Afraid I don't have the means and skills to make even a demo of the mod. However I can continue to whet your appetite with additional shots. Any skilled modder who is willing to take on the making of the mod, I can provide graphics and sprites as best I can.
Feast your eyes on these:
We see the Vorticon King up close with Keen himself. I changed the text slightly because in Keen 4 style, you don't kill enemies, you just stun them. This is good because the Vorticons don't deserve to be blasted with a hyperpistol.
And what Commander Keen game would be complete without a High Score screen?

Haven't posted any stuff in a year. Nothing too exciting, but I think Keen 3 may also look good in 4-color CGA. Cyan-purple isn't the prettiest color scheme, but with the aid of composite video, it may look just as good as EGA.

Those backgrounds are beautiful. Really great art. I think amongst the original games, Keen3 graphics are by far the most compatible with cyan-magenta scheme so definitely a good choice on your part.
Can't wait to see how you implement a Mangling Machine in the Galaxy engine... could be utterly epic.

The screenshots you provided so far, are they like made in paint or something, Or did you edit the levels but not the behavoirs?

Made them in paint. Used a 16x16 grid squares to guide me as I drew and coloured some of the tiles.

Now that we have source code recreations of Keens 4-6 available, a Galaxy recreation of Keen 3 might actually be more feasible than before! You have such great artwork that it would be a shame if your idea never became an actual mod, whether it was programmed by you or someone else.
By the way, about Hal's Kitchen, I remember NetKeen having a pretty good recreation of the level that worked well with the 3D-ish look. Your version looks really neat, though; it could make for a good bonus level.

I am quoting this because I want a Keen 3 Galaxy remake
