Cool! I forget if I had Descent or Descent II as a kid, but I remember it was really cool at the time. I'm going to have to try this out, thanks for posting it! And this is only a day old!

I'll keep an eye on it and maybe try compiling on Linux this weekend.

Do you remember if the level exit was the same video every time or a different flythrough per-level?

[โ€“] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

I don't, this was forever ago and I was very young.

I'm not seeing a license statement, where does it say MIT?

Edit: This is discussed here:

https://github.com/kevinbentley/Descent3/issues/32

Edit2: now its GPL

This confused me for a while because I don't pronounce the word that way... except sometimes I do but I can't think of what causes it.

If it builds and runs for me, I may build a Windows installer for it...

I AM SO STOKED!
