Keen:Next - Where can I get it?

Currently, the only download for the Keen: Next editor (in progress) is here:

Hopefully z-1 will grace us with updates in the future. :)

Wow, that was FAST!

17 minutes after my very first post, suggesting that this should be made... Abracadabra.

I wouldn't have met this editor if it wasn't for that post. Maybe I'm speaking too fast, I still have to download it.

Hopefully it has a more intuitive interface than TED5 and supports Bio Menace levels (which use the same TED5 TileMap Format Specification, or WhatEver It Is Called). :P

It's designed for Keen (4-6) only, so it probably doesn't support other games very well, unless they are using the exactly same format.

Not meaning to be offensive, but that is definitely the most unstable piece of software i've ever seen. Is it written for windows Xp? Cause i'm using Windows 98. I get an "external exception EEFFACE" every time i move the cursor more than an inch!

It probably is because you're using Windows - try emailing z-1 and see if he has any solutions.

It worked for me ... I remember there being some issues with downloading this in the past. Mirror:

However, I never got this editor to work well at all. Maybe I should start work on my Keen 4-6 editor again ...

Please do! It would be great if you did, since I'm using TPT for my Keen 5 level pack.

Yes, I second that.

As levellass said before, it is so much fun making Vorticons levels and such a pain making Galaxy levels.

I believe that there is no easy to use Galaxy-Editor is one of the problems....
