Oh well, I know what you mean. I was doing good with my project, but... Some things happened in life. And about the childish posts. Too bad spamming discourage you. Probably would discourage me too.

It's good that this time there is no promised date. But when the time comes for bet testing, a good beta testing would take additionally one-two weeks. So I don't see it coming this month.

I'm guessing the Game Over screen will be exactly like the Keen 5 one, but bigger? 8)

Yeah... How do you show a whole universe exploding when nobody knows what the entire universe looks like from the outside of it? :dead

Well, obviously, it's a big... black... thing... er......

What does the universe look like from the outside? I'll ask Mort to get me a picture.

Talking about "outside the universe" is rather meaningless since the universe is wherever matter happens to be present. Even if the universe had an "edge" then going beyond that edge wouldn't technically put you outside the universe since you and whatever radiation you were emitting/reflecting would be part of the universe as well. And, of course, the universe doesn't have an edge (or a center for that matter), but is believed to exist in a sort of folded 4-dimensional space that can't be properly depicted in either a 2D or 3D model.

IF you could go outside, here's a basic approximation of what it would look like:

You are here:

But as only me and a couple of others actually can, there's no point in really showing you.

But anyway, Ceilick, Great job! I'm looking forward to seeing Keen beat me.

At some point early on the game over sequence was just going to be a non-descript section of space getting fried. Right now the sequence will have less to do with the Universe itself and more to do with a specific aspect of Mortimer's plan.

Too many Fringe references? The destroying universes thing has totally got me on edge.

This is how the surrounding Universe might look like.

I really hope that this episode mod will not be the final one. Because it would be interesting to take a unespected turn of the plot at the end of BOTB and then be able to continue from on.
Expanding the Keeniverse is really good and I bet every one would like to see more planets to explore and more aliens to stun.
Olso I like this delay from the release and the secrecy held on this mod.
Keep up the good work and in the name of every body make this mod the Ultimate ONE :begging

Ceilick and C.O.:
Just letting you guys know I'm waiting patiently and silently for CK9.
Keep up the good work and take your time.
From now on I'll not check this topic any longer as there could be some spoilers and a lot of useless "information" from other users.

It's done when it's done. And I will see it, when somethin happens in the release forum. :-)

So once again: Great work so far, take your time, I'm pretty sure I will love it when it's done. :dopefish
