What surprises you exactly about the thread I started called What Keen games are on your computer?? In addition, why would you think The Keys of Krodacia would not be popular? It is very well done and currently the only full Keen 4 mod in existence now and probably for a long time. Not to mention, this game shows how much you have evolved as a designer since Invasion of the Yorps 1: Crash on Gobo III and it has been a very good evolution.Ceilick wrote:......This is kind of surprising to me, both this topic and the one about what keen games are on your computer.

Me personally, I was not impressed at all with Crash on Gobo III or Invasion of the Yorps 2: Planet Destruction. But I am not going to sit here and criticize them either, because those two mods are a lot better than anything I could ever do. Despite my lack of enthusiasm, I can tell you did put a lot of effort into them and for that I applaud you. After I downloaded The Keys of Krodacia and was very impressed, that is when I began downloading some of your other Mods. Your Decree of the Skree trilogy is also currently on my computer, along with Perilous Pursuit and I really like them. Like I said, you have come a long way and it has been a good evolution!
I cannot speak for other Keeners, however "unofficial" it may be, as far as I am concerned The Keys of Krodacia is the "official" Keen 7 and I would love to finally see Keen 8: Dead in the Desert and Keen 9: Battle of the Brains become a reality! Why? Call me a pessimist, but unlike other Keeners, I hold no hope that Tom Hall with get the rights back to Keen. I do not believe it will ever happen, and instead of holding on to a pipedream, I would rather see some of you guys get together and create The Universe is Toast yourselves. Ceilick has Keen 7 done, everyone else could get together and finish 8 and 9. If any of you had any connections to Tom Hall maybe you could get his seal of approval for this group mod and make it official. The only regret I would ever hold is there is nothing I could do to help make it happen, because I have no experience in modding and no creativity as far as graphics and level design. Just another pipedream unfortunately!
I am not trying to pressure you "Dude"! I know this is all a lot of work and you do not have the time to see it through. Unfortunately, time is not on any of our sides! But if someday, Ceilick, you were to stumble upon an unprecedented amount of free time, and you just happen to have a little motivation in the process, it would really be cool to see your UIT trilogy come to life!
