Newspaz: Well, the game is entirly programmed by DaffyDrukz in Div gamestudio. A pascal alike language. You could compare it with RKP with prestation. Altough it has a higher resolution and we will be mostly using the Keen 1,2,3 sprites.

VF: What's the basic storyline?

Newspaz: The robots of Keen 2 came to earth to take over. They're controled by radio towers that you will have to destroy. That's it in a nutshell.

VF: Are you going to make new graphics, enemies, music and Keen tiles?

Newspaz: Well, the sprites we go out from are from Keen 1,2,3. I'll be redrawing them so they will look pretty much the same.

VF: Could you give me some info about the engine you are going to use?

Newspaz: It's being programmed by DaffyDrukz in Div gamestudio, as said before a pascal alike programming language. We'll be using a resolution of 640x480, levels will be build as bitmaps. We are planning to try to make a level editor but it won't be putted with the game.

VF: Who is on the team?

Newspaz: Me and DaffyDrukz. We are also trying to find someone to design levels and someone who could compose some nice music for us.

VF: When did this project start?

Newspaz: 2nd of January DaffyDrukz started searching for team members.

VF: When will a demo version be released? What will it contain?

Newspaz: It will contain one single level, keen and enemies up and running.

VF: Have you got any idea of when the game will be finished?

Newspaz: Probably over a few months
