FreeSpace 2 Source Code Project
Some notable original mods and campaigns have been created, such as "Wings of Dawn" which takes place in an anime-style world, and "Blue Planet" which offers a continuation of "Freespace 2", telling of a civil war between Earth and the GTVA. "The FreeSpace Port", sometimes called FSPort, ports the original "Descent: FreeSpaceThe Great War" to the "FreeSpace 2" and SCP engine with many graphical enhancements, and serves as a base for many mods set in the FreeSpace: Great War era, such as "Shrouding the Light" and "Awakenings". "Silent Threat: Reborn" similarly ports the "Silent Threat" expansion for Descent: Freespace into the Freespace 2 SCP engine.
Descent (1995 video game)
In November 2014, several former developers for the "Star Citizen" game, led by Eric "Wingman" Peterson announced that they were forming Descendent Studios to work on a multiplayer game similar to "Descent" in play style, and with the working title "Ships That Fight Underground". The company was approached by Interplay in December and a deal was struck to license the "Descent" name and to reboot the entire Descent franchise to Descendent Studios. In March 2015, Descendent Studios announced a Kickstarter for "Descent: Underground", a new prequel using Interplay's existing IP rights to the "Descent" franchise (with Parallax owning the remaining IP, such as the original Pyro GX ship and music). It is powered by Unreal Engine 4 and has a planned release date of fall 2018. The game is to be released in 2019 under the name "Descent".
