This Kicks Ass
This is the greatest thing I've seen in a long time.
I already posted in the other thread, but here's a quote of it:
-The high score screen comes up as a demo.

I also found another bug after making this post:Arjak wrote:I have just played the first few levels of Keys and I can only say one thing:
It's like Christmas '92 finally came.
The mansion levels actually gave me chills, seeing those pictures on the walls of the enemies in past games, reminding me of everything that Keen has gone through, and now, I feel vindicated.
I feel vindicated that I am a Keen fan.
There was only one problem with this game, and that was the help screens. There were a lot of misspellings and inconsistencies:
-Cannon is misspelled as canon both times in the story text.
-In Keen's talk with Barker in the story text, the is misspelled as he at one point.
-In the previews of Episodes 8 and 9, at one point, Episode 9 is named Battle of the Brains. Later, you say it hasn't been named yet.
-The text upon quitting was mostly unchanged from Episode 4.
If you can fix these small nitpicks, I will be the happiest fan on Earth!
Now, what I loved of the little bit that I played:
-The graphics were great, especially the title screen. When I was waiting through the intro, I was hoping for a new one, and you didn't disappoint.
-The level design felt authentic. I like how in the first mansion level, you are tested on your pogo skills to reach the first door.
-It began right where Episode 6 left off. This felt important to me as a fan because it made me feel like the earlier episodes mattered.
-The new music was wonderful. It fits well with the impending doom feeling.
-Barker. It made me feel like Invasion of the Vorticons is still an important part of the Keen mythos. Having the Vorticons repay the favor of Keen saving them was a great feeling.
P.S. Keep these games coming!
-The high score screen comes up as a demo.
I made three of those songs, Ceilick made one + edited two existing midis. I made the songs using this program: http://www.anvilstudio.com/

I remember my first experience with anvilstudio. It was very unforgiving
You should go with FLstudio instead. Unless Anvil has gotten more user-friendly in the past few years.

Yeah, I used anvil studio also, only because I couldn't find anything else that was free Editing songs was relatively simple, composing my own ended up just being me mashing keys and going back through to change the excessively bad parts. I'm not a composer
