Id licenses, New Keen 3D Game :(
Yeah, it really happened, id Software has licensed out Commander Keen. 
I got the little article in PC Gamer today; expect scans within the hour.
Later folks…

Re: Id licenses, New Keen 3D Game :(
If you mean the "Return to Commander Keen", that was a joke.
I'll type it up here as it appears in PC Gamer:
"Return to Commander Keen will be designed by Wicked Googly Software of Nova Scotia, Canada, under licensing agreement with id. PC GAMER negotiated the exclusive scoop to bring you the whole story of this upcoming masterpiece.
The game is set two weeks after the ending cinematic of the original. Billy Blaze, the civilian little kid alter ego of space faring Commander Keen, is about to turn 11 years old. But Billy is about to face his greatest threat ever - puberty!
After experiencing "special feelings" while watching some girls play dodgeball, Billy decides to sublimate the new sensations by pouring yet more effort into his double life as galactic superhero Commander Keen. But alas! It turns out that his heroics are needed to liberate the planet Wowlookatem, where a curvaceous Amazon dictator has enslaved the population.
"As id has grown up since then, we want Commander Keen to have grown up as well," says project directory Rich Guy. "We wantedt he character to join the mature, more sophisticated pantheon of PC gaming greats. And that meant a leather-clad dominatrix villainess with great big jumblies."
With the Quake III.a.1.0x engine powering trilinear flipflopping graphical power, the jumping puzzles and raygun effects should be top-notch. We definitely can't wait to check out the all-new, all-spectacular Return to Commander Keen."

The text above is correct, but you can read the scan if you want.

Thanks, Dan! You were right.
I have confidence that since there was a supreme failure with GBC Keen, they wont try it.
Now I can get back to work on other stuff.
Sorry for the commotion.

Joke?!
It was just a joke?
I read about it a couple of days ago in another forum and got excited because I thought it would be a real Commander Keen game.

Re: Joke?!
The company doesn’t exist, so it has to be fake. If it is not, then I am both happy and sad.

Re: Joke?!
My brother told me that he saw an article in PC Gamer about 3d Keen, I guess this was what it was. I was really excited when he told me because I thought id was doing it, but it does look like a joke.

lol
how could you not think that was a joke? the title is garbage, a complete rip of "Return to Castle Wolfenstein", and the "plot"? *shivers* filth! lol. PC Gamer lost a lost a lot of respect from me when i got one of their magazines and it was 90% advertisement.... this hasn't helped my opinion of them at all :-P
good find, though :-)

Whew!
When I heard that,I thought it was for real!
If iD did any more Keens without Tom Hall...
I wouldn't buy it.I'm not old enough anyway to play Quake III.
I hope Monkeystone makes it big soon....
