Music for Keen 1 to 3?

Post by entropicdecay »

Just wondering, has anybody ever done fan-made music for the Invasion of the Vorticons games? If not, it could be a neat fan project, maybe collaborative and trying to make it in Adlib SoundBlaster or the like type of sounds and somewhere near the musical style of the Galaxy games' soundtracks (or maybe a different style if it was felt that that would fit better with the Vorticons games). If something like this has already been done, I'd be interested to see where I could find it

There's a Marooned midi on here somewhere for keen 1.
It was a CG project that was never completed I think. :dead2

I think Mr. M is most qualified to do it. Or Bobby Prince himself (since, you know, he's not too busy).

He's not?


It would be an interesting idea, what with us having the ability now. I suggest too it be released as a fan version, with patches and fixes for the 1.31 version bugs and such. I think we even have a few of those. (Like a Keen 3 fixed level pack.)

It doesn't matter how qualified any of us are. Mr. M and Bobby Prince are the only two allowed to do it, and that's final. Geez, do you think ID would do something dumb like shoo off Prince for Trent Reznor or something? :rolleyes

Agreed; only The Great Ones may accomplish this, as foretold in Prophecy.

Indeed, but it's quite likely that by now you've discovered a way to encode boobs into IMF tracks.

And this is a problem... how?

It sounds terrible, especially the double Ds.

However I posit that said soundtrack has to have something based on The Planets Suite in it, possibly Jupiter or Saturn.

I think every level should just use "Too Hot" as its soundtrack. It worked for Catacombs 3D and it half-worked for CK4, so it'll work for Vorticons too.

Hear, hear; Our work is complete. Image

I think someone should add one or two more riffs to Too Hot to Handle so it can pass as a complete song.

How dare you. That song is a masterpiece and must never be changed. >:

Too Hot is tons of fun. I put it on the loud speakers and had a jolly jam with it on my Chapman Stick. I did make up a song based on Too Hot. Maybe I should record it..
