They made it!!!

$301K with just over two hours left on the kickstarter.

Time to dust off the joystick!

IIRC, Interplay don't have sequel rights to the story, only to 6DOF games called "Descent"

Could be very interesting.

Please check your PM's Fox.

Hi Folks. Quick update - I've sent Max at Sol Contingency an email to introduce myself and ask him how I can be of assistance. While I have lots of ideas on how they might be able to proceed, I don't have any right, or any interest, in charging into their project head-first and telling them what to ...

Good tip - didn't notice that there was a forum.

Cheers!

Gekko71

Alter-Fox... you have got to get Max to contact me ASAP!

I did some more sniffing around, and I think I can solve these problems for you - for good!

Seriously - have the guy email me!!!

I made another epic post on SC - reproduced here to ensure that the right people see it. Gekko71 commented: 17/10/2014, 09:17 UTC One final comment Max – While Interplay most likely cannot stop you making your game in Germany (assuming they have no registered in that territory) they *could* ...

Cheers Gekko.! 8) My pleasure Duper. Seriously! BTW if there are any developers floating about the boards still that have contributed in any way whatsoever to any of the previous Descent clones out there in the past (such as Dxx, D2X etc can you please give me a PM here on the .net boards? (don't ...

Gekko71

Check your email Alter-Fox - some interesting findings await you...

Gekko71

If you can find out we'd certainly appreciate it. Right now we're working on differentiating our game sufficiently from Descent that it can be our own IP... but if it does turn out Interplay couldn't legally use that C&D (and if we can prove it, that's probably important :P) it wouldn't be very ...

I haven't been on these boards in an age, but on hearing the news about Interplay I had to pop my head in. Anyone got the inside skinny on where things currently lie with this? I worked as the SVP of Licensing for an entertainment IP licensing firm for six years, and the letter Interplay sent smells ...

One FPS shooter that I'm really enjoying right now is Painkiller. Came out first back in 2004, bought the black edition very recently on Steam for $2.50. Reminds me hugely of the early days of Doom 1-2 IE: lots of different types of villans/demons vs one guy with lots of guns and ammo - and that's ...

Just got through the opening cut-scenes and accident - this is one hell of a mod!

I never played the original - I jumped into the series at HL2.

This is going to be fun!

Gekko71

They finally finished the bloody thing!!.

Installing the mod now - anyone had a chance to try it out yet?

Pretty neat. Isn't this how District 9 got started? Maybe we'll see something like this on the big screen soon. It looks pretty interesting. Yeah I think so, District 9 was definitely a short film first but I don't know if it was a student piece or not. I'd go see this if it came to the big screen ...

It's neatly 100 degrees outsde and I'm sitting outside, brushing away the flies and listening to my favorite xmas song of all time

Merry Christmas everyone - hope you're spending it with family you love!

It's an old joke - but this is a funny take on it.

I preface all my following comments by saying I am largely ignorant of many of the nuances of domestic american politics, so I hope you can forgive me any associated errors or omissions that may occur in the propositions that follow. I think we can all agree that what happened was a tragedy, and no ...

Hello vdwar - welcome.

Thank you for approaching the subject in an appropriate manner.

I'm not a mod, but given the subject matter, putting a single introductory post in the Other 6DOF games section is probably the best way to go for now.

EDIT: Flip beat me to it!

I've been trying to load their website for a month now - always the same result - completely illegible. Anyone else got this problem?

Gekko71

Beautiful! Thanks for posting Isaac.

Gekko71

Yes it's an advert, and one hell of an ear-worm to boot

...but as annoying ear-worm adverts go, this is pretty cute.

It was a total eclipse in far north Queensland - maybe Roid got a good view?

Gekko71

That’s funny…being annoyed at a storyteller because the story doesn’t turn out the way you wanted it to. :lol: Except he wasn't the storyteller. Lucas had very little involvement in the creation and production of the NJO except to say "No you cant kill this character, kill this one instead". Very tr ...

That is seriously sweet!

I can't code for nuts, or do level design ( ...or even play that well...

) but I wish you all the very best!!

Keep us informed!

Meh - Lucas sold out years ago, Nothing new here.

....Although "Use the force Mickey" in a Donald duck voice does have a certain ring to it.

I saw it, and I still don't believe it.

EPIC!

Didn't think of Amazon Krom, thanks for the tip. Ditching the PSU as well is a good idea, but it will really take me well over my budget, which is ridiculously tight right now so I'm pretty conflicted (**worst possible time*** for the MB to die! :x :( ) Amazon have these going for $105 which looks ...

It just struck me - my old i7 is a 1366 socket. Do they still even *make* boards for that footprint?

Hi guys. I suspect my work system is dying. I recently lost access to a couple of USB 2.0 ports (2 x front & 2 x rear) and after opening up my case to clean out the dust and check the USB connections, I now cannot get any signal out of my video card. I removed my graphics card and dropped in my son ...

Where is the key?

I have no key...

Hulk - tear his arms off

Oh you mean this key!.

Gekko71

It sucks. My own street is incomplete. How could they release such a poor product? Very good question. On the first site I linked to, some places in Europe features town names that haven't existed since WWII - other areas list landmarks that haven't existed for either years or decades. This to me ...

Many of these made me laugh...

Well If it's a bot, then (...given it's September...) now's the time to boot the Sherin! ... (Listen carefully folks..... ....that is the sound of my fellow Aussie DBBers groaning at the most truly god-awful pun I have made in years - that only an Australian would get.....) :mrgreen: :mrgreen ...
