Re: 🤖 ai art 🎨 debate

Re: Descent 3 source code released

Great news! I haven't really touched Descent in ages, and I feel awful for backing Overload and then not doing much of anything with it. I had so many good times in D3, and if some usable updated builds come out of this, then it's high time that I dusted off my ancient 3D Pro.
