Awesome video, TerminILL.

Cool front end, fantomx11. Lemm informs me that it has memory issues for 4 players, I'll try to test it at some point to confirm this.

@Levack: Mod file? If you mean resources to add levels or to utilize the graphics, I'll do so next time I update (later this week or next).

Well, even so, my batch files should do the trick if needed. Just not as snazzy.

Getting ready for a last update. In the meantime, resources for each Netkeen episode can be downloaded here: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/3654819/Netkee ... ackage.zip

This includes all graphics and the materials necessary for creating your own Netkeen levels and skinning Netkeen.

Perhaps the GUI launcher could just generate a batch file instead of launching the game directly. After entering all the information, it exits back to DOS with the message, "Run LAUNCH.BAT to start the game."

Excellent. Who in Australia fancies a game?
Keening_Product was defeated before the game.

Quick question - is the netkeen channel down? Or is mibbit down? I have not been able to access it in a while.

No. Is it possible that it's blocked by your university?

Bump

Just played an epic 34-minute one-on-one eight-kills round of netkeen with Spleen. It's probably been literally two years since I'd played netkeen at all, and I'd forgot how much fun it was. Seriously. Playing against someone of approximately your own netkeen skills is so much fun. (In the end, Spleen ended up beating me, eight kills to six. Rather closer than it would've been versus, say, Ceilick.)

This was also my first time playing vorticons netkeen. Classy job with the graphics, Ceilick.

Netkeen really is probably the greatest Keen creation of all time.

That was indeed a pretty great game. I was very losing to begin with and was about to go into HALP IT IS TOO MANY AM AND I CANNOT BRAIN but then suddenly superconcentration killing spree for a while. The last couple of kills were some very close stand-offs.

Also demo.

Looking forward to some more 4 player matches in the near future.
