Keen: Modding

hehe, not if he gets called in the middle of the night...

I like those ideas, but sadly, I am already starting to get busy with school. I'll try to pop in once a week and make some comments/suggestions.

Sounds like a plan. How does it fit into the storyline, though? Perhaps the statues were placed underground as a general early warning system or some such thing, so the 'suburban' areas would be able to contact the council if necessary. I think thats a good idea. I still think they should be kept i...

Autumntime in the shadowlands mabye? All the trees would range from brown to orange to red, and the creatures would be changing color too. Mabye those brown slugs that were hibernating before come out in the fall.

hm... looks like the majority's against me.

I revised the statues idea, and thought that mabye the statues were stored in underground shrines (which keen would get to via the mines).

Novelties arent always a bad thing. We need a new keensprite, and it couldnt hurt to try something unique. I really like how this sprite looks and handles, and all we need are some slightly diminished levels.

Well, I had thought that keen crashes through the ground into an old mining tunnel. He explores the cave (cave levels) and eventually finds an exit (we can use the teleporter for this). The exit takes him to the surface (aka, another part of the map) where he meets the slugs and licks and has to do ...

I'm assuming you mean for the cave to be episode 1, and the temples to be episode 2. I agree with that.

mabye this wasnt made clear, but it still doesnt run.

I agree completely.
we need to know the structure of the episodes (we should post the suggestions there).
by that I mean the underground is first vs second episode, etc...

yes. The DOSBox mouse bug is extremely annoying, by the way.

I thought we decided that the council members still had control of the oracle, but they had to obey the species or else they would destroy the planet. If the species knew how to control the oracle, what's the point of the laser? Even the timefield would be kinda pointless, since if it can manipulate...

mabye, but the message would be able to reach a much broader area if it was ontop of a temple. It would be more likely to reach the council members.

I had thought that the sacred statues would kept in temples, in order to activate the statues (which would be at the top). They would then each broadcast a telepathic message to their respective council member, informing them of Keen's presence.

Actually... there are 8 council members. It makes sense that there would be a temple for each of them. Thanks for the info Yowza, I had forgotten about that.
