Request: When Keen gets x points he beats keen1

This may be a long-shot or not, and indeed it may have already been done. In which case apologies for my ignorance. So I've a little Keen1 project on the go, and I am a lot more interested in how many points keen collects than whether he gets the 4 items. So I'd really like a patch which resembled K...

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.

I recall playing a Keen4 level made by Xky, which I am pretty sure was made before TED5 and which I probably played in 2002. Does anyone remember this level or know anything about it?

Or more practical might be to record video showcases with voiceover and assemble them into a youtube vid documentary. We could discuss our own work or indeed each others'. I've hardly any free time at the moment but I'm sure I could make a three minute segment.

Woah just glimpsed this as I was about to head off to the land of nod. Looks like good fun and very playable on initial inspection! Nicely patched as one would only rightly expect. Will return to further explore this neat little mod!! Those shark-heads had me heartily guffawing!

Haha I like it, kind of a Leisure-Suit Larry flavoured rock 'n' roll adventure. We haven't had any more adult-themed mods yet! There was talk of one being developed, I cannot remember who by, and it would be distributed by e-mail rather than general release. But maybe it is already out and I wasn't ...

Episode 2 could have some Star Wars homage e.g. a Death Star. With a lab in it. There has been minimal reference to the Star Wars universe in this community's fan creations. Another great source from the same era would be the various imageries from the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - though these...

1. ???? 2. I don't know much about the vorticons but play around with their jump height (patches from KeenWiki): %patch $1C49 $012CW #Jump height and their walking speeds (maybe if their slow speed is the same as their fast speed, they will not appear to stop): %patch $1C8C $FF88W #Quick left speed ...

Musings on the in-level teleporter

I was reading the thread about galaxy-style exiting in Keen1 and other such things. Which look really great. This got me thinking about things for a minute or two. The following is not a request as such, just a discursive comment really. When looking at this thread it occurred to me that the in-leve...

troublesomekeen did you use UNLZEXE the Keen2.exe?? it worked fine for me when that was accomplished. Anyway, The Shifted One, some nice stuff here! I like the crystal underground cave section, with a little polishing that could be some pretty nice scenery. It has atmosphere, a little like Cosmo as ...

Done... wow this is cool!!! Beautiful colours, and colour is one of my favourite aspects of art on and off screen including keenmods so this really appeals to me. The cycling upon entering level01 is very xargon, or even a bit cosmoesque, iD could really have used that patch around 1993!! Then when ...
