Kayvenm has released verstion Alpha 3 of DSCent, a DS port of the classic PC space shooter Descent.

From the Release notes:

New version. Been working on new features but it’s taking longer than expected so here’s a bug fix release in the mean time :

  • Picking up a vulcan canon ammo auto-switched the primary weapon to the vulcan cannon even with auto select disabled
  • Brightness setting changes in menus without being asked
  • Wrong aspect ratio on death/escape sequence (see pictures below)
  • Robot animation
  • ambient sounds not working properly
  • static in some sounds
  • master volume is saved properly

New :

  • Part of the work for rendering robots has been moved to hardware and should help improve speed when multiple robots are on screen.
  • New sound engine
