And it shall come everything that made for XL engine? New sprites and interface with journal.
Welcome to the forums Biboran.
Daggerfall Tools for Unity is not directly intended to be a remake of Daggerfall, it's a bridge for developers between Daggerfall's binaries and the Unity3D game engine. However, DFTFU will enable the community to not only remaster Daggerfall in the same manner as DaggerXL hoped to, but allow for the creation of more games built in the same style. The
FAQ has a few more details.
Daggerfall Tools for Unity is only 9 months old and it's climbing the feature ladder very quickly. The reason for this is I don't need to worry about implementing engine features (Unity is a powerful engine with all the features you could ask for) and I'm free just to work on the Daggerfall side of things. DFTFU is also completely open source and has an active community helping it to mature faster.
I can't really place a time-frame on when vanilla Daggerfall will be playable with Unity, as that's not my goal and I would be speaking for other developers who are working on that goal. But with that said, I would be very surprised if there isn't at least a partial remaster working by this time next year. There's just too much activity, too many people working on small pieces of the puzzle, and too much fun being had. It's surprising how quickly a community can work together with the right tools available to everyone.
