Because they're not 2d sprites

Um, why would you want 3D support in a 2D environment? I don't really see this being implemented in CKP, ever...

I merged c_keen.wad and main.wad together to use the keen sprites.
The isometric 3d in keen 4,5 and 6 would make floors in a 3D environment look like this:
...I was thinking about making keen 4 levels in zdoom pogostick.

We could use 3D. we already use OpenGL, but for SDL Graphics, we will need to develop a wrapper, and I really don't want to...
Btw. I like more the classic graphics, maybe a bit polished through filters...

Hmm.. Is somebody already remaking Keen 1-3 with the 4-6 isometric look? If so lame! That's what I'm doing lol...

No, I think they're doing the original Keen 1-3 style, but with a higher resolution and more colors.

Umm... we aren't doing either. We are adding more colors, but only if you wish, Commander Genius is so much more than that.

About one thing is clear.
Many people don't know what CG is. Well, it's up to everyone. I think it will be interesting with galaxy support, getting back to the original thread/topic.

It's an original Keen game and mod interpreter. That means playing Keen on modern systems without an emulator like DOSBox. There's some enhancements and perhaps in the future one could do exactly what you said in the engine - remake original levels in the 4-6 style.
