[00:04] [discord] Are there plans to add the other Ultima games to the compatibility list? [00:04] [discord] Or wizardry crusaders of the dark savant. [00:09] [discord] sounds like we have a volunteer to add support for those games [00:09] [discord] I would if i had knowledge on how to do such things lol [00:33] [discord] I may actually tackle them eventually. At the moment, for example, I have a mostly working implementation of Ultima 1 that's just missing the outer space section and endgame fight section. It's been on a backburner for a while. [00:34] [discord] I'm also nearing completion of adding support for Might and Magic Book One, and more of the remaining games of the series may be added as well in the future [00:35] [discord] I'd like to personally see support for the original Wizardry games. I know that the DOS version of Wizardry II was built from the original Pascal, and there's a disassembly of the Apple II version of III's interpreter [00:38] [discord] Thats great news [00:41] [discord] One of the things I'll be working on, at least for Might and Magic 1, is an enhanced mode that introduces a bunch of UI changes from the later games. Like clean inventory and character screens, mini-map, and so on. So when it's done, it'll feel a lot more modern [00:41] [discord] On my side I think I may try again to look into Zeliard [00:42] [discord] That's another fond memory from my youth, another of the earliest PC games I played. [00:43] [discord] That and Cadaver 🙂 [00:43] [discord] yep, hopefully we'll get better results than with Cadaver...

But as always, the best way to make it happen is to volunteer yourself. It's not really helpful to ask for volunteers to do it just because you want it. [02:13] [discord] I *highly* doubt we'll see *Ultima IX: Ascension* supported due to it being less popular and more complex, but who knows.
