Welcome to the DBB burgerbecky!

Hope to see some new Descent stuff from Olde Sküül in a near future!

Pumo

At any case, there's always a chance to buy it on Steam (when released of course) as a gift for him, unless SirWinner doesn't has a Steam account.

Pumo

Yeah, it almost feels like a dream, to have a new Descent after so many years!
We made it happen (both the backers and Descendent Studios), kudos to the Descent community for helping on this!

And congrats to Wingman and his team, this will totally kickass!

Pumo

AFAIK, the Torch can be earned in-game, but the Torch KS (that's a different skinned version) must be bought.

Pumo

IIRC, once a project reaches it's goal, Kickstarter won't let anyone to back off below the required goal minimum (to prevent trolling).
So if it reached 600,000 it won't go below that.
You can cancel pledges that counts beyond the 600,000 tho.

Pumo

And it reached $600,000!!!!!

W00T!!!!

Pumo

Now it's only 4K left! Let's make this a reality!

Pumo

Only 8% left on the campaign, we may have the chance to make it, so anyone here (that has not pledged before), pledge now to bring back Descent!

Pumo

Currently it only needs $48K to succeed! It's very close to its goal so it's a good time to pledge if we really want to see a new Descent game, w00t!

Pumo

Could it be something on Vision's side?
As I see that the number of backers and the total pledged keeps increasing every few minutes.

Pumo

I think in this case is the other way around.
The developers are totally open to Valin's offer, but he (Valin) stated that he would only invest if he feels convinced enough.

Pumo

That trailer is so good, it really makes drool!

Pumo

And so, any news about Descendent Studios and Valin's offer? Was he interested on the Tech Demo and he would like to invest or was not convinced?
(I ask this as we still need $120,000 for the campaign to succeed and there are only 32 hours left, and hope this post doesn't bothers Valin)

Pumo

Yeah, the campaign just entered into the most tense and stressful moment, it really needs its final rush right now! :o Just 48 hours to go, be sure to pledge now if you really want to make this happen! Also note there's a referal contest going out now, so if you gather backers you may have a chance ...

Pumo

Yes, this is the most important time to support the Descent: Underground project!
Let's bring a new Descent title on 2016, we need more Descent in our lives, isn't it?

Pumo

I also see you can win an AMD 295X video card if you participate through a Kickstarter referal contest!

Pumo

*Sigh* I can't help it but I'm still feeling a bit worried. There are just 4 days left on the Kickstarter campaign, and it still needs 38% to succeed! I know there will be a final rush on the last 48 hours of the campaign, but I feel afraid that it may not fully reach the $600,000 goal. Please any D...

Pumo

..Please stop sending me messages with a conspiratorial tone. Oh my, you're getting that kind of messages?!? I understand the parallel messages, and you may blame it a bit for that, as I contacted you, Dunkelza and Wingman in an effort to help both you and them to get in contact. But are you also r...

Pumo

My only real stipulation on bridging the KS to success (if the gap is waaay over the upper reward levels) is to see the GDD (they are living documents, I'll take what they've got) and a tech demo. I don't care if it's rough. I just want to see what they've got and exactly how committed they are to ...

Pumo

Well, I sent a couple of PM's to both Dunkelza and Wingman at the DS forums regarding Valin's posts and their offering (by redirecting them to the posts of Valin). Call me an oportunist and maybe a cinical, but if they manage to convince Valin's (that BTW is pretty right about being skeptical as an ...

Pumo

I think Valin's offering would work as an emergency switch, in case something goes bad on the last days of the KS campaign, and I feel that's a very good offer as it is!

But he's right, to make such a risky investment, he must be really sure he really wants to use his money that way.

Pumo

Well, TBH I think Valin has a valid point, specially if he has the money to help the project!

Pumo

Hey, that's pretty cool!
To see a SolC level de-mastered to be playable in D1 is a bit of a curious thing.

Will check it out.

Pumo

Yeah, I do have the same question. It would be such a shame if the work that is already done (like the maps and the gorgeous new powerups) goes to waste.

Pumo

Hey, welcome to the DBB dunkelza! I hope that some of the questions that many Descenters have around here gets answered with you around. Hope you enjoy your stay here! :D BTW, you might also want to check out the forums at Planet Descent: http://www.planetdescent.net/ As there's too low interest and...

Pumo

That's pretty cool! I'm pretty sure that with your assistance we will be getting an excellent game!
Let's just hope it reaches its KS goal. *worried*

Pumo

@PJB Indeed, you're totally right. In fact, there's some weird and contradictory attitude there at PD. This is what I had to say on their Picture of the Day topic: I find it cool to see SolC references, but why there's not ANY reference about D:Underground on the front page of Planet Descent? Ironic...

Pumo

...But let's think about the big picture here: this is supposed to be a forum for the discussion of Descent. And with new 6DoF games on the horizon including a new Franchise Descent game, it would be prudent to put the DBB's best foot forward and make this place look as nice as possible for potenti...

Pumo

Of course, they can be played easily with DXX-Rebirth and D2X-XL (or even DosBox for real purists).

Pumo

Well, I've not seen from part of Descendent Studios that 'stealing' attitude. Every thing we the fans has aported to the D:U project (ideas, concepts, etc) has been credited on the forums, and there are even MVP medals awarded to said fans and even featured posts on there. I haven't seen at any poin...

Pumo

Yeah, it needs to reach its goal to not get canceled: http://descendentstudios.com/community/ ... 3-what-if/
As Kickstarter doesn't bills pledgers nor gives the money to the developers if the $600,000 goal is not reached.

Pumo

That's what the studios behind Descent : Underground wants to accomplish: http://descentbb.net/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=21878
Or so they said, I hope they will achieve their goal so we can see a new quality Descent game!

Pumo

Hey, I want my custom rank too! (<- rant

)
Why everyone is getting a custom rank except me?

Pumo

Nooo, you're not missing anything!
Better to stay away from that hell's pit!

Pumo

Kewl, the D:U campaign finally reached $200,000! :D Let's support this project as it may be the last oportunity we have to get a game with the Descent brand! As already specified by the developers (on their forums, on the KS comments and even corrected on their main KS page): Yeah, it will include S...

Pumo

I think this quick message from the developers deserves a read: http://descendentstudios.com/community/ ... ng/?p=8752

EDIT: Also, it seems that their KS campaign page has been updated with a better video and better info about the project.

Pumo

Good to see this change in attitude Ferno! If this keeps going like that we will be having a new official Descent title AND a great Descent-based title for all in no time! Developers needs support from us the users/players/consumers to motivate them, and that will make them to make better products. ...

Pumo

I would like to add another quick reference to make clear that there's not pay-to-win (said by a developer of D:U): http://descendentstudios.com/community/topic/878-the-genisis-of-the-pyro-to-add-or-not-to-add-that-is-the-question/?p=8466 And yeah, better to look at things objectively. At the end we...

Pumo

I...This is the opportunity to see a mainstream Descent game, and if this fails, likely there wont be another attempt (if the KS fails, then that sends a message that there is no interest, and who's going to want to start a project after that?). From all I've read, there isnt a "pay to win&quo...

Pumo

For all Descent 2 level developers, I made a new custom PIG file that makes the Descent 1 palette available to use on Descent 2 levels. Mainly motivated by the Descent 1,5 project by Xfing, where he wanted to bring the Descent 1 feel into his Descent 2 levels, this PIG will bring back some colors on...
