This could easily be Keen 10. Why not? It will be just a part of another trilogy with another story. Besides, Keen 9.5 is already taken.

I agree with you, wiivn. This should be Keen 10, because since he said it's after Keen 9, then after 9 there's 10, so it cannot be 9.5 since 9.5 is taken.
And yes, that's what I wanted to say: Keen 9.5 is taken with the Eight Accumulator title.

Well it doesn't have to be Keen 10, after all it could be just one of several imaginings of what happens after the U-TUIT series, just as Ceilick et al's U-TUIT series was just one of several imaginings of what happened after Goodbye Galaxy!! Allow the Auteur to assign it a name, number or symbol!!

This looks like it's gonna require some great music. The amazing soundtrack of Keen9 leaves subsequent masterpieces a lot to live up to!

Right. Well it seems another one of my projects must take different turn. Why does everyone manage to do things before me? It's maddening!



Looking like a brilliant mod, there seem to be so many we can look forward to!

This is some nice WIP! I don't know why everyone's so obsessed on giving it a number, just because it follows after Keen 9 doesn't necessarily mean it needs to be a sequel.

One thing I've noticed (though I realize that these are early mockups) is that the Neural Stunner and blue-coloured enemy seem to get lost in the background a bit.

:lol that actually looks pretty good wiivn. I even spot a very, very old version of an Atroxian Realm enemy.

These screens are quite nice to look at, but I have to point out that this project isn't anything new. I don't want to sound like an ass by saying this, but I think Ceilick was just releasing these images to show that the project exists. As far as I know, he isn't actively working on it at the moment. So I don't think it makes a lot of sense to discuss what episode number this mod is when it's not even a guarantee.

@Gridlock: I can't any screenshots with other Atroxian Realm enemies. As for the discussion, then let's talk about your game. Atroxian Realm should be Keen 10 then!

For those saying this should be Keen 10, I don't see why it HAS to be a numbered Keen game... Think about it like this; was Keen Dreams "Keen 7?"

Yes, but some refer to it as Keen 7 and the others refer to it as Keen 3.5! You see, if this mod don't receive a number, people will be more confused as to where it is positioned in the series. And because the game is somewhere after the events of Keen 9, but it's not 10, and there is already Keen 9.5, people are gonna give it a number 9.2.5 or 9.7.5 to situate it somewhere anyway. The new ipad doesn't have a number, but everyone refer to it as ipad 3. So to avoid confusion, I would give it a solid number.
