Congrats shall be sent to anybody who's been involved in making this possible!

ANOTHER POST EDIT: Also, while Catacomb 3-D is not a Keen game, it's probably kind of expected for a game residing in-between Keen 4-6 and Wolfenstein 3D/Spear of Destiny, tech-wise: https://github.com/FlatRockSoft/Catacom ... _2.C#L1743

Isn't there a Hovertanks 3D re-release project in the works? Something by the same guys that want to acquire the Dreams IP?

On the IndieGoGo page for Commander Keen Dreams it mentions:

- As stretch goal, if this campaign reaches $3000, we will also release Hovertank 3D, another id/Softdisk game!

So I guess things change. It also mentions:

- As the goal expands, even more Softdisk games like Rescue Rover and Slordax will be included!

So who knows

~7 HOURS OLD EDIT: Great, just now I've spotted that Lunick has beaten me! And as already figured out, the Indiegogo campaign is a SCAM.

Quoting from the Indiegogo campaign:

Looks like it's not over yet! Apart from the addition of the source code for Catacomb Abyss yesterday, we also have (the code for) Catacomb Armageddon now. Both of these should be found in the same GitHub repository.

LATE EDIT: Seems it's over now, with the addition of Catacomb Apocalypse. Hence, the codes for the whole Catacomb saga (as well as Hovertank 3D) should be available now.
