Hi there,
the other day I wrote to Hans de Goede about the game Clonekeen. I
created a fork from that ten years ago which became Clonekeen Plus and
later Commander Genius. Hans de Goede told me to contact the Fedora
Games developers regarding the topic.
I would like to see that game in the Fedora/RedHat Repos since it
supports all the Commander Keen Episodes including Keen Dreams instead
of just the first three. The physics are much improved, more multiplayer
capabilities are included:
http://clonekeenplus.sourceforge.net/
It also has less licensing problems with the game assets you require in
order to play the episodes. CG provides an internal Downloader, similar
to some sort of codec Downloader, so the entire source code is free and
you do not have to worry about special installations patches. CG also
runs without any of these games, telling the user to copy some assets or
let download those. There also is a AUR (I know it is Arch Linux) if
that helps:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/commander-genius-git
What are your thoughts? It is possible? I think playing all the Keen
games natively with special effects more features and multiplayer mode
makes the repository provide one more jump'n'run game worth that already
cool distros you release.
Kind Regards
- Gerhard Stein
