Hokay, I've been sort of taking a Keen break, focusing more on fiddling with my website than with getting some actual Keen projects done, and I think I want to get back into some more actual Keenish stuff.

So here is where you guys get to vote and tell me what to focus on next.

Tough choice... it's between your Keen 5 levelpack and the Photachyon Transceiver.

I'm working with Mindbelt now, and I think its working fine, although it surely would never be a bad thing to work on it.
But I will be in need of a good galaxy editor as soon as I release my next mod, because Silcar 5 will be Keen 5, so I voted for the Transceiver.

I voted for the Galaxy editor. I'd like to see the slope tool I once described. :D Seriously, that'd be so useful.

Although I really like the levels in Keen 5.5, I voted for TPT. I've been using Unofficial Release #3 to make my Keen 5 level pack (which is nearing conclusion). I find it so much nicer to use than TED5 (and no waiting for Carmackization). It would be nice to have a new version with more commands, especially level renaming and resizing. Did you ever recover the source code, or will you have to start all over?

:confused I don't remember this. Could you remind me?

Also, it sounds like TPT is winning so far. Good to see so many people like my level pack, though! :D

There's already been released an editor for Keen 5?!? Wow! Where is it? I also want a better editor than the original one.

The existing Keen 4-6 level editors support Keen 6. Not many Keen 6 levels around though, although I think I've seen a few.

Mink, you got a level pack almost done?! :eek Good news don't seem to stop!

And to CK Guy: The tool would be a bit like a drawing tool for example in some paint program. You draw a freehand lines, and your Keen editor would form the slopes accordingly. There could also be a way to draw terrains by using lines (like a line tool in some paint program, you start from one point and drag the cursor and then release it in some other coordinates). This would make working those terrains so much less painful, even if it's likely rather difficult to make a feature like this.

A Galaxy Editor would be nice. Along with a great tutorial. :)

I was in the process of writing a detailed tutorial for modding Keen 4-6, but never finished it due to schoolwork commitments. Perhaps in the future...

Wow!

11/11 for the Keen 4-6 level editor.

As some of you know I love editing levels, so of course I voted for that. =P
