Public Commander Keen Forum

The right isn't being denied at all. We have a (reasonably) dedicated team of mods and admins who spend most of their administrative time cleaning up these spambots, and relatively promptly. The board is hardly overrun, like I've seen some (totally gone), and remember, this service is graciously pro...

There's at least one V2/keengraph compatible version of Mindbelt floating around somewhere. Although you might have been referring to Lass' level mapper?

Given the inconsistency of animated tile frames/enemy sprite frames, I'm inclined to say that these were taken as a whole bunch of individual screenshots and then stitched together by hand. Time-consuming, to say the least. Fairly indicative maps could be much faster created by opening levels in a s...

Surely, then, you'd just have the mines on the "hot side"? Or at least send people there when the mines are sunward.

The flaming wreck in the bottom-right corner really sells it.

I assume Lass is referring to development time anyway, which may or may not correspond to release time in any way. I wasn't aware 6 came out or was developed in anything other than chronological order anyway, so this is News To Me.

A shame a "gibs" patch as seen in ValKeen probably isn't as feasible in Vorticons, no?

Mom there is way too hyped about that.

As I understand, the papers Lass gets to discuss here are coming out of an American institution, who is also reponsible for the site at large.

Anyway, neat! I don't have even half the scientific knowledge required to make head or tail of what's being talked about, but that only serves to inspire awe.

Airiel - Funerals Some music recommendations were getting thrown about near me, albeit not specifically at me, a day or two ago. This was one - floaty shoegaze stuff, sort of a dreamy quality to it. While I was in shoegazing land, I also took a moment to get hyped about the festival I'm going to in...

If I recall, yes, you did unlock new ships along the way. While this is a nice touch, my point still stands. If I had been incapable of beating the higher difficulty levels at first, I might have sufficed to play on Normal initially, but since I was not aware beforehand I started at Normal, not know...

Personally, I think that it's at the very least excusable (if maybe not entirely preferable) if the player is made aware of the lost content in advance, if the content is sufficiently tangible ("good endings" are exempt). A particularly sour experience I had with this recently was with the...

I don't think Lass has ever been opposed to the notion of modding. Each of her posts is a rich baklava of commentary. Layers and layers of flaky, delicious facetiousness and irony must be cut through to decipher her true opinions. On the original topic, renaming keen1.exe is a bad idea and you shoul...

"Public Commander Keen Forum Forum ." In fairness, that mistake exists only in the "forum index" link, and is the fault of phpBB2's "[insert title] Forum Index" schema there. Since the formal title of the forum ends with "Forum", we get redundancy. Yet anothe...
