Unity Underground

I just finished my first run as a mage. Top-tier, amazing work! I've been playing Ultima Underworld since I was a teenager, and this is one of the smoothest experiences I've had with it. I've got a handful of notes if you'd like to hear them. Should I post them here, or is there a better way to send them?

Is it just me, or do the starting stats seem off? Like, The mage and bard have reversed stats (mage should be int first and bard should be dex first), or how the fighter has a floor of 12 for dex instead of int. And I could never seem to roll a 30 in anything.

I'm not sure what it means that I can't seem to roll 30, but I think I know what's going on with the other stats. In the original underworld, the stats are in the character creation screen are ordered STR, DEX, INT. And in this remake, they are ordered STR, INT,DEX.

So it seems what's happening is slots 2 and 3 of stats are reversed. Classes with high dex and low int are getting the opposite, and vice versa.

This is incredible work!  It's amazing navigating around my favorite game of all time using an Xbox controller!

I have to ask, how much effort would it be to add VR support to this project?  I'm not asking for a VR control scheme, just adding an option to render it to VR while still using the Xbox controller to play.  It's been a lifelong dream of mine to walk around this world in VR.  Even just a VR map viewer would give me some immense feelings of nostalgia.

I discovered an item duplication bug. I'm not sure how it happened, but I loaded my game and discovered some stuff in containers in my inventory had been duplicated. I couldn't tell if it happened during the loading process, or when switching to a new character/save file, or what. I'll keep testing and post an update if I figure out a pattern.

One of my favorite QoL features from UltimaHacks was the ability to type out runes, which was way faster than clicking them. Is anything like this a possible inclusion for a later release?

i would pay money for UW2 port...20 Dollar no less.

just saying :)

Oh one thing that bothers me, as playing a mage: I do have now to click now every time on the runed spell and target the enemy again?
That worked else before, you could like spam magic missile.

Omg this keyboard/mouse control is so amazing. Does it switch to controller when one is connected or how can you use one now?
And, would it be possible to make the mouse view speed adjustable?

It doesn't accept any input on the title screen, I can't click introduction, new game, nothing.  Music plays and cursor moves. any suggestions?

Using K&M, how do you pick things up. There is no instructions for anything. I thought there might be in Options, but that is very small with no help for fighting, or casting. I can't even use full screen. How do I change any settings? Thanks.

Completed the game from start to finish, no real issues or bugs to report. Nice port, gamer.

is there a options settings or a manual?

Thank you so much for your hard work!

are you planning support to Ultima Underworld II: Labyrinth of Worlds too in near future?
game engine mostly same, but improved version. 

Really impressive. I had no idea about this until today, and when I first saw it I assumed it was hankmorgan's Unity-based Underworld Explorer project that went dark a couple of years ago.

I'll wait for KBM support, but are there any plans to add the orchestral soundtrack from the Japan-only PlayStation version?

This looks amazing, but I have to wait for K&M support. Will this have mouselook? One of my big gripes with the originals were the strange control schemes. I still miss the Ultima series and we haven't even gotten one in over a quarter of a century, longer than that for a truly great entry.

After 2 weeks of silence, do you have any update on the K&M implementation? Hoping it's soon. Thanks.

Excellent work, I have thoroughly enjoyed replaying this classic.  Your attention to detail in making this engine is really something to applaud.  I don't remember the first time I played this game, but I do remember how it felt, and your engine delivers exactly the same feeling if not more.  I did notice a couple of issues, one in particular that made the game hard to finish.  When trying to throw the sword of justice, or any other weapon, they seem to vanish into thin air.  I was able to figure out that it might have something to do with not having a weapon in hand as when I swapped weapons, I could finally throw it.  Also, I'm not sure if I missed it, but is there only the single swing with a weapon?  The original had three, it didn't stop me from beating the game, but it seemed to have made some enemies very hard to hit, the fire elementals I was not able to hit with a sword at all.  I did also notice that the maze on level 7 does not drain health or anything, I got stuck in there and walked out as if nothing ever happened making it possible to kill Tyball as soon as you get to the maze.

Once more congratulations on this great accomplishment, and from all the Ultima fans out there, a big Thank you.  

It is hard to find a game like this nowadays, and keeping these classics alive is no easy task as they get swept away in waves of garbage they make now.

I hope Richard Garriot took notice of your work.

Cheers

Is it possible that in level 5 is missing some geometric data? For example when I go down the stairs at the bullfrog puzzle from level 4, the stairs are not on level 5 anymore and I can clip through. Also a bit further in from that stairs, there are parts without floor and I can just fall down out of the level

Is it safe to update the game with existing savegames? Thanks for caring!

I THANK YOU for creating this!! You are the greatest (Ultima Underworld modernizer) Especially like that i can use my Dualsense.

Now that you laid so much groundwork, do you think doing UW2 will be faster? PLEASE consider it.

I wasn't aware of this project at all, thank you for putting so much effort into this! Just out of curiosity as a fellow game dev; are you planning to release the Unity project (rather like Daggerfall Unity) for people to be able to mod the game?

Sorry, but I have to ask... are all 3D models AI generated? They seem weirdly out of place.

Thanks for the continued updates, love this project. Would it be possible to make a version with NPCs, that are kind of more "low res" to match the overall look better?

Any update on when M&K will be available? I don't own, or ever use controllers and I would love to play this as I have all the Ultima games.
