Wow, I totally missed that anyone was
developing a new one, but then again there's so much cruft in
kickstarter these days, hard to find a reason weeding through it
to find something relevant anymore.
That however is a gem, and it looks beautiful. I only hope they
can deliver half of what they promise to, as watching their video
brought a tear to my eye. Going to their website,
http://descendentstudios.com, and getting "
Error displaying the error page: Application Instantiation Error:
Could not connect to MySQL." is not an encouraging start.
Obviously devlopers still can't sysadmin to save their lives (or
projects), hopefully they get someone with a clue to handle
scaling the backend for it to not suck.
Honestly, I loved the gameplay so much, I can still mostly look
past the 20 year old graphics to play it still, as I've never
found another game like it. Even the Decent3 version failed to
capture the essence of the game, and became relegated to the
graveyard of buggy windoze fodder.
I'm definitely keeping an eye on this now - see you in the
underground, I hope.

Wow! That was *the* game I played in high school. I
spent sooo many long nights playing Descent 1/2 with my best
friend. Our parents didn't realize we were tying up the phone line
to play that game but it was incredible.
Talk about fond memories. I've looked at it today and the graphics
are sooo cheesy, but hey, there is a remake and it is hopefully
going to be equally amazing!
