Public Bio Menace Forum

Post by szemi »

Well, I have always been thinking of Public Bio Menace Forum, and I don't know if it's good to make this forum since that game uses the same engine as Commander Keen.

Well, I'm curious. :)


EDIT: Idea scrapped. Instead: Bio Menace subforum maybe? Good idea?

I doubt Bio Menace has enough of a following to justify making a whole forum for it. It would probably get less activity than KeenModding.

I guess a subforum could be made here for it, given that it does use nearly the same engine.

It's pretty much covered under the Classics subforum.

It would be neat, but as said, it is covered under the Classics subforum and rarely is a BM topic posted. Ironically, I'll be starting one soon..

It's pointless unless there are 10 or more mods in the works. Or if an official sequel is in the works.

Levellass is working on a Bio Menace mod as well as I will be doing.

I suppose this means I should figure out the TED5 temporary level format to allow Abiathar to edit BioMenace. Does anybody have a complete format spec?

I think a sub-forum would be appropriate, because it's essentially just a fancy keen mod.

As far as I was aware the level format is just uncarmackized Keen levels, RLE compressed only. (The gamemaps files proper are dummy I believe.)
What you really need, not what you think you ought to want.

Subforum is a good idea.

Let's start for agitating for source code now to save time later.

The way I see it even a subforum is too much for a topic that has seen only 5 threads on the pckf.

Suggestion rejected from my side.

I would revisit the idea if the BM threads on the Classics subforum ever get enough attention. I'm going to be starting a BioMenace music topic soon and if I get 5 replies, I'll be impressed. :)
Not trying to doom my topic before it's even posted, but it's a niche interest and essentially a niche game. Before we make sections of the board for every Apogee fanbase let's test the water here!
I would love to be wrong, but you gotta get the horse before the cart.


Even though BioMenace ROCKS!

P.S. Obvious joke, this thread is the most action Snake Logan's seen in 20 years..
