Trivia
Originally announced in 1995 (shortly after the release of the original
Descent),
Descent to Undermountain was supposed to be an RPG powered by the
Descent engine and with a strong focus on multiplayer (namely, co-op play). In addition to the absence of the co-op play that was promised,
Descent to Undermountain also turned out to be a buggy mess when it was released in Christmas of 1997. Although a patch released in early 1998 seemed to have alleviated some of the game's problems, far too many problems still remain in
Descent to Undermountain as it stands today.
Shortly after the game's release, some programmers on the
Descent to Undermountain team admitted on a Usenet forum that the game was released even though it was far from finished -- the usual excuse for the buggy, incomplete state of many other games. The reason for the game's premature release was because they wanted to meet the original deadlines for the game -- regardless of whether it was ready for release or not! Talk about sheer laziness...
