Hey, nice to know you're still going with this. And hahaha, that video is great. You should release a separate mini-mod with just that one level!

Ahh, true! 1983 was the year the NES was released.

This made me laugh.
Heh, I thought the year was wrong, but I wasn't quite sure enough to post.

Wow! That was surprising! Very clever indeed!
It's funny that no one has ever been talked or tried to remake Keen 1-3 with the Keen Galaxy engine to date. It looks and plays good.

A nice ending. How much space did those level tiles take out? It's not hard to move them from foreground to background tiles (Which have more room.) I hope you didn't use the whole Keen1 tileset!

Heavens, no! It took about 60 8x8 tiles, using just the ones I needed. And by the way, colliding with the pat-pat's and the green spikes *does* result in death, even though it wasnt shown in the video. I made sure I gave all the tiles their appropriate properties using CK456Tli.

Hah, that's funny.
By the way, great to hear you're continuing the work on this mod.

60 8x8 tiles
Whoah! How'd you manage that? That'd be an AWESOME expansion of what we can do!

I copied the 8x8 tiles (the platform tiles, pat-pat, green spikes, items, and animated id sign, etc. Just the tiles that the first level used) by hand from the Keen 1 tileset and pasted them into the Keen 4 foreground tileset. I used KeenGrout to make sure the tiles lined up properly in the K4 tileset.
All it took was a few modifications using CK456Tli to make them work like they did in Keen 1.
I know I'm not always the best at explaining things, so I took a snippet from my K4 tiles:

This is potential proof that with some patching (??), one could make a Keen 1 -> Keen 4 total conversion. But I'm not familiar with *making* patches, nor do I really think I ever will be, so correct me if I'm wrong.

It would be sooooo great to have Keen 1,2 and 3 in Keen 4,5,6-style!
Are you going to do that? Need help?

I probably won't do it for quite some time if I even do decide to do it. I just made that level as a joke/proof of concept sort of thing. If someone else decides to do that, I might be willing to lend a hand.
I have this thing where I like to only have one mod in progress at a time.
