I was always kinda annoyed that with my mod Keen 0, I hex edited the EXE file instead of using patching. (Which I think also caused some bugs) So today I fixed that and made a few other changes while I was at it. And removed my deadname and my old PCKF username... (You can find a list of changes in "Changes.txt")
Presenting Keen 0 Plus, a slightly improved version of a mod that was first released nineteen fucling years ago assuming the release date KeenWiki lists is correct. God I feel old. In all those years I never released another proper Keen mod...
Edit: New v1.000001 fixes the screwed up "entropicdecay" graphic at the start.
You can download it here.

Re: Keen 0 Plus
That's wonderful. I love this forum exactly for the fact that even after ten.... I mean almost twenty years mods are still maintained and receive updates. Keep it up!

The story:Changes:
- "Storyline" was reduced to its purest essence.
lmaoKeen goes to a place.

I think you forgot to add play.bat though.

Re: Keen 0 Plus
Oh, you are correct. I know why, it's because I also have import.bat and export.bat for Modkeen importing and exporting the graphics in the folder where I was working on the mod, so I must've absent-mindedly though like ".bat files don't need to be included in the release .zip" basically.
Fixed it now. Here is an updated download.

Re: Keen 0 Plus
Have uploaded a new version with a very small update that fixes a palette issue with one of the intro graphics (see edited first post in this thread). If someone could upload this latest version on shikadi.net and update the KeenWiki article to link to it that'd be much appreciated.
Re: Keen 0 Plus
do you plan to update and improve your mod even further? If so, I would wait with the file upload to our ftp server until you've finished your todo list

Re: Keen 0 Plus
I'm not entirely decided. I'm leaning towards saying there won't be any further updates, but there is some appeal in the idea of giving it a soundtrack.
