Much love for this community. We're all ears, whenever you guys have something to offer.

If anyone's going to be at PAX or PAX Dev, we'll be around. Find us! Best via twitter, @cadenzagames.

So we're actually out to the public for preorder. Preordering comes with alpha. It's via Gamestop... but before you flinch, don't worry! They're being really great about it. You download their client, download the game, and then it's up to you whether you want to keep Gamestop's client installed ...

I've had a lot of good conversation with Mobius already! He's not with the team, but we're realizing the more we go on that we need to be very open with our development process. Having conversations about the editor, about Descent features, and about current Retrovirus design is really great. In a ...

If we're talking about Trichording, our game still doesn't support it. We're going to make sure the editor is capable of it, so a Descent total conversion with that kind of accuracy is possible for you guys

Valin: I want to get some specifics from you. What do you mean by "no horizontal sliding?" The slide vector can be adjusted using WASD Space + Shift depending on how you want to feather it around. Configurable controls are coming. This is alpha, so we're still working on stuff like that! Joystick ...

We released an alpha demo because we think the game itself will convince more people than anything else to contribute to our Kickstarter.

Give it a whirl? http://www.gamefront.com/files/21916917 ... oSetup_exe

Still looks like we're going to fail hard at Kickstarter. We're trying, but we really just need more people to see it.



We're going live on Own3d tonight in ~3 hours for a stream. Come check us out! www.own3d.tv/cadenzainteractive

We're streaming tonight at 6:00pm Pacific US time, and again tomorrow at the same time! Starting in ~30 minutes.

Lots of news!

Yeah, Miner Wars looks sexy too :) The concept of building stations in space in a game that has more action than EVE strikes me as good all-around. We're gonna be doing two streams this week in support of Kickstarter. I'll be back here to post about them once we decide on the time for the second ...

Well... I just bought a prepaid credit card to buy a new synth from Image-Line, and it kind of turns out I had just over 60 dollars left on it... I guess I know what I'm doing with that 60 :D. lol <3 The support means a lot coming from this community! We're gonna have some images of the manual, t ...

It seems like the indie game thing to do right now is run a Kickstarter campaign, so naturally that's what we're doing: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cadenzainteractive/retrovirus Why? Well, we went through our finances, and meeting our goal of releasing the editor at game launch was going to ...

Our livestream is going to be delayed this week until tomorrow, June 7th at 6:00pm Pacific. Sorry for the delay, we're going to be busy catching up on some deadline stuff.

In any case, please pardon those here who want the hardcore 6DoF action (including me). I'll have to reconcile myself to the fact that RV is going to be targeted at a shallower learning curve, and hope it's still something that "feels right". I'm looking forward to something playable at some point ...

A casual multiplayer game has to be easy and accessible to the level of casual gamers or they will quickly abandon it out of frustration. So getting casual gamers in while preserving the feel of multiplayer Descent is probably impossible because multiplayer Descent is practically the dictionary ...

Krom: The kind of modding you're talking about--ship congfig, weapons, and the like--can already be done in Paragon. Very easily, in fact. :) We're always kind of curious about why the 6DOF genre vanished. We've seen games devote little slices to the idea, but nobody has made a full 6DOF game. I ...

Krom: Well said on modding. Our editor is a releasable thing. We're going to need to build up a lot of documentation, but modders will likely step into it easily. Maybe the attempts to get Retrovirus playing as much like Descent as possible will come via the community.

I'm streaming on own3d.tv/cydereal if you want to watch some Retrovirus crunch development. Not for long tonight, and "off the record" as it were. Just figured I'd extend the invitation.

The number of games I really want to play is HUGE. My time is limited. We're going to be bringing in some members of this and other Descent communities to hopefully arrive at something that hardcore communities like. If you're really opinionated and knowledgeable on the matter, we'd love to hear ...

And this is why this community is fantastic..! So. Yes, right now we're a bit more on the direct "point and click" movement style, but there is a limit to how quickly you can rotate. In our earlier builds this effect was more pronounced, and it made flying well a rewarding thing in its own right. My ...

Hello friends! My apologies for the thread necromancy, but I was directed here from another Descent-related forum (DXX-rebirth). I'm Cydereal, the game designer for Retrovirus and that annoying guy talking on stream, for those of you who checked it out. We're really excited about our game, obviously ...
