Real life items that would belong in a Keen game

Post by dark »

I found this keytar style toy from the early 90s recently and it instantly reminded me of keen, like something you would see on Fribbulus Xax or maybe something that came out of the same factory as Robo Red. Something about the colors used and the jagged angles give me a Keen 5 or 6 feel.

Any real life items give you a Keen vibe?

Great topic and photos, dark! This space heater in my office gives me a Keen 5 vibe, I'd gladly make it in pixel form.

Yeah just give it a couple legs and you have a new robotic enemy. Or maybe put it on a wall and it's a switch. Does the color black appear much in keen 5 though?

That would make a great enemy for sure! :D Unfortunately, black is uncommon in Keen 5.

Maybe a variation on that flying black rectangle mine in keen 5. Like if you wanted to give it more personality

He's alive! :scary

Looks really scary if you ask me. Someone should use it! I don't need this thing for any projects.

I like the electrical cable arms. Now you just need to make 10+ more sprites to cover his walking and stunned animations 🤔

That would be really fun! Hey dark, I can do something with this one too. An air conditioner button panel! ;)

The possibilities are pretty much endless. Great topic! This one would be a nice wall graphic in pixel form.
