I found the link at 3D Realms forums anyway.

I wonder if it's in some way connected to Napalm's discovery as well.

Gee, I didn't know Tom got around to update/remake his website.

Thanks for the info.

Sh1t, no kidding!!

I had no idea he had updated, either! Cool!!

I really should browse the 3D Realms board once in a while...

This girl's the same the one who had that custom-made Keen t-shirt.

Actually she seems to have the picture of it on the photo page: http://catwafer.files.wordpress.com/200 ... -small.jpg

Glad to see her Keen craze isn't over yet... Hopefully there'll be picture of the full costume. Tom himself even commented there. He should really try to find the picture of himself in that helmet as a kid, he mentioned that in his blog.

And garg, I should get one too, so many of these Keen costumes appearing lately! But I would wear it at school instead.

Here's one, not sure if it has been shown here in the forums, this one was linked at Tom's blog, in the comments: http://factscon.proboards20.com/index.c ... thread=590

I also quickly found out she's the same person quickly and had a "Hey!" moment there.

Tom posted another Keen-related picture on his site/blog by the way.
Actually it's about Wizard 101 (as well).

I was so excited when I first saw that Kingsisle's website had updated a couple weeks ago. Then a bit disappointed when I saw what the game was. Then excited again when I saw that it wasn't Tom's game. Then disappointed again when I realized that I still didn't know what he's been working on for so long.

Indeed, Wizard 101 doesn't interest me the slightest. But as far as I know, that's the game Tom has been working on. Not sure whether it's his idea or not (I hope not), but at least his blog says "Tom is working on a cool new massively multiplayer online game."

Nope. Check out KingsIsle's press releases:

Online entertainment company KingsIsle Entertainment, Inc. today uncloaked after three years of lock down secrecy. The company has had a team of more than 100 Austin and Dallas based employees, including top creative talent, working on multiple massively multiplayer online (MMO) projects under a cone of silence.

Formed in early 2005 by veterans from both gaming and technology, KingsIsle is led by chairman and chief executive officer Elie Akilian, and President David Nichols. Heading up development are Todd Coleman, a key creative mind behind the MMO Shadowbane and creative director Tom Hall, co-founder of well known game companies id Software and ION Storm. The first project is headed by Todd and is expected to enter beta this spring. Another release headed by Tom will be announced at a later date.

J. Todd Coleman, an MMO veteran and the creative mind behind Wizard101, is heading up development of the game, which has been in the works for three years.

Tom's working on an MMO-something, but it isn't W101. At least we can safely assume that whatever it is, it won't be another game in the exact same vein (i.e. something a bit more suited for our demographic ;p).

Aaah, now I see!

It'll be very interesting to see what it'll be. What if they have given him the Keen rights behind the scenes and it'd be something Keen related?

Well, we'll see.

KEENMMORPG??

it's good that that is cleared up, because i thought tom was working on W101 too, because he said he was working on a secret mmorpg

It's funny to see how a thread about unofficial Keen merchandise turns into talk about a completely different game.

Indeed, and it's just as amusing to look back and see that the transition is more or less seamless.

In a Keen MMORPG, who would the players be? Obviously they can't all be Keen, unless the backstory has something to do with somebody creating thousands of Keen clones...
