Public Commander Keen Forum

Ah yes, and of course the military will reestablish the democracy just like they promised. No chance of another dictator rising here, no sir! There's always hope; what was the alternative? More dictatorship? A bloody revolution (to lead to more dictatorship) wasn't likely. This may be a chance to s...

*A woman emerges from the ruins. It's hard to tell her age; she seems young yet there are marks of wear upon her. She's thin and gaunt, malnourished and shaking as if with cold. Her hair is unkempt and filthy, her clothes rags. She stares at you - through you- with cold, empty eyes. She's an addict ...

Granted. Now you have to enter the lottery each time you buy one, a randomly drawn number dictates what you'll pay. Your first issue costs you $37.50.

I wish this thread was broken.

Nisaba... are you ok? I didn't understand any of that at all. What time of night did you post that?

Looking good, looking good. I'm almost tempted to whack up an editor. I think Keenwave works with the sounds.

I have all the patch wiki stored as MHT files, should the worst occur and te entire internet collapse. It's surprisingly compact, 76Mb or so.

If you want to have a chance at a commercial game you can't just ask someone - that's like going up to a movie producer and saying "hey I have this great idea for a movie!" You and about a million other people, most of whom will give up as soon as the hard work starts. So nobody is going ...

Granted. Kevin Spacey then informs you WHY it's sticky, but only after you already touched it.

I wish I had a mustache.

It's also possible to patch the Keen games to take different keyboard layouts like Dvorak, which is fun.

You think that's bad? I encrypted my last release's graphics and levels. None can extract them, NONE.


This is actually mostly done, around 70 or so levels. But my unemployment has pretty much frozen all my projects.

*Cries for mods that may never be*

Still working my way through this, it truly does deserve its name as GOLD.

I think it's a bug; or at least an oversight. They just didn't have time to make it an alternate way to complete the level.

I think taking this game apart has been more fun than the actual game itself. Does it have a moddingwiki page? We can now extract\edit a large part of the game now. As a side note, I have often wondered what it would be like to go back now and write a DOS game to run on early 90s hardware, but using...

This is why I prefer to make my secret areas not gymnastically difficult to get to, just really well hidden. My current project has entire secret levels squirreled away.

This game... this game... I wish I had the free time to poke about in it more, just for he obtuseness of its formats. I'd really have liked to have been there to hear some of the programming choices they made. Keen is delightfully robust, Duke II is astoundingly capable, this... "EGA in PCX for...
