Not bad my friend. I am assuming you used all of the default VST's that came with FL? One thing I would add would be some underlying effects like delay and reverb here and there.

REAL Descent Music...

I've been a listener of this genre of music for a while, but this release was something I should share with you guys. The first track right off the bat seemed to feel like a track straight out of the game. These are no MIDI scores though.. these are real synthesizers and sampling. Previously release...

Re:

It would still be the same game. Look at what has been done already: New fx, new gfx, new models ... but still true to the original.

In my honest opinion, any more heavy improvements to the graphics engine is just too much for me. It wouldn't be Descent 2 anymore and it wouldn't have the classic feel it did back when it was still around. That's one of the promises I have for myself with my project... making the textures with more...

I have already included a texture quality slider in render options to allow for compressing the hi-res textures to 256x256, 128x128 or even 64x64 (although the last doesn't really make much sense).
