ANOTHER Exult-inspired engine
Posted: Fri Oct 31, 2003 11:38 am
On the xu4 forums, Gradilla Dragon announced a new Ultima engine - one for Ultima 5, called Nu5 (Neat Ultima 5).
This means that Exult marked the beginning of a series of Ultima engines from 4 to 8 (xu4, Nu5, Nuvie, Exult, Pentagram), all with the same objectives and inspired by Exult (Nu5 claims to be 'inspired' by xu4, but xu4 was in turn inspired by Exult anyway).
I wonder whether all 5 teams could work together to kind of make all the engines into one. I don't mean that they should all merge together and work as one team. I mean that a kind of main menu could be developed to run any of these engines, and people could run any of the engines from it. Just like the Exult main menu where you decide whether you want to play Black Gate or Serpent Isle.
