Just when I thought we were completely toast, suddenly the book of code emerges from the tomb!

Now that's exciting news, and hopefully it means a big D3 revival among the Descent community will be imminent!

Long time no post, I wound up here by a chance encounter with Kaiaatzal on a totally unrelated guitar-gear YouTube comment. It's a small world 

This is awesome news! Would love to see widescreen support and controller support come out of this, particularly.

Actually booted up D3 the other day just to see if it would even start on Windows 11, and I was surprised to find that it not only worked but seemed rock solid for the hour or so that I played. But 1024x768 is a little long in the tooth, especially those of us with ultrawides

You'll be happy to know someone developed a new game engine called PiccuEngine. Natively supports high resolution and improves mouse controls a bit. No controller support yet, and there's some minor texture/rendering issues, most notably on Squids, but it's enough of an improvement that I dusted off D3 and played through Retribution in the past couple weeks.
