Overload - a re-imagining of Descent

Recommended Posts

Hi guys, I'm sure someof you remember the old 6-degrees-of-freedom shooter Descent. Some of the former devs are already working on a spiritual successor called Descent: Underground, while some others have started a Kickstarter campaign for their re-imagined version called "Overload".

You can find the Kickstarter here:

I hope the link works:

Now since videos and pictures only tell half of the story, the devs just released a playable teaser of the game.

The teaser is Windows only, but it's said to be working quite well under Wine, you you Linux guys might want to have a look.

The campaign desperately needs your support. In four days it will be over, and currently only half the sum has been collected. So if you loved the original Descent and are interested in its successor, please help and back it!

If I could get a digital copy of the game for (max) £10, that would be cool - but £25 is too much for a reskin of a game that I enjoyed when I was a teenager but doesn't quite hold the same appeal now as it did then...

 

 

teh_saccade, it's not 25 GBP but 25 USD, which translates into 17,62 GBP. Still not peanuts, but somewhat more afordable. Also, I played the teaser with mouse+keyboard and felt right back home. Also, you can see the 17 GBP as kind of an investment, because if the game gets kickstarted (against all odds, I might add), you'll get the classic mode:

Anyway, the game's been founded, although it was a close call in the end!

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).
