Hey guys - like many here I've been a huge fan of the Descent series since the original - Descent 2 helped me through an operation on my ankle and was a huge distraction from the tedium of hospital wards as a kid! Thank you!

My question is one of storyline which appears to have been uncovered so far...

  • I've seen mention that you're on the fence about including assets / references to the original Descent series. Does that include the storyline? There seems a lot of room to create a story away from the original Material Defender and focusing on another sector of space etc...

As an aside, I'd love for you to include and heavily reference the original Descent universe in some way. It has so much potential depth to be explored and - I hate to say it - that seems to be something I'm not seeing covered by other 6DOF titles being worked on currently.

I dearly wish every project success - but this one seems to have the best potential as a true successor to the original Descent games, rather than a 6DOF title with the occasional nod to it.

Good luck guys, I look forward to following this all the way.

Awesome, thanks for the replies! I've done the last couple - but like yourself not sure I can make this year, too much else going on at the moment - but who knows maybe see you there :)

Thanks Mike, the live stream and Kickstarter footage indicate a really good 'feel' to the gameplay and the proper sense of scale - fingers crossed for you and all involved! :)

Hey, I'm a bit late to the party but hope that's okay!

We've actually worked alongside each other at Nozstock - I thought I recognized your name from your website - hope you're doing well :)

A couple of questions if you don't mind...

  • Like others, I'm interested to know how you got in to the job in the first place? Did the military service come first, or the photography? Or both?

  • Similarly - quite a contrast going from military photography to music festivals - is that a personal passion? How'd you wind up at Nozstock?

All the best!
