I'm very sorry, I didn't mean to insult you. Well, yeah, somehow I took this a bit hard (and I'm worry for overreacting, please don't take it personal), with this help offer - not the offer itself, but it's context of me not focusing enouph on "else", without explaining what "else&qu...

I made some progress on the game maker one (mostly working on movement, as the rest will be fairly easy) If you want me to do anything else just tell me. I really want to help where I can, even if I'm not that helpful Great, keep working on it :) "Game Maker" version is good, as it'll all...

Sure, why not?

Sounded cooler when I thought they were on Mercury...:( :( :( much good metals to mine there, though it's very hot and hostile...good place to for Keen to die...if there is a good place to die...... I'm almost sure referring "Mercury mines" (with such interstellar name) to Keen was an inte...

I can put that on the to-do list to revisit later if players really miss it. It works ok as it is, see no need for no tasklist. That post of mine was written before I tested the new version. My feeling on the playfield size is that we should set the maximum as large as we can, then different layout...

What? L.A.? This is not Keenish...it gotta be on some other planet...Why not Mercury?

You could also put some decorative pattern in the 8-pixel wide columns on either side of the playfield if you like. I thought of it - and the best it to draw halfs of the "hard" tile of the particular theme. You can do that without any additional art. Edit: I just noticed that Super Bombe...

The 24 scanlines above the playfield could be filled with a HUD, If you would like to draw that. You could also put some decorative pattern in the 8-pixel wide columns on either side of the playfield if you like. Ok :) Edit: I just noticed that Super Bomberman playfields are 4 blocks narrower horiz...

Thinking of it - sometimes you want to turn, but forget to release previous button...maybe to make new button pressed to override previous one is better concept gameplay-wise than to keep first-pressed one.

I think it's a great idea. With very interested concept. There is a legendary story to be told here....and maybe we'll let the player decide his fate...when there is a price to a decision...we know what Keen chose... Now we need a world map of Mercury. http://www.dogster.com/files/Mercury-60584068.j...

Dr. Kylstein - note current movement still allows pressing more than one button at once - to get diagonal movements etc...
First key you press needs to be the only one active till released AFAIR.

Did anyone try to make a mod about Commander Keen in "Mercury Mines" - so we can find out what happened to him with his fight with Dr. Proton? Could be a cool project.

Wow. you work really fast. Thank you :) I'm known for very fast spriting :) I'm not the best spriter, but sure one of the fastest, I have so many years of spriting and MS-Paint work...it shows. I'm also a hard worker and can sprite from morning to evening, I simply love that. I did spend quite many...
