-- I will disable that masking shader in the next release, to see if that helps. What games usually work on your computer? Just so I get a feel of its capabilities. Also, what version of Windows are you using? ...
