Keg Party D3 "Text file"

Post by Duper »

So I was going through some of my old D3 files and ran across this. It's the text file for Keg Party. For those unfamiliar, it's the "about file" where there are explanations and thank yous.
Enjoy. Hard to believe it's been 26 years. Some names here I'd forgotten. Great memories.. Cheers folks.

There were at least 7 or 8 people that did some testing and checking out for me. And if you weren't mentioned, I apologize. After a while it all becomes a
purple haze... :P


I can't remember WHY I did this, although I have constantly asked myself this over and over and over... I have found that doing a port of one of the most popular levels in Descent history was a foolhardy thing to do as a first level. There will be many things people will like and hate about this D3 version. No..it's not EXACTLY like the D2 version...then again.. this isn't D2. I endeavored to blend the best of the D2 version with Descent3 characteristics. I believe I have gotten close. Your comments are welcomed as I will continue to make D3 levels and ports.. (arg) and it always helps to know what folks like and dis-like. Remember this one thing:

You can not please everyone.

SO, you must reach a reasonable compromise. Also, know that D3 DOES NOT light like D2. They run on entirely different approaches and is the bane of all would-be level Porters. ...BEWARE!!!! Also, if so inspired, scale up your map 5 units for every 20 D2 units. This will give an accurate feel as the 2 games are not scaled the same....

Again.. I want to thank all of you who helped me put this together. I would not have been this good if I had just done it myself. ( i hate my own pride ;P) and a Special thanks to Zonerie for the Great!!! Load screen. THANKS BRO!!!!!!

Now... quit reading and get playing!!! Go kik some Arse ;)
