 Games
 There are tons of fan
created Keen games out on the web! Not all have
the greatest quality, of course, but they might
still be fun to play - grab some old classics and
see how the latest projects are going!

The
Mystery Of Isis II
A full-screen 256-color game,
probably the best-known Keen fan game
project.
It's been going on for about two years
now, and it actually seems like it's
going to be finished soon!!
Loads of people have been involved in the
project. The main artist et cetera is eK
(Ben Cruz).
Else, these are the ones I know about
that are/have been working on it:
DML, Geoff, pLeitorian, Vertigo,
AA, Ilsoap, Corey, Tony Gies, VolteFace,
Snaily.
As far as I know, the project doesn't
have a website at the moment, but you
should visit this
thread on the Public Commander
Keen Forum for the latest info. And for

Keen Fusion ("The Galaxy And
Several Neighboring Ones Are
Toast")
I never heard about this
project before I got an email
from rAdiation
who's working on it.
Here is a condensed version of
the story (as rAdiation said in
the email):
"Using the power of
cold fusion, Mortimer McMire
plans to blow up the galaxy and
several neighboring ones. In
episode 1, Keen searches for
Mortimer. In episode 2, Keen
storms Mortimer's cold fusion
laboratory in an effort to put an
end to this plot."
This was a nice way to do it! :D
I'll just keep on quoting him:
"It will probably
consist of two episodes, although
I may reorganize it somewhat. The
game engine, made in
Click'n'Create, is similar to the
one used in Keen, episodes 4 5
and 6, except Keen has a jetpack
now instead of a pogo stick....."
Episode 1 will be released before
Episode 2. He tells me he plans
to make episode 1 public as soon
as he can. Episode 2 is still in
the planning stages,
although it will probably contain
no ripped images except for the
Keen sprite himself.
"It contains ripped
graphics. I would say 75% of the
backgrounds and 10% of the
sprites are ripped from Keens 4
and 6, although most have been
heavily modified and some are
completely unrecognizable."
Later, he sent me a couple of
screenshots, and a MIDI-mix with
a cool rythm.
Here you may watch & listen
for yourself:

| Yes,
there are many others too, but we didn't
really want to write down some half-true
info about all those half-finished
projects. As said above, please tell us
if you know about a serious Keen game
project! |
