Re: [WIP] Commander Keen: Galaxy Reimagined (Demo now available)

That new camera is a massive improvement. I have to confess the old camera was giving me a bit of motion sickness. Nice work :)

Re: Fan-art thread

I did another quick search in PixelJoint and found a cool mockup , posted by Elfwink in 2022: https://pixeljoint.com/files/icons/full/keencanvasflat1.gif Wow that's great usage of the VGA palette. What I wouldn't give to play a Keen game that looks like this one day... :drool Reminds me strongly of...

Re: The LIVE music thread.

I went to see Madhouse Express yesterday, a popular local psychedelic synth rock kinda band. Don't tell them I said this but they're fairly reminiscent of old Tame Impala (before Kevin got bored of playing guitar), which is really pleasing to my ears... :) I'm friends with the band through members o...

Re: [WIP] Commander Keen: Galaxy Reimagined

I like this level. It actually resembles what I wished Crystalus would look like when I was younger. :D It's one of my least favorite Keen 4 levels but this looks much more interesting, lots of platforming but not so many empty spaces and blind spots that are hard to navigate, a much more open and a...

Re: [WIP] Commander Keen: Galaxy Reimagined

That's a lot of slug poop. :)
Looks a bit like Keengine. The physics indeed look close to the original albeit the gravity seems lower. You've done quite a bit of work already, the enemy behaviors seem on point just like Keen's movement and things like the point items effects. Nice job.

Re: Foray in the Forest

My mind is totally blown. I'm only 1 level in and already I know I have something very special on my hands. Hell I already knew this the moment I entered the world map! This doesn't even feel so much like a Keen Galaxy game anymore, this is next gen! If this had VGA graphics I'd have thought TUIT ha...

Chocolate Keen exists though, although it's more of a port than a recreation it should still be 1:1 to the original game I think. Maybe you could lift the physics code from there.

Re: Tips for recording DOSBox video on Linux (on a low-end computer)

Well the main issue with Kali is that it's unsafe for general daily use. It's like using a machete to open a beer bottle, it's gonna do the job but things could get ugly. It's a system that's designed to do one very specific task and to remove all obstacles and security constraints from your way. Ro...

Re: Tips for recording DOSBox video on Linux (on a low-end computer)

One thing I noticed was that when I was playing the K6 demo using the default key settings, trying the impossible pogo all of a sudden made all my open windows disappear, although, according to the task manager, they still were running. I solved it by assigning the pogo to M, but I want to understa...

Re: Prelude

Nice and clean wiki page. I'm curious about the Keengraph issue, Mura uses the (optional?) extended V2 tilesets and needs a special version of Keengraph for it, maybe Prelude doesn't. By the way, Nospike, how's Mura going? I remember seeing you post a few screenshots after you released the one-level...
