Incline Fully playable Ultima Underworld 1 port to Unity with mouse-look

[felipepepe]

This is over a year old, some people probably already know, but this should be talked about more: https://github.com/hankmorgan/UnderworldExporter/releases

The game is fully playable, runs smoothly, has an Arx Fatalis-like control scheme where you press E to switch between mouse-look and unlocking the mouse. Also adds the ability to play with the soundtrack from the PSX release and customize the UI & controls.

Good to wash out the disaster that Underworld Ascendant was...

I never knew this had a PSX version...

Interesting that it also covers System Shock 1, which doesn't seem like a lot of point given the enhanced version is already released that seems to cover their feature list already.

Time to dig out my UW CD...

 

[Dux]

Very nice to see. They're continuing to work on UU2 as well I take it?

 

[Mustawd]

Thanks felipepepe

The 'news' part of this to me is that it has received an update since February.

Only a 64bit release for windows. Can't run it on my crap netbook, but on my desktop PC. I'm interested in the Linux version's performance though.

Unity

Why?

 

[Lhynn]

Unity is garbage. But the alternative is just not getting it.

But yeah, unity is garbage.

And then, let's take a piss on their graves.

 

[Skdursh]

Maybe I'll actually finish the game now.

Eh, the biggest problem isn't necessarily that Unity is garbage in and of itself. It's a capable enough engine, although I have no idea why people would choose it over UE4. I think the big problem is that it's just easy enough to use that people that don't know what they're doing can get something up and running pretty quickly and then run right into a brick wall when it comes to things like optimization or adding custom features.

wonder what the state of this in, as when I last checked it out was rather not ready yet for play

It claims that Ultima Underworld 1 is fully playable, but I can't vouch for that personally. I'm going to give it a try sometime tomorrow afternoon most likely and I'll report back.

 

[Yosharian]

But does it have Ultrawide support?

 

[vota DC]

Commands seems different here. I could play original with mouse only, here they encourage to use a lot the keyboard.

 

[taxalot]

Play the original or nothing.

Unity has come a long way since v5 and onwards. It's an exellent choice for small scale and even medium sized games. Editor, tools, UI, Unity asset store and realtime previewing allow for rapid production cycles, better so than UE4.

 

[Jaedar]

This seems relevant to my interests.

 

[Pots Talos]

It's been over a decade since my last playthrough, this is a good excuse to fire it up again.

Then why does every fucking RPG made in it have such insanely high system requirements and even then stutters with poor frame rate and heating issues??

Mouselook and WASD movement is awesome, I can finally play this.

I've ran into a couple of bugs or annoyances, like being unable to pick up things from the ground, having to click a thousand times to do it. Also, the death screen constantly loops between the skulls and the Silver Tree sometimes, and does not let me re-spawn.

Is there any consequence to dying and re-spawning at the tree?

Slings are OP.

 

[Skdursh]

Play the original or nothing.

Screw that. These games definitely benefit from these Unity/engine remakes. It guarantees that future generations will still be able to play them as technology leaves the originals behind and also adds plenty of quality of life features and improvements. Just look at Daggerfall Unity, the remake is nearing feature-parity and it actually has a view distance farther than 15 feet.

Because it's easy enough to use at first glance that any random jackass can start building a game with it, but then don't know enough about making games or programming to tackle optimization. When people with actual skills make games with it, they tend to run fine.
