With the 50th anniversary of the 911 rapidly approaching, and the price of early 911s (long bonnet: prior to 1973) going through the roof, and the prices of S models going nuts, I thought I should buy one, and bring it back to life for the anniversary. My care was new in Spain, spent some time in ...

I'm gonna be a little late to this party. my good ol N50's hat switch is on it's last legs. That and there are no drivers for it anymore. So i'll jump in as soon as I get a new keypad. Ferno, I have an old N50 Speedpad which has had maybe 4 hours total use. It's just gathering dust. Do you want it ...

...I didnt see a demo on steam yet....is one coming? There will be no demo. How does this compare to Descent? That depends on who you ask I guess. I would classify it as "The Next Best Thing to Descent 4". Now rush out and buy 10 copies, so that Interplay see the genre isn't dead. In terms of ...

If you just can't wait: http://www.desura.com/games/retrovirus I imagine Steam will be available very shortly. The final update is live on Steam for key holders: Go to Games option and select "Activate product on Steam" and punch in your Steam Key. As fate would have it, I have to drive into ...

Mobius

Not sure about that.

I guess they switch it all on at the same time?

Mobius

Same!

I have several other projects on the go, but I will still find time to document the final changes at RetrovirusHelp: http://4sure.co.nz/retrovirushelp/

Greetings all. Tomorrow is when you will be able to finally get your sweaty hands on Version 1.0 of Retrovirus! (Less than 20 hours from the time of this post.) Available via Steam and Desura. The game has moved on substantially since the Beta version, with many visual upgrades, and a new video ...

I uploaded the Opening Cinematic for you:

The Dedicated server is a stand-alone app, but it is only 49KB in size, so it requires the rest of the installation to work. Foil: check your PMs. The release date has changed, not because of any slip in the schedule, or any problems whatsoever. Cadenza's research has shown that indie-games released ...

Mobius

Right you are, Ken! Anyone who has purchased any version of the game gets the Beta and the full game also. I am still the only person running a dedicated server, so someone in the USA hosting too, would be much appreciated. The install package comes with a dedicated server app. Due to the anti-lag ...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLw-id6Z6wg Beta should be available tomorrow. The game is playing extremely well. You will be able to buy the Beta directly from Cadenza Interactive, and upgrade free to the final game when it goes gold. That should be on or about the 12th December is my understanding ...

Oh, Woodchip, when will you learn the difference between "have" and "of". I know that people saying "Could have" or "Could've" can *sound* a little like "could of", but seriously, no one with more than 2 years of highschool should ever make this mistake. Let's put it this way, if anyone ever says ...

Sorry, but this is NOT a Space Sim. If you can fly a ship like an aeroplane, then it is nothing even remotely like a simulator, because a real space sim shows that individual fighters can't possibly ever exist in a space environment: even if you have unlimited Delta-V. And that will never be the ...

These predictions are pretty much 100% bull★■◆●, sorry people. Firstly, making predictions like this, to 200 years in the future is 100% pure bull★■◆●, but the predictor has made some very fundamental mistakes which allow us to completely discount everything he or she says. Why can't we predict even ...

Look, this is all academic. The fact is, the world is warming and it does not matter why . If we want to look at the core reason the world is warming, we don't need to blame the sun, nor human beings regardless of their inputs into the equation . Why? Because we can't change the output of the sun ...

Not the only connection: The "Desktop Hills" first level in the single player game is a nod to the "Green Hills Zone" from Sonic.

I had some fun with the editor

http://4sure.co.nz/retrovirushelp/whatsnew.shtml More coming soon. The deathmatch gameplay is pure awesome; more people are coming to my server now, and we are having a fantastic time. The anti-lag seems to work brilliantly right out to 200ms and beyond, with the Rifle remaining honest the entire ...

Well, I can't say that is true, but what I can say is that no one can accuse you of being repressed.

Oh. My. God. You all sound (with the extremely manly exception of Heretic!) like a bunch of menopausal women! Look, real men do not discuss the state or condition of their hair UNLESS they have been involved in a severe industrial accident, and lose most of it, along with half their face, and a limb ...

Nice to see you last night Aus-RED-5. It's usually pretty easy to distinguish you from a bot. I really miss the HUD-Name ability of Descent 3.

Gamestop were slow to get it up, but I have just had an email confirming it is available now.

Mobius

Because it's also an open invitation to come test.

I am having a whale of a time: The Triple Grenade to the face is the Tri-Fusion of Retrovirus. Happily it can't really be whored like the Fusion Cannon though.

I made a little video of the new gameplay:

Thorne - the new Alpha release has in-game chat. It's the RETURN key (can be mapped to F8) and you can't see what you are typing - but hey, at least it is in! As we discussed, I am very keen to develop with you, some strategies to evade locked missiles. And now that the Grenades are also exploding ...

Meh. If you want a fun Porsche, try to find a 993 Carrera RS (a 4S would be an ok alternative.) The 993 Carerra RS is a car I've actually driven at the track, as my guys run one. :) It's an awful car compared to modern 911s. Seriously. It is far too small, is very very tricky at the limit, and ...

The patch should be available via Gamestop very shortly. The patch includes * Added game launcher with news and external configuration. * Added video and audio device selection through the launcher. * Added dedicated servers, which can be configured in the launcher. * Added Fragment, Exhaust, and ...

Hulk Runner Early in the 21st cenutry, Deckard is a Hulk Runner whose job it is to ensure that all hulks are "retired". His job involves scanning people with a Voight-Kampf machine to try and induce anger, and prompt the Hulks to bulk out. While pursuing a group of escaped off-world Hulks, Deckard ...

Eclectic cars people! Very interesting to see a Ford Escort listed here! There are still quite a few old Escorts knocking around Christchurch, in various stages of decomposition.

Ah well, maybe someone will be interested later in the project, closer to Christmas.

It has a style sheet and most of the site is driven by it, so it would be relatively easy to change. And I suppose I might make it a brighter orange to match the new forum colours at Cadenza. But hell, I am lazy...

Hello Gentlemen, The Retrovirus editor "Paragon" (which I have just been kitted out with, all 18GB of the development environment!) will become available at the launch of the game in December. However, at that stage it will have no documentation and precious little information in the Wiki. Cadenza ...

Funny you should ask Avder! Please see my other new thread on this subject. You may be pleasantly surprised.

I'm glad you are enjoying the RVHelp site, and yeah - Tactics is next.

Changing the colour is not an option, as I am extremely lazy, and am already about 30 hours into it.

It was predictable I suppose, that I'd have to create a help web site for Retrovirus, and so I have. You may find it looks familiar, and that is because I have simply copied my D3 Help Web Site (Which is live again, after an absence) and crossed out the word "Descent" and inserted the word ...

An Alpha update/patch is out: 0.57.3678 It's just 15.6MB. If you have not updated, please do so. Included are many bug-fixes, and some new sounds. Which rock. Next update *should* be around the end of next week: 27th or 28th. The team are trying to get out a patch at the end of each sprint. My ...

You are probably right: I think the main point of attending was to give their presentation about the experience of developing from scratch, two totally different gaming engines. To my mind, this is one of the most compelling things about Retrovirus: not having the exact same look as 15 other ...
