It is currently available for Linux/i386 and Windows, but since it uses SDL/OpenGL it should be portable to other operating systems or platforms. (If anyone whishes to port it, please contact us.) This game is planned as tactical simulation and will be as realistic as our time and knowledge of physics allows. It's current state is ALPHA, but it is playable. | Danger from the Deep 0.0.18 | new | Danger from the Deep |

Unfortunately it is a single player map since the SDK hadn't been released yet so we don't have coop, yet. As a note many of the beta testers told me that after playing my map they stopped playing single player doom 3 and only play my map. In addition, I have never been scared while watching a movie or playing a game, but I have to say that in my map at one particular point I got so scared that I paniced and jumped out the window. To sum it up, don't play this map if you have any heart problems, because the map is EXTREMELY thrilling. Thank you for your time and I hope you enjoy. | First Map Release from the Last Man Standing Doom 3 Mod! | default | |

Very cool. <p> This game has been in the works for at least I year, I think. Many months back, Aegis released a playable test/demo binary that demonstrated some real pretty graphics, but was awful in terms of control and stability. One hopes they've come a long way since then, and no doubt they have. I'll certainly shell out 40 bucks or whatever as soon as it's available! | BFRIS shipping soon? | default | |
