Descent WAS an awesome game, and I did think of that game when I came up with the name for this game. Even though they are similar in name, I believe that they are far enough in genre, year, and concept that there really isn't any issue.
To further the gap, I made sure to include the subtitle too. Descend: Downward Paths was also checked for any confusing acronyms, but there are no games or majorly used abbreviations that would confuse DDP for something else.
Sweet. Glad you're taking such things into consideration. So are you gonna go for a completely serious story format or are you going to take a more comical approach?
It will not outwardly try to be comical, though there will be things that don't fit a serious tone. Swords, shields, bows, torches, potions are all quite serious and standard. Umbrellas, "Keyblades", banana peels, nerf guns, and wolverine claws are not so standard, and at times can seem silly. The items players will be using should be unpredictable, but I do want to avoid items just being random crap, looking like players just waded through a Toy'R'Us junkyard of sorts.
Anyway, point is, not really serious, but not coming right out and saying it.
I like this, but it kinda makes me think about "Descent". I'm probably the only one, but Descent was one cool friggin game.

Whoops. Purely an abbreviation. Unless someone figures out a cool acronym for it!

ReplyDeleteHeh, unfortunately, there isn't much I can do about that. Good news is that Moss, my graphic designer, may help to revamp the looks of the blog.
ReplyDeleteActually, come to think of it, I don't think it was always this bad...
