I had read a bunch of his posts, I didn't spend time looking at every topic as eventually I figured I had probably found all the variations. I was just wondering if there was any rhyme or reason to his reposting of this particular message. I suppose I will not receive an answer before a mod returns...

Wouldn't Duke 3D also count as a 2.5D shooter? The map is pretty detailed 3D but all the actors, items and things to interact with are 2D sprites... Yes, absolutely. It was made from the in-house Apogee 3-D engine, which was a ray-casting 2.5-D engine. I read about this a few weeks ago, it's pretty...

Is there a reason why my old comment about feeling that it's dumb to be livid about foreign video games/media is being quoted, corrupted, and posted everywhere? And Levellass's comments as well? I don't understand. I think Para just took posts partially at random and partially not, and spammed up t...

Re: Reflection Keen (ports of Keen Dreams and all 3D Catacom

UPDATE (Mar 13 2015): It's a little bit overdue, but finally there is a title for the whole codebase now, not just specific source ports. It shouldn't be a surprise, but this name is Reflection Keen. This comes from a release which, along with some other modifications, has experimental "modern...

Thanks for the kind words :) I actually ran into a problem, the extracted sounds are unfortunately not the Soundblaster ones but the PC Speaker ones which are not what I need :( Is there also a pack with the Soundblaster files? I happen to still have that pack of sound rips from way back when I was...

Hi guys, I've created a pack containing all of the music tracks from CK4 remade from the ground up. It's meant as a replacement of the original AdLib soundtrack, if you're, for example, writing a new game or need more modern sounding music for your engine. Check it out on YouTube: https://www.youtu...

I've never finished my game either :( Yeah, it's a rough go. Programming your own game engine (even with the aid of something like GamerMaker) along with drawing your own graphics, etc, is no small task, but honestly, I did find it rather enjoyable to solve small problems and make tangible progress...

I'm looking into a library for C++ called SDL, and placing my engine on top of that. Software rendering or OpenGL? I've successfully used OpenGL for a neat tile-based engine, sidestepping SDL completely. But I kinda wanted to do a project like that from scratch. Software rendering, although I will ...

As a general comment : I haven't "officially" announced this project yet, and I won't for some time because this is in the extreme alpha-phase and 100% in my limited free-time, but I'd like to give little mini-updates. So from now until I give an official announcement of what I'm doing, I...

Now that I'm thinking about it, I'm pretty sure that I discovered the bullet riding trick. I know I discovered that you could stand on the bullets on the ground, but I think that I also developed the riding trick, and I think I even once managed the bullet double jump. But that was so long ago, it's...

Well, this thread started in late January of 2012, it's currently early October 2015. This means that this thread has been going 3 years and 8 months. So roughly 100 pages / 3.66 years. So extrapolating, that would make it very late 2022 or early 2023, yes.

Keen 6 speed run in 5:25 (with glitches)

So this probably was a topic some time, but I just found it again and I think it's pretty cool: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9SeCIBXZSk He also did it in 5:25 more recently . He also did speedruns of Keen 4 and Keen 5 . BTW: This guy, Cosmo, (I'm curious if it's a reference to Cosmo's Cosmic Adv...

Well I think I went too far, too. Sorry, Bernie. I'm just very nervous lately. My friend tried to commit suicide a few weeks ago. She smiled and laughed and told everyone how much she loved them. Then disappeared from the net for a few days. Then called me on Skype and told that she ate pills and s...

Guys, seriously, where Levellass? Anybody can contact her? She lives in Syria? There's a real hell! Isn't Levellord the same person as Levellass? According to KeenWiki, they are friends. It does say that, I'm just not convinced that it's true. Did Levellord even register on these forums? I used to ...
