Commander Keen in Revival of Bliss

Hello PCKF! I'd like to share some info on my latest mod in progress, which will be the last in the series of Aurora Bliss. It will be a direct continuation of "Initiation Party." The atmosphere will be a mix of wacky, creepy, and cheerful vibes, like the first episode was. I took some ins...

Re: Keen Is At It Again! - My first Keen 1 mod

Oh my, I've written a full review but got caught up in my own things and forgot to post it.  Seeing how Quillax wrote most of the things I was going to say, I am going to keep it short and sweet. Also, I've used cheats to get past the level barriers, and since the problem has been discovered and sol...

Re: Thoughts on the Keen Mobile art style?

I don't think I would mind the art style all that much if the game that they were working on was fun in any way. It looks like a Saturday morning cartoon, with over-the-top facial expressions, goofy-looking characters, and so on. In my mind, this is something that the original game wasn't at all abo...

Re: World Mental Health Day

I've been anxious around people for most of my life. It's never really bothered me until I've entered early adulthood. As you've said, talking about it is difficult since, the way I perceive it, it's not an issue that persists throughout my entire day, but it's there none the less. So it feels like ...

Re: Commander Keen - Canmore's Redemption (RELEASE)

When can we expect some screenshots, for example? Your mods are great, you have interesting ideas and create amazing graphics. Thanks! That means a lot! I could already share some, though I feel that teasing people with screenshots isn't worth doing if most of the game isn't finished. The project i...

Re: Commander Keen - Canmore's Redemption (RELEASE)

I was watching your Dev talk the other day. I completely forgot about that. I do ramble a fair bit when I run out of things to say. Playing a drinking game whenever I say "basically" is a dangerous sport. But thanks for stopping by, Nisaba! Friend with who I was recording, is interested i...

Re: Commander Keen - Canmore's Redemption (RELEASE)

I love to play keen iron man. Some of these levels I just have to save, even on Easy. So I've finished the game! Not sure if I've done every level but I must ask... is there a secret level!!?? Congrats! What did you think of the mod? Yes, there are secret levels. A lot of people wrote hints and how...

Re: Keen Is At It Again! - My first Keen 1 mod

Welcome transporthummel! It's really cool that you're making new levels for your kids :D I gotta say, I am having a lot of fun with this one. The pacing is nice. One level is calm and easy, and the next thing you know, you're running down the corridors in total panic. I love it. Not having ammo seem...

Re: Best image editing program for editing graphics for a Keen mod?

If you haven't already, download the Keen Galaxy Modding Package. It contains mspaint, which you can use for EGA graphics. It won't mess up your colors, no matter what you do with it. You can find it in the "Tools". You can download the package from the Keen Galaxy Modding Tutorial: https:...

Re: Commander Keen - Canmore's Redemption (RELEASE)

I feel that I've gone a little overboard with the difficulty, which might throw some people off the mod, but thanks for sticking by it! Alright, so Skidrow Street, then... Hmm, let me think. The switch for what you're referring to is in the room, which you open with the yellow key gem. The gem for t...

Re: Good introductory guide for Galaxy modding?

I'd be happy to help if you run into trouble, though as TsK said, you most likely won't if you keep it nice and simple.

Re: Good introductory guide for Galaxy modding?

I am not as experienced as some of the modding veterans here, but Ceilick's Galaxy modding tutorial is the best way to go. It covers the essentials and advanced stuff too. I've encountered a lot of memory and crashing issues once I started making my mods, but errors are well documented on the KeenWi...

Re: Are mods better than the official games?

I couldn't agree more with Syllypryde. Often, games that are made by large teams of people, lack soul and creativity. They aren't made to stimulate our senses, but to dull them. For example, you can clearly see love and compassion in games such as Undertale or Stardew Valley, which were obviously pa...

Re: Are mods better than the official games?

I was just thinking the other day about the same thing. I've come to the conclusion that nostalgia is a strong factor that can't really be ignored. Like Troublesomekeen said, I replay the original titles every now and then, and mods not as much, but I can't deny that my childhood memories are heavil...
