Descent Speedrunner
        Hi there, My name is Derek Justis know as “Justis” on Twitch.tv. I speedrun a game called Descent for the PC. Let me tell you what Descent is. The game requires the player to navigate labyrinthine mines while fighting virus-infected robots. The player is given the clear objective to find and destroy each mine's reactor core and escape before the mine is destroyed by the meltdown. To obtain access to the reactor, the player must collect the blue, yellow, and red access keys for each location. As an optional objective, the player can also choose to rescue PTMC workers that were taken hostage by the infected robots.
Descent features a complementary points system. Players can score points by destroying enemy robots, picking up power-ups, and detonating the reactor. Bonus points are awarded on completion of each level. These bonus points are based on the player's shield and energy count, the skill level played, and a combination of picking up any hostages and safely rescuing them.                                     
        Descent features 30 levels, three of which are secret levels. Each level was based in a mine located in various locations in the solar system. The first three levels begin on the Moon, the next two on Venus, and two more on Mercury. The seventh level features the game's first boss rather than a reactor, and was the last level of the shareware (Thats why people wanna race or Speedrun Levels 1-7 cause some people dont have the Full game, so they call it a Sprint run). In the full version, the player moves on through twenty more mines in an outward pattern from Earth: Mars, Io, Callisto, Ganymede, Europa, Titan, Hyperion, Tethys, Miranda, Oberon, Neptune, Triton, Nereid, Pluto, and the final level and boss fight on Charon. (I hyperlinked the names of these moons and planets, some pretty cool info about them) The player accesses the three secret levels located in the Asteroid Belt using alternative exit doors hidden in specific levels.
        I've been speedrunning Descent for about 8 months now but, I've been playing the game God knows how long. Since I started watching CosmoWright, Siglemic, Trihex, and many other speedrunners. I said to myself why dont I start speedrunning the game I'm pretty decent at.....Descent lol. Anyways, I've practice and practice and steadying the levels.
I'm honored to be member on your site Smiley Now all I got to do now is get people into the game and start racing it too Smiley
