source code found?

Yes we would, and I would choose the ability to compile over patching in a heartbeat. It's like we're entering the next era of Keen Modding.Levellass wrote:So would WE be able to make our own little executable files from the C code?
Would patches become obsolete? Would Lemm lose his only source of income and have to go live under a bridge?
Now just where did you get that picture?
Pretty sure Project Totengraebber was one of the first major stand-alone games to come from the source code release. Also, I think SDL Wolf was another result of the source code.wiivn wrote:Since you bring that up, can you tell what happened after the release of the source for Wolfenstein?

I can only imagine the possibilities if this whole thing works out...

Seems like this is the source of the photo: https://twitter.com/ablitter/status/377 ... 01/photo/1
It's still better to assume there is (almost?) nothing new as long as we don't have direct access to the sources.
Nevertheless, just the fact that the disk has been found after so many years can already be considered a significant event in the history of Commander Keen and everything related!
On a side-note, although it's a bit late now, looks like it's been 9 days since Hall's last birthday. That may bring some question for, well, some of you... I guess 7 times 7 is an answer!
EDIT: Oh yeah, checking the photo, it looks like some files and folders (if not all) originate from 1992. A general keen4-6 archive, to be more specific an archive file named keen4-6.tar.Z and a uncompressed directory named keen4-6, both have the modification date of Nov 9, 1992. A few subdirectories within the keen4-6 directory have the modification date of Apr 13, 1992. In each case the exact modification times differ a bit (by no more than 10 minutes).
Interestingly, looks like the .tar.Z archive format was used back then (for that keen4-6 archive) Must be the result of using a certain workstation platform back in the days.
