Recently I've noticed you've been using it a lot to describe when something will have an effect on something else (e.g. Commander Keen is an easter egg in the game, which will have affection in Martinez 3 would make a lot more sense written as Commander Keen is an easter egg in the game, which will have an effect on Martinez 3). Affection, almost exclusively, refers to a feeling of caring and should not be confused with the verb affect, which means to cause an effect on something. Isn't English fun?!
I know, I know, that was a little mistake. And to tell you, yes, Commander Keen is an easter egg in the game, which will have an effect on Martinez 3, because Commander Keen will help you adventure. :)

Ah interesting... did this influence your idea for Clouds Unseen being B&W?? I mean, that mod is a beautiful idea anyway so it could have nothing to do with it! Of course, Bobrick Tower is a wealth of colour!

But I can't see the video. Why? I find out, it's an unlisted video.

Works fine for me. Also, I found it interested that you missed the three level entrances that I specifically mentioned in my earlier post. They just don't look like level entrances! The mountain is the worst offender though, as none of the other mountains (as far as I know) are level entrances.

...by saying...?

I mean when I started up the mod I thought it was broken. I thought you were blocked from any of the levels. It was only by fidgeting around that I realized a small indistinct portion of lava was a level.

@Benvolio: colorblindness actually had nothing to do with my decision to make Clouds Unseen black and white, though it certainly made making it a lot easier. The color palate Keen uses has thankfully distinguishable colors, with the exception of the dark yellow and dark green which look nearly identical to me. Even the blues and purples are distinct, and those colors usually give me the most trouble.

This only happened to me once, and luckily I was able to pogo up somewhere.

Szemi, there's two solutions to this problem:

1. Change the tiles bordering the level to a non-solid tile.
2. Put lava at the bottom of each pit so Mart dies when he hits the bottom.

I think it's good you're working on an upgrade to Mart1, and this could use a rerelease too.
