Some developers of Star Citizen have decided to develop a new entry in the Descent series. To do so, they have started a "Descent: Underground" Kickstarter campaign. The finished game will be released as a program for Windows, Mac, & Linux. It will include a single player campaign. It will also have multi-player for up to 64 combatants on a single map! The team is working with a number of members of the current Descent 1&2 fan community to make sure the flight and gameplay feel right. The team is updating things here and there so that the older generations and the newer generations of gamers can both enjoy the newest in the series.

Current fundraising numbers stand at 4,282 backers pledging $241,361 toward a goal of $600,000 with 20 days left to go.

What are your thoughts? Do you hope this project succeeds? Would you be happier with leaving the Descent series where it already is with the last entry?
