The Keys of Krodacia: Revision Discussion
Hmmm, to be honest, I liked the music. It gives a sense of creepiness that combines well with the overall atmosphere. Krodacia is supposed to be a mystic planet, right? There are magi, monks (fat), dark temples, etc.
You have probably noticed this but I will mention it just in case - there is a nasty mistake in the game's ending. When Mort appears for the first time he tells Keen that "their is no escape."
It should be "there is no escape."

Dunno how progress is going on this game, but I wrote another song. Maybe you can use it? I couldn't think up a name for it though...I'm bad at naming .imfs.

The description of the gems, "Floating in the sky are gems," sounds too much like it was ripped from Keen 4. Maybe it should go...
"Special translucent gems can be found scattered throughout Kordacia. These gems are a vital energy source, and if Keen collects one hundred gems, he gains an extra life!"
Also, the ordering info section of the Help screen should be updated with all the info in that of Keen 9.
I may have mentioned this already, but the large, scrolling "COMMANDER KEEN" letters in the opening credits should be recolored, green in this case, to match those on the title screen.
And when Keen gets the next to last key, he should say something like, "All right! Just one more to go!"

Jayo, the main problem I see with that suggestion about the next-to-last key, is that the game only checks to see if you have all the other Council Members or not when you collect one - if you don't, it gives the conversation that's keyed to that Council Member and boots you back to the world map on Level Completion. Adding something that checks whether or not you have just one more to go or not would probably require some improbable coder's tricks.
There was something here, but my yorp ate it.
Actually, IIRK Keen says something different based on how many members he's collected, and not which one he rescues. It could plausibly be patched to this end, I think.

As far as I'm aware, this revision is not being worked on at all. I don't think Ceilick has time for Keen right now.
If I can finish Atroxian Realm in a timely manner, I might consider stepping up to do some of these revisions (with Ceilick's permission, of course). As much as we'd all like to see an improved version of the game, I'm not sure the community has the time and resources to make it happen right now. But hey, it's always fun to discuss ideas.
