After a year and a half of work and waiting, it's finally here!
Thank you everyone for supporting and waiting for this mod. I and everyone else who put so much work into this hope you enjoy it and let us all know your experiences with the game, even if someone else has already said everything you wanted to say. We want to hear from all of you.
Disclaimer on Cheats: All f10 cheats have been disabled for the initial release. They will be re-enabled in approximately two weeks.
Credits are as follows:
The core of the game, including new graphics, levels and story was imagined and designed by Ceilick, Mink, and Tulip. We discussed heavily our own ideas, as well as those proposed by the community, about how the unofficial 'The Universe is Toast' series had progressed thus far and where it needed to end. Mink and Tulip, it's been a pleasure working with you gentlemen and I hope we'll do so again in the future. My favorite part of this project has been our combination efforts when it comes to level and graphical design.
The vital patching used for altering enemies and gameplay was created by Levellass and Lemm. Levellass has been with us from the start and is responsible for nearly all the awesome and unique enemy behaviors you'll see in the game. Lemm stepped in in the last couple of months to help out with some really fantastic gameplay altering patches, especially for the final level. Levellass, your dedication and perseverance through all the errors and flip-flopping of patching needs is appreciated beyond belief, Lemm, your understanding of the Keen code is a godsend.
We received several graphical contributions from Fleexy, Mobiethian, and VikingBoyBilly, not all of which made it in the game but were appreciated and useful nonetheless. Thanks guys for taking the time to draw and submit your work even though you were 'in the dark' in terms of how it might be used or fit into the game. Thanks Mr. M for letting us use your trim scorebox which allows for greater visibility. We also borrowed an enemy from Grelphy's abandoned "Vox" mods. Lastly, several graphical aspects have been inspired by the first unofficial "The Universe is Toast" concept based mod, Keen X by Xky Rauh as well as used from his abandoned keen 4 mod. Thanks Xky for creating one of the best and most memorable Keen mods and allowing us to reuse some of your work.
The new sound effects are created by Levellass. Thanks Levellass for your many revisions and alternate sounds provided and thanks Mr. M for creating the level entrance and exit sounds.
We received possibly over 70 song submissions for this episode from both regular forum members and non-regulars. Thank you everyone who sent songs in, even those whose song's weren't included. Composers whose songs made the track list are: Genius314, Kosmyn, Mr. M, thehackercat, Umbrella, and XkyRauh. Additionally, thanks Mr. M for your willingness to edit several, if nearly all, the songs intended for the game so that they sound the best they can in IMF; it is greatly appreciated.
Thank you to everyone who created the utilities we used to make this mod. Andrew Durdin for Modkeen, Admiral Bob for CKPatch, Z-1 for Keen:Next, CK Guy for Ck456tli, Levellass for KeenWave, LeandroTLZ for KeenSCR, Adam Biser for IMF Creator and WDC, Levellass for StarText, and Lemm for K5splode.
