Good points, Malvineous and XkyRauh. I was concerned about spoiling the full version by giving too much away in the trial, but I think that was the wrong focus. For Dirk 2, I'll pack out the demo with some really cool stuff.

:lol Yeah, not sure how this adds much to the previous "Keen is a kid" post.

(And sorry about your thread going a little offtopic, GH.)

Yeah, the pink shirt can throw you off, as can the effeminate name of "Billie" but after pondering for a while, I think we can safely say that he is a boy.

Alright, I think this is about enough about Keen -- in this topic. But no need for topic about this in any Keen section, either. :dopekeen

By the way, nice idea to make a mailing list for a Keen site. I've never even thought of that.

It's a nice game. I can clearly see some keenish elements. The music is good at first, but it didn't fits quite well and then became annoying. The graphics needs more touches too.

The art here is bland at best. The background stuff is average, hovering just above the line to mediocrity, and the character art is flat like cardboard and looks really uninspired. Hell, I'm going to go out on a limb and say most Keen mods have more depth and drive behind the art than this, and they're heavily restricted by 16 colors and a pre-existing closed source engine. The screenshots are so dull that I literally can't make myself even want to try the game to see if it really is as bad as it looks.
