    Our company is rebooting the video game Descent. It is a Six Degrees of Freedom vehicular combat game fought in twisting turning tunnels and wait until you see it on the oculus Rift.

    Heck here it is in video be sure to turn on the HD.

    <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/769FJzQR9Jw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    We are entering the final 3 days of our campaign and could use your help.

    Even if it is not your thing, help us spread the word - we are tracking to get that final push to make it, so join in the fun.

    Thanks.

    DD aka Wingman over there.

    Thanks Bandwagoner!

    @Pele - no but I spoke on the Geek stage about crowdfunding at SXSW.

    Also you guys will get a kick out of this, I am speaking at the Heartland gaming expo on Saturday in Tulsa about 16 hours after our campaign ends, either with the background music of "We are the champions" Or the "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald".

    ;)

    No way!! That's so cool. This is the game that made me realize I simply cannot keep up anymore in 1st person shooter games.

    I just thought of this, if you backed, I will make a special Clutchtfans decal for your ship in our game - something that only us Rocket fans will be sporting.

    So back, post it in here, and you will get the special clutchfans skin for your ships.

    @Bandwagoner - just SPOILER it.

    That is another story all together, basically the CEO wanted to move all Sr. Management to LA, and I am NOT moving to LA.

    Texas all the way baby.

    I would never get to a Rox game if I moved to LA, so uh, yeah, not an option.

    Thanks DD, I backed last week and was expecting to see a thread from you here at some point. I actually bought the 3D Logitech Cyberman mouse for the original Descent thinking it was the future of gaming.

    We are all working for free at the moment, so this will allow us to finish the project and get paid a small salary while we do it.

    Star Citizen has money, Descendent Studios does not.

    Hopefully the Oculus Rift market is strong enough for you guys to make profitable games. Its still early stage right now, there aren't even real consumer models out yet; waiting for Crescent Bay.
