Experimenting with yet another alternate retro way to play Pumo Mines Mineral Valley (with disabled enemy AI this time).
This time I went further while playing with ReShade shaders and decided to try how it would look with IBM CGA style palettes, hahaha.
Definitely not the most playable experience and could be ugly for non-CGA fans but it is kind of nice as an experiment, I might try with an EGA palette soon.
Pumo Mines is a fanmade mod and single player campaign project made by me and designed for the new versions of D2X-XL sourceport for the Descent 2 videogame.

“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.
For more info about Pumo Mines and links to download the mod/campaign for you to play (requires both original Descent 2 game data and Arne’s version of D2X-XL) go here:

You can get Descent 2 on either GOG.com or the Steam game store.
D2X-XL source port newer bug-fixed and stable version is available to download at https://pumosoftware.com/#d2xxl and on https://github.com/arbruijn/d2x-xl/
I’m using a custom ReShade preset for the retro visuals on D2X-XL you can appreciate on this video. The preset will be included with the next upcoming release of Pumo Mines.

“Pumo Mines” is created by Pumo/Pumo Software (aka me), with assets and help of many other great designers from the Descent community.
All the music featured in this mod as well as the BGM that can be heard during the gameplay is composed by R.a.M. Land (my artistic nickname).
