Public Commander Keen Forum

Hello, Quinton has released another mod in 2015 Keen Day! This time, it's only one mod, but it's brought with a text file that shows how Quinton got into modding and information for his first three mods (in which, they were never released).

Hope you enjoy it! Thanks to troublesomekeen and Viking Boy Billy for beta testing, and Grandy02 for letting Quinton use the lower case font.

Thanks for posting this! Your game has been added to a Keen Day list!

Finally released! I bet Quinton was waiting a long time for this day. Decided to hold off till Keen Day, eh?

There's that quintonessential magnetism in this mod that we felt when playing the ROM trilogy. I like the name, too. Morticore. I've been on an ELP kick recently, trying to learn that song. You know.. Tarkus? Battling with the Manticore?
Cheers!

Thanks troublesomekeen! I'm glad you seemed to like the mod, did you see anything different with this version as compared to the beta one yet?

Oh I like it a lot. The Mort battle is just as fun as ever. Perfectly difficultly.
Stars arranged in to shape of numbers on the world map leading to the later levels. I made it to the secret level this time. Thaaaat was very cool.

Nice mod. Most of the time is super easy. Two things to point out: the secret level (very original, never seen such thing) and the boss.

I liked the mod, the art being a mix between it's a small world from Disneyland and Crystal Caves. By the way, after I completed the first level, I was able to walk around the whole map, is that supposed to be?

I tried the same thing you did, but I wasn't allowed to walk around the whole map after beating the first level, maybe it's just your computer or something.

And Heeereee's Quinton! Welcome to the forums

I'm so sorry about the difficultly, but I wanted to make the mods difficultly stand out from those that are too hard. I guess maybe I got a little too hard on it.

Thanks for welcoming me. I thought nobody would do that to me.

More strange overworld mobility! I'm guessing you don't use Dosbox, Lava?

Oh, of course, Quinton. A hero's welcome for you! I was very happy to see you've made an account here.

Sorry if this seems to be a little too early, but has anyone yet noticed that star-shaped G, 0, and 2 stands for Grandy02?

Thank you, beta tester number 2. I have a feeling I won't be that active here, though.

Any news is good news Quint. Welcome! It's nice to see your progression as you continue modding, most excellent.

That sounds very much like you god-moded your way through the level

haha, that's what it felt like!

Ok, I found out what I did, I ran Keen1.exe, rather than the batch file.

I guess I'm used to some of the older Wolf3D mods (back when I used to make them myself) where you would run the original EXE, rather than using a patch.

Sorry for the scare, Quinton!
