Commander Keen 6 remake

Post by KaiS »

Hi there!

I’m learning the basics of game development. As my first learning experience, I’m recreating Keen 6 from scratch, with the exception of the sprites 😉. Commander Keen is a very nostalgic game from my early childhood. Seeing that there is still an active community with amazing mods and level designs makes me very happy.

This post is not meant in any commercial way. This project is purely educational for myself. I’m here to share and connect with other people who love Commander Keen!

For anyone who’s interested: I’m making this in the Godot Engine, so it’s not tied to DOSBox, which results in a much smoother gameplay feel. My goal is to (almost) recreate the entire game in order to learn the meta mechanics of game design. At the moment, I’ve nearly completed the first (actual) level.

I wish you the best of luck on this project! I've been hoping someone would make a Godot framework that replicates the Goodbye Galaxy style of Keen gameplay, and this shows potential even in its early stages. I look forward to seeing how far you go with this.
