No, I mean there is no way currently to slide left and right. I can slide up with space and down with shift, but there is no left/right. It's like flying with an arm missing... As for the story, if it's an optional element, do you REALLY need it? Descent: mercenary that shoots robots and sterilizes ...

Not sure how I feel about installing something called "retrovirus" on my PC, but here goes... Cont: Ok, played the Alpha. I'm impressed, you've got a good tech demo here. However, as a Descent player. my gripes: 1. No horizontal sliding? 2. Unconfigurable controls? I don't want to play wit...

It looks...weird. Granted, 6DoF games always interest me, but it looks so weird in fact, that I don't think you're going to attract many buyers/players to your game. Nearly all of the Tron games, except the old Atari games, flopped pretty hard, Tron 2.0 barely managing to pull a profit. There's been...

Even better solution is my next project, using 3 HD projectors on an angled surface. /TT\ I've seen it done for in-home flight simulator cockpits and I'm curious to see how well it works for normal computing...

Awesome! Thanks Krom. Hmm...8-9k unique visitors. Well, it's a good start.

Valin Halcyon

Umm...since you have a modern mac, why not just bootcamp and be happy?

I was wondering, might our wonderful and awesome site admin share with us some usage statistics? Specifically, I'm curious about: 1. unique registered user visits a day 2. post per day and avg posts per day/user 3. total unique users who have posted in the last 3 months. Why am I curious? I've been ...

I bought 3x Dell 24" screens and removed their cases. I remounted them in their base casing and trimmed around the edges so that they'd fit together flush. Then I built a mount out of PVC tubing and mounted them to it with the 4-screw mount on the back of the original panel casings. Once mounte...

...and this is why you always use heat sinks on nearby components when soldering.

Found Agent4054.

Valin Halcyon

Garner is a web dev for some universities in England.

Think I found wEvil...

No line on Vertigo. There were too many people with the nick back in the day to figure out which one might be him and I don't remember his real name.

Narfig went over to the Into Cerebron project.

Valin Halcyon

No, He was always in Austria, even during the development of Descent IV.

Tricord seems to be an Accounts Manager at Google Ireland now, after a stint in the same job for Google Belgium.

Valin Halcyon

Found Eagle, he's CEO of a printing company in Austria now.

Valin Halcyon

I don't really care enough at this point. As a Designer, Diablo III is horrible. It's the skinner box that was Diablo II amped up to over 9000%.

Looking forward to Mechwarrior online.

Valin Halcyon

Agent4054 - found
wEvil - maybe?
Garner - found, N/A
Vertigo - no idea where to look
Tricord - found, lost to RL
Eagle - found, lost to RL
Narfig Agar - found

Lemme know if you have a working contact for any of them please. If you yourselves are reading this, please contact me!

The game now sucks hard. Officially. You now have to spend all your time grinding gold so you can afford repairs when you go to try and progress.

Valin Halcyon

Be sure to get a copy of Descent 1.0 for them to cut their teeth on that overpowered level 7 boss. They seriously nerfed it with the 1.4a patch.

Valin Halcyon

I'm surprised you didn't end up trying to go to Full Sail University (fullsail.edu). Their Game Design Master's program was excellent.

Valin Halcyon

I think I have it still somewhere. I know Capm used to have it. No idea if he's still about or not. I did find it on..the dark side..though.

Wrong box art, but you can buy it here.

7 Years in EVE for me. I'm currently CEO a corp of about 60 members, and part of a 0.0 alliance. (Blue to sys-k at that..) I've got a couple of ex-sys-k in corp too, btw. I play as Ticondrius. Look me up sometime. EVE is to modern games what Descent was in its time. That said, there's a lot of fail ...

Daggerfall was awesome, led me to play Morrowind and Oblivion.

Morrowind lived up to the huge scale of Daggerfall, and while Oblivion *felt* bigger, it wasn't really...and ended up being very much out of scale with the previous two games.

If you get the D2X-XL source, it contains the MVE/L library we use.

Valin Halcyon

OMGWTFBBQYES *scrambles to DL before the dream evaporates*

Valin Halcyon

No, I never did get the chance to do the other tracks. Also, it was pointed out to me that those D1 tracks in that pack I posted are rather left-biased for some reason. Perhaps the cable I used wasn't as good as it should have been. Anyway, DOSBox has a nice SB Pro OPL3 emulation mode where it uses ...

Valin Halcyon

Lemme point out these, since they were somewhat buried in Planetdescent.com: http://www.dfiles.de/download/d1/misc/music/d1_re-recorded.zip They're labeled as awe32, but they're really OPL2. Got mislabeled. These are the real deal, not generated from loops or MIDI to MP3 converters. It's actual anal...

The dancing guy image is such great avatar material.

Guy is a bit off in his singing on some points...kinda jarring.

There's a lot of really talented people on Youtube.

Valin Halcyon

Nice! So that's what all those commits for the network stuff have been coming from.

I'm working on an fmod implementation. Don't have a lot of time for it lately though. I'll get it done eventually.

Valin Halcyon

This last job didn't happen to be a callcenter or some such? If so, I'd not even bother listing it. Being \"fired\" isn't going to ruin your life, but lacking a skillset might. I'd either go back to school or try to teach myself something that's marketable if I were you. Ever consider prog...

I've just finished installing Win7 on my new machine. Looks like I well exceed the minimum requirements.

tpb is just the most visible..but torrents will always be underground.

Valin Halcyon

No, No D3 source. Why would you think we did?

Krom: ...or thepiratebay.org *cough*

Valin Halcyon

it feels so empty here now. Many of the forums haven't been posted to in half a year or more. It feels like even the community's work in extending Descent's life, and the experience, is over. I suppose we know what it feels like to belong to a WWII Veteran's club now. The war is long over, buddies v...

Valin Halcyon

I'd very much like a 12\" Pyro-GX (Eagle's). Did this project just evaporate? At least I still have all the original max and 3ds files for Eagle's GX. The reason ours came out so well was because, well, I was rather anal about the detail and so was Eagle. :P We used an enoumous number of screen...

Valin Halcyon

I bake pies from scratch. I'm particularly known for my pumpkin pie...which is a pain to make, because preparing the pumpkin takes so much time. Aside from Pumpkin, I make apple, sometimes cherry, strawberry and some others... It's not hard to make them. Just make a few dozen pie crusts in advance a...

I'd highly recommend jumping off the Nvidia bandwagon and going for the Radeon HD 4800 series, minimum. You can get a 4850 1GB card for $150 or so. The drivers these days are lighter than Nvidia's, and the cards perform a fair bit better for the price, not to mention use less power, and thus generat...

Valin Halcyon

Spidey, heh, what recent big war has not been started by the US? Tell me that. The US government would have the world seeing boogymen under every rock, boogymen that only they can destroy. Is it any wonder, then, that we expect you to fight your own wars? Over here in the UK, there's a lot of anti-U...

Valin Halcyon

Way back in the days of the GeForce 2 Ultra..I had one. And it came with revelator shutter-type 3D glasses. You had to mess with your monitor quite a bit to get them working well, for one, gamma on all my games had to be boosted, contrast raised to the max, and the brightness tweaked. THEN I had to ...
