@Nisaba: nope, I won't modify graphics, the graphics will remain as they are. But send me the title screen when you're done, in case you want it included.
@Spleen: Cool, hope you'll get tuit.

Re: InsaLev3 - Keen3 insane minimalism level collection (deadline Nov 1st)
Thanks, both received. I'll extend the time for (at least) a week now, as a few more levels might still appear, including mine which I haven't managed to finish.

Re: InsaLev3 - Keen3 insane minimalism level collection (deadline Nov 1st)
I should finish mine. It's once again possible that the deadline will be extended for a while -- we'll see that soon, depends on the number of levels received at that point.

Re: Level editor programming
I think a lot depends on what the target game is; the more complex the game, the more complex the level editor needs to be. For a tile-based game of Keen's type, with a simple tile layer and a sprite layer, the task isn't all too difficult. (Although that depends on whether you know any programming ...

Levels received, thanks guys!
@Quillax: Good idea with that heart, that would've been better but it never occurred to me. My first idea was to use nuclear waste cans but then I thought those green things would be more amusing.

@proYorp: Cool. When one really thinks about the possible ones, these really are the obvious tiles.
@Xrack: check your mail, there was a problem with the level file!

Re: InsaLev3 - Keen3 insane minimalism level collection (deadline Nov 1st)
200x150 is just too damn large. If I remember right, the maximum vorticons level size is about 16383 (x3FFF) tiles. Your level is 200*150=30000 tiles.

Yes, no ammo implied because no sprites are allowed -- no purpose for shooting.
Also, good luck with your levels guys.

InsaLev3 - Keen3 insane minimalism level collection (deadline Nov 16th)
So, it's time for Keen 3 insane minimalism level collection (deadline extended to Nov 16th). Not a competition this time, although I guess we could poll people's favourite level just for fun. The main idea this time is to take advantage of the temporary invincibility provided by ankh (http://www.shi...

Re: Total points in Keen4 entirely
A great challenge here: get all the points, on hard, without dying (or saving) once. I couldn't do it.

Re: The Ice Factory is about 20 years old!
I hadn't even played Keen 2 or 3 back then and there were already mods? Forgot to reply to this: Nope, mods came a couple of years later once the ability to change graphics arrived. Somehow I've never played The Ice Factory before this thread. Now that I have, I agree it is a very creative level; e...

Re: The Ice Factory is about 20 years old!
^ :lol So true. It's there when I need to throw something together quickly. It's nice to take a break and step back from the complexity of Galaxy and power through a neat little vort mod (which get can very complex, too!). By any common logic people should be doing what is esteemed as less complex, ...

Re: The Ice Factory is about 20 years old!
Yep, it's a milestone. While I wasn't around the time it was released, I've played it later on and it's one of my favourite fan-made levels. It's a great level and the clever way it used ice shooters stunned me. Sigh... Missing Xky's levels... And good Keen 1-3 mods/level packs overall. Has everyone...

Re: Any Vorticons/Dreams music mods out there?
@KeenRush sorry, my bad. I wasn't aware that the initial release also had music in it. As I understood it only the deluxe version features music by Paramultart. No problem. Hm, I didn't say anything about the music. :confused The original does not have music! Any music is an addition -- so perhaps ...
