Commander Keen Creator Kickstarting Game-Creation Tool
Tom Hall, id Software veteran and creator of the Commander Keen video game series, has posted a Kickstarter for Worlds of Wander.
Worlds of Wander is a platform game creation tool that allows players to create their own game, and then share it with the larger community.
In his Kickstarter video, Hall calls it a “platform gaming toy box that really empowers people to make their own game,” adding that “it’s time to really enable people with simple, simple tools.”
The creation tool will run on iOS and Android tablets, Ubuntu Linux, Mac, and Windows. Secret Spaceship Club, a complete game and spiritual successor to Commander Keen, is also included.
At the time of this writing, the project has 191 backers, $8,174 pledged of a $400,000 goal, and 25 days to go.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
