DESCENT is back!

$37k to go!
It's really picking up speed now!

We'll be hitting the stretch goals I think.
This game is going to be amazing. And it's about time...it's been a 16 year wait!
Elite sure has lived up to its potential, and so will Descent!
 
Just now...

They've done it! :)
 
Descent:Underground is FUNDED!
The KickStarter campaign is over and the game is pushing forward.

pre-alpha (proving grounds) in starts in August, Alpha in October, Beta in January.

The game can still be purchased, along with the add ons, at the Descendent Studios website:

Now the devs arent limited to the KS payment constraints, so Pay Pal and Credit Cards can be used.

PREPARE FOR DESCENT!
 
Thanks for the heads up. I skipped it during the kickstarter for reasons I can't remember, but $15 usd for renewed childhood memories is a bargain.
 
Somehow this doesn't tickle me the way overload does.

Agreed. It pains me to say this, but Descent Underground just doesn't have the same feel, the vibe of danger and darkness. It feels more like Forsaken than Descent.

Overload on the other hand just oozes quality and character - though it remains to be seen whether they can match the original. Their aversion against the Thief bot is a bit disturbing, I loved to hate the Thief :)
 
Wasn't going to back this one. Fingers burnt with Star Citizen and well with this being driven by two ex CIG head honchos I stayed well away. Maybe that's unfair of me to judge it in that way.
 
I just recently replayed the original using the DXX Rebirth source port. The gameplay holds up, and with the graphical updates to modern resolution it was just like old times with a fresh coat of wax!
 
installed and tried to play a game, there was ZERO other people playing so I logged off and uninstalled.
