O-Mega-Matic - huge Keen 5 community levelpack

Post by SodiumtheGlitcher »

One day I thought of making a Keen 5 levelpack with humongous levels, so I thought, "Why not make a community levelpack out of it?" I know the Keen community isn't all that active, but I would love to see this take shape. If you can commit to making a giant level, vote on the poll listed. Levels must be at least 100x100, although bigger would be much appreciated. Deadline is December 23, and will be released New Years. If there are not enough levels I will make the rest myself or ask you who aleardy voted to make more :) Please PM your levels to me in aslev form as Abiathar is the main editor I use.

Happy gianting! (lol)

Put me in a room full of chlorine. Results: I die and turn into a pillar of salt and a very buggy Keen 6.

Thanks so much! I put myself down as "Other" because, well, I might as well do one too :)

I may jump into this wheel as well since Keen Drems Gold's update will soon be finished this month! :)
Yeah, piece of cake!

If you can get me a level before December 23, I don't care when you start :)

Wow this is coming together WAY faster than I expected! :D Thanks so much for submitting!

Edit: Who voted for the Korath level? I can't view who voted for what on the poll...

Double Edit: I understand why this was moved to the Unofficial Keen Games, it'll be on the release forum once it's released, obviously.

I built the worldmap, but after I use the teleporter, elevator tiles show up at random parts of the screen. They look like they're in the location of the original tiles, but could someone please tell me how to fix it?

If you're altering the world map, you'll have to patch things like elevator entrances, Korath level and so on.

At the bottom of the page, you can find door locations. You will have to edit the values so it matches your world map level.

I just edited the world map so the tiles don't appear anywhere on the map, since I have zero clue how patches work :o

This is a fun idea. I occasionally get nostalgic about making Keen 5 levels, so I put myself down for the QED. I can't guarantee I'll finish it before the deadline since I have a lot of other real life commitments, but I'll try.

It doesn't really matter that much, I just put that down as the deadline so I would have time to make extra levels if I didn't get enough. If you get it to me before 2025, I don't care :)

Thanks for the offer. If you wanted to learn how to build your own levels, you could try downloading Abiathar (probably not for this levelpack, unless you can learn to build huge levels in a week) and reading the help file. As for beta testing, I normally beta test everything myself, but thanks for the offer anyway!
