RKP2 is released today
I'v worked about 7 hours today on my game and it's finished. You can now download RKP2 with tileseteditor and level editor. www.geocities.com/pieterj...o/rkp2.zip
I think it's a much better game than the first RKP. I'll rate my own game to give you guys an impression if you don't know if RKP2 will be good enough. A website is not available yet.
Graphics: 3/5
The cutscenes don't have good graphics. Some graphics are good and the special effects are looking good.
Gameplay: 4/5
Well, I've tested it a lot and it certainly is not a bad control. You have to get used to it that Keen jumps higher now and that the pogo is removed. The only downside is that sometimes Keen moves through walls, but only if you keep trying.
Difficulty: 4/5
The game starts easy, way to easy. I did do this for you guys to get used to the gameplay. The last levels are really tough. It took me a week to beat the game with everything and that's pretty long if you know I tested all levels a lot. I think you guys will beat everything in the game after 2 or 3 weeks.
Originality: 4/5
The story is original and the pastkeenidea is original. All the other ideas came from other games.
Editor: 3/5
The editor is not made for rookies. You can actually make every type of level and add a lot of effects in it, but only if you know at least something from the engine.
So, I think my game is a good game to spend your time on, but I still think it has its weaknesses.
Note: I made the game just on my own.

Re: RKP2 is released today
Geocities doesn't allow external linking! Find another host for your file then people will be able to download it.

What's external linking
I don't know why it didn't work. I don't use external linking. What is external linking anyway?
www.geocities.com/CapeCan...8/rkp2.zip
I tried it and it worked.

Re: RKP2 is released today
The zip is messed up... Re-zip all of the files, then re-upload it somewhere else, like Angelfire or Homestead or one of those

Re: .........
Link works, but consider putting it on another host.
The ZIP file is corrupted anyway, this is what I get after I've repaired the archive with WinRAR:
1 _reconst2.zip: CRC failed in back\2.bmp. The file is corrupt
2 _reconst2.zip: CRC failed in mid\12.mid. The file is corrupt
3 _reconst2.zip: CRC failed in mid\20.mid. The file is corrupt
4 _reconst2.zip: CRC failed in RKP2.EXE. The file is corrupt
My guess is that you either have messed up, or that the file upload wasn't complete.

Problems
Rkp2.zip has to be 676238 bytes(after rezipping). I've rezipped it and reuploaded it. Fortunecity also let me down. They said my password was wrong. It should be the uploading what gave the problem. I used WS_Ftp for it since it's much faster with uploading. I'm now downloading it again and check it. Please wait.

It now works
I Downloaded it and it worked. If it doesn't work then you must have a new version of Winzip or it's a temporary problem at geocities.

This forum is a real disgrace.
Daffy, that last link WAS an HTML doc. You have to go there (you know, with a web-browser?) and click the link to download the file.

LOL, OK external linking. Let's say you made a web site for example, on FortuneCity, and linked to a file on Geocities. If GC just let people d/l the file, they'd be getting no credit (unless the people looked at the URL.) However if you create a page ON GEOCITIES with a link to a file ON GEOCITIES then things`ll work fine.
External linking = linking to a server from a different server = stealing bandwidth

Re: Does it work now?
Wellp I just played. RKP2 has some excellent ideas, but unfortunately the way they've been executed is a bit sloppy imo. And the speed at Keen moves at can quickly make it boring.

fps slow game
When you start the game go down to the bottom left corner of the level and talk to the guy there; he will allow you to configure the fps rate. I would have kill my self otherwise.

Re: RKP2 is released today
well i don't know about you guys, but i think rkp2 is awsome! It really show's you what you can STILL do with an old game engine! I only played it 3 times because of homework issues but i like the game very much. Good work dopefish!

Re: RKP2 is released today
what do you mean old game engine?
I think it's good, in theory. It's a cool engine (except the jumping) that could fit another game, but not Keen... port it to C or C++ and fix the jumping and then it would be cool...

Re: RKP2 is released today
I agree the engine is fine, but the jumping and the art don't work out that good I think. And um the leveldesign still isn't really good looking.

Re:
Runtime error 150 means Disk-write protected. And Lyris, what's wrong with the ideas? The lightswitches were one of the good ideas and they worked perfectly. And how about the GED level, wasn't that puzzling enough? Ok, 2 ideas sounded great but when you're playing them they seemed to be boring. The first one was that Hypboosis creature which seems to be very easy. The other is the bonuslevel Timekeenrace(you get this by beating the highscore in scoregame). The other 2 bonuslevels can be found in GED and The Palace(did anybody get here already?) and you must use cheats to get them and you also get an alternate ending. Why don't you guys try to finish the game first, including the 13 cheats? It's also the first unofficial game which has properly running elevators. I won't make a RKP3 or a tweaked version with better jumping and items to pick up. I continue making games, but not keen games. I'm going to try to make a smashbros-like beat'm up. I'll already have some ideas for it.

Read: Wellp I just played. RKP2 has some excellent ideas, but unfortunately the way they've been executed is a bit sloppy imo. If you meant "What's wrong with the execution of the ideas, and what makes them sloppy?", then basically what I mean is that the game isn't exactly 100% polished. Some of the artwork could be improved [shading etc], this along with many smaller features, such as faulty tile placement. And the mouse pointer in the level editor, it looks a little malformed - things like these:
![rkp2_fault.gif]( "missing image (sdentforums.hypermart.net/storage/lyris/rkp2_fault.gif)")
![rkp2_mouse.gif]( "missing image (sdentforums.hypermart.net/storage/lyris/rkp2_mouse.gif)")
Try replacing it with the one on the right - it'll make the editor easier to use. The large pointer can get in the way sometimes.

At the start of this thread you were rating your own game, then asking what was wrong with it. In your ratings, you said something like [Graphics: 3/5] - why do you release things that you feel aren't totally up to scratch - a good idea would be to release them as ''test runs'', get feedback, and release a final product that you feel scores 5/5 in all areas. Don't aim for second best.

The #1 rule of platform games is to always leave the player a fair chance. However, if they were intended as easter eggs, I guess that's OK.

Elevators are one thing, but it has some time to go before becoming the best unofficial game.

They are in the game in the level underground factory, which is one of the later levels.

Re: RKP2 is released today
There's a prob. that may just be my fault, but on level 2 after going all the way up on both platforms, the door over there (above the space and stars) doesn't work (It's too high I think). Am I missing something that I need to know about?

RKP2 ???
Do you see the guy jumping around to the right, you have to kill him first; then you can go through the door. That took me about three try’s to figure out but I finally got it. Also if you walk to your right there is a little secret area.

Re: RKP2 is released today
I knew about the secret area, but I still can't kill those guys, the projectile bounces off of him.
