Wasn't me! I made a big, ugly Keen1 level called "Xky's Massive Level" or something like that, which had several design problems (couldn't get all the points, had some blind drops, etc.). :) The only Keen4-related thing I finished was the "Save the Quillsheep!" mini-mod for Andy's contest.

Fair enough!! Maybe I just associated it with yourself because you were responsible for creating the first ever modification of Keen I ever saw - the Ice Factory.

The fact remains that someone made a Keen4 level some years before I ever saw TED5, probably in 2001.

And to celebrate the 10th anniversary, the Keen source code will be made available to all!

That K4 level was made by ChargingMoose (or something like that) and it was made in a hex editor. I don't have the level any longer, sadly.

By the way, 10 years, congratulations K:M. Seems amazing.

It has surely been long for K:M... and not so long for me...

Well, at least I was aware of that Keen 4 level before being truly familiar with the Keen forums.

Think you can still find it, say, here? http://www.shikadi.net/keenwiki/Galaxy_Mods
