This is actually a comprehensive collection of utilities and in-progress remakes of titles, all done in the engine. The list of utilities is pretty comprehensive, including functional moongates (with !), NPC scheduling, animated potions, a conversation system to replace the default NWN system, and a very good reproduction of the venomous dagger of fame.

But even more promising is the list of remakes that are being put together by this team and others. Currently in progress are remakes of , (which provides the screenshot here), , , and . Most of these seem still to be in the early stages of development, but the Ultima 7 remake — which deals, it seems, only with the events of at present — looks to have progressed somewhat further.

Here is hoping, then, that this collective set of efforts bears much fruit in the future! As the projects progress, I’ll probably break off each remake into its own standalone entry. For now, this one omnibus entry will suffice.

* Windows Snapshot (1.1 MiB, 147 hits)
* Mac OS X Panther Snapshot (751.7 KiB, 97 hits)
* Mac OS X Tiger Snapshot (1.7 MiB, 123 hits)

Eric Fry’s novel remake of the engine is also going to be compatible with and . Though currently being developed under OS X, there are downloadable binaries for both and 10.3+ (the developer feels these snapshots might also work under earlier versions of OS X, however this is untested. It is the opinion of that they will not, simply because of some key API changes that exist between OS X 10.2 and 10.3).

The program source code is also available. users will have to compile from source.
