a source port for Descent 3 has been released, called "Piccu Engine".
It has bugfixes, widescreen support, better scaling, adjustable FOV, the ability to switch between fullscreen/windowed modes and many more

wonder if someday someone do something with Descent to Undermountain....
Speak of the devil, I was going to wonder when one will pop up.

v1.5.0​


This is the first release of the community port of Descent 3, released as open source software under the GPLv3 license on April 16th 2024.

This release is the work of 28 individual contributors over 4 months. It fills in the gaps left in the never-released 1.5 patch of the game, and makes it more accessible and convenient to run on modern devices.

Our focus for this release has been compatibility with modern CPUs and developer experience improvement, while keeping features mostly identical to the code initially released. The next releases will be given more latitude to improve in-game player experience. Descent 3 now runs on 64-bit Linux, Windows and MacOS using SDL2, on AMD64 as well as ARM64 CPUs. 32-bit support has been dropped.

Important note: This open source distribution of Descent 3 DOES NOT CONTAIN GAME ASSETS. Assets must be acquired separately from an official copy of the game, and copied as described in the USAGE.md file shipped with the executable.

Also, feel free to contribute to the collaborative roadmap to shape the next Descent 3 release!
