    Hey gang,

    As many of you know I did a Kickstarter to bring back the 6 degrees of freedom FPS game Descent - we are now on Steam Early Access.

    If you like a fast paced arcade shooter, give it a whirl.

    Come on by, say hello - my handle on the site is Wingman.

    Thanks everyone!

    Very cool, I remember this game back in high school.

    Not really my genre, but best of luck to you.

    Nice work! I used to play Decent back in the '90s.

    A question for you since you used to work on Star Citizen: Is that game ponzi scheme or do you really think it'll come out?

    Oh sweet I might pick this up. Any chance you play regularly, Wingman? I wouldn't mind playing with/against a fellow CFer.

    It's intriguing because I loved Descent back in the day...but I don't really play video games anymore now that I sort of grew up. So I'll probably pass. Hopefully the majority of your demographic doesn't have a similar problem.

    Congrats DaDakota.

    This is the game that made me retire from FPS games. My killer Wolfenstein muscle memory only hurt me in a 3D world.

    I just went ahead and bought it. Played it on test mode and against the bots and remembered how much I sucked at Descent but enjoyed playing it. Also remembered it was the only reason I bought a joystick. One of the best players I played with back then used a keyboard.

    Now to recover from my dizziness and shellshock after only playing 5 minutes. lol.

    I Kickstarted it and just downloaded it yesterday. Only got to play a little bit but it brought back great memories. Seems very slick already. And damn, I really suck at flying now.

    A free Steam key to the next 5 people who post in here, I will put it in your REP.

    And Clutch and any Mod will get one too, I owe them at least that much.
