I just sent Ceilick the last song a few minutes ago.
I'm just as excited about the final release as everyone else is!

I know Im double posting, but I didn't catch your comment til it was too late, Arjak

-- Thanks! It's good to hear positive feedback on my work! :o

To my knowledge, 2 of ZidaneA's songs are in there (which I really liked, by the way...give yourself a pat on the back there, ZidaneA!), the rest are my work...it's pretty easy to figure out who did what. There's some real differences in our styles..but they go together quite well in the context of Keen 8.

You don't have to double post if you copy the quote and paste it in edit... but who cares about double posts except those snobby sm.netters (and forums about stuff that's not obscure)

I also really enjoyed the music, _mr_m_. It makes the levels so much more atmospheric.

I've only heard three of your songs yet, but I like them alot! It's gonna be exciting to hear the rest of the soundtrack! :)

Yes, they're called "Snakes on a BwB Megarocket" and "Robotic Keenery" (I don't know which levels they are used on though).
Thank you, I'm glad to hear that! :) I just hope that everyone else thinks so too, since I really want to compose more songs for the next installment.. (But if people prefer your style over mine though, I'll wthdraw myself back into the shadows, excitingly waiting for the next game to come!)

And it's done and posted :) Keenrush, do you think this thread here can be locked? I'd like to have all further "dead in the desert" discussion to be restricted to the release forum. Thanks.

Or we can post in this topic from an alternate dimension, where the mod is perpetually unreleased (what a terrible dimension that would be!)

Hi there,

I also tried the game out and I really like it. I hope we'll get it into CKP some day.

I've seen one thing that could be improved. The cave on the map isn't a teleporter, but you here the sounds of one. Maybe you could remove that sound.

But Congratulations! It's a very nice game! Looks like Keen is more alive than ever in this time!

I know this is an old thread, but I am playing it and have a little question..

I beated the dessert, then the caves with fire, then the palace and the little island after take that submarine/boat...

And now? I don't know where I have to go :/.

Thanks!!

Have you checked up on Impostor Keen back at the beginning of the world map? ;)
