Re: MILDLY NEAT -- For all your random Keenery needs!
Ah, ok, thanks. I've got to say, both of the things it generated above lack some taste or imagination and are like when a bad artist extends an existing work but just makes it more lame. In the first pic, the muscles on their arms are in bad taste (they're kids, they should just have kid arms) and d...

Re: MILDLY NEAT -- For all your random Keenery needs!
Who/what is doing these art extensions? Is there a website?
I'd be curious to see what an extension of some of the in-game pixel title art would look like...

Re: Aspect ratio correction
I don't... I think when I started playing Keen, I had a 486 DOS computer with an SVGA monitor, but somehow I don't remember it being vertically stretched. Could be that my memory's playing tricks on me. Later, I played them on Windows 95, then 2000, then through DOSBox. I guess it would also look od...

Re: Suburb Shenanigans
Sure, I see that now. But if one version is clearly recommended over the others, maybe it should be bolded - seems like it would be the least intrusive way. Marking v1.1 "newest" isn't quite right, after all - at least if one is browsing quickly, one could be forgiven for assuming that it ...

Re: Suburb Shenanigans
Oh, I actually see that v 1.2 is linked on the wiki and it seems to be that version. But it's confusing because there are 4 download links and it's the 2nd one down, right below the one marked "newest", and the "latest update" listed in the infobox is 2019. You'd have to actually...

Re: Suburb Shenanigans
You can however download a more polished / updated version of this mod which addresses most known bugs and glitches. Note however that this comes as an unofficial version put together by another community member called K1n9_Duk3. To download this overhauled version make sure to visit this post over...

Re: What Music Are You Listening To?
I found a neat website recently - https://www.radio.garden It's a 3D map of the world, and you zoom in to listen to the radio stations in a particular place. It's interesting, but also rather depressing how many of them play exactly the same stuff, even in the most out of the way places. Still, I di...

Re: Least favorite Keen game?
3 and Dreams, for all the reasons people have mentioned. Although if we're talking just about POTENTIAL, 3 has the more interesting ideas and could've been good if only the level design had been better done. Keen 2 also had lots of scary and unfair-seeming enemies, but the level designs were done in...

Re: Retrosis [Second Incremental Release! July 29, 2010]
Attracted by the attractive graphics and high praise, I loaded this up and played it on the bus today. It is obviously unfinished (the original stunned Yorp and dead Keen graphics felt especially out of place, as well as the blue rectangle that appears when you exit a level), but what was there look...

Re: Keen 6 Least Favorite Level?
I'm voting for Bloogfoods here, as something about the feel of this level stresses me out. And it feels too easy to fall onto something dangerous. I don't actually mind Bloogton Manufacturing, by comparison. I agree that Bloogton Towers is annoying, with all the waiting for GoPlats. Not annoying eno...

Re: [Poll] Sound in Keen 1 to 3?
I think that if I listened to other things while playing them, I would do what you do and turn the sound off.
But I never do that, so I always have the sound on. Though sometimes very quietly, if I need to be quiet.

Re: The Sunnylands (K4 levelpack)
I've started playing this on Normal difficulty today and it is a very nice levelpack! A good mix of easygoing exploration and challenge. I like that the challenges tend to be clearly noticeable, so they don't jump out at me suddenly - I can see the challenge and can choose to meet it... Or not! &quo...

Re: Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure II: HUMANIZED!!! (W.I.P.)
Man, this is a real shame. Cosmo's one of my favourite games from that era besides Keen, and I was looking forward to this. Seems like graphics and music and story weren't a problem. What about the level design? Had you started on that? I wonder if all the stuff you finished could be organized and &...

Re: Foray in the Forest - pre-release / call for playtester
That image in the bottom right, there - nice to know that the background revision that I started making (with fewer black lines) did finally get finished by someone else. I'm sorry that I kinda disappeared! To be honest, if someone had bugged me about it I would've come back and finished it myself. ...

Re: Commander Keen in Platform Builder...
I'm curious in what it looks like when you create the levels and game-play settings, on the back end. Do you have any videos or screenshots of that?
