DD, have you seen the trend of procedurally generated space sims lately? Drifter, No Mans' Sky, Limit Theory, etc. Too bad you don't seem the type to consider the IAP gaming on devices. I think there's a few ideas there for not only big money making, but to make a quality old school type of game - not just some time waster/cash draw like Farmville. (worked in a company much like Zynga)
A while back I got the first two on gog.com if anyone is looking for it http://www.gog.com/game/descent_1_descent_2
I played the hell out of this game, and F22 Raptor, NASCAR Racing (Papyrus version) Need For Speed:SE, Age of Empires...etc Awesome times for PC gaming that's for sure.
Descent is great. I have it on Steam and still play it. I don't see how you can play on a gamepad though. Have to use a keyboard and joystick with a hat switch.
Hell yeah to those ones. I was also really into the LucasArts adventure games (Monkey Island, Full Throttle etc...)
Hell yeah. I had a hard time using the controls at the time though. Or maybe I just sucked at it. Lmao
Man, I'll try to back later, definitely loved old pc games like Descent! Haha, and remember all too well about gaming on a modem in Dos... Haha good times
Thanks Yonkers, we have been slammed doing all the campaigning, thanks for the backing and help us spread the word. We are live streaming today at 11 to talk about our roadmap and single player on our twitch channel. DD
So far 11 days in and 41% funded - going strong and if you want to come in, maybe I can make a special Clutch Fans logo for you! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/descendentstudios/descent-underground DD aka Wingman
I'm a supporter and have been following, DD. Glad to see it going well. Hope it finishes strong and you get what you need to make a great game.
Not only did I play the he'll out of descent ii, but I still listen to the sound track from time to time.
