Description

Keen Birthday is a fun-walkthrough map made by fusing together different map sections made by different mappers into 2 complete maps. Currently in late beta development.

Additional info

Received BOMS status.

• In 2025 the community managed to recover the lost maps intended for the unfinished Keen Birthday Part 2. The maps were fixed, restored and merged into 2 extra maps: keen_birthday_part2 and keen_birthday_part2_2

Known bugs

• Rendering issues: Map 2 has some problems with rendering leaks of walls and floors near the Zebra bar area. Depending on your camera angle and player position some walls might disappear from your sight around the outside of the bar. I have made an ingame excuse to make this look a bit better. This is unfixable with any current tools (unless the map is recompiled properly, but of course this is not an option). This error might be present in some other areas I have not tested. But overall nothing will affect gameplay (so far)

Great lineup of mappers working on this one, sounds like it's been in development for a while too.. always good to see one being released for once instead of languishing in the map dev void… set up a playdate Adam so we can all check it out :)

Finally :D

I've had to delay this a little as I want to add some fairly significant content to part 2 that will take some time, dedication, and an ability for me to say no to perfection. With the discovery of copy pointer I can reduce the brush count in the first map significantly by reusing triggers all over the map, that should help a lot!
