Public Commander Keen Forum

To be fair, with Keen 3 specifically, making entirely new levels *is* fixing issues.

There's only 1 level in Keen 5 which I specifically dislike, and that's Neutrino Burst Injector. Not just the upper portion of it, but also the lower portion. :bloody It has some very frustrating enemy placements and a lack of flow so to speak, which tends to result in many unexpected deaths. The le...

Since saying Keen GBC would be cheating, I have to give this to Keen 1. Not that it's a bad game by any means. But the bland artstyle personally doesn't really speak to me, Vorticons gameplay I think is objectively somewhat inferior to Galaxy, and I have no special connection to Keen 1 by virtue of ...

For me it's Keen 6. The first Keen game I played as a tech crazed 3 year old, but as it was only the demo, most of its secrets remained hidden from me until later. I love the art in Keen 6, everything about it feels just right. It presents a very immersive environment full of weird cartoony monsters...

Interesting aside: way way back when I made Comrade Keen, the translation site which I used (and which still exists virtually unmodified from 2005 ) translated "keen" as "острый", a word which I would learn years later more commonly means "spicy". And Commander Spicy w...

I think it's supposed to mean something like number 3 - he's a young boy with a keen mind, a huge IQ of 314 and an inventor's spirit. He's also brave, but that seems like more of a consequence of his intelligence making him a good judge of potentially dangerous situations, and strategy skills (this ...

In modding scenes for other games, graphics-only mods are usually definitely considered "mods" without any need for qualification. You could argue that's because changing the graphics in other games, especially more recent games than Keen, tends to be more difficult (pixel art is doable in...

I genuinely can't wait to play this game. Good luck with the development.

I saw Dune this Friday. I was disappointed by the writing, but visually it was truly a spectacle. Would recommend to anyone who also likes the new Star Wars trilogy.

Bonevelous' playthrough of "TUIT: When Bloogs Attack!" with screenshots and written commentary is my favorite thread ever. :lol Do feel a bit bad about laughing at a game someone took the time to make, but the entire thread is pure gold. I truly love some of the characters in that game. :p...

Holy moley, it's actually also been more than 10 years for me. :D Feels like yesterday. I've experienced some great moments with you guys and all your amazing work. Keen will forever be one of my favorite game franchises and it's only fitting that it has such a splendid fanbase full of talent. I'm t...

Yup, first mods I'd played were The Keys of Krodacia and Dead in the Desert. If I recall correctly I joined the PCKF a couple months before Battle of the Brains came out. I was 10 or 11 at the time and replaying a lot of old DOS games I used to have and love, mainly Keen of course. Imagine my surpri...

Keen Dreams was the other Keen game I had as a kid besides the Keen 6 demo. :D I got it from my brother on a floppy and played it on an old IBM laptop we had at that time I recall. I believed this was the 7th game in the franchise, not sure where I'd gotten that from, but I think maybe the game fold...

Honestly I hate this situation because it feels incredibly unjust and hopeless. Without getting into politics, our government has not been doing a good job and people's safety and comfort have not at all been its primary priority. One of the most infuriating things to me has been the 9 pm curfew tha...

Music is my top cope. I love listening, singing, playing guitar (amateurishly). I play games sometimes, since I now have a computer capable of running the new stuff that I haven't seen/played yet. Hanging out with my family or friend also works great. I'm always on the lookout for more interesting t...
