Public Commander Keen Forum

December 14 2015 will mark the day that the first Keen trilogy was made 25 years ago.

I'm wondering if anyone will be doing anything special on that day (like a mod or something), I know I am.

Ooooooh cool! I'm trying to cook up a little mod, but with new ideas popping into my head, it gets more and more complicated. It's going to be good though. It's unlike anything anyone has ever seen, but already has seen at the same time. Can't wait to finish it, but life continues to be super busy.

Anyone else think this should be the new Keen Day?

Most game series' use a date the first game was released on, as their point of celebration. Whereas Keen Day is only celebrated on 3-14 because the main character's IQ is the same number. Having a day not shared by Pi day or Einstein's birthday might set us apart as a fandom as well, me thinks.

Woah, I hadn't even thought of this. It'd be hard to think of anything other than 3-14 as Keen day, though.

If it was about a month later, I could probably have Atroxian Realm done for the anniversary. Too bad I don't have any time to work (let alone think) about modding right now with college. I think it'd be cool if we had a season of Keen right around Christmas, though (25 days/years of Keen?).

3-14 is only relevant in America Could we make that Commander Keen day, and release date Keen day? We could totally do that. I mean, why not? More celebration!

Well spotted ScarletFlame. Maybe ID will announce it's reviving the series on that day

Wow, unbelievable. 25 and still going strong. I wish I could get something done for that day, I certainly have ideas, but it seems doubtful. Hope others get good productions done.

So Keen's number is actually 1214. Hmm.

1+2 = 3. Zomg! 314!

It's 3 months away men... Anyway, the Keen day is 3.14. Special things are released on this day.

Operation Stardust for Keen's 25th Anniversary!

I still need to uplaod my level.

Well, I don't really know what to do to celebrate Keen's 25th anniversary, though, I could try to get some stuff from Commander Keen Maker, my Keen fangame done. I might also work on that one mod (and no, it's not the first episode of Go Keen, Go) I have planning out for a while, I just gotta think about more of the story of my mod, and also think about the planet and creatures.

Demos and trailers would be cool. "Hey, that was 25 years; here's what to expect in the next quarter decade."

3-14 is only relevant in America Cheeky

I dunno, Commander Keen is a very American thing and although I am very much an adherent to all the conventions on this side of the Atlantic when it comes to spelling, dates etc, exceptions are to be made when a truly exceptional chunk of American culture comes along. I thus find it quite relevant.

True.

Not if you use the most sensible Standard Global Date:
