This is looking pretty good, kinda forgot about this until I did some thread trolling. Going to rename the thread to Descent: Underground so it is easier to find in the forums.

I read that the old Descent games have been removed from GOG/Steam something to do with who has the copyright and the non payment of royalties by Interplay, wonder if it will have any knock on effect for Decent Underground.

Looks like you can get Descent Underground dirt cheap in this bundle:https://www.indiegala.com/monday[/url] took the old descent games off steam (and everywhere else I believe) because Parallax Software hasn't been paid any royalties for almost 10yrs... that is messed up.

For some reason I thought this was already released and just forgotten about.... but it hasn't been released yet and they are not releasing Descent Underground this year because the want to do more balancing and quality improvements to it.

So its been three years I hope it has been worth the wait? Because I this game has been relatively silent or least under the radar because I thought it was already done :) haha



There is going to be SP/MP content in this game so that is a plus... Just not sure how much hype this game will build... I thought the trailer was meh :

Looking forward to this D1 as I backed it on Kickstarter. I wonder if they kept the Total Recall music?

Yeah they are still working on the game ;)

Looks like the game has a little legal trouble: (probably trademark related

It's actually a dispute between the game devs and the publisher, Little Orbit, that has caused delays. I am hoping they get that sorted out soon as it's been far too long.

Agreed, because I totally forgot about this game until I saw this in the news and I thought the game died didn't even know it was still being worked on ;) in the end its always about the money
