I had heard the news a few weeks back myself, but it's still sad to hear again even now.  But, I'm still glad we got Overload at all. It's a fun game, and I certainly think it deserved a bit better sells than what it got. But if I'm honest, it was probably the divided attention with other games being produced at roughly the same time and rather limited marketing that probably limited Overload's chances.

So since Descent Underground (yes, I still call it that to differentiate) has had stressed its marketing side of it more, it might have a better chance...but I'm admittedly not too optimistic about it. It's development has taken much longer than originally promised and players are getting bored waiting, the focus on multiplayer over singleplayer was a let down to some players, and I still find people who seem unaware that DU is producing a singleplayer campaign at all (and thus hold it against DU), and from the latest footage gameplay footage Descendant released (which was, in of itself, a good while back now) the game stll just doesn't seem as well...refined. On top of getting the impression that the game's production has been getting more chaotic and rushed the closer it gets to a supposed release, I overall have worries the final product will not be quality product, at least not to the level Overload set, and may be, at worst, dead on arrival. Little Planet getting involved and, I suspect, pushing a complete change in the game's approach and how its marketed, hasn't helped.

Been quite a rollercoaster ride, that DU. 

What bugs me the most about all of this, though, is that the new games got the fans all excited about them that many seem to have left good ol' classic Descent behind in the dust, and it's felt like the fanbase has been slowly coming apart and moving on, so there is a fear this will all be the beginning of the end for it.

But, Descent's beaten the odds before...I mean, it's lasted this long, hasn't it? I just have to hope it will continue to do so in the future, I guess. 

While the Xbox release of Overload is imminent, it also comes with some sad news: other than another planned community map pack, Overload's development has ceased, citing poor sales.

According to an email sent to Kickstarter backers,

"We would have liked to do more with Overload -- more DLC drops (we will do another community DLC pack), new features, maybe a sequel.  Those things look very unlikely now.  We're gratified by Overload's strong user reviews and we love the community that has formed around the game. Nonetheless, sales have been disappointing and can't justify much additional work on the project.  (We know that people have questions about the long-term plan for multiplayer.  We're still figuring that out, but be assured we won't abandon our MP fans.  Whatever we do, there will be a way to play Overload multiplayer.)"

It seems as though much of the development team, including Mike Kulas, has moved back to Volition, and Matt Toschlog and Luke have moved on to other projects as well.

I think we all were hoping for a massive financial success for Overload, but we all knew it's a niche product for a niche crowd. Critical reception has been both limited and lukewarm, although praise has been virtually unanimous regarding its tight controls, clean and slick visual style, and killer soundtrack.

Still, I'm sure Overload will be supported by the community, as it has been from the beginning. Descent lives on and somehow continues to find new fans throughout the years despite competing with sixty-dollar flashy cinematic rail-shooters, massive open-world slogs, and and AAA role-playing grind-fests. I'm sure Overload will do the same. 

You are welcome.

I've never used this service before so let me know if there are any issues.

Well then, I noticed PD's copy of the file doesn't download properly, so we have a problem then.

As I understand it, the only way to get the levels would be to download them but just not use the included batch file. Problem is, the only version of the file I can currently find besides PD's is the one I already linked to you, which has since been updated in such a manner that it doesn't need that batch file at all, ruling out that method.

Unless someone else has an older copy of the file they can share (I do not), or can give a different suggestion, I can't locate a version of the file that will permit you to not include the weapon mods at present time. 

I suppose you could try getting in contact with Darkflamewolf herself, the mod's builder, see if she's willing to spot you a modified version of the file for you, but I don't know how active she still is in the Descent community currently.
