Sorry for the disappearing act folks, its a very long and hard story and some day we would love to sit down and tell it and I'm sure it'll be told.

Until then we appreciate all of the support you have given us and hope for further support in the future.

Sincerely,
Zach Briggs

Domain fixed. My apologies.

zbriggs

You mean like.... Core Decision....

zbriggs

Actually there is more to it than just a trademark. We did a great deal of research before starting on our current path. The trademark is just the ability to use the Descent logo and the name in conjunction with a game and more specifically a sci-fi shooter. The copyright is still owned by Parallax ...

You will learn to like it as time goes on. It will feel strange for the first few weeks.

Looks good. If you experience problems with load times or swaping I would seriously consider investing in a 7200 RPM hard drive.

The only other concern I would have would be the LCD speed but given the standard that shouldn't be a problem. Looks like a good choice to me.

Tablet? Thought it was smaller than "notebook". The notebook I plan on getting (ASUS A8JS-4S013P) will be my next system (hope Core Decision runs well on it) and that's smaller than what Roid wants. I wanted something that would be as good as a new PC from scratch for games, hence the processing ...

GameNet is an operational product. We presently have 32 companies using it. A release point every two weeks would be optimal giving us time to locate and report all of the bugs.

zbriggs

I wish you had talked to me about this before jumping to this conclusion. Please do not push the responsibility of this onto the Core Decision team members, they had nothing to do with it. This has always been a voluteer effort and to my knowledge none of the Core Decision studio was involved. I was ...

Thanks for the help. It seems to have fixed itself when I installed Exchange SP2.

This topic could be closed or deleted now admins.

Hey, we have ran into some problems with installing our Exchange Server and I was wondering if anyone here would be able to help us with it. Wasn't sure but you never know what experience some people have.

Thanks,

yeah. We are on the east coast, it was down from 7:00a to about 11:00a.

zbriggs

We can't do anything with the Descent levels. Users are welcome to do anything they want but due to the sensitive nature of our product and the close similarities it has to the game Descent we feel that it would be stepping across a boundary that we cannot afford to cross.

Sincerely,
Zach Briggs

how the hell do you deal with its deadzone? its huge!!

We use X45s and X52 for alot of what we do. And the deadzone is adjustable.

I read something about that a while back. I will see if I can find the article again.

OK, Originally it was only intended to be a Windows game, then we expanded it as code permitted to be cross-platform. At this point we are looking at Windows, Linux, Unix, Mac OS X, and XBOX 360 with a possibility of PS3 being released at the same time. As for isolating you because you won't ...

You there are call back systems in 2000 as well. Most software has station keeping procedures in it of some sort.

Does it use .NET 2 or something? What would make you say that? Well that cuts me out. Guess Im a Descent3er for the forseeable future. You know this game isn't coming out until sometime in 2007, I find it hard to imagine that you wouldn't upgrade by that time. Nevertheless, like I said, we may ...

zbriggs

Actually at present you have to have Windows XP SP2 if you are going to use Windows. We may expand the scope as things progress but that is currently the requirement.

Um... Indika had a lot of polys being rendered at one time, but I've beaten 3000 polygons in Descent 2 levels. Go into Descent 2 and try to create a level that at any given time has 1.2 million polys in view and handles real-time radiosity as well as soft shadows, normal maps, bump maps, and ...

Resolution kinda sucks, but very interesting! On par with D3? They look like crap if you ask me. I mean they are like what, 380x200 res? It's pixelated to the max for me. That was the compression on the JPEGs, we have a zipped version that the compression is a little better. Well, they are nothing ...

This has been corrected. In the future if you see this problem please email me at zbriggs@highoctane.biz.

Thank You.

I can understand Zach but if I was in charge of PR, I wouldn't release dark pictures with no textures to the public and then having to explain why they are dark etc. My monitor is fine with everything I view, play, etc. So I don't think I need to adjust my gamma to see the pics better. That was ...

zbriggs

No offense but that's not eye candy. Those pics to me are horrible. Dark, not much light, the Pyro looks like crap. Now this is most likely alpha/beta so I'm sure it will change a bit before done. First off they are supposed to be dark. We already stated that this game is more like Descent 1/2 and ...

zbriggs

BTW, anytime you guys see that we have dinged that bandwidth quota email me at zbriggs@highoctane.biz and I will resolve it ASAP.

Well, you still have Core Decision and Into Cerberon on the way. Descent can never really die. Welcome back, RatHead. Interplay cancelled the trademark to Descent in 2002. Theoretically, High Octane could rename Core Decision to Descent IV or some other Descent name. No because there is still a ...

zbriggs

Actually I think the limitation is PS 2.0; The engine supports 3.0 presently but there are fallbacks for 2.0. If you look at the specs on the engine and the minimum requirements posted here you should find the acceptable range.

zbriggs

Actually this is very true about the multiplayer experience being key. Part of what let Descent live on for so long is the multiplayer experience and the community support. As for CS, actually when I bought Half-life 2 I bought the collectors edition because I like Half-Life and the entire time I ...

We designed the game to be more like D1/2 not like D3.

They were three categories,
-Computer Systems
-Laptops
-Upgrade Kits

I would be happy if there's a bundle consisting of the game and a good grafics-card (at a good price). @Zach: Will there be such kits in europe too (without high shipping prices destroying the good cost/performance ratio??? Austria Most likely, we would just have to utilize our manufacture's ...

Yes, you're probably good to go.

zbriggs

I wouldn't register, TEXAS but its NOT because I'm not excited about the game. I'm just afraid that my 1.3ghz machine won't be able to handle it. SO, I'll be waiting for it to arrive so I can see what kind of computer I need to find an excuse to BUY so I can play core decision. :) Which is why I ...
