Uhm... I'm not sure that was meant literally.
If Karx does know that for sure then I'd like to know where he got that information -- because I'm pretty sure said statement was intended as speculation.

Sure it's speculation, but based on his interactions with them. As a professional in the same industry I find it a very believable scenario. The iphone/app store boon has made it possible for anyone with half decent programming skills to start publishing apps, ports of old games are especially seen as low hanging fruit so there's plenty of companies like G1M2 masquerading as "development studios" when they're actually just some hobbyists with a devkit.

It was a conclusion from what the G1M2 "head" said about his "lead dev". I reckon there are, or have been, more people working on it, e.g. to create the cockpit graphics. While I have no proof, my impression however is that there is only one coder working on it.

Is that entirely a bad thing, though? If they still release a satisfactory product, what is there to complain about?

...


This is probably where Karx reminds me of how much of a coder I am not.  :-\

Is a question of the work ethic of the small number of 'developers' involved, I suppose.

Well, back in the old NES days, games were made up by a group of 4-6 people, max. So the fact they are a small band of 2-3 doesn't surprise me.

I'll go for late November, around the time of my birthday.

Off-Topic real quick... When in late November is your birthday? Mines Nov. 26.
I like to think I have a Descent taste of music.

Mine is June 20th if anyone cares. :P
As for this, Scott hasn't responded anytime recently to my emails, who knows the status of it now.

Quiz number #1; and prize comes from Alieo himself if he cares :)

Question: My age is his least favorite number. Of course, my profile would probably say it anyway  :P

- Traditional PD topic derail -

Darn, I keep checking this thread hoping to see something about the game might actually be coming out soon, but it's still off on some other random topic, I guess the best I can do is to just use this thing http://product.half.ebay.com/Techmedia-3D-ZoneMaster-Game-pad-4-button-s-wireless/46842470&tg=info...

- You may resume your some other random topic now -

Aha! You're 28A! It's okay. 30 will come rescue you soon enough and everything will be JUST FINE!  :P

Maybe I shouldn't attempt to answer because I kind of know you're 29.
And you will be 30 when I'm 22.

Wait... I think I messed up my "shouldn't attempt to answer".

new forum.............new rules? we're in trouble

(edit: I can't believe I was looking at that picture for a few seconds before realizing what that meant)

I have a feeling WillyP is going to know where that picture is saved on the harddrive/server.  :D

Okay, on track (no real pun intended with picture), I still see Descent one behind another game. no first/second/third quarter, just 2011.
not much left of the year.
