Worked for me. Even though it's mostly recoloured stuff, and the level is still heavily reminiscent of the original level 1, this is looking pretty bloody tasty. The glossy bricks are surprisingly effective.

Thanks, guys. I like the glossy bricks too. The level is reminiscent, yes, I ran out of ideas so I made that a 'right-left-right' level. But it's definitely harder than the classic level - there are much more things to kill you and some parts are designed to be kind of tricky. I'll make another 3D platforms after a break. I just love 'em!


Maybe I will make a custom Keen design. Like XkyKeen and that stuff, this will be Nospikeen. :D

Can someone help me with patching? I need to make the King Gobblet from one of the icecubes (an alternate garg which takes 10 shots) Levellass or someone, is that possible? :begging

Well, the best place for this is posting a request in the Keen: Modding forums. This is recommended because it means anyone who needs the same patch can find it quickly and easily. And if the patch is already there, all the better!

I too suggest the K:M forums, there's some excellent patchers there, and it should indeed be possible to make ourselves a Garg out of an icecube.

Well, I'm still waiting for the patches on K:M forums. The most needed of them is the patch that you exit the VC level if you kill the Vorticon Commander. Why I'm writing here? I finally passed my exams, so I can now resume the work on the levels. But I need to ask one thing... How wide the level should be if I want it to be screenwide and NOT scrolling? Because this will be a going up level. Thanks for any help. :)
Also, I made the new red dirt tiles. Do you think I should make the ice cubes (not the enemies, I mean these big ice cubes Keen slides on) 3D too, or not?

This is looking very promising! Hehe, maybe I should have stuck with you while modding Keen 1.. :o

I made some tiles for the secret level. The secret level will NOT be tilted-viewed, but will otherwise be very, VERY special. You will see, if you somehow manage to find it. :)
I already have an interesting killing tile for the secret level usage only.
Some things that are yet sure about the mod:
1. Keen must save Gnosticus IV
2. Keen will NOT go to the volticon spaceship
3. Keen will battle Commander Volt at the end
4. If Keen fails, Gnosticus IV is Toast

Awesome to hear. 1 level mods seem to be reasonably popular as things go.

I've decided to do a new mod, starting from scratch. If someone wants to resume the work on this, I'll send him the folder with the mod, graphics and patches. The project has been abandoned.
