Commander Keen: Keen Dreams Source Code Released

Posted by Soulskill on Wednesday September 17, 2014 @02:18AM from the better-late-than-never dept.

New submitter ildon writes: Recently, the rights holder of former game publisher Softdisk's game library put the rights to some of their old titles up for sale, including Commander Keen: Keen Dreams, one of the few games in the series not to be published by Apogee. A group of fans created an Indiegogo campaign to purchase those rights. We are just now seeing the fruits of that effort with the full source code of the game being published to GitHub. About a year ago, Tom Hall found the sources to episodes 4-6, but it's not clear what, if any, progress has been made on getting Bethesda to allow that code to be released.

I would have been mighty pissed if they had picked the poor demons for w3d. but starting out with nazis made the transition pallable.
