Re: Foray in the Forest
Congratulations on finally releasing this mod, Nisaba! I'm sure that feels really good! And I bet Mr. M is very proud! I've tried this out a couple times; I started on Normal (my usual difficulty of choice), but then I switched to Easy (having an ammo limit makes it harder). So far, I've beaten 6 le...

Re: What mods and level packs have replay value?
I don't really play mods (and games in general) very often these days; when I decide to play one, I'll most likely play something I haven't played before, or play something that can easily be beaten in less than a few hours. It takes time to play through a mod, especially if it's a full-length one. ...

Re: Foray in the Forest (development thread)
I knew it! I knew it! I knew Foray in the Forest would come out in Christmas! :christmas Do I get a cookie for guessing correctly? Though, according to Nisaba's signature, FitF is already out in our local grocery stores. Anyone willing to verify that? I'll have to check mine. Anyway, I hope this wil...

Re: KeenWiki: Unresolved issues and missing downloads
I uploaded Flash Keen to our server. Unless I missed something, that was the only thing to upload at the moment, right? Sweet! Thanks, Nisaba! In the Flash Keen .zip file you uploaded, I'm not sure if the first 6 files (i.e. anything that's not a .swf or .dat) are really needed to play the game or ...

Re: Commander Keen in Revival of Bliss
:O I gasped when I saw the thread title, and my jaw dropped when I saw those screenshots! That title screen is perhaps the coolest one I've ever seen! And the 4th screenshot really gives me strong Ishtar III (from Commander Keen 2000) vibes -- the yellow sky, pink ground, the "weird sh**" ...

Games that embody the spirit of creativity, exploration, and experimentation with computers
Neat article I've read a couple times: https://lateblt.tripod.com/games2.htm What I really like about this list is the sheer amount of unconventional choices listed -- games that I wouldn't expect to see in any other list. I've only heard of like a few of the games listed. Also, most of these games ...

Re: Keen Is At It Again! - My first Keen 1 mod
Got a KeenWiki article started, although it needs a little work: https://keenwiki.shikadi.net/wiki/Keen_Is_At_It_Again! I've played through the entire levelpack, and I must say, this was very fun! :) You've got talent in designing levels, I'll say! The level design kinda reminded me of my old levels...

Re: OFF TOPIC THREAD: Where derailing the thread is impossible!
Am I the only one who feels that the quote boxes blend in too much with the posts? Back when we had the previous custom skin, before Fleexy took over ( example ), the quote boxes were white and had dark grey lettering, making it easy to not mix up the quotes with the author's actual writings. Here's...

Re: KeenWiki: Unresolved issues and missing downloads
Alright, I've got quite a lot to say, so I'll divide it into sections: NEW ISSUES I added Merge [Therealdopefish's 1st Levelpack] with Therealdopefish's 2nd Levelpack? to the list. Personally, I feel like the 2nd levelpack is sort of an update to the 1st one, since the former retains all the levels ...

Re: Authorship of the official Keen levels
This is something I've been thinking about as well, and I'm glad to see that you've asked Tom Hall and John Romero about this, Pandakeen. Has Tom Hall shared the authorship yet? What about Romero? It'd be really cool to find out who made what levels. Imagine analyzing the levels and seeing if Hall a...

Re: PCKF IRC?
I'm really surprised that the PCKF IRC channel is still up to this day! :eek Does anyone still chat in there, or has the Discord server completely sapped out the members? Actually, it'd be really cool if there are people still hanging out in the IRC channel! I remember going there a few times for Ne...

Re: Beta testing for Commander Genius
Welcome to PCKF, SmilerB! That's a very impressive list; you sure like playing mods (just like the rest of us)! Do you have a favorite? There's a few mods on this list that made me raise an eyebrow, like Sunset and Keen 58, which are some of the most extensively patched mods around. I'm sure Command...

Re: Could Tom Hall Make New Keen Games Using This Method?
Ah, yes, indeed! Link: https://twitter.com/ThatTomHall/status/1720808082807095629#m Will we see a your take on Doom level? Somedayyyyy That would be pretty cool to see! Quick question: Is Doom level editing easier than Keen level editing? I'm not very familiar with Doom modding. Since Doom seems to ...

Thoughts on the Keen Mobile art style?
So, I'm sure a lot of us remember when the infamous Keen Mobile was shown a few years ago. It received a very negative reception, with a lot of the criticism directed at the different gameplay and the fact that it's on smartphones only. One aspect that I see get a more mixed reception, however, is t...

Re: Are the games' physics documented anywhere?
Have you checked out K1n9_Duk3's recreated Keen 4-6 source code ? It all seems to be written in C++, though I don't know how easy that is to follow. Keen 1-3 has yet to have a fully recreated source code, so something like Commander Genius or VortaKeen is going to be about as close as it gets for no...
