Re: Keen 4's choices in assigning music to levels...
Too Hot sounds pretty dramatic and kinda sad. I think it fits every level it's used in pretty well, you've got dangerous pyramids built by an ancient civilization, areas in nature full of environmental hazards (Isles of Tar/Fire), a creepy dark cavern... well it's not really creepy the way the game ...

Re: OFF TOPIC THREAD: Where derailing the thread is impossible!
Thanks Benvolio, glad you like the song choice especially. These recordings are my way of expressing my love for the deep cuts.

Re: OFF TOPIC THREAD: Where derailing the thread is impossible!
Thought I'd shamelessly plug my youtube channel where I've begun uploading bass covers mainly of old rock songs. :) Here's some Black Sabbath: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKgdwxMz0uE And here's a Cream tune: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtdVEuP2h6M There'll be more, so sub if you like and sta...

Re: World Mental Health Day
Thanks for making that post Dave, I can relate to a lot of what you've said. I've been feeling a very similar way recently and decided to start going to therapy again to try to get through it. It sounds silly but we have this containment thread on this obscure old internet forum so we might as well ...

Re: Keen Is At It Again! - My first Keen 1 mod
Hey and thanks for sharing your mod. I've played it for a bit, up until the ice level which I haven't beaten (without cheating) yet. That little cave with the two gargs in it and the ice hazard above guarding the keycard is really hard. :bloody It definitely stands out in terms of level design, Keen...

Re: Keen 6 Most Favorite Level?
Exactly, or they could've used the dummy door at the level start for this somehow. It's a fixable problem, like many issues with Keen 6's levels, it was clearly rushed in development.

Re: Keen 6 Most Favorite Level?
For nostalgic reasons I have no choice but to pick Bloogton Manufacturing. I actually like the level layout, as a kid I found it intriguing and exciting whenever I managed to progress through the level all the way up to "the part with the hexagons". Vertical levels often tend to suck but t...

Re: What Music Are You Listening To?
Recently I've been listening to Camel a lot, specifically Mirage. Something about the way they touched upon fantasy themes and the beautiful dramatic melodies in songs like Nimrodel or Earthrise, the soft veiled vocals, the lively bass lines, it's just a magical perfect masterpiece. I've been consta...

Great idea. Don't just bounce on hazards, become the hazards.

Re: What makes some mods better than the originals
Aside from art, which is pretty subjective and not everyone even chooses to stick to the original Keen artstyle, I'm really intrigued by programming feats. The OG Keen games already had a pretty cool feature set, especially Galaxy, but precisely due to the added difficulty of modding, a lot of modde...

Re: Should there be a 3D Keen game?
I know there's Keen Dreams 3D , which is a finished 3D Keen fangame. Keen 2.5D has 3D graphics, but retains the 2D gameplay. Commander Keen 64 is still a work-in-progress. Ah, I believe it was Commander Keen 64 that I was remembering. Yeah this game was pretty great. It's been a loooong time since ...

Re: [Poll] Sound in Keen 1 to 3?
I always play with the sounds on (and in Galaxy I prefer PC speaker sounds over Adlib ) but in Vorticons some sounds really irk me, such as the 1up sound, falling of a ledge, the walking sound. I've always made it a priority when modding Vorticons to improve the sound design.

Congratulations to all winners and participants as well. It's been another great year for Keen, even though I haven't had much time to hang around and play all the good stuff, it looks mighty impressive nonetheless.

Re: Keen 6 Least Favorite Level?
I always skip BASA. I actually don't think I've ever completed the level, it confuses me.
