Release v1.4

Post by gerstrong »

As promised, the next Release is on the plan. Yeah version 1.2 as release is not out, but for the meanwhile there is a beta.

Get it today!

Here are the plans for Release v1.4:

- Keen 6 full support. Some Stuff already runs on v1.2 but all the AI and other stuff is missing.
- Improve the Mod support even more, especially the galaxy mods

Besides that I don't have any other plans, but I think more ideas will come

Cool stuff. Unfortunately my Vista fried due to some update that makes it unbootable now. So I'm on my ancient ubuntu for a while until I find a solution (which hopefully won't mean having to reinstall everything. but it's beginning to look like that).
Anyway I'll be playing this as soon as my pc is back to normal.

CG version 1.2 for Android

Post by AlexGrinch »

Can you tell if the version with repaired Keen 4 (where all levels are enabled, with 90% compatibility) and Keen 5 will be created for Android?

I think so, pelya is still available. A port of the newest version would be neat. I think it'd be best to work on optimizing it though, my HTC Desire S used to be one of the best phones available 2 years ago and CG is always stuttering.

Hey, I'm the one who now maintains the android port between other games.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... 5wbHVzIl0.

And yes they are playable. Keen 5 will also be playable and its release on Android will come out also February 28th.

No Problem. Vorticon engine has up to four players. There is no splitscreen support but camera switch. I decided against splitscreen, because I would have to unsupport a lot of older SDL Software Layers. If all the Keen Episodes are supported. only 6 and Dreams are missing. I might work on that Framework. Not sure yet, what happens after...

I know this game. I have it on my Android device. It's pretty good game with convenient control, but my phone freezes when I try to load some saves or enter some levels. When I visited http://clonekeenplus.sourceforge.net/ I saw that the compatibility of keen 4 was 60%.

Good news. I'm waiting for update for android version. I've never created apps for android, but if there are some assignments - I'll try to help. I can work with C++ codes (but have no experience of creating big projects) or test the game and find out bugs.

I noticed one interesting thing in keen 5. When I saved the game with a "energy cloud with eyes" not far from me, it disappeared after I loaded that game. There is also a level which I don't know how to pass. When I passed 2 first levels I tried the level which is located on the south. There is a moment in it when I try to get one of the gems and big red robot (which is on the load screen) block me.
