Holy shit, nice. I hope this doesn't have game-breaking side effects like similar mods that extend the viewing area.

The claustrophobic viewing area of U6 is one of the main things that kept me away from it. That makes it look infinitely more playable.

I agree. To me, only trying the post U4 Ultimas in recent years, U6 was a major decline after U5 due partly to this.
Hopefully Nuvie will be completed in my lifetime so that I can try out U6, Martian Dreams and Savage Empire without that feeling of claustrophobia.

It isn't going to be long until people can come along and play the old Ultima games and have an easier time getting into them than even the people that played them when they were first released. They are making some dramatic improvements

still pissed there is no one working on the critical bugs in exult so my patch for alternate drop mode (accepted) can come out on a real new version.

It's a shame we never saw fangames built with Exult. I hope at least we get some with this engine.

There are fangames being built on exult.

2 (savage empire remake and Feudal Lands - not to mention the key ring mod, which is actually complete) or more.

There's also an Ultima VI remake(!) being made in Exult. And it's actually seeing some very good progress.

Including this engine, that's three different U6 remakes.

That's a terrible font. Readability trumps fanciness. Shit like this ruins games for me.:x

Should just use the same font as U7 for its dialogues. It's perfectly readable and immersive at the same time. Yes, I called a typeface immersive. Sue me.
