Description
A piece dedicated to the large chunk of my childhood spent as material defender 1032 inside the cockpit of Pyro-GX. Too bad the poor ship ended up in the sun.I did this as an attempt to photoshop few of my pencil drawings, this being first of them. While my original plans were, as always, totally different, I think this doesnΒ΄t look that bad either.

Looks like Level 11.... also it's really sad that the ship had to be disposed of. ATLEAST KEEP IT IN A GALLERY! Poor ship... sabotaged by it's own internal component by some greedy son of a gun.

I will always keep it in my heart.
But maybe it's high time I made something more recent.

Yeah, bring back Descent. Honestly, sense DOOM got a re-release, I think we need a Descent re-release (I mean Underground counts but that doesn't have a Pyro-GX in it..)

Actually there is another project that remakes descent. It's called Overload and it looks incredible.
And with some luck they will include a pyro... or somebody will mod it in. They better...

Yeah, because that's what makes Descent, Descent. Also I somehow forgot about Overload. They better have like some sort of little thing for multiplayer where you can select the Pyro-GX as a unlockable ship or just have it flyable anyways in general. Most iconic ship I ever put my eyes on. Poor ship deserves a little more respect after Descent 3's Intro...

Descent was the first FPS I've ever played, and it certainly wasn't the last. I should really do some fanart of this game myself one of these days.

Yeah... those were the good ol' days. I really ought to revisit it myself. I fact... Let's install it again!

Way ahead of ya. I have it (and Descent 2) on Steam.

Nice!
I have all three on GoG... I musn't install it, though.
I would sink SO much time into it.
I may draw something new, though. That sounds like a plan.

Son, I know the feeling. Both 1 & 2 (sorry, don't have 3) are still on my computer, and I'd play them to the point where I lost track of time.
Nostalgia, man. It does a lot of things to you...

I think GX lacks the same blocky charm.
Thanks for the fave, though, I really appreciate it.

That ship was the only part of PTMC that I liked...

You'll never find an amount of kickass in the classic computer game world that rivals the Pyro GX, the best robot-blasting piece of... well, pure kickass.

I couldn't agree more.
And I do thank you for the fave...

Hawt Pyro here. Love what you did!
Descent is one of the best games I've ever played. It deserves more attention.

Definately...itΒ΄s a legend, known sadly by still fewer and fewer people...
Yet those who played it will never forget the great time they had.
(I for one still play it...)
And thank you for the fav...itΒ΄s much appreciated.
π: 1 β©: 1
Ah yes...it's an unbeatable classic. I still play it, too. I 
You're welcome.

Hell yeah...and it still is...
(IΒ΄m sooo happy that I finally got it to work under XPs...)

MS windows XP...
(I could run it, but the game was messed up...until now!)

(also this looks incredibly impressive: [link] I do hope theyΒ΄ll finish it...)

wow, that doom thing looks nice!
well, i tried this d1x, but i stll face the same problem as before: nothing happens. i start the exe and nothing happens
there's not even a error message, when i start it with cmd...
π: 0 β©: 1
IΒ΄m afraid, I canΒ΄t help you there...
I simply followed the instructions of the install (in the included readme) and...eureka!
(try patching the game...also I believe that you need to copy some files from the CD - all in the readme...)
π: 0 β©: 1
yup, i did it exactly like it'S explained.. :/
doesn't matter^^

Then IΒ΄m running out of ideas...
Have you tried playing using DOSbox?
I donΒ΄t like it, but itΒ΄s one of the few things that seem to be working for the old games.
π: 0 β©: 1
ah, now it works. i was dumb, i thought i patched the game, but i only extracted the patch
now it works perfectly...
funny to play it sonce such a long time... i actually get the stoyline now^^ when i played it the last time, i didn't even know english

Tell me about it...
(but that didnΒ΄t stop me from kicking the asses of my friends in multiplayer)

Of course it's good, there's just that huge amount of gray... Why don't you take the effect you used for the... windows, or whatnot, and use it on the entire spacecraft? it'd be shinyyyy~
π: 0 β©: 1
Okay, it is not that much of an improvement, but itΒ΄s better than nothing...
The trouble is that the Pyro is by default gunmetal-gray (I used reddish gray to go better with the background).
