Keen 14: Secret of the Sorcerer
Keen 14: Secret of the Sorcerer
Hello, everyone
I fell asleep a little recently and didn't give any news of my mod, but from now I promise you that I'll be very active. Today I'm proud to release, after more than a year and a half,
Commander Keen in... "Robot Apocalypse", episode 14: Secret of the Sorcerer
Download link: Version 1.4
https://www.mediafire.com/file/8iadofo0 ... 4.rar/file
I wanted to release it on Keen Day but my final review was over sooner than I thought. There are 16 levels, among which the BWB Megarocket, a secret level and an EH level! Open the README file to see what is it!

Re: Keen 14: Secret of the Sorcerer
I noticed you decided to not add Bridge Station to the game. It is still only accessible through the warp cheat.

Re: Keen 14: Secret of the Sorcerer
You weren't kidding when you said this would be released soon. I just downloaded it, and hopefully I can get around to playing through it in the next few days.

Yeah, because I didn't like that levelSyllypryde wrote: ↑Sat Feb 26, 2022 23:04 I noticed you decided to not add Bridge Station to the game. It is still only accessible through the warp cheat.

Re: Keen 14: Secret of the Sorcerer
oh sweet. you've already released your next mod. when i look at the title screen, a threatening and dark mood sets in, as if a paramilitary artificial intelligence is taking over the world. What's interesting, though, is that Keen seems more annoyed than frightened by those laser firing space fighters. curious how this might turn out in game

Re: Keen 14: Secret of the Sorcerer
That is interesting. When I was helping you playtest it and we were corresponding, when I told you I actually liked that level you said you would consider putting it into the game. Obviously you changed your mind. It is okay. It is your mod and and I have no intentions of attempting to change your mind. Like I said, it is still accessible with the warp cheat and those of us who like it will still be able to play it. Just like when I was playtesting I can only achieve 1,167,300 points. Just like then I am 2,000 points short. I still can't seem to find those final points and I have been through all the levels.
Oh well, I am sure I will find them eventually.

Re: Keen 14: Secret of the Sorcerer
I told you this because, as a surprise before The Mystic Artifact, I was going to do a community levelpack as was done with Dead in the Desert and the best level would be added to the mod. For that I would have used Bridge Station but since the idea of surprise has changed I decided not to put that level. As you have already said, however, it is accessible via W + F10 and those who want to play it can do soSyllypryde wrote: ↑Sun Feb 27, 2022 13:52That is interesting.

Re: Keen 14: Secret of the Sorcerer
Pretty damn cool mod. I like the graphics, that dark starry sky is absolutely gorgeous.

Thanks for your replies, guys. I'm glad that this mod is considered

Re: Keen 14: Secret of the Sorcerer
Hello and happy Keen Day!
As I said here, here you are an update:
https://www.mediafire.com/file/e926k7f0 ... 1.rar/file
What I have done is just a few edits in the final sequence, since I have not received any news of bugs, glitches and so on. Anyway, have you already played this mod? If yes, please tell me your opinion, it will allow me to understand what the community likes and what it does not and what I have to improve of myself

Re: Keen 14: Secret of the Sorcerer
How to run the game? Since it's a Keen 6 mod, I added the game's exe file to the folder, but none of the game's now three available executable files seem to work. DOSBox immediately closes if I try to run the game using any of them.
(I use D-Fend Reloaded, not "raw" DOSBox. I tried entering each of the three files as the one for running the game's profile.)

I've played a few stages so far and everything I've seen is excellent! Before I play through the whole game, I missed out on the first 2 games in the series and want to do a quick run through both of them within the next few days. Once I've beaten SOTS I'll post a full review.

Re: Keen 14: Secret of the Sorcerer
Just to add: I unchecked the box "Close DOSBox after closing the program" and could read the message: "MM_Ptr: Out of memory!". What does it mean? What is wrong and what should I do to successfully run the game?
Re: Keen 14: Secret of the Sorcerer
@Nowhere Girl, are you getting this error when you launch using the Keen14.bat file?
