Hey all. We knew -- or at least we kinda hoped a little bit -- that this day would come. And it has come. Is anyone excited because I'm really excited. First off I've got the download links, everything else can wait till I've shared those. For some reason some of these forums don't like to play nice...

Just wondered if this was possible in the current version. My monitor's native resolution is 1920x1080 but I need to take a screenshot that's at least 2000x2000.

EDIT: Nevermind this thread; it's long been over and done with by now.

Hah. I did notice that Descent Underground had a lot more of that gritty used-future feeling than Overload did but for me that was mainly in the music.
Overload's art direction, if anything, makes me very very interested to see the direction the writer will be going with its universe.

Huh, Silkwing rings a bell... but I didn't become particularly active gaming or online until 07 so it's more likely I've just heard of you. :P Descent certainly taught the me of 21 years ago how to read maps and think in 3D so I would not be surprised. That... may be part of what turned my mind into...

I've known about it for a while and I have backed -- despite having no income for months. That should tell how much I care about this.

Well then, great minds think alike.

I thought the same. But then, those of the original devs who do still play (like Wentz) seem to like D2X-XL.
So, not surprising.

Sorry to hear about that... It's always the worst when you're having physical and mental health problems at the same time.
Glad to hear you're feeling better now though.

Yeah, Yoshi's on the right track. Cuz as it turned out we needed to do a bit more -- also getting the Eclipse into its current state took most of the time between then and mid-October.
I think it was worth it though...

Complicated stuff happened involving IP distancing among other things.

I'll certainly try to hop in for a few, but my work schedule is pretty erratic and my writing demands a lot of time at various times of the week so I don't know how often I can join.

I think there might be a secret door somewhere marked with red access?
Don't remember exactly.

Hopefully none of the levels got destroyed. That's only supposed to happen when we see the endlevel screens. For some reason. 8) I guess Pumi's so cool the mines just want to blow up behind him as he flies away. They're all auditioning for the explody building parts in one of those movies. You know ...

Yeah 20 is certainly a difficulty spike, and the difficulty stays spiked... One of the best-looking levels in there though. I haven't played these maps from a cold start so I wouldn't know what to do. Once I get to the point where I have all weapons I don't have too much trouble till map 25. And the...

Yeeah, I've tried that before and it doesn't work without port forwarding.
Most of the games I play are on LAN with my brother and a friend so it hasn't been a big deal for me. Descent is the only online gaming community I can stand for more than two minutes anyway.
