Isis Screens
It's been a long time since I've shown you guys something other than my writing ability, and it's about time I showed you some screenshots. I have 4 for you today, with a few more for you later on.
First off, I have some pictures of Snaily's new level, which is in it's final stages.
www.drigon.com/~ek/screens/Valley1.gif
This is a picture of keen hanging from a ledge, just to show you guys it's in and working. It's dark in the picture because it's supposed to be raining (but for some reason Snaily disabled the rain).
www.drigon.com/~ek/screens/Valley2.gif
Looks like there's water down there! Notice how much better the water looks now.
www.drigon.com/~ek/screens/Valley3.gif
Keen decided to go for a swim. There's a vine blocking our view of him, and it's a vine you'll find scattered around the planet Isis (as it's super cool to use and looks great in a variety of settings)
That's it for Snaily's new level, now for a screen shot of my newest level:
www.drigon.com/~ek/screens/Base2.gif
Keen's climbing one of those vines in this picture, and as you can see, they're growing all over this base. Notice the windows and the vines growing on the inside and outside? It's really cool to see the parallaxing background shift behind the windows as keen moves around that room... you'll just have to wait untill the release to see what it's like for yourself.
In the next installment, you can expect a few more screens of my latest level, and a few of my old level. I also have some enemies to show you, so stay tuned ....
Oh, heck, I can't help myself:

THIS is the new look of Isis.

Re: Isis
There will be a wide variety of different types of terrian. Think Keen 4+5+6 ... that number is pretty accurate.
As for the weapons, now that I won't tell, you'll just have to wait and see, sorry.

It's a good thing we don't have any pictures of the game at night...

which one of you did the yellow orchid (?) on the first picture? it is pretty well done. I can still notice some of the unfinished bushes on the jungle terrains.. maybe in about a week i'm able to continue my part if i'm still admitted.

Re: -
I did... and it's actually orange (we added lots of new colors)... that special palette makes it look weird for some reason though, normally it doesn't have a bright stripe on it.
It looks a lot better in the game.

Those are great levels! Especially eK's base. And, please, some animator, join the team! We really need someone! Right now eK's stuck me with the animator's job, and I SUCK!

Isis Screens
I have been trusted with making this reply... Some more screens, for your viewing pleasure. And remember, we are not responsible for any kind of drooling damage.
First off, a shot of my level. This is right before the exit.
www.drigon.com/~ek/screens/Valley8.gif
Notice the rain and the nice dark parallaxing background.
Damnit, I had another great shot of my level, but it didn't pass the censorship of eK... Oh well.
Following is two shots from eK's slightly aged two-tileset level... Both from the second part.
www.drigon.com/~ek/screens/Desert6.gif
Sorry if this, or any other, image is messed up. If it isn't, check out the darkness in the bottom left corner. And, if you are the kind of guy/gal that likes a SGA puzzle - you could try figuring out what's on the sign.
www.drigon.com/~ek/screens/Desert8.gif
This is a great shot of the cannon, and by the cannon. Keen's toasted.
Last but not least is another shot from eK's new base level. It really shows the glass in as much action as you can get from a still capture...
www.drigon.com/~ek/screens/Base6.gif
Thanks for your time - and go get a towel.

The images Desert6.gif, and Base6.gif, don’t work for me.

Well it takes a very skilled artist to animate something, just look at it as a learning experience. And you will be a lot better at animating once you finish.
The thing I like best about these images is the water.
What do you like best?

Re: -
actually, we only used part of them, the surface. I cut everything else away, and now we just have the surface because that's all we need. All the tilesets can be put underwater :)
I don't know what you mean by animated though .... ?

i remember sending Geoff the motion of the water surface.. but that's probably not inevitable, as those terrains shouldn't be that "windy"..

Re: Isis Screens
Wow, finally, things are picking back up again... AA (aeworld) is back to animating, there's a good chance we'll have a new mapper, and at the same time I've been doing tons of work on tiles ...
Not only that, but I just figured out how to have sloped end with cliffs rather than having to flatten out first... lemme show you what I mean:

Ah, Drigon's been having problems ... if anyone wants the screenshots I can send them all in a big zip file, just email me at cruzb@ripon.edu...
I probably won't be able to start sending anything for a week though.

Demo during the following year (starting today). Do not take it as a promise, though.
It will most likely be free.

Re: Isis Screens
You'll have to wait for Isis, because I am making sure that everything is perfect. Right now there is still one major bug, and a few minature ones. Most everything else is working exactly how it should be. I'd schedule the demo to be out near new-year's day.

Re: Isis Screens
Yes, I'm still enthusiastic about Isis. It's just after staring at a computer screen for a while, just looking at tons and tons of text, it does get rather tiring. Isis has a good engine, and will most likely be the best Fan made Keen engine out there.

Where Can I get an editor to make my own game???
Does ANY keen fanatic know a place where I can download a game editor for Commander Keen(any episode) for free? I would really appreciate it. Thank you.

Try CC314
Go to www.classicgaming.com/cc314/
They have a choice of 3 Keen 1-3 editors available, and some info and files needed to set up TED5 (from www.3drealms.com/ ) to edit Keen 4 levels.
You can also get my Keen 1-3 editor from my site instead of CC314 if you want -- just click on the banner.

Eh, I was hoping for an easier to use editer, thanks anyway!
Is there an easier editor to use, similer to Mapedit (for wolfenstein), that uses graphics??? I checked out your site -- good job, Andrew, it look nice.

Re: Eh, I was hoping for an easier to use editer, thanks any
If you're talking about an easy editor for Keen 4-6, adurdin is supposedly trying to add support for them to his editor. Its hard to do though, because you have to extract files from excecutables or somethings like that. And nice level, adurdin! It is very hard and I cannot win!
