First off, I love Commander Keen. It is the best computer game(s) ever made (yes, it’s a little higher even than Jazz).
Second, I believe in rating submissions based upon what they are trying to acomplish, not how much work they took. This is simply an attempt to create a Keen tileset (something for which there is demand) and to do it by using Keen’s original graphics (also in demand).
Thus, I must rate it favorably, because you have managed to do just that.
However, I cannot rate it too favorably…
I don’t understand why this would be difficult to mask. Right now, everything is masked solid. This should make it almost impossible to use most of the tiles…or at the least, very difficult.
Frankly, I can already see how most of this could (and should) be masked…
So here’s what I’m going to do. I’ll give you a 7 just for being able to put all this together in a nice fashion, but I’ll think of it as a work-in-progress (if not yours, then I expect someone else will take it from here. Heck, I’ll do it myself if someone can get rip the graphics from this).
Anyways, this is a step in the right direction.
BTW, if you manage to get Keen 4-6 and Dreams, I’d be tempted to give you a 10. Dreams is my favorite :)
