You can find there all free-to-distribute Keens, and patches to other versions. With these patches you need to have something version of Keen 6, for example. If you have Keen 6 1.0, you can get version 1.4 with those patches. The whole thing is totally legal (ofcourse), enjoy! :) ---- [4.2] Episode Y is released! :) Gotta say, Grelphy has done a pretty cool job with his Keen 1 mod, Episode Y. I think it was the most hardest mod I've played, it's definitely worth of playing! :) Read more here: http://pub128.ezboard.com/fpimentogamedevelopment.showMessage?topicID=779.topic ---- [4.3] The Fate of Isis If you want to help the Isis-team, be sure to check out this topic: http://pub128.ezboard.com/fpimentogamedevelopment.showMessage?topicID=777.topic ---- [4.4] New CKpatch! :) The tool that is necessary if you want to make really good mod, CKpatch, is released again, this time as version 0.9.0.

Well, as you can see, Commander Keen Newsletter has changed a bit... It all started when the founder of this newsletter, Forge315, said that he will quit on newsletter. But don't worry, Commander Keen Network will still be around, so does Forge, but Commander Keen Newsletter team is just now going on without him. Farewell Forge, you were a top member! :) And we're sorry that there isn't this time anything else than the news, but next issue will hopefully be better; newsletter team has had some vacation and we have planned the future and so on... Well, see you in the next issue! :) --KeenRush Yes, this issue was quite small, we're just taking some time to sorta regroup and figure out what to do. Forge will be missed but he has given the Newsletter a great start in its life and it will continue to live on. Marky is working on some images right now so you should see some new designs on our websites soon in the future. If you have an article or review you would like to contribute please don't hesitate to contact one of us. Next issue we shall be back our usual tricks. --Yorpy ---- [5.2] Credits Forge315 - started this newsletter Yorpy - does reviews MRC Marky - website, graphics KeenRush - news, some other stuff ========================================>>>>>>>> * swim swim hungry *
