Voodooextreme.com spotted that the lateste exult version, 0.94alpha5 has been released with these improvements:
Many improvements, including a new real-time stats display, MIDI support in MacOS ports, near-perfect dungeon rendering, and a huge number of bug fixes, to the point where Serpent Isle is playable up to the release of the Banes
And in a recent update days earlier the Exult team revealed the following progress report (some of which made it into this latest build):
Max has implemented MIDI for the MacOS (classic and X) versions of Exult!
Attacking non-living items like chests and doors should now work properly
We have a new renderer, that should reduce the amount of glitches.
Literally dozens of plot-related bugs have been fixed, including: Moonshade Trial bugs, the Gargoyle's tests in Furnace, SI crystal balls, you can now resurrect Gwenno properly, the Banes-cutscene now works, and many more (all Serpent Isle related items).
Exult is a "patch" that enables Ultima VII and Serpents Isle to run on modern hardware. However, you need the original games, of course. For the download, visit this page. |
