64bit demo here: http://media.revivalprod.com/OverloadPlayableTeaser64bit.zip (Seems you can use DX9 as well...dunno why, perhaps for XP?)

I know they say this isn't finished, but, this just seems to be a direct port of Descent so far.

They only got 5 days to meet their $300K goal, doesn't look like they will make ~$25K/day.

Everybody go back this right frickin' now!

Thanks a lot for the heads up on that one (wouldn't have known about it otherwise).

I only looked at the short video on their kickstarter page and I could already feel the 1990s flowing in my veins. I only backed one kickstarter project so far, and I think I'll do it again for that one. I would genuinely play a full game like that again for sure. I own the GoG versions of all the Descent games and love them all for different reasons (Descent 3, however, is overall my favorite). I can definitely see a modern take on Descent and I'm glad they're doing it. I wish them the best with that project.

Wow, they did it.
They got their goal.
They made $70,000 and only had 21 hours left to do it.

This released today, actually looks pretty dang good if you were a fan of the original:

I loved the first three games, and there’s almost nothing like this out there so we should support developers who make different games. I'll be picking it up in the future.
