@TheBigV what a cool premise! It's been a while since Keen played host to an external franchise but it's been done to great success in the past (I used to like the Zelda II mod by CheesyDave a lot. And of course Lego Keen is absolutely timeless). I think this is gonna be really neat!

Seems like he's just getting acquainted with things right now. A few weeks ago when he freshly joined he was asking for suggestions for mods to check out, and asking about the tools people use to edit keen 4,5,6. Otherwise he's just chilling 😁. Oh yeah, he was having trouble accessing his old account here because it's not associated with an email that he still uses, so it seemed that someone with mod powers was able to help with that, so maybe we'll see posts on the board here too 😉

Not just that: he posted a screenshot of the Abiathar splash screen... :evil the implications are fascinating!

Happy Keen Day! I didn't have anything ready to release this time, so here's another screenshot from my "Doom in Keen 1" mod, of the first level:

That looks so awesome, TheBigV! It's been a long time since we had a Keen mod based on another game, and this one has such an inspired choice of game! It's funny how so many people have translated Keen to Doom, yet no one has done it the other way around, until you!

Ooooooh, fascinating indeed! Is this how The Universe Is Toast finally gets made? Or is it just going to be a fun little side story, like his Keen-themed Mario Maker levels?

You should start a thread at Doomworld, I'm sure some people there would be into it. Fun concept!

This is more of a random Keen thought but how can Keen jump so high? He jumps like 5 times his height! If keen is 3 feet tall then he's bouncing 15 feet up in the air even without the pogo stick! Could it be that his shoes are one of his inventions?

If he made them, you'd think they could be made resistant to slug slime or the flashing goo on the floor in Keen6...

In the latest Film Theory (Film Theory: 3 Minecraft Movie Theories!), SGA and Commander Keen were briefly mentioned.

You can watch the whole video, but the snippet comes somewhere around here:
https://youtu.be/Fw7968QRpqc?si=HXvZuFYjmTt_ich9&t=804

They even used one of the most popular SGA translation image:

Of course, this is a cool movie tidbit that has nothing to do with Commander Keen. But we can say that SGA is a Keen legacy and it's cool that it's used in the most popular game in the world and now is coming to a movie as well.

"Orb of interaction" :lol
