An amazing remake, is a cross-platform reworking of the / engine that allows the game to be run on modern operating systems with expanded memory environments. This is not the same as a memory-manager wrapper program, and it works on many systems apart from Windows.

Exult 1.2 is the latest “stable” release – Team Exult is making massive engine changes, and subsequent releases are expected to have instabilities as a result. It has , , , and builds available. Also avaliable is the source code, so that people running other systems can compile and build Exult.

This is a mod for (with the release of , expect these to become more and more common) that seeks to merge and into one seamless narrative. Additionally, it will feature a third continent — the — and a series of quests that the and his/her party must complete there.

This is an ambitious remake (and also a spin-off, within the technical definition of the term), to be sure! In addition to the expanded narrative, the developers plan to re-introduce the Virtues to the lands of (i.e. the Avatar will once again be able to interact with the Shrines). As well, they plan to overhaul the spellcasting system and to enable party members to wield spellbooks.

* Exult 3D Models (3.9 MiB, 117 hits)

A project that surged onto the forums over a year ago and which subsequently stopped development in a half-complete state. Currently, Exult 1.4 is required to run it.

That said, the numerous screenshots that the developer made available were amazing, to say the least, and offered a “never-before-seen” perspective on the world of .

As this program uses the original data for Ultima 7 (being, essentially, with a different graphics engine) you will need the original game files to run it. And yes, like Exult, it will run both and .

Produced by: Jaesun
Website: NWN2 Ultima VII Part 2

I do believe this was the first remake to make use of the engine, and what a great Ultima to pick for it. , the reliable fan favourite, was being re-made by Jaesun with what appears to be a minimalist style. The developer was be aiming for a straight-up, no “extra content” remake of the classic title.

Development has paused, possibly indefinitely — as of the last update, Jaesun seemed to have completed most of the towns, and a fair bit of the dialogue as well. He had also completed the Silver Seed expansion. Whether he completes any additional work is yet to be seen.

No files have been released for this project, apart from a few screenshots.

An offshoot of the project, SI French is an effort to translate one of the greatest of the games from English to French. For , the program has been released as a standalone executeable, while for it has been released as a game patch.

The project did complete and released a couple of versions of its modifications, so while it appears to have died, it won’t be put in the Orphanage for the time being. Its website is still up, but seems to be suffering SQL errors.

This project requires Exult.
