Descent Shareware Overloaded

[Yinut]

Descent Shareware Overloaded is the shareware portion of Descent rebuilt from scratch for Overload. I wanted to do something special for the 25th anniversary of Descent and even though I'm off by a few months, the year is still ongoing. I couldn't have done this pack alone, so I'd like to thank quite a few people for their contributions:
Arne for making OLMod, levelpost and helping out the community a lot in general.
Chilly_Bus & Miasmic for proofreading the briefing and pointing out some improvements.
Fisholith for the recoloured arrow decals.
MadHattie for making the Earth skybox.
Vertigo Fox for helping out with the classic Descent music and playtesting/feedback.
Terminal for helping with custom assets in the first place way back when.
Yoshimitsu for 3d-modelling and exporting the PTMC logo to Overload.

There are two versions of this map pack:

The regular version with Overload music: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cNHaFxHeJP5T1qFizW_Lj_GHjJH1t56c/view?usp=sharing

The custom music version with re-recorded MIDIs (1, 2, 3, 5) by Sidhe Priest and Redux tracks (4, 6, 7) by Vertigo Fox (this version requires OLMod to work): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1AEiRgLso2sBKFiqKpSQK77bL5ziadG-F/view?usp=sharing

Yinut, I played through your creation and it ROCKED!! Really evoked the same feelings I got from my playthrough 25 years ago. Thanks so much for all the work I know that had to be!!

[Yinut]

Thanks so much Maxx! I'm really glad to hear that you enjoyed it. Regarding the time it took, I worked on it over the summer so about 3 months on and off.

Now this is cool!!!

[Gorified]

This sounds awesome! Just downloaded it and can't wait to jump in. Thanks for making this!

[RunninWideOpen]

Thanks for making this!

I really enjoyed playing through this again, thanks for making it !

What is the possibility of re-making the whole of Descent either as a paid DLC or a standalone game ? I'd happily pay for it if that's possible.

[Yinut]

Hey glad to hear you enjoyed it, about the rest of the Descent campaign, a few people and I are actually working on the rest of the campaign, but it's a pretty long-term project and will probably see the light of day near the end of 2021, at least that's the initial prediction.

[True Defective]

Thanks, that's great news, I'll look forward to playing the full campaign. Good luck with the project !

Guys this is such a gift to us all. What a brilliant effort by all the contributors. I'm a real rookie at this but completely love what you've done here. I really appreciate all your hard work.
Thank you.

[True Defective]

Awesome, I'll try those levels very soon thanks.

[FolkSong]

Wow, I was hoping for this ever since the game first came out! I used to play Descent as a kid on the family computer.

[Roverton]

Thanks :)

I found a bug (unless it's just on my system);
In the mars military base level, (level 10 I guess) in the ending scene you don't see the spaceship flying through the tunnel.
Also for me there was a line through the "time played" statistic after that level.
