    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)

    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. I had a hard time using the controls at the time though. Or maybe I just sucked at it. Lmao

    I never played the original but I'm impressed by how much improved your version looks.
