Re: Mike Kulas and Matt Toschlog are Up to something!!!

IIRC, Interplay don't have sequel rights to the story, only to 6DOF games called "Descent"

Could be very interesting. :D

If you can find out we'd certainly appreciate it. Right now we're working on differentiating our game sufficiently from Descent that it can be our own IP... but if it does turn out Interplay couldn't legally use that C&D (and if we can prove it, that's probably important :P) it wouldn't be very ...
