Old Skoolers - Technology and Software UPDATES
Check out these efforts going on for improved Descent and Descent 2 game play!
D2X-XL A new High Rez version of Descent 2 to run on XP.
DLE-XP An ongoing project to improve the Level Editor and support XP.
Grendel is working on a Microsoft 3D Pro converter to allow you to dust off the old 3DPro and D2 or Descent and get in a game! read more here
There's a considerable amount of effort going on in and around the community.
I'll leave this as a Sticky Topic for project notifications.
Oh and BTW welcome home you ol'timers!
Please add to the list.

Me? Been trying to expand my powerbase and either a) learn to code well enough to design a Descent-style MMO all by myself, or b) win the lotto so I can start up a company and hire devs to do the coding for me! ;p
In the meantime, during my 'off hours', I focus on pl/sql and oracle dba knowledge, starting to learn php, python, lisp, C, and C++, and keeping up on the knowledge I need to hold onto so I can keep doing my day job. *laughs* The half-finished novel is, sadly, DOA until I can find the bandwidth to return to it.
Other than that... not much, I think. *looks around, confused, then stumbles off into room full of books and computers with a glazed look in his eyes*

Why it's here makes no sense, this thread is not trimmed.
Ferno's post should be about Descent Rebirth at least......
