New keen mod in the works

Post by JM2008 »

As title, it will be called 'Justice and Freedom' and will be mostly based on Commander Keen journying through several levels in order to destroy some sort of machine or something, The story might change, but I am in the middle of doing the graphics. Will post a screenshot here when done so :)

Will it involve whacking things and collecting gold?

Do keep us posted. More Keen mods are always good to have!

I've done a few graphics and made the first level. I have decided that the mod's title will be meaning that the Vorticons want to be free of Mortimer McMire and to have justice done for them. It will be using the Keen 3 Engine.

Oh, boy, there are quite some mod projects going on right now, I hope all of them bring forth a full mod in the end.

It will possibly still retain the atmosphere of Keen 3 but we now have nighttime on some levels which should make the game a bit more interesting :)

This is going to be my first Keen mod and I having fun playing around with the KeenGraph utility.

*Sniff* Someone's USING it! All my effort wasn't in vain!

*Hugs*


This will be interesting, it's been some time since a good Keen 3 mod came out.

Here is a level from the game. 5 levels are made so far but some tweaking might be done to them.

Yep, there sure is a lot of graphical work to be done, but the new stone blocks are good, so keep changing more graphics.

Hmmmn, do I see Jill Of The Jungle-esque blocks?

No, it was so good that I totally forgot it was Keen 3. Next time, do a worse job with the gameplay. :p

The title and around eight levels are done. I've even been learning how to insert sprites into the levels :)
