Billy sends word of a post to the Descent BulletinBoard by Outrage Entertainment's Jeff Slutter announcing that he's been working on a Linux Descent 3 client, which he plans on releasing as soon as he works out a couple of features and squashes a few bugs. Here's the poop:

Question:Is there a D3 client for linux? I know there is a dedicated server.

Jeff (Outrage):Heh, funny you should ask. Yes there is one, but no it's not released [yet]. I just built it again today for the first time in awhile and played a little multiplayer on PXO with it.

Some things left to do on it before release. No sound yet. No joystick yet. A few minor bugs here and there, nothing major (that is known). Oh yeah, some thread issues need to be solved for internet name lookup too.

I hope to start working on it again...to get it out there. Glide is pretty stable. OpenGL works, but I've only tested it with my 3Dfx card and I know it needs a little more. I just installed a G400 on my machine so I can test with that too hopefully.
