Keen: Modding

I still can't see the map image because it's on Imageshack... could someone host it on a different website that isn't Photobucket or Deviantart? I'd appreciate it.

By Gnostics, do you mean these guys: http://www.shikadi.net/wiki/keen/images/4/4d/Gnosticene_ancient-ingame.png They're called Treasure Eaters by Tom Hall, but because we didn't know their name for years, all sorts of names have been made up for them. Mentioning that stole toys from earth would make...

According to the Keen 1 story file, Martians have been flying to earth in flying saucers for decades to take our toys. This means they did have the capacity for space travel.

I like Spleen's idea of saving the toys from earth for episode 3.

Lemm, your meadows concept is incredibly creative. I've never seen anything like it.

Your second firefly idea is much better, as doomjedi said.

Then instead of having just one item with each points-number, we could have a type of item with each points-number. Like this:

Candy (100 points), drinks (20 points), lunch foods (500 points), desserts (1000 points), toys (5000 points)

Nice flag doomjedi, it looks better than the Keen 4 one. :)

Items: candy (100 points), hot chocolate (200 points), pastry (500 points), cake (1000 points), stuffed toy (5000 points).

This is the flag that was used in Keen 4:

It was blown by the wind and flapped. The flag for this mod will be like it.

Could someone host that picture on a little-known website? My web filter noticed that some things on Imageshack are bad, so naturally it blocks everything from Imageshack.

Would you mind posting another map? It would be easier to see the changes and work on it.

Also I like spleen's suggestion that the oracle is what needs rebooting. Perhaps that could be the reason why the council "owes him one." He fixes the oracle. (As the oracle is low on memory from having too many TSRs in operation, but the council members are all old people and can't fix i...

Option 1 avoids the problems Option 2 has, and also keeps the player from getting infinite points, so I like it more.

And that's another vote against. Spleen, what do you think?

There could be SGA warning signs, a skull and crossbones, a sign showing somebody being blown up, that sort of thing.
