Keen Dreams for Android
Hi all,
Just dropping by to say that there's an official port of Keen Dreams now available in the Android App Store. It was done by the Super Fighter Team, who licensed the rights for the game and intend to release it on a few other platforms too.
Apparently there's a web page for it coming soon with some more details, but I believe you can purchase it and play it right now. Looks fun

I was all like, wow it's only 75 (euro) cent.Keening_Product wrote:I was all like "yayyyy!"
Then I was all like "oh... I don't have a credit card."
But then I was all like "my phone is a Nokia brick".
I would definitely buy/play if I could. Though one of my mini-ambitions is to have a Dos laptop or portable device. In which case I would play original Keen Dreams!
And I was like "What? They even charge for this?" Meh. This old game should be freeware, especially for smartphones.
Bulloks. The D-pad looks ugly, generic and uncomfortable. The only good news is that somebody actually has finally bought a keen license, which by its own way is a historical keen event. Woohoo! However I really doubt these fucl will try to actually make a new keen dreams game. Super fighter team? Rather, they'll just squeeze what they can from the existing keen dreams game on the back of those who throw money at them. By the look of the popularity so far, they won't succeed even with that. I'm more interested in how much did they pay for the rights and to whom. Cool find though.
Keening_Product you don't necessary need a credit card. When you buy games from google play, your phone operator just charges you the amount and that affects your phone bill. Alternatively, you can make a visa classic and use your bank account without the need to have a credit card. It works the same way as the credit cards for buying over the internet.
Btw I searched for Commander Keen in google play and found that there is actually a new Commander Keen clone: Commander Smart.

I won't bother trying this, but at least it's free.

More like Commander Copywrite Infringement. It doesn't even mention the source material by name or creators.wiivn wrote: Btw I searched for Commander Keen in google play and found that there is actually a new Commander Keen clone: Commander Smart.
The reviews are enough to keep it from wasting my time.
But the Keen Dreams license is hopefully an ice breaker for some new content in the right direction.
Putting aside the game quality, what infringement are you talking about? It's using original graphics and its own engine.guynietoren wrote:More like Commander Copywrite Infringement. It doesn't even mention the source material by name or creators.
