Vapourware Daggerfall Unity isnt Vaporware

[Sceptic]

so... is this project dead?

No updates since July. DarkXL hasn't been updated since March

I would like to believe this is only temporary, as the guy has left for a few months and then come back in full force in the past, but I'm starting to get worried.

yeah, Lucius has been absent for quite a while now, even DaggerXL forum member are beginning to wonder.

he still have some 4-5 months of inactivity before its declared dead though.

I love the fact that they are keeping the old art assets. I like playing games as they were made, only less buggy.

I've been putting off playing DF because every time I try I get bogged down in bugs.

 

[Abraxas]

He's back.

 

[mariog]

Fuck yeah. This project looks too damn good to die.

 

[Achilles]

He's back.

THIS is a time for great bell tolling!

 

[Sceptic]

My prayers have come true and it was only temporary after all! Great news.

 

[DraQ]

:D

 

[Luzur]

gott sie dank.

If this will be completed and fix many issues with Daggerfall... bye bye real life, atleast for a month.

A month... You have forgotten how big this game is. I'll be gone longer, that's for sure.

It doesn't feel that big once you realize most of it is just cut and paste.

It may not feel big, but big it is. As for the "randomly generated world is shit" discussion, I won't go there.

So, Bethesda didn't send them a cease and desist yet?

Why would they? They've made Daggerfall freeware, and DaggerXL requires the original files anyway.

Besides Bethesda have always been pretty cool about people modding their stuff, as far back as Daggerfall's initial release.

i am fairly certain they did shut down some projects.

i am fairly certain they did shut down some projects.

Conversion of Morrowind to Oblivion engine, since the game was (and still is) sold.

 

[Luzur]

oh yeah, i remember that, from TESF.

also another mod was closed down, but i cant remember what it was about.

 

[Panthera]

In general, game companies have a legal bug up their asses about porting content from one game to the other.

Good to see it's not dead. This one really makes me believe that it's going to get finished.

 

[DraQ]

Software converting Morrowind content to Oblivion engine, since they are douchebags.

Repaired.

 

[Saxon1974]

Cant wait for this one to get finished, awesome.

 

[Luzur]

and either Arena XL or Dark Forces XL is next on the list, after Dagger XL.

MEMod, the Middle Earth one? That was Tolkien's estate being dicks, if that's what you're thinking of.

Not much to say about DaggerXL that hasn't already been said, but I'm absurdly excited.

Dark Forces isn't really a game that needs a Windows port. It's a simple Doom clone, works great on dosbox. Arena XL would be pretty awesome, though
