Turning: will have limitations to it since we are also going to be applying the game to Xbox360 and there will be different ships with different turning speeds. Joystick will still be applied. But as I told you before guys the problem these days is that many gamers on PC dont have joys. That is stat...

On slow lasers: no lasers for our game :) its set in the near future. I dont believe energetic weapons will be used for destruction seeing the current state of things. On them being slow? Heck they are slow in every game I know and I find it hard to believe in \"them\". We are using curren...

Joystick support

so just to clarify :) I see that you old timers here are almost having a hearth attack of joystick talk :) Joystick was the number one selection for Descent. Mouse was unplayable. We made it in a way that you will be able to use joystick but you will be far better off with mouse because these days t...

Re:

Guys, have not been very active on the forum, but most everyone knows me from the Descent games over the years. I have been watching Miner Wars with great interest over the past 6 months, and my honest opinion is that this is as close as anyone will ever get to a game that exemplifies everything we...

Release the team and all that crap :)

Guys its not a secret that we are a small team. We are a startup and were pushing our game and studio to be as big as Interplay was back in the old days. Do you seriously think that a high-end studio like EA or Ubisoft would have the balls to put 100 MIL EUR into a descent project? The answer is no....

Roid said- "The asteroids can be of such epic size that you could have an entire hollowed out "Descent" mine structure in there." There was a quote by the original developer on their website, talking about how they could eventually have fully destructible asteroids that are the ...

Re:

With so many people in there, the tunnels will quickly hollow out bigger and bigger from all the missed shots. The landscape could look quite interesting, neighbouring tunnels eventually meeting up with one another until the landscape simplifys down to just one huge raggity hollow misshapen sphere ...

Re:

In my opinion the first thing a company should release is a working demo…and not all of this tease. Spidey how do you envision us getting enough audience in order to pay for the game development mate? :) Silence and then releasing a demo wont make things work I am afraid. Thx for all your positive ...
