Pumo Mines – A fanmade mod and single player campaign designed for the D2X-XL sourceport of Descent 2
–
This trailer reveals my Pumo Mines single-player campaign and mod designed exclusively for D2X-XL, the extended and feature-rich OpenGL Windows and Linux source port of Descent 2 (The classic MS-DOS videogame from the 90’s).
“Pumo Mines” is an ambitious modding project that features a multi-episodic campaign with lots of custom content like graphics, music, enemies, weapons and more, taking advantage of D2X-XL advanced modding and scripting features. It also features a completely new original story and characters, set on the ficitional universe of Pumo Software projects.
Pumo Mines has three episodes that can be selected through a short introductory hub level.
Current release (v1.1) features 12 levels and includes the full first episode and the three first levels of second episode.
