Descent: Underground

[Geraldine]

Hi FolksJust found out that Eric Peterson (Formally of Star Citizen & along with some others) has opened his own game studio called Descendant Studios. There is a forum <here[/url] with more info. Their plan is to make a game somewhat like Descent but with much more expanded roles for players. Although its not finalised yet Eric is presently working with the Unreal 4 engine to create the game and will be attempting a fund raising when they have more to show potential backers. Here is a vid from Eric (in his typical style) announcing his plans for the game:  Here is a sneak peek of one of the drones in the game. I can see the resemblance to the bots from the original Descent games. :girlcrazy: I also noted a problem with the links to Descent 1&2 Re-birth Mod in this old post of mine <here[/url] and fixed it for those who may be interested. :queen:

Just had quick look at it and it seems a bit like Miner Wars.

Yep I'd agree with that too Pinback. :queen:

Mmmm one question: This remake will be a free game? A comertial game? or what? ))

Haven't been following stuff on the Star Citizen site for quite a while, so had no idea Wingman had left to go it alone.....I wonder why he went?

Mmmm one question: This remake will be a free game? A comertial game? or what? ))As far as I know its going to be a commercial game Caleb. They are still to announce how or when they will start fund raising but I wouldn't be surprised if it was that different to Star Citizen's funding model. I stress though I am only guessing here truth be told.

Actually I found that with some mods that do an impressive job of modernizing the game (forget what the main one was called), the Descent games are still pretty spectacular.

Descent XL. And you can find it here: http://www.descent2.de/d2x.html[/url] for that CaptainKal, I will add that link to my old Descent post for DX Rebirth. That way links to both mods are in one place. :queen:

[ExpandingMan]

Kickstarter has begun for the game (now renamed Descent Underground). Here[/url] is a link. Was watching the live stream and there is a chance that some of the original Descent devs might be onboard for this as Eric has secured the rights to use the Descent name now. And here is another promo vid, this time without the er...um nakedness :girlcrazy:

$67 grand so far so not doing to badly although 600K a big target. I will have to wait and see if they do a PayPal option.

Seems to have hit the mid Kickstarter doldrums although they still have 23 days to go.

Ooohhhh that's a real good notice! I'm a descent series fan and i really cannot miss this! It's one of the best games in 90's years.I hope we can reach the kickstarter goal.

14 days left and just under the half way mark, they can probably still do it if they get a big enough boost towards the end.

[Pinback]

Just over the half way mark now with 7 days left to go, no sign of a Paypal option yet.
