Post by Dynamo »

01:15 <Lunick> Well not just \o/
01:15 <Dynamo> you gotta be fucl kidding me
01:15 <Dynamo> for WHICH commander keen
01:15 <Lunick> It's just a white book(?) with Commander Keen written on the side
01:15 <Lunick> Let me get the image :P
01:17 <Lunick> https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/ ... 9894_n.jpg Dynamo
01:17 <Lunick> Keen Sources so maybe 1-3

If anyone knows more...

EDIT: Updated first post with valuable info: namely that the source code is that of keen 4-5-6 (not vorticons or dreams), and it's gonna be released soon according to tom hall

I hope it'll turn out to be the galaxy source code, hell we wouldn't even need sequels if that's the case, can just do everything ourselves...

Not getting excited until it reads.

I'm worried about the exact opposite happening, that he'll instead keep it to himself to avoid copyright infringement.
Let's hope that the source is "leaked" somehow and useful to us all. :)

Wow!

Given that it's on a SyQuest from ID's NeXT era, there's a decent chance it's got both Vorticons and Galaxy's code, too.

If it is readable, I hope Zanimax are okay with releasing it...

Maybe it's a bibliography for a paper he wrote.

Could contain the source for TUIT. Which, if compiled, will bring parallax scrolling.

Last thing I've heard from Tom was that the disk contained the source code for episodes 4-6.

In his comments he said, "Per id okay, will release soon...."

Here's to hoping id does the same thing they did for Wolfenstein and release the source!
