Let's do a community deluxe edition of Keen 4.

Maybe when the source code is released, we can add more levels and enemies, too.

Wow, that looks good. No more beehive illusion for me!

Not a bad idea, the deluxe version. It should also include a way for player to get the extra lives in Lifewater Oasis. Maybe create a hidden passage somewhere that takes Keen to a room with blue cave tile background, there is a switch that makes a platform move around the lives, add some way to get there and back, etc. :)

We could add new rooms to the levels, mainly via passages/doorways, rooms that wouldn't affect the original level's gameplay but add some extra candy to collect. These could contain new graphics and enemies just as well.

The Dort and the kicking guys who were supposed to be in Hillville come to mind. As well as the desert town.

If somebody really does want to make a full-blown bee mod, though, I've got an idea for a story.

We can already patch in more levels and more enemies, could be an interesting project.

K4 Deluxe Edition?
Is there still interest of realising such an attempt? If so, which further improvements need to be done? Ideas anyone? anyone?
