Nice to see a dev on here.

Do you ever think the source of Descent 3 could be released?



jcotton as in Kali Jay Cotton? Nice to 'see you' again after all this time! (ps, I think it's funny we both put 42 at the end of our usernames).

Short answer is yes. It's probably on me to get official permission and strip out some code we can't legally distribute. I'm not sure how many people I want to look at my code from the 90's though. :)

I'll shoot an email to the owners and see if it's ok to get it up on github. It's not too much work for me to strip stuff out.

Afraid not, funny that I share a username with someone from Kali though.

As for the Descent 3 code, that would be awesome! D1 and D2 have been modernized through source ports, but getting D3 to work on modern systems has always been rough, and a source release would be an awesome starting point.

What would be the best place to keep tabs on for the release happening?



Thank you!

wrote several years ago?? ( no biggie, just a heads up )


Ha, thanks. But shame on you, you should have sent a pull request. :)


Woah, that was fast!
