Let's play Daniel's Keen Mod
Let's play Daniel's Keen Mod
You may or may not have heard of this mod. It's downloadable from the KeenWiki. Here we go with the titlescreen:
Completely ripped from Keen 1. The only change is the badly shrunk 'Keen doll'. Let's begin.
We have no new map tiles. Red land goes over white background sloppily. Mountains oddly cut off when near land. So far it's not too bad, just ripped, but we'll see next time.

I remember this mod! It had like... maybe 8 changes. It was awful.
Good review though!

I don't like the harsh attitude of the Let's Play so far. Sure, there's no new graphics, and there's a few mistakes with the placement of the tiles in the redesigned map level, but what exactly so far has qualified this for "It just got worse" status?
Either post videos of you playing, or post screenshots of the levels with commentary, but don't poo-poo the mod based on the starting map screen. Jeez.

I agree with Xky. Maybe the levelpack/mod does actually get worse, I don't really know, but so far it hasn't. A little cutoff isn't the end of the world.
It seems like you're just trying to outdo Bonev with your LP. I'm fine with a few of these types of threads, but not if it's gonna lead to a trend of bashing every fangame for no reason.

Just remember - it's okay if a game is good. Don't go looking for every small thing that can be considered poor design. Only the most glaringly awful decisions deserve such ridicule.
So far the game looks like a pretty generic mediochre levelpack to me. (I got red underline on 'mediochre.' How do you spell it? )

Xky does have a good point, now that he mentions it, but I think you're doing a pretty good job for someone who's stating out.
I think for my next LP I'll do a good fan game, and then after that I'll do a bad one next.Genius314 wrote:I'm fine with a few of these types of threads, but not if it's gonna lead to a trend of bashing every fangame for no reason.
It's not much of a mod at all. But the good news means that it's not too bad.VikingBoyBilly wrote:So far the game looks like a pretty generic mediochre levelpack to me. (I got red underline on 'mediochre.' How do you spell it? )
I enter level 1.
At least I don't need to worry about ammo. Looks like I get a key out of the deal too. Why is there a clone of me about to fall in the fire? I fall down through the clean-cut pink platform to get the yellow key and walk to the right. We have new graphics! A cookie!
I grab the easy blue key. I then open the yellow door (supported by another clean-cut platform) and use my hippie-colored pogo stick to go up.
I'll leave the lights on, thank you. Cool, more ammo!
That Garg had yellow teeth. Looks like it forgot to brush. I then get out the tall exit.

Next!
He actually made a decent map. Except for that white part. Lets go in the blue level.
Clean cuts are always nice. I thought this wasn't an ice level.
This looks a lot like Keen 1 level 1. Spot has seen better days. Can you the difference in the Ice Cannon?
Nice clean cuts.
I already have plenty of ammo. Better watch out for Gargs falling through cut blocks!
