Classic PC game Descent being remade in Unreal Engine 3

Anyone remember this classic game? Well a lot of people still praise this game and one fan named Max decided to take it upon himself to recreate this classic game using Unreal Engine 3. Have to give him a lot of credit for doing this solo so far. Here's a list of what he's accomplished in a small amount of time plus his future plans along with a video showing it's current state.



Completed to date:
- Complete 6DOF movement with proper acceleration on every axis and double/triple chording
- Weapon system basics for primary and secondary weapons that can be fired simultaneously
- Laser and ball fire projectiles
- Basic robot AI, currently tailored to the Class 1 and 2 Drone
- Spawn points for easy placement of robots in a map

The following features are on the table for the full game:
- A retelling of the original story
- Remakes of the original levels, with an emphasis on a thriller/horror atmosphere
- Remodeled and animated original robots with advanced AI
- All the weapons from Descent with potential new ones mixed in
- High-detail Pyro-GX ship model with 3D cockpit view
- More diverse gameplay, but with a strong focus on the basics that made Descent great

Since there is so much to do with this project he is asking for help from talented developers to help with models, textures etc. If you feel like you have what it takes send him an email to madmax1998@gmail.com. For further updates hit up his website Descent.Silverball-Magic
