The Labyrinth of Worlds is a software project that rewrites Ultima Underworld II, offering improved features and gameplay experience, all while keeping the original charm of the classic game.
The tech demo for LoW allows players to explore all Underworld II levels and worlds. You can even jump around and interact with various NPCs and monsters, which adds to the game's overall realism. Additionally, dynamic objects of the game can be seen and manipulated, such as opening containers to access various items.
The paperdoll system has been implemented, allowing you to access your inventory, as well as wear and wield armor and weapons. Conversations with NPCs are now possible, with most of them working correctly, enabling you to understand the storyline better. Plus, NPCs can give you items to help you progress in the game.
Another project that fans of Ultima may be interested in is Underworld Adventures. They're striving to recreate the first installment of the series and are doing an excellent job so far.
For fans of Ultima VII, Exult should be on your list. Version 1.0 was recently released, allowing you to play Black Gate and Serpent Isle with addons. Furthermore, gameplay improvements such as wearable items, an improved user interface, performance upgrades, and better conversation support are included. Keys and locks are also now functional.
Overall, Labyrinth of Worlds is an impressive project that stays true to the original game!
