Re: New keen mod
That's so very descriptive.
Some people are pragmatists, taking things as they come and making the best of the choices available. Some people are idealists, standing for principle and refusing to compromise. And some people just act on any whim that enters their heads. I pragmatically turn my whims into principles. -- Calvin

re: descriptive
Not to be too negative, but that emotikeen does a good job of describing the first level of the Golden Crystals mod... ;-) run left, grab keygem, run right, open door, grab keygem, run left, open door, grab keygem, run right, open door... etc.

I can assure you it's not bland. I won't give away any of the details, except for:  . It does a couple of things, both in graphic and level design, that haven't been seen in any other mod, so it should be interesting.
It looks like a beta won't be too far off--there's a whole level completed already, which is rather trippy, to say the least. And it's only taken Victor a couple of hours so far so I can see some wacky progress ahead.

Ok, mission accomplished.
Get it here.
It's really sketchy as far as the interface is concerned, but the basic essence of the mod (the tiles, sprites and three levels) are all there.
Remember: it's a demo of a beta.
Enjoy.

 Duh, Spleen. I kinda trimmed the directory back a bit too far when removing unnecessary files and got rid of storytxt.ck1.
The zip has been updated. If you've already downloaded it, here's storytxt.ck1 on its own. It's only the default Keen1 story, though, so don't expect anything new.
Edit Bah. Stupid Tripod won't make things straightforward enough to let Storytxt.ck1 download as anything other than a HTML page. Meh, I'll leave it there anyway in case it works for someone.

Re: "Just take a bit off the top... ARGH! MY EYES!!&quo
Me likes!
Very good idea; like Keen controlling some bot! Also, that kind of style, Keen as Crystal Caves sized and moving on those mazes is very nice, I should try something like that sometime later too.
The graphic is good at some level, but I think it needs more colours. Don't be afraid to use different colours, shadings and so on.
The collectiables weren't very clear; they were really small, and I had problems thinking are they actually collectiables or some dangers. So, I suggest making dangers to look dangerous (which they were), and collectiables to look something good collectiables.
The level design was nice, remember to use more tiles.
The enemy design was also good, I recognized them very well; so that's a garg, that's yorp, that shoots etc..
The title screen was nice, but there you could add some backcolour and fix some pixels that don't "fit" there. Dunno how to explain.
And, avoid using areas that are just below the ceiling border tiles, since Keen couldn't walk there, and I had to cheat to get pogo and use god mode to fly there.
Also, yes, I knew this was a beta of demo, but you asked for suggestions so I told some.

re: game
Very colorful! Has a lot of devilish potential, having Keen that small. I like the way you gave us clues what things were, with the "DANGER" signs and whatnot--makes any demo better. :-) Bazooka Wowbagger's first level is a great example of that, too.
Keep up the good work, Spleen!

re: who did it
Sorry Spleen, sorry Victor. Great work Victor. :-)
I like the subtle little foreground-background thing you tossed in there, too. I didn't notice it at first. Your background reminds me a bit of Crystal Caves... do you have any release date in mind yet? Release month? Season? Year?
