I've told a few folks, but here's the public announcement: I'm resuming work on my keen 6 mod and its my goal to finish this year
A few screens of how the graphics are going so far. Keep in mind, they make the mod look a lot more complete at this point than it actually is. Graphical cirticism is welcome.
Enjoy.

Dude, those screens are awesome. Those red slopes are brilliantly done, though the one that slopes up-right seems a bit narrow.
The rock on the left in the title screen needs a bit of shading work. And the Universe is Toast text looks pretty drab. Needs some shiny!
Also, finally has two Ls.

Isn't that how they were done in the original game? They just were never stacked like that, so you don't really notice.
"Finaly"?

Argh! Why do these big budget franchises always HAVE to be a trilogy?? Can't we just get something without 2 darn sequels??
Just kiddin'.

Brilliant! Keep it up, Ceilick. It's one of the few things I'm sincerely looking forward to.

The funny thing about this is that while drawing that I was thinking, "Finally has two Ls, doesn't it? Oh well, fucl it".
Genius314 is correct about the up-right slopes, they were narrower than the up-left slops in the original games.
Will work on that rock and shinying up the text.

This going to be mega-cool.
Loving the shots. Also, great idea with the slopes!

I feel a bit like going home after a rock concert: I thinking, man would I like to be able to play the guitar like that guy...
Well, seems you made something unreachable, looks awesome.
Did you use Photographs to model these Rocks?
You crack me up little buddy!

Very cool! but I have to say one thing about your ad: "finally" is written with double "ll". No offense, but I think it looks better that way.
I hope sometime I can support CK 4-6 in CloneKeenPlus. I really do. Than It will be more awesome playing those mods without dosbox. I really like your graphics. This is something, I could not do...

As I went through Ceilicks old mods to add information to the keen wiki, I noticed misspelling has always been a hobby of ceilick
A note for gerstrong: there is an "edit post" button, if you typed something wrong or just have to add a sentence. levellass had to tell me before, because I also didn't notice myself.
You crack me up little buddy!

The little purple snake thing is awesome. The canyons are also really good. Looking forward to seeing some levels.

That title screen is bad ass! The graphics in this look pretty good.
2009? That leaves... 10 months.
