Re: Just found out about this...

Stopped playing this for a year and got back to it just now. Then realized why I stopped. It's stupid hard....on normal difficulty no less. Not even any of the 3 Descent games had THIS MANY hitscan like enemies. It's near impossible to dodge if you do not see them first. And they're typically groupe...

Re: A CTF map based on London's Canary Wharf

This is a far cry from a 'boxy' level of Minerva days, so I am very happy to see something like this being made for the follow-on Overload. Good job! Looks great and good flow and design!

Re: Rate the game!

Yeah, I seriously don't have time and there is a lot of imbalance in the enemies and weapon loadout that really hamper enjoyment of the game. I really find that the 'feel' of Descent isn't as strong as when I play the actual series.

Re: Differences between insane / ace

I know The Enemy Within had an insane difference between Insane and Ace mods in terms of how hard Robots were. I also made a change between Trainee and Rookie where there was a stark difference on trainee and you could pretty much beat the entire level set with eyes closed on that difficulty setting!

This message is specifically for Pumo, Darkhorse, Sirius and anyone else who contributed to Vignettes. Remember that one time this company came to us to sign this contract so they could port Descent 1 to the Wii and have Vignettes be like a DLC sort of add-on for people to play with the port?

Why go after dated designs and build new maps and designs centered around the new gameplay mechanics and physics?

Re: D2 Single-Player: Plutonian Shores

In terms of difficulty curve, Bahagad and Lost Levels were my 'learn as I go' sort of level designing projects. Enemy Within was a bit better in this regard, but in terms of complete and imo perfect difficulty curve, Descent Vignettes seems to have this pretty well set.

Re: Windowed mode

Doesn't matter anyway. OBS won't even update the Descent window as it is being captured. So whatever it loads up on stays on the OBS screen during recording. So I'm playing through a window, but OBS still has me on the main menu title screen.

The level designs feel simple and quaint. They are getting bigger from level to level, but unsure if we'll see outdoors like in Descent 3 or if it'll all stay indoors. The robots are actually quite hard to tell apart except for a few exceptional ones (I'm looking at the Diamond Claw remake).
