introduce myself and a permission request
Hi, my name Richard and I'm from Germany. When I was a kid I enjoyed playing Commander Keen. And still I'm a huge fan of the game series.
I have been following for some time the topics on this board. I find it difficult to write something in English, therefore am a rather quiet guy.
I've made quite a few Commander Keen fan games in GameMaker.
When I saw the great "The Universe is Toast (mod trilogy)", I've decided to make a mod by myself.
And now, after more than a year, I'm almost done with the game. It's called "Commander Keen - The Terror from Outer Space" (the Title is a hommage to the old sci-fi movies of the 50s/60s)
Gameplay video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIjLCRuJNeo
Currently I'm working on the "Help Menu" and the "Story Text".
And therefore the permission request: As I said, I love the mod trilogy. Especially I find the new character "Lt. Barker" very fascinating. It would therefore be delighted if I had the permission to use this character in my mod.
The second request refers to the "Keen Info" section in Keen9. This section is so well written and so informative that I would like to use it for my mod too.
- English is not my native language, so I kindly ask you to oversee some grammar errors or spelling mistakes -

Greetings, Dr.Colossus! You are already a legend! I had no idea you were making a Keen4 mod! From the comments on the video it appears many have known about this project for quite some time.
I see you've replaced the Swimsuit with the Spacesuit. I knew I wasn't the only one with this idea. If I ever complete my mod (started in February 2012), I'm afraid it will include the same concept, but at least the artwork will be different.
Sitting here watching the "The Terror from outer Space Promo", I could just weep for hours. Every thing you do is gold. I can't even find any spelling errors with your English. The Keen Community makes the greatest mods in the world.

Yet, another proof that the Germans are awesome! When they start working on something, they make sure it's something of high quality! For instance, they made the best keen engine out there. And now, your video speaks for itself. I also hope you will add some custom made music and change some sound effects.
Welcome to the forums, glad to see you finally join us
Feel free to use Lt. Barker however you like. The Keen Info section in Keen 9, I think (I'm at work at can't look it over), was written by Mink or myself, but I think I can speak for the whole Keen 9 team and say use what you like.
Really looking forward to your mod; your fangames are indicative of a lot of talent, and this mod looks like it'll be one of the best.

No problem. I like it to make wiki entries, especially when they are about such great games like yours.Bernie wrote:Hey, you did the wiki entry for my 'ruin of roib' mod. thanks for that
