Commander Keen 3000: Friend or Foe?

szemi · Post by **szemi** » Tue Feb 14, 2012 7:39

hey. since Commander Keen 3000 was abandoned, i decide to pick it up and continue it with "Friend or Foe?" title. of course it's being made with Klik & Play(yeah, i know: good old game-maker software) if it's no problem. it'll take place in either the normal or the parallel universe, so this will be more exciting than Keen 2000.
so stay tuned.

Haha, a new knp game should be interesting. How many years has it been since the last one?

Heh, I've made quite a few Click@Play games back in the old days...probably still have them somewhere. What a nostalgy...
Will it even run on newer comps?

It was the first Game Making software.

But today - why not to go for the modern "Game Maker" software?
Made quite a few games on that platform years ago.

The game will include the 2 DLL files, so it will work

KnP games are still touch and go on Vista/7 even with the DLLs...

Glad to see you're still around, Szemi!
I recommend you not use KnP.
If you still need me to make you that title screen, let me know.

Sorry, i'll use KnP. Hey, titlescreen for what?

Paramultart · Post by **Paramultart** » Tue Feb 14, 2012 18:08

But I insist you don't use KnP. Titlescreen you asked me to... last ye.... erm... Never mind.

Greetings Szemi,

I as well propose, you shouldn't use click and play. Besides the fact it semt to be easy to create basic keen games easily most of them were cheap and not really fun to play.

If you'd like to I will help you to use my "journey to the centre of mars" engine to programm your Keen Fangame.

At the moment it provides a game engine that would allow you to create a Keen game in style of "invasion of the vorticons" with not too much effort. (Worldmap, Pogo, Raygun, Enemies resembling yorps, Vorticons, gargs, butlers, robots and ice cannons are yet implented, point system works, key cards and save states work as well as elevators and quite a lot of other stuff)

You can copy and paste most enemies or objects easily and alter their states to create variations of them. Plus the sound and Graphic support is better than klick and Play.

Furthermore due to the newest updates of the maker engine I could compile the Game in HTML5 which would allow anybody to play the game online.

Just drop me a personal message and I will send you the newest source code plus I will promise to help you getting into Game maker via skype or msn if you'd like to.

Btw KnP sucks

@Paralmultart I know what you say. And please make the titlescreen for me.

@Hagel It's ok since KNP is old software. I'll see, but send the source code of that game-maker engine or something. Anyway first release will be in KnP, then with that source code you mentioned.

Hagel · Post by **Hagel** » Tue Feb 14, 2012 20:10

@ Szemi itÃ‚Â´s definetely not the same. Can you send me a pm with your email address?

I will gladly make the title screen if you make the game as you originally planned for Friend or Foe before you renamed it to that powerpuff girl thing.

There'll be a problem I haven't mentioned: in KnP i cannot capture pictures due to an unknown problem, which i can't explain. That Powerpuff girl thing? How do you mean?
