Yeah, I had a feeling this was truly fake. The pictures had too many colors for an EGA palette (maybe 20 instead of 16). It's most noticeable on the poison slugs. XD

T-Squared but you didn't read that it was running on Unity and supports svga graphics :).

BTW I forgot to put this too, if you remember the earlier teaser:

It looks really cool on Super AMOLED.

Abandoning it already? Some people are so lazy.

How comes? Why on earth you should post something like this? I've never started such a project to begin with. I'm working on other things... This was intended only for April 1-st. Btw I was hoping there will be more April's fools except mine and the Billy the Blazehog meme.

Took me a bit to notice that was a GIF and not a real video applet. Nice.

Took me not much time to notice...very low resolution, and no buttons are working...then I quoted the post just to make sure it's inserted as an image.

When this was posted - for a moment I thought I was pranked as well, and it's a real game...

It's ok, most Tower Defence fans never heard of Commander Keen either :)

So it's a project idea for hire? :) Maybe someone will actually make such a mod.

I love the idea! I've been looking for a good tower defense game, and if you program it for dos then it will be more portable to platforms I like :dopekeen

I find this to be rather surprising. Tower defense games are absolutely everywhere these days, in many [graphical] variations.

Oh, now we have a name for it :)
Man, I don't think I even named Keen creature :)
Maybe "DoomJedi Monster" will get a name? Maybe it'll be a cameo in my works, like DopeFish? :) :) :) Need to make a backstory for it. He probably loves water...

What's a good name? Letme think.... Something Keenish....Clawgoo? :) Clawmove? Goospike?...no, too much like Nospike...
Clawlot? Everclaw? Mergeye? Goobite? Tooeye? Clawhand? Clawleg?
Dopeclaw? :) :) :)
...I think I need more time on this....

How would you name it?

Something related to what it is? Its a lake monster...so lake-ster might be too corny. But that's the idea I would start with. Don't be shy to use a thesaurus either.

There's alot of algae in a lake, so algaer? (algae + monster) My examples aren't the best, but the idea is that you could also name it based on association to what it is (so stuff related to monsters and \ or lakes). Using Lockness as a reference to monsters works too (which I assume Messie was in reference to back in Keen 3).
